Sr. Claire/ Jenna’s PovThe sound of waves crashing to the shore made me close my eyes and enjoy the breeze. I love this and I wish to enjoy this beautiful scene and moments forever. “Aunty” I smile upon hearing that sweet voice and turn back to see my nephew namely Wes waving at me. That kid has grown up so quick and I love to spoil him as he is my only nephew. He took both of his parents looks which is an excellent combination. "Aunty" he calls again and I wave at him, shaking my head casually. Today’s my vacation day and I decided to spend it with my family at the beach house like I did every year. We have been doing this practice every year during the warm summer season. I do not own the beach house as I don’t have money and yes, I finally have a family now apart from the nuns, my mother superior and the children at the orphanage.“Jenna” my mom hugs me to her side when she reaches me. I snap out of my thoughts and smile at her. It has been two months since I haven’t seen her
Jenna's Pov I thought the best way to move on was to run away from my pack two years ago. If you are wondering why I ran away, well the answer is simple. Four years ago, our Alpha Colby found his Luna and introduced her to us. Rumour said she had been married before and now she is divorcing her husband because she and Alpha Colby have finally mended things together. You all have heard the side story of the girl who got rejected and ran away pregnant. Only to come back after a few years to be a strong, sophisticated woman with her chosen mate in her arms. I would say, that is my Luna's life. However, have you heard of the other girl's story? The mate of the man the luna chose, slept with and have her second child with. The one that our luna took as her second chance in love. No, I don't think so, as everyone was busy looking at our Luna while fate was unkind to me. Real fact reveals that I ran run away from our Pack because I was jealous to see our Luna and my mate together as
"Kill me," I said in an affirmed tone. I look back to find Colby sadly looking at me. One look, and I knew that he was the only one who understood me. His silent tonight's said it all. Shawn broke down on his knees in front of me. "What do you want me to do?" he begs me through his tears. "Nothing, because even if you die tonight, it would never take away the pain I am going through," I sadly told him and, my tears betrayed me. Like a waterfall, they keep flowing down to my cheek. The pain in my chest increases and my heart hurts like hell. There's only one thing running through my head, 'I have to let everything I have been feeling out of my being.' "I was an outcast when I was young. My parents never really loved or cared for me. Their whole attention was on my elder sister. I tried very hard to live up to their standards but nothing I did ever made them love me. Our pack never let me in on anything, even when I thought somebody cared. In the end, they only used me for their cho
Shawn's Pov "Did you see her today?" Alpha Colby said as he sat beside me. I nod my head discreetly. "Three years and she still looks breathtaking," I said with my eyes fixed ahead. Colby didn't say anything afterwards as he just sat there and listened to what I had to say. "I told Hailey back then that I don't regret loving her. I even told her that she will always be the woman I first love. It's crazy but I do remember I also told her that I am glad, she is the mother of my child." My heart ached while saying these words and I could feel Colby tense a little. I know that he is uncomfortable because Hayley was his mate before she and I got together. He needs to see that it hurt for me to say this but I needed to let it out. I just need to tell him what I'm feeling right now and I know he's the only one who understands Jenna and maybe he could help me out. Our pack members, my mom, my friends, and even Hailey had been telling me that if she has left because she doesn't accept me
Alpha Colby's POV I keep looking at the rearview mirror between Shawn and Claire. Today's surprise was unexpected. No one was expecting Jenna to be here out in the woods. I glance at her side and found Claire smiling widely while closing her eyes as she took in the breeze. Her strong scent as a human filled our car and Shawn on the other side keeps on stealing glances in her way and I could feel anxiety through our pack link. Letting out a heavy sigh I shook my head and clear my throat before saying something. "So Sr. Claire," I start and she instantly whips her head back and looks in my way with a smile. "What brings you out here?" I ask and she fiddle with her fingers before softly speaking. "Our Mother superior sent me to help out with Mr. Odega's health. He lives in Clearwood." I squint my brow in the mentioning of Mr. Odega's and my pack's name. Jerry Odega is one of the prominent elders in our Pack. Yes, Clearwood is our pack's name. Shawn gave me a questioning look in whi
Jenna/Sr. Claire's Pov Mrs. Harrison showed me to my room. I step inside taking a peek around the room. I find it simple and beautiful. It is painted in faded yellow. There was only a bed and a chair nearby the window and a table besides with books on it. It feels so comfortable and so nice to be here. It's like here is where I truly belong even though my home lies where my mother's superior and the orphanage are. But it still feels like this is my home. "Thank you, this looks beautiful and feels like-" I said while turning around and only to stop in mid-sentence. Mrs. Harrison stood there looking at me with tears that are about to fall from her eyes. I wanted to comfort the woman but I don't know how to do it. "Mrs. Harri-" "Jen...I mean Sr. Claire is it okay if I hug you?" she asked cutting me off. A tear escapes her eye before the others dropped on her cheek. "I am sorry. You remind me so much of my Jenna...if..." she stutter but I moved forward and hug her to my chest. I
Hanna's POV (Claire's Mother) Flashback Slap! "Mom" Another slap stung her cheek and Jenna gasped. She blinked back a tear but it escaped and slid down her cheek. A prolonged and general silence filled the room for a second. No one dares to speak up. My mate Joziah stood there with his clenched fist. He was so close to losing his anger. Sophie's small cries break the silence and her boyfriend Ken who stood on the other side of the couch moved to comfort her. "Why?" she asked. "Why do you treat me like this?" her voice broke and another tear slid down her face. "You don't get to talk to your sister like that. You should be happy for her," I scolded Jenna who still stood there speechless with her left hand on her cheek and tears falling down her face. Not feeling any remorse towards her I said, "admit it! That you are just jealous of your sister. You could not stand her around people. You do not like the fact that she's prettier than you and she's way better than you." "What d
Shawn's POV When she left with Elder Oldega everyone inside the room did not speak up again. Alpha Colby stands there with his eyes close. However, for the rest, their eyes were on me as if they are expecting me to say something or even better to explain myself. Clearing my throat, I stand up from my seat and face them without fear. I wanted to point something out to them that Jenna was never at fault. I heave a sigh before closing my eyes for a minute and opening them up again to see their attention. They were waiting for my explanation. "I do believe that this is entirely my fault. I know you are blaming her right now. But, there's one thing I want everyone to be clear of. The reason why you think she doesn't remember us or have chosen the life she lives was entirely my fault," I said while bowing my head in shame. "You can do this Shawn," I hear Colby through our link. I look over my shoulder and he gave me a reassuring nod. I turn back to our pack with confidence after encour
