Jenna/ Sr. Claire's POV 'I think people in this town are not normal,' I keep telling myself as I sit there in Mr. Odega's home with my fingers fiddling together and eyes wandering around the house. I am waiting for him as he went upstairs to change. Mr. Odega after pulling me out of the room brought me straight to his home. There was no one here except a maid and his driver. His house is three blocks away from the house of Mr. McCarthy. It's a modern designed house from the outside but inside, it is filled with those classic antiques. There's a huge transformation of the outside from the inside of his home. It feels like you are back in those days when you live accordingly to etiquette. Except for the huge wolf's portrait on the hall that growls with blood dripping from its teeth, sort of scaring me a little. It feels like the wolf is watching me while I sat there alone. From what I see around this town, the people sure are obsessed with wolves. "Oh no, what if they are wolves...
Jenna/Sr. Claire The next day I wave goodbye to Mr. Odega as he left me on the doorstep of Mr. McCarthy's place. I stand there watching him disappear down the street. Shawn was supposed to pick me up but it all changes this morning. The meeting that Mr. Odega was supposed to attend is pushed forward to early morning so he has to be there early. I find it strange and not normal. However, I am trying to stay positive during my stay here. Last night, Mr. Odega had explained during dinner that he have businesses to attend and one of them was the early meeting. I am not allowed to go with him because non-family members are exempt. I told him again about the Jenna issue and he ensure me that Mr. McCarthy had already solved the problem. I will find it more comfortable around the people in this town. So, here I am in front of McCarthy's place early in the morning. Letting out a heavy sigh. I turn around and knock on the door lightly. The door opens and Mrs. Harrison stood speechless for
Jenna/Sr. Claire "Would you be so kind to take Sr. Claire around for a tour?" Colby ask Shawn which made me sigh in relief. I try to wipe away the sweat on my forehead. 'God! why am I overthinking the situation in McCarthy's home? I look at Shawn and he looks conflicted as to if he doesn't want to take me around. I bet if I was an ordinary woman he would take the chance but since I am a woman of God and look ordinary he doesn't seem to be interested. 'Men' I thought in my head. "Colby, I am sorry but I have things to do. I think Hailey should do it" Shawn replied. Hailey stiffens in her seat, her smile looks forced. She glances at Shawn and I can see her gritting teeth through the smile. The moment became awkward. Luckily the children came running into the living room alleviating the tension and awkwardness in here. Sora exclaimed when her eyes meet mine. She came running to me excitedly. She hugs me and I let her sit on my lap. I glance at Hailey who looks at us with a frown
Shawn's POV"Did she ask you anything about Jenna?" I ask Jude who just plop down on the couch in Colby's office. Colby and I waited for him to answer. We were both curious about her tour with Jude. He takes a deep sigh before throwing me a look."What do you think Beta?" he scoffs. "I was just asking," I growl back at him. My wolf disapproves of Jude's attitude. He didn't like Jude's reply and currently, I am trying not to lose control. If my wolf takes over, Jude won't be giving us that look and attitude. Jude rub the back of his neck and sat up straight. "It's easy to talk to her but it's so hard to watch her cry for her misery in the past" he explains. I sit up straight and glare at him. "The fuck did you do? Your job was simple. You are supposed to make her feel welcome not to feel shitty" I angrily scold him. "Shawn, you need to calm down," Colby said when seeing my jaw and fist clenched."Look, you don't get to be mad at me. Our Alpha offered for you to be her tour guide an
ShawnI was sure to die for her when I quicken my step, in the direction of her voice. I stop when I see a big bear sleeping under the tree as she firmly grip her hands around the tree branch. The sight of her hanging on another branch for dear life while sitting on the other one made me sigh in relief. She looks happy when seeing me and started to wipe off her tears. Her eyes look red and swollen as if she has been crying for hours. I put my hand between my lips, asking her to be quiet. She nodded her head and I made my way to her. My step is so stiff as I didn't want to step on a branch or anything that will make a loud noise. The branch that Jenna was sitting on suddenly snap making the bear wake up and roar at her. I halt in my step. I don't want Jenna to know that I am a werewolf. The bear roared and swirl around in my direction. I made eye contact with him. He's a creature and I am a half creature. We can communicate and I know he will listen to me and not hurt her. "Don't
Jenna/Sr. ClaireNothing! That's what I found from my mission which I fail to accomplish. A week passed and I ended up with nothing but only to be chased around by the bear and saved at last by Shawn. It was so embarrassing to be scared by the big bear and then sleep on Shawn's back when he piggyback me. Gosh, I've never asked him if I had snored or drooled on his back. Some things are better left to be unsaid, right? I didn't uncover the connection between Jenna to Shawn. Then between her and Colby and his wife and everybody else. I didn't even get the proof to know if what I saw on the first day of my arrival here in the forest is wrong or just another illusion. Ughh maybe I am wrong, darn. The people here have been so good to me but God I am the sinful one for doubting them. Since there was no mystery for me to uncover. The story was simply how Jude explains it to me. A part of me refused to give up but I decided to let it go and enjoy my stay here.Speaking of living here wit
Colby's PovAfter another argument with Hailey, I storm out of the house. I needed space from her and I don't regret letting out my anger. I told her so many times that Sr. Claire is not Jenna. She might be in the past but now she is a different person. I also told her not to say some shit about Jenna because there are people around us that are still hurt from her sudden disappearance. However, Hailey is always stubborn and selfish enough to shove everything in other people's faces. I can't believe that our argument was about her disrespecting Jenna and then it ended with our past which made me infatuated with her even more. She always made me feel guilty about what I've done in the past. Yes, I admit I rejected her and broke her heart but I've begged and done everything to make amend for it. Up until now I am still not forgiving myself for what I did. I am still working on everything to make it alright. However, I've never made her feel bad about what she had done to me. Never thr
Jenna/Sr.Claire"Who was Jenna to you?" I ask and they all turn to me with shocked expressions.It's like they didn't expect me to hear their argument about Jenna. I didn't quite get what they were arguing about. The only line I hear was Shawn's warning to Hailey in which he did mention Jenna. I was going to forget about it but since Jenna is a hot topic around this town and I am always the center of their attention. I cannot let go easily, especially when some people like Hailey can not stand the sight of me because of Jenna. I want to forget her so bad but they made it impossible for me not to meddle. I regret not digging deeper a week ago but I do not regret asking who Jenna was to them. I want to know that connection. "So who's Jenna?" I ask again and waited for anyone's response but by the look on their faces.They look conflicted. I am about to ask again when Shawn answer "she's my ma- girlfriend."OMG did I hear him right. I know he was to say another word. "No, you were ab
