Clary adjusted herself in the seat and sighed as she chewed mentally on the idea of reporting the preacher. She was incredibly tempted to do so but also felt like it was not the right thing to do. She felt like she had done enough damage to the lives of the people she had rubbed on. First, it was the preacher, she was the reason his family left him, and why he became a drunkard, throwing his whole life in the gutter. Then there was Levi, she was the reason that he and his sister’s relationship became strained and unhealthy. That was not all. There was Ace, she was the reason that his wife left him. And now, he was alone in that vast mansion. Clary knew deep down that whenever she entered the lives of people, everything seemed to go wrong. So yeah, she believed that maybe she was cursed and was actually meant to be alone. Maybe that was her destiny. The principal cleared her throat and flashed the omega a smile. “This is for your own good, it’s to help you and set you free from a

Selena was mildly surprised but again, she was not really. She had a feeling from the beginning that the omega was nothing but a trashy leech; someone that was born in poverty that wanted to do everything it took to live a life that was luxrious. “Tell me you’re kidding, please,” Selena scoffed the words out. She ran her hand through her hair and proceeded to walk closer to Clary. Her urge to stab or choke the omega was now stronger. Clary felt tears building in her eyes. “I know what it looks like, but I swear to you that I did not plan any of this,” She tried to explain. “And…uh,” She struggled for the right words to use. “Maybe I’m not pregnant.” Selena almost snapped but she held herself together. “You know what? Let’s get out of this room. I don’t trust myself to be in a confined space with you,” She told the truth, she really wanted to kill the omega. Clary was more than happy to hear this. She waited for Selena to step out before she could, still very scared of the Luna.

Her bones ached and her heart rate slowed, causing her breathing to become deep also. She felt like her control over her body was fleeing with each passing second. The rain was still pouring heavily and the claps of thunder were loud. In a minute, Clary had transformed for the first time into a full-grown werewolf. She had shifted in her wolf, Silence. She felt a strength that she had felt before, it was incredible. She felt like she could do anything; that it was all possible. “How do you feel?” Her wolf asked her. She chuckled incredulously. “I…I feel powerful,” She confessed. “I finally feel in control of my thoughts.” “Good, this is how you were meant to feel all your life. Clary, you’re special. You’re very special, and the sooner you grasp that the better,” Her wolf explained. “Let me take you somewhere, would you?” Clary was a bit hesitant. “But I don’t know what to do. And it’s raining.” “I know it’s your first time shifting, but you’re doing fine. Just let me lead. Let

Ace did not like what Clary had just said but he knew that she was being honest. And even if it was in his case, he would have wanted the same. “What would it take for you to stay; to stay here at the mansion?” Clary made a small throaty sound and then proceeded to stand to her feet. “You really want to know? The truth is that I don’t know. I really don’t know. But what I do know is that I need time by myself. I need to be able to think.” “But you can do that here, you can. I swear you won’t even know that I’m there. I would ignore you if that is what you want.” Clary unlocked the door and opened it. “That is not the point. All I’m asking you for right now is for you to leave me alone. Can you do that, Ace?” Ace had stood up to his feet. He nodded even though he wanted the exact opposite. “Okay, sure. If that is what you want.” He shrugged. Clary flashed him a small smile and then walked out of the room and past him. She headed down the hall and did not even look back. She walked

Levi chuckled in disbelief. “You seriously hate her that much? You hate her to the point that would let her be killed by an angry mob that you stirred?” He asked Selena. “I don’t hate her,” Selena paced the room slowly. “If there is a stronger word for hate, that would be the word you’re looking for. I loathe her. And…I did not stir a mob.” Ace was not feeling okay. He did not like that Selena was willing to let Clary die. He knew that her feelings were justified in a way, but that still did not mean that that was okay. “Are we seriously going to get into that right now?” Mr. Clark finally spoke since he saw Clary. “You all are acting like a bunch of kids. First of all, Selena, you had no right to go on national TV and say all that.” Selena scoffed. “Um, I kinda did. I have every right to say whatever the hell I want to say to the pack. I have the right to inform them of something important that has been going on in the pack.” “You do know what you did, right? You informed th
