Her Second Chance novel Chapter 4

OCTOBER 15, 2013.

( CLAUDE'S POV )

My eyes opened slowly and focused on the ceiling.

Was I in the other world? Where was I?

Hell perhaps? I chuckled at my thought.

I frowned. Did I just chuckle freely? My eyes opened fully, and I hurriedly sat up on my bed.

My puzzlement increased. I was able to sit up too? I turned my hands around.

Nothing... No pain.

A thought crossed my mind, and I looked around. I wasn't in the hospital... And I was on the bed?

Wait... I looked around the room again, and almost screamed in fright.

I was in my room. My girly room. But it was slightly different from my current room. It looked just like my room from six years back, when I was eighteen...

What happened? Wasn't I supposed to be dead?

Was I reborn? No, did I reincarnate?

I heard a voice chuckle,

'The right term to use there would be, going back in time. We are back in time.' The voice said startling me.

I looked around, there was no one else in the room, aside me. So, where could the voice have come from?

"Who are you?" I asked calmly.

'I'm Ria, your wolf.' The voice replied.

I frowned at her words. I had a wolf?

'That's a ridiculous question, Claude. What werewolf doesn't have a wolf?' She retorted.

"I'm sorry, it's just that..." I tried explaining.

Everything was so foreign. I have never been able to summon my wolf in the past. As such, I couldn't join other wolves when they were racing and all that.

'I understand. I'm sorry for taking so long to awaken. You have gone through a lot.' Ria apologized.

I was amused and didn't hide it.

'Would you have circumvented everything if you were here?" I asked sarcastically.

Ria sensed the sarcasm in my tone, and chuckled.

'I would have done nothing. But, I would have help you avoided a lot of things. Well it's not late, is it?' Ria explained.

"So, the Moon goddess gave me this opportunity? If I don't make good use of it, wouldn't I be letting her efforts go to waste?" I smirked.

Just then the door opened, and Dianne came into the room. She looked younger, and less beautiful.

Six years from now, she would blossom than this.

I looked at her face, and sneered inwardly. What a white lotus she was...

To think that she hated me, and yet hid it well...

"Claude, you are awake?" She smiled as she stood respectfully beside my bed.

"I've told you... Stop being formal with me, sit beside me, Dianne." I felt like puking as I uttered the words.

Since she could act so well, it would be bad if I didn't know how to.

"It's fine. I'm not allowed to, I'm I?" She replied waving her hands.

Listening to her words, I realized that she had always hinted at me, but I always failed to notice. I never thought much into it...
