Clara: I'm not

Atlas: I have to make sure

Clara: I know

*She goes upstairs*

Elizabeth: What have you done to my best friend?

Paul: I haven't done anything

Elizabeth: You better be telling the truth

Paul: I am

*A couple days later right before the battle starts*

Rebecca: I was hoping Billy would know where to find you. I just wanted to understand why Clara did what she did

Paul: *While growling* You should talk to her

Rebecca: Wait... your wolf it's weaker than last time we met

Paul: And that's to say what... I was more than I am now?

Rebecca: Stop you know I love you and despite what she might say to the contrary Clara does too not three days ago she came to my house asking me for this

Paul: Is a ring with the Protector symbol supposed to mean something to me?

Rebecca: It would if she had given it to you the other night at dinner... when she planned to

Paul: Oh my god... then why break my heart?

Rebecca: I was hoping that you knew

Atlas: Talking about Clara?

Rebecca: Yes

Atlas: She is scared of her feelings

Rebecca: I'll let you two speak

*She leaves*

Paul: What do you mean?

Atlas: Before we met Elizabeth and Josephine all we had were each other and now she is suddenly having these very prominent feelings for someone else- you

Paul: But why did she disappear then?

Atlas: She doesn't know how to adjust to them and accept that she has others to help her

Paul: Do you know where she is?

Atlas: I'm not sure

Paul: Any ideas?

Atlas: You can always try our place

Paul: Okay

*When he gets to Atlas and Clara's house*

Clara: Ace is that you?

Paul: It's your imprint

Clara: I don't want to talk

Paul: We need to

Clara: You could've asked me why I broke your heart

Paul: Well you could've told me that you fell apart
