"Claire?" I hear someone calling out to me and I accidentally drop the cups on the sink causing to break them into pieces, "what the?!"

I turn around and it was just dad. I completely sigh in relief. He quickly puts his case on the dining table and approaches me with such tremendous worry.

"Did something happen at school?" Dad asks as he holds my hands and check for any bruises. I shook my head lightly, "are you sure? I can tell you are tense."

"Well, you're home early." I look at the clock, "it's still 6pm."

"Well, my boss wanted me to go home early." Dad smiles at me and I did too

Thank you, Lawrence.

Dad pulls out from holding my hand and went to the dining table. I turn around and look at the pot if the stew is ready. Once I knew it was fully cooked, I grab some bowls and utensils.

"Ready for dinner?" I hold out two bowls with the stew on it and face my dad with a smile

"Of course!" Dad happily clasped his hands, "why wouldn't I? It's your cooking!"

-.-.-

Don't let Lawrence affect you but somehow this feeling is really overwhelming. I know I am strong willed and feisty- I have it in me. I just can't really handle with emotions that much. All I ever did was love my father and I have totally forgotten how it felt like to be loved by a mother.

But now?

Lawrence is different. He is a man. He is a powerful man who is a BOSS of my father! I feel different towards him. I feel like I am gasping for him like air. I feel safe whenever he is around.

Is this a romantic feeling or an intense intimate reaction towards a man?

Heck, I am still fifteen years old. I shouldn't be falling for someone who is really older than me.

I just pull my bed sheet to cover my body as I drift off to sleep.

-.-.-

I just shifted back from a run and got all dressed up when suddenly a little girl approached me. I can tell she is from my pack. I think she is lost. Her dazzling blue eyes and blonde hair was remarkable. I am starting to yearn for Claire. We could start a family. We could have kids of our own.

If only fate wasn't all tricky and unexpected.

The night was slowly rising and the forest was becoming dimmer and dimmer.

"Are you the alpha?" The little girl asks with such confidence

"Yes, I am." I kneel down with one knee while smiling at her. Our heads are leveled now.

"When will there be a Luna?" Her eyes tell me that she is waiting for something magical to happen, "mommy said every pack has a Luna."

"Well.." I smirk gently and stand up, "I already found her but.. She isn't one of our kind."

"But you love her, right?" Her little head looks up at me, "what's important is that you love her."

"Yes, of course." I reply, "go along. Your mom might be waiting for you. It's already dark."

"Yes, Mr. Alpha!" The little girl happily walks away and I just smile in relief.

Kids these days.

'Claire.' Eadin whimpers again and I just let him be.

"She's human.." I utter in midair, "how?"

-.-.-

"Werewolves?" I raise an eyebrow as Ema keeps on ranting and ranting on how vicious werewolves are, "seriously, eat your lunch. It's getting cold."

"Werewolves are like that!" Ema bites the tip of her juice box straw like she is really irritated at some point, "believe me."

"I don't know if the supernatural exists." I just laugh and Ema just looks at me like I was somewhat crazy, "what?"

"I think you don't know." Ema sighs and puts down her juice box, "you're human so.. It doesn't matter."

She slowly stands up and grabs her bag. I followed and looked at her thinking what is wrong with her.

"Hey! Ema!"

I am now catching up to her as we are speed-walking down the eerie hallways. It is unusual for her to act like this. Sure we just met yesterday but it felt like I have also known her since forever.

"Ema!" I call out to her. I can't seem to level my pace with her. Why is she so darn fast?

She stops on her tracks and instantly turns around to face me.

"Claire.." Her face holds sincerity and just, "you're the ever first friend I got.. You are special to me.. But somehow.. I am not what you think I am."

"W-what?" I seemed frazzled at the moment, "what are you talking about?"

"I want you to know that.." She bites her lips as if refusing to speak.

"Ema! What is it?!"

"I am a vampire."
