CLARA’S POV

I sighed for what felt like the hundredth time in just a few minutes, rolling restlessly from one side of the bed to the other. My mind was all over the place, thoughts swirling with no end in sight.

“Come here,” Edward murmured beside me, reaching out to pull me into his arms.

I must have disturbed his sleep with my constant sighing. Weak and exhausted from overthinking, I let him hold me, exhaling slowly as his hand moved to my hair, stroking it gently.

For a while, we stayed like that, him running his fingers through my hair, me silently finding comfort in the rhythm. Then, after a moment, he cleared his throat, his hand shifting to smooth my brow.

“You’ve been sighing all night, Clara,” he murmured, his voice hoarse with sleep. “I haven’t been able to rest because of it.”

He turned me to face him, the dim glow in the room showing the concern in his eyes. “You know I can’t sleep when you’re troubled. Talk to me. What’s wrong?”

I listened to the steady be

    EDWARD’S POV The car rolled to a stop in front of the courthouse. As we stepped out, I pulled Clara close, keeping her shielded against the growing frenzy outside. Hundreds of reporters swarmed the entrances, cameras flashing. Onlookers bowed in respect as we pushed through the path made for us. “Alpha Edward!” Voices called out, desperate for my attention. I gave a curt nod to them, tightening my grip on Clara to keep her from being swallowed by the crowd. The guards at the entrance swung the doors open as we approached. I led Clara inside, our lawyer following closely behind. We took our seats at the front of the courtroom. I signaled to my lawyer, my voice kept low. “Any updates from Nathaniel’s legal team?” I asked, scanning the room for him. “None, Alpha,” he replied, shaking his head. Then, he added, “But you have nothing to worry about. This case will be over sooner than you think. Alpha Bennett will surely be convicted.” I gave a firm nod and turned away, reac

    CLARA’S POV As soon as we stepped into Edward’s study and the door shut behind us, he lashed out, kicking the table with enough force to send it crashing across the room. I flinched, instinctively stepping back. My wide eyes took in his red face, the veins bulging along his neck. I had never seen him this angry before. Nate had done this. He had pushed Edward to the edge. Swallowing hard, I took slow steps toward him. He dragged a hand down his face, cursing under his breath, his eyes bloodshot. “Edward,” I called softly, my heart hammering. He didn’t respond, and turned his back to me, shoulders rising and falling. Carefully, I closed the distance between us and wrapped my arms around him, pressing my cheek against his back. He went still, the only sound in the room being his labored breathing. “It’s okay,” I said, my eyes slipping shut. I could feel his pain, the sting of being deceived, and humiliated in court because I shared it with him. Nate had outplayed us,

    EDWARD’S POV I paced the hallway, fear coiling in my gut, my fingers shaking in panic. My eyes flicked toward the closed door, waiting and hoping for it to open. For the doctor or better yet, Clara. From the moment I found her in the bathroom, her face pale and hands around her stomach, I knew something was wrong. She hadn’t tried to hide it either, asking for the doctor immediately. We both suspected the same thing, though neither of us dared to voice it, afraid to get our hopes dashed. That had been over half an hour ago. Now, the doctor was inside, running the test, while I was left out here, my thoughts threatening to explode inside me. My heart pounded against my ribs, my hands clenched and unclenched at my sides. Every glance at my wristwatch only deepened my frustration. How long could it possibly take? I had imagined this moment before, countless times, but now that it was real, I was unprepared. I didn’t expect to feel this worried, my entire body thrumming with te

    CLARA’S POV I watched as several maids entered the garden, carrying bags of gifts. “Oh, my,” I exclaimed, clapping a hand over my mouth as I picked up one of the gifts, examining it with joy. Edward sat across from me in the pavilion, watching intently as I admired the gifts, his smile mirroring my own. “I hope you like them,” he said. I glanced up, nodding eagerly. “I love them, Edward. Thank you.” I couldn’t believe he had gone all out, showering me with all kinds of gifts just to celebrate my pregnancy. I picked up another box from the pile in front of me and unwrapped it, my eyes widening at the sight of the most beautiful veil I’d ever seen. The silk tulle gleamed in the sunlight and I was sure it must have cost a fortune. Clutching it to my chest, I raised my head to meet Edward’s gaze, a wide smile spreading across my face. “Oh, Edward,” I gushed, shaking my head. “This is truly beautiful. Thank you so much.” He waved a hand dismissively, a smile tugg

    EDWARD’S POV “People are reacting to the court case involving Nathaniel Bennett,” Jaxon said, stealing a glance at me over the papers in my hands. I sighed and sat up, tossing the documents onto the desk. No matter how hard I tried to steer clear of anything concerning Nathaniel, no matter the promises I made to myself to stay out of his mess, somehow, his name kept surfacing, circling back to me like a curse I couldn’t shake. It was exhausting. Groaning, I shut my eyes, a dull headache already starting to press at my temples. “What exactly are they saying?” I asked, looking up. “Is it serious enough that I should care?” He hesitated, clearing his throat, and I gave him a sharp look, silently urging him to get on with it. “Well?” I pressed. Jaxon shifted on his feet, clearly uneasy. “Some people… they’re blaming you for Serena Carter’s death.” My brows lifted, the muscles in my face hardening. “Blaming me?” I asked, my irritation rising. “And why the hell would the

