1st February 11: 32 Groaning I opened my eyes. My head feels like shit. I feel sore all over my body. It's like I've been sleeping for ages. I opened my eyes to find myself in a king-sized bed and I was covered in tubes and plucks. My nostril holds a breathing tube. Alastair was sitting in a chair at the edge of my bed. He was asleep. There were dark circles around his eyes. The wolf locket dangling from his neck. Similar to mine. Images after images started to peek into my brain. I remember everything, going to the party, meeting Letia and Rhett and many more friends. Saving the pup and finding the drunk men. Finally, I remember the most important part. Alastair changes into a beast in mid-air. The very beast who attacked Gabriel. I gasped trying to sit up only to fall back with a thud. With those memories came an unbearable headache. It caused Alastair to woke up. "Clara, you're finally awake," He said. He tried to come near me, but I flinched. "Don't come near me!" I yelled
1st February 2:32 I've processed everything in my mind. Living with a pack of Werewolves, Check. Having a mate for life and death. Check. Having no say in this matter. Check. Mate is the King of all wolves. Double check. When Melissa came to my room, I realized that maybe she too is a werewolf. I asked her the same thing. She nodded "I am, but I m the weakest of the pack," said she. "That day the mark on your neck, it was not a dog's claw right?" I asked her She shakes her head "That was Madam Seline's claw mark, she told me to bring her tea and I got late" Seline? She's here, come to think of it, I actually didn't meet Seline. And why would she claw this poor woman for a tiny mistake? I hadn't known I'd asked the last question out loud until Melissa answered "She's not bad. She is just going rogue. It's been hard for her to stay human that's why she is mostly out in the forest or in her room" I nod in understanding and changed the subject. " So what is it means to be mated?
1st February 4:13 I inhaled deeply before walking in the direction of Alastair. The woman arched her brow. I ignored her and went straight for Alastair's lap. I sat on him, wounding my arms around his neck, I kissed his cheek. The woman's eyes widened. Yes! Take that bitch! "Baby, what took you so late to come home? I was waiting for you" I asked in a fake enthusiasm. I saw Alastair trying to hide his laugh in my tummy, I even don't know why I flirted with him to make a jealous mess of this woman. But what's done is done. Alastair cleared his throat wrapping an arm around me and pulling me plush against his chest. I saw the moment that caught Gabriel's attention, did I imagine or did he really grit his jaw? I didn't get the time to observe more as a kiss on my neck feathered. "I'm sorry baby I was out for work and didn't get the chance to see the time," Alastair said. Playing along with me. I mentally rolled my eyes. I was just acting, but he doesn't feel like acting. Damn if it
1st February 8:12 I was beyond words, his anger did nothing to scare me, in fact, it only fuelled my pleasure. I didn't understand what I'm doing. But I did what I did. Palming his neck, I kissed his cheek. "I don't know what I'll do when this deal is over, But" His eyes bored into mine, already back to normal. I closed my eyes, leaning forward. I feathered his lips with mine. He didn't move at first. Then his hand grabbed my hips. Pulling me forward, deepening the kiss. When my eyes opened, I was near the door. He was still standing near his desk. His knuckles were white from grabbing the desk so hard. He was heaving. "Go away Clara, I won't be able to stop if I started again, " He said. Not looking into my eyes. I said I wanted to explore every moment of our deal. Then do I want him to stop? My answer was clear "Alastair!" I called him. He looked up at me. I turned my back to him, picking up my hair from my back, I popped open the top button of my dress back. I heard a grow
4 years back. Clara (POV) I'm not one of those girls who go to parties, dance with random people, get drunk, and flirt with every passing man. But If you have a crazy hippy best friend, then your limits should start from where the limits of the worst-case scenario end. My best friend, Morgan, was determined that tonight I need to get some steam off. So that's how I end up in a bar dancing my ass off with her. I'm already half-drunk while Morgan didn't even touch her drink. She said today is all about me having fun and getting my V-card punched. I'm still just twenty-two but She thinks if not now then I'll become a nun hehe. While I had needed a full of eight drinks straight for dancing like a crazy hooker, Morgan didn't need anything because she is simply crazy on her own and I love her like that only. "Lara!!! Let's take a break!!" Morgan yelled over the music for me to hear her. it was almost an hour since we were dancing like crazy girls. everyone was looking at us once in a wh
Present. Alastair was quite listening carefully but no sign of judgment there. I expected jealousy or anger or his signature growling. But nothing. "Say something, your being quiet is more dangerous than your growling," I said. " I don't want to feel jealous because four years back I wasn't there or you wouldn't have looked up to another man," He said matter of factly. I smiled. " I see you're trying to let go of it, impressive," I said. He shrugged rolling his eyes. "Are you going to tell more or what? " asked. I narrowed my eyes but continue anyway *** 4 years back My eyes shoot open as the sunlight grazes my face. I blinked as my surroundings came into my view. This is not my room. This is not even Morgan's room. Hell, this is not my house. I tried to move but something hard on my abdomen stopped me. That's when I noticed the handsome stranger sleeping peacefully beside me. He is breathtakingly handsome in his sleep even. Memories of last night filled my head. I had slam
2nd February 00:12 Alastair was walking at a slow pace. I think he is afraid of showing his beast to me. Huh, the big bad king is afraid of my rejection. I just want to know if I really can take this chance. For it, I have to see every angle of this situation. When we got to the lobby. We found many people sitting there. Some of them I recognize. Gabe, Leo, Mellisa, and then there was a pair of twins, a blonde girl and our Buttler Mr, Sherry. They all went quiet when they saw Alastair coming. Causing him to roll his eyes. "Stop looking at me like that, I don't chew you guys for having fun. Ruining my image in front of my mate stating me dangerous you all" He complained. All of them fall in a fit. Ahh, they were actually acting afraid when they were clearly not. "How come the couple of the year is here at this time of night?" The blonde asked. Melissa rolled her eyes at her " Don't tease them, Rose. Or I will write it due on your account when you get mated" We laughed at that.
