Chapter 114
Martin's POV
The gossip of what happened with Claire and the fire infuriates me. Some are saying she started it herself for attention, others are saying it's an accident. I don't reply to anyone when they ask what's happening, that can wait till tomorrow, right now I need to cool off before I go crazy.
I walk until I don't know where I am, I block out the pack, the only gateway open for my warriors and Lena and Bryat. For a moment I just look around the forrest, remembering the day I found Claire wondering around, hardly wearing a thing, testing my self control immensely.
I remember the way her soft grey eyes stared wide and frightened at me the first time we met. I remember her silvery hair glowing, illuminating her pale skin. Her lips as red as a rose. She's definitely special. When I first came and heard rumours about Claire being the 'weak link' I had to fight between laughing and being angry. She's not weak, she can't be. I don't trust myself to be around her in her or my wolf form, I know my inner wolf won't be able to contain itself. Her scent, her aura, her in general is strong and when she's mine I'll be proved correct when I see her wolf.
I shake my head and strip down to nothing, wishing Claire was here. I still don't understand. Does she still not feel comfortable with me? Do I still scare her? I become angry with myself. Damn it, I should have been nicer, tried to be more normal with her. I just don't know how to act around her, she breaks down my harsh barrier that has been held up for so long. Those eyes of hers can make me do anything and second guess everything. If only I could talk to her.
I sigh and run a hand down my face, rubbing my scraggly stubble. I walk out into the field and jump. Mid air I shift into my wolf and take a deep breath, everything inside me feeling better. I stare down at my large paws and dig my claws into the ground. My pure black fur, like all alphas, standing on end as I growl at the air, letting out a deep howl.

If I'm going to keep my anger and wondering mind in check I need to keep busy. I run around the pack territory, going from edge to edge, checking all around the border. I almost decide to run after Tara until I find her and punish her for what she did to Claire. Claire won't want me to but I want to- at this point more than anything. I don't know if I can kill her and the least I can do is banish her but she did that herself. I don't know what to do. Should I just let her go and if she ever comes back punish her or send wolves after her? I don't feel the need to put my warriors on her, as long as she never ever comes back. Now if I ever see her again that's a different story. But I think Claire just wants to put this behind her and me sending my wolves after her and bring that demon back into the pack just seems silly. What did she say to Claire, she seems nervous about Tara being gone even after she tried to kill her. She confuses me....I wish she fucking trusted me.
By the time I go back to the field it's pitch black. The only light being the bright glow of the half moon...the sight reminding me of her hair...her eyes. I huff and reveal in the last moments of being in wolf form, I shake out my ebony fur and shift back.
I take a deep breath and find my clothes, clothing my naked body, trying not to think of Claire as I do so. I walk back slowly, kicking rocks and listening out for anything suspicious.
I look up seeing the back yard of my home and next door, hers. The burnt black side of the house being her room, I'm amazed the roof stayed up. I shake my head, how did all of this happen in a day?
I pray I can sneak in and avoid all contact with Bervely. Maybe I can go over to her house and check on her? I'll ask if she's alright for the night and then go back home and not bother her again....no I know I won't be able to leave if I see her. I'll bombard her with questions.
"Fuck" I curse and tug on my hair, trudging to my house
When I walk in I quietly open the back door and slip in. I smell victory here and I want to light every candle in the house, it's a sweet scent, too sweet and it smothers and gags you. It's hard to believe Claire was here hours ago and all I could smell was her addicting scent. I listen out and start to walk through the hallway but hearing footsteps I panic a little and step into my office, quietly sliding the doors closed. I lean my head against the door and sigh, everything from the day exhausting me to my limit.
I walk over to my dark mahogany desk and slump down in the leather chair, laying my head in my hand. Within minutes I find myself asleep.
I jult awake as my head slips from my hand.
"Ow" I cringe and move around my kinked neck
I look over at the clock to see its three in the morning, I stumble sleepily to the door, wanting my bed. I slide the doors open and walk out into the hallway. I wipe my eyes and yawn.
I don't even notice the person coming down the stairs as I turn the corner to step up. I bump into someone and there arms wrap around me. At first I think it's Lena, similar hair color in the dark room, the only light being from the porch light in front of the windows.
"Oh alpha" she backs up a little but her body still presses up against me
"didn't see you there" she smirks and I fight a frown, her hazel eyes dazed in the dim light and she smirks
"Why are you up Bervely?" I ask boredly
"Well I came to look for you" she smiles as she slides her hand down form my shoulder to my chest
"I tried to wait up but I didn't hear you come in...did you enjoy your run?" She purrs and I took my eyes
"I did, now if you would excuse me" I try to move past her but she steps up on the stairs
"You're tired?" She asks pouting her lip and battering her lashes
"I am, now please" I say a little harsher and push past her, going up the stairs before she can follow me
I close my door and strip until I'm only left in my boxers, I fall in the bed and forget entirely the conversation with Bervely.
