Chapter 130 The Alpha

"Claire!!" I called louder. I looked like a psychopath sacrificing myself for no probability... "Oh please Claire... come back to me. I'm sorry... I love you so much." I said more to myself feeling her presence.

Suddenly, I heard a growl from behind. I immediately turn my back to see where it was coming but rather I saw two golden eyes looking at me from the dark.

My heart started beating rapidly, what the heck is that!?

It growls once again and started walking towards me, I took a step back taking my gun, and pointed it at the creature but then another growl comes from behind. I immediately turned back to see another one coming towards me, I pointed my gun at them one at a time.

If anyone tries to attack me, I'll shoot it.

Oh shit! I heard another growl from both sides, how many of them were here!? Too many to count! Fucking shi*, I'm surrounded!

They walked closer to me wearing predator looks, ready to eat their prey.

Holy shit! These wolves are fucking giant!

If they attack me at once then I'll be eaten by these wolves. I tried to look somewhere for escape but I was already surrounded!

I have to escape or be their feast, just then I found a small space, I could get there and run from here. I took a deep breath and...

*prrrrit!* what was that??

I freeze the moment I heard a whistling sound from somewhere, even the wolves stopped on their track.

In front, two big wolves made a way, and there I saw a silhouette of a person but because of the dark, all I can see is a shadow. What is that person doing here in the forest in the middle of the night???

It walked closer towards me, I can't do anything but stand on my feet and watch the person getting closer until it shines by the moon rays. The moment I recognized who it was, my heart jumps in joy and merry... from then on I know my heart turns back to life.

My angel... "Claire." I almost whispered, she stares blankly at me.

After a while, she cupped the fur of a Black wolf who then wagged his tail. "Go back to the pack, they need you there." She said, her voice... it was... soft. Oh, how I wanted to hear it every day, every second of my life.

The black wolf obeyed as it goes somewhere else and the rest of the wolves followed him.

"Why are you here?" She asked, this time her voice was cold.

"I was looking for you." I stared deeply into her eyes but she looked away and turned her back walking to I don't know where. I followed her.

Claire never failed to amuse me, she always comes every time I was in danger, how did she get great timing all the time?

"Why would you look for me?" After a while, she asked, her voice was totally blank.

I walked faster and hold her hands stopping her from walking.

"I already told you, I love you, Claire..." I said not leaving my eyes off of her. "I'm sorry if I was an idiot before, but I will never let you go again."

I'll never forget the sudden changes in her eyes, it glimmers but immediately disappeared. "I also told you, I don't love you." She shoved my hand and continued walking once again "Go back now Xenon."

"No, I don't care if you don't love me, Claire, I can wait. I'll wait, no matter long it will take." I insisted, determined to have her back.

She stopped and face me "I am a monster Xenon, I live in Dark World but you... you already have your revenge, you should live the way you wanted. I do not belong... to your world."

"I don't care! If I have to go into your world then I will. I can't live without you, Claire... I just can't. This past few week feels like hell!" I walked closer towards her and hold her hand. "Claire please, you are my oxygen, don't take it away from me... I'll die."

Her eyes turned softer "You'll die with me Xenon. I am the Heiress and my father is a devil, he will... kill you."

"Is- is that the reason... you disappeared?" I asked and she looked away.

So, that was it. I was so pathetic not to see that!

"Tell me the truth Claire... do you... love me?" I asked with full of hope.

She shook her head "He will hunt you Xenon, please... stay away from me. My father is a devil, I don't wanna get you too involve... my life has already been set by my father."

She's avoiding my question.

"I don't care about your father's will! I'd rather die in your father's hands than to let my heart be buried alive, that's hella hurts!" I exclaimed in anger but when I saw her eyes in sadness, my heart sank as it turned soft "I'm sorry. Claire... please, set yourself free. If I'll go right now, my heart will die. You own it, please give me a chance." My voice was barely a whisper, my heart was crying as it beats rapidly needing her.

"Oh Xenon, please... I can handle watching you from afar, but I can't lose you. A monster lies inside me... being with me is losing you." She pleads with her eyes in sadness.

I can't handle watching her in sadness knowing that I cause it but wait- what does she mean? "What do you m-mean?" I stuttered.

She took my hand away, looking down "I don't have full control over my body Xenon. Every time my eye changes, my behavior changes as well and sometimes I lose control and kill anyone on sight. I did not kill Ryan... that day, it was her... the monster inside me."

The moment she said those words, memories from before came flashing into my head. At the clinic, I saw the silencer... her eyes were red with a cold heart that kills without conscience. It was Claire, but it wasn't Claire... the aura was darker. Now I know.