2nd February 02:12 We were speeding through the forest. I could hear the leaves cracking sounds beneath many paws. The only indication that the pack was following. I don't think it's there only pack runners. I'm sure they have more members. I'm just yet to meet them. We were running like that for hours. Eventually when the sound of many paws steps following us faded away. The wolf below me paused in his run. I was breathing heavily, flipping so I fall on the ground on my back. I smiled up at the wolf who was now towering over me. "It was amazing!" I exclaimed. The wolf started to shift back within seconds a very naked Alastair fell over me. Grinning ear to ear, "Glad to know my charm doesn't fall over your head. I was starting to lose hope" he faked sadness. I slapped his hand. "Shut up, will you? " I said. Folding my arms on my chest. He flipped so he was laying beside me. We both looked up at the beautiful dark sky, the stars covering the whole sky. Part of trees are also visib
Alastair's PovThe moonlit night embraced our pack territory, casting an ethereal glow over the clearing. My heart swelled with pride as I watched my pack members transform into their majestic wolf forms, embracing their werewolf heritage under the luminous moon.Clara, the woman who had captured my heart, stood at the edge of the clearing, observing the transformation with a mixture of awe and curiosity. Her presence always sparked a whirlwind of emotions within me, from the protectiveness of an alpha to the tender affection of a man in love.The pack's howls filled the air, creating a haunting melody that resonated with the ancient spirits of our ancestors. I found myself drawn to Clara, unable to resist the magnetic pull she had on my soul.As the moon reached its zenith, the pack settled around the crackling bonfire. Suspenseful and playful stories echoed through the clearing, each member relishing the camaraderie that bound us together.Clara sat close to me, her eyes reflecting
[Clara's pov]The moon's glow bathed the pack territory in a silvery embrace, casting a magical aura that left us all in awe. We gathered near the forest's edge, immersed in the ethereal beauty of the full moon—a night when the pack's werewolf heritage surged with power.Alastair stood at the center, his presence both commanding and protective. When his eyes met mine, a rush of love swept through me. He was my alpha, my protector, and he had captured my heart from the day we met."Tonight, we embrace the gift of our heritage," Alastair spoke, his voice filled with pride and tradition. "Let the moon's light flow through you, my pack. Feel the strength coursing in your veins."As the moon reached its peak, the pack members began to shift, transforming into their majestic wolf forms. I watched in wonder as each wolf embraced their primal instincts, moving gracefully under the moon's watchful gaze.I chose to stay in my human form, wanting to cherish this moment and witness the magic unfo
[Clara's Pov] The sun gently caressed my skin as I lovingly prepared for the pack's barbecue. I took my time, savoring each moment, and carefully placed the meat on the grill. The aroma of the barbecue sauce filled the air, making my mouth water with anticipation. Alastair, my strong and caring alpha, was busy arranging tables and chairs, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for the pack's bonding time. As the pack members started to arrive, I noticed the excitement in their eyes, eager to indulge in the delicious food and enjoy precious moments together. Their laughter and chatter created a sense of camaraderie and joy that warmed my heart. I felt grateful for the pack that had embraced me as one of their own, despite my human origins. They had become my family, and this bond brought me a deep sense of belonging. Alastair came up behind me, his strong arms wrapping around my waist, and he planted a gentle kiss on my cheek. His affectionate gesture made my heart flutter with lov
Clara POV"Fuck!" I whispered, looking at Alastair in horror. He was not shocked for a second even, if anything he looked amused as he sneakily withdrew his manhood from inside me.Yahya was still standing there looking at us in confusion.It's a good thing that I had asked Alastair to pull a blanket over us so my nakedness is hidden from Yahya."Lara!" He called me with a finger in his mouth. He looks adorable, today the little guy wore a red Tom and Jerry t-shirt and yellow cargo pants. I haven't met him for the last two months. He was living in the pack's house with his 'friend' and was busy in kindergarten's work. If i was not butt-naked, I would have ran to give my little brother a tight hug. "Y-YEAH?" I said in a high pitched voice.At this point, Alastair was barely holding his grin. He slid his pants on and was covered to get out of the blanket."Why is he standing over you? Is he trying to kill you?" Yahya asked.Alastair hopped out of the bed, being careful to not show my
Clara's POVAlastair took me to our room, I was laughing all the way, Feeling like a teenage girl giggling on her first date."My baby sounds really sexy laughing like that, What I wouldn't give to hear you laugh every day like this," Alastair said as he opened the door of our room.Everyone might have gone to work because it's afternoon and I can't hear anyone out there.A perfect timing to form twins, Alastair's words not mine, I thought.He gently laid me on our bed, I could feel the sweat on my forehead. It takes a lot of effort to move with the balloon of a stomach I have formed. It is tiring.I groaned as soon as my back hit the bed, "Ahh!" Alastair's face merged in a frown, "What happened darling?" He asked, still hovering over me with lust and concern clearly written on his face.I felt the blush crept on my cheeks, "It is just the back pain, I can feel it deep in my bones that the baby is much chubbier than me because my body is getting weaker caring for him around."I told
(Clara's POV)(A MONTH LATER)I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I groaned and reached for it, hoping it was Alastair. He was the only one who could make me smile in the morning.I looked at the screen and saw his name. I smiled and answered."Hey, babe," I said."Hey, love. How are you feeling today?" he asked.I rubbed my belly and felt a kick. I smiled again."I'm feeling good. The baby is active today.""That's great. I can't wait to see you and our pup."I blushed and said, "Me too. When are you coming over?""Soon. I just have to finish some work at the pack house. I'll be there in an hour.""Okay. I'll see you then.""I love you, Lara.""I love you too, Alastair."I hung up and got out of bed. I stretched and headed to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed my face, then stepped on the scale. I gasped at the number. I had gained another two kilos since last week. I frowned and poked at my round stomach. I felt like a balloon.I was five months pregnant with Alasta
(Clara POV)" Are you ready, Clara?" I was just applying the lip gloss when Alastair came into the room. We are going to the hospital to check on the baby." Yes, I am ready." I stood up from the chair I was sitting in and walked towards Alastair so I can hug him before we go. I am loving the way my hormones are changing and making me feel nowadays. I was mostly peaceful and lovely throughout the day." Let's go then, don't want to make the doctor wait for us." He held my hand and guided me towards the car and in no time we are moving towards the hospital. Hospitals always make me nauseous but this time is different as we are going to meet our baby and check if he/she is doing fine. Alastair and I held hands till we enter the doctor's office. I am somewhat nervous as I don't want to hear if something is wrong with the baby. I just have to hope that everything is okay with the baby." Good morning, Alpha and Luna!" The doctor greeted us and guided us to the table where she will star
(Clara's POV)A month later, I woke up feeling uncomfortable because I was leaking of urine. It happens during pregnancy but it was the first time I faced something so embarrassing.I had faced so many things now that I was entering the fourth month of pregnancy and started crying.At that exact moment, Alastair entered the room, "Babe, what happened! Why are you crying" He asked with a frown, coming closer to me. He enveloped me in his arms."I don't know Alastair! I feel so ashamed. I woke up and felt the wetness between my legs I don't know how to say...It was urine. I'm so embarrassed!" I cried those words hiding my face.He looked at the situation before pecking my forehead.He said it was okay and he helped me change, while I was changing he took my clothes and the bedsheet that had stain in it and goes to do the laundry. He came back with a smile and kissed me gently.“Hey, don’t be sad. It’s normal. You’re doing great, my love. You’re carrying our baby and I’m so proud of you.
Clara's POV)I felt a wave of relief wash over me as I stepped out of the hospital, holding Alastair's hand. He had been by my side ever since. He had been so worried and protective of me and our baby. He had been the perfect mate.He kissed me softly and helped me into his car. " Be careful!" He warned me.He drove us to the pack house, where we were greeted by our pack members. They all looked happy and relieved to see us. They hugged us. They had already prepared a room for us, with a crib, a changing table, and a rocking chair. They also bought us some clothes, toys, and books for our baby."Thank you so much, everyone. You're all so kind and generous." I said, feeling overwhelmed by their love and support."It's our pleasure, Luna. We're so happy for you and Alpha. I am glad that your baby is safe, You're going to be great parents." Zora, our omega, said with a smile.She was like a mother to me. She had taken care of me ever since I joined the pack two months ago. She had helpe