    EDWARD’S POV I felt agitation course through my veins as I paced about the hallway restlessly, keeping my eyes on the door and watching as nurses trooped in and out of the medical wing. I heard a sniffling sound just close to the doors, and I paused, listening closely. “Luna Clara, please get well soon.” It was Lydia’s voice, and it sounded like she was crying. “We have so much to do!” she cried, hiccuping in between. “That’s enough, Lydia,” Jaxon’s voice rang almost immediately. “Luna Clara is going to be okay. You’re crying a river like she’s dead.” “I’m just worried about her!” she whined, the tears still in her voice. “It’s not like you know a thing about being pregnant.” “Well, do you?” he returned, and that was when her crying got louder. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against the wall, trying to shut out their voices. But I was just numb all over, the new development with Clara weakening me to my bones. I was feeling different emotions all at once. A

He nodded, lifting his own glass. “Worked like a charm, just as you envisioned.” “You’re brilliant, my love,” Isla chimed in from the corner of the office. “Everyone’s talking about it across the territory. No one else could’ve pulled that off.” I rose to my feet, exhaling deeply as I ran a hand over my already slicked-back hair. “What can I say?” I said with a scoff. “Everything I’ve been working toward was achieved in a single move. It was so easy to get it done too.” I turned. “You’ve heard what they’re saying about Edward, right?” I asked, glancing down at my lawyer. He nodded. “People are talking about how he’s abusing his power, how his jealousy is driving him crazy. And your ex-wife? They finally see how bitter she really is.

    CLARA’S POV “Congratulations, Luna Clara,” Luna Patricia said, towering over me with a wide smile on her face. “Thank you,” I replied, smiling back as I reached up to take the gift she offered. I was still very sick, my head pounding. I shouldn’t have been out of bed yet, but this was something I had to do before the upcoming banquet, which was only a few days away. Edward had wanted to cancel everything, but I refused. I didn’t want anyone to question his place as Alpha or damage his reputation just because of a little gift rite that every Luna has successfully done. As Luna Patricia stepped away, another woman walked up, her face tight with a dry smile. “Congratulations, Luna,” she said, handing me a wrapped box. “Thank you,” I said again, rising slowly to take the gift. But the moment her eyes dropped to my stomach, her forced smile vanished. I accepted the gift without saying anything, pretending not to notice her reaction. Even during a celebration, there were

    Nate’s POV “Henry Sterling, cousin to Edward Sterling, the Alpha of the territory, has just been arrested as the culprit behind the kidnap of Luna Clara, and the sabotaging events that had taken place these past few weeks.” I stared at the T.V screen, rage and agitation coursing through me, my eyes burning. “This happened earlier today,” the broadcaster continued, “after the culprit had moved into the estate and harassed the Luna, threatening to kill—“ I switched off the television, not wanting to hear any more of that. I let out a huge sigh, tapping my feet against the floor. What the hell was going on? I mean, generally, and with me… I couldn’t deny that I was scared, really scared, especially after this news I’d just seen. How come things kept going well for Edward and Clara? They had somehow discovered the person behind her kidnap, and I was scared now that they might catch up to me soon enough. My mind was not at ease, at all. Henry Sterling…so it had been h

    Clara’s POV Memories of those times flashed before my eyes. Memories of being tortured and tormented by a lunatic I couldn’t see his face. Memories of almost losing my baby… My blood ran cold, congealing and making me numb right to my toes, as I stared at the bite mark on his hand, my heart pounding in my ears. So, it was Henry? It had to be him… because what other explanation could there be for the bite mark on his hand I was currently staring at? I remembered biting my abductor that day, as he’d tried to choke me in that forest, when I’d attempted escaping.. I’d told Edward I could recognize my abductor’s scent if I ever came across him, yet, here I sat, facing him now, and I’d failed to pick the scent. It was the bite mark that had given him away instead. Slowly, I lifted my eyes from his hand to his face, staring into his eyes that now seemed very familiar. How had I missed those cold, dark eyes? The agitation that had coursed through my veins each time I laid my

    CLARA’S POV “Hi.” A small woman with freckles and round glasses perched on her nose walked up to me, a polite smile on her face and her hand outstretched. Before she could get too close, two guards stepped in, blocking her path. They squared their shoulders, clearly on alert. I studied her for a moment. She wore a white short-sleeved shirt with a stiff tie and held a black bag tightly in one hand. I raised a brow, curious. Who was she? She noticed and swallowed nervously, adjusting her glasses. “I—I’m Samantha,” she said, voice a little shaky. “Samantha Winters. The journalist.” Ah. She swallowed again but lifted her chin. “It’s truly an honor to work with you, Luna. Thank you for the opportunity.” I kept my eyes on her and gave a small nod. “Yeah, so…” It was true—I asked Lydia to find a journalist to cover the company launch and help spread our goal to every part of the pack. I motioned to the guards to let her through. They stepped back reluctantly. Her smil

    CLARA’S POV I leaned back in the hammock, eyes fixed on the clear sky, gently rubbing my stomach. I used to wonder how women could carry life inside them and still manage to do so much. But now, I understood. Ever since I felt my wolf, since the night Edward marked me, I’d felt like a completely different person. Healthier. Stronger. More alive. “Here are the documents you asked for, Luna Clara,” Lydia’s voice broke into my thoughts. I looked up and saw her standing beside me, holding out a few papers. “Everything about the company launch is in here,” she added as I took them from her hand. “I’m really glad we’re moving forward with the plans, Luna,” she said, her grin wide and excited. I forced a small smile, nodding as my fingers brushed over the papers. But inside, I felt a sense of unease. No matter how far I tried to move forward, the fear still clung to me. Maybe it was just paranoia. Maybe not. I hated the way my chest tightened every time the memories c

    Nate’s POV Getting a bit suffocated inside the car, despite the blasting cold air-conditioner, I pressed the button in the arm of the door, the window rolling downwards. I inhaled sharply as the wind hit me in the face, natural and soothing. More like it… The car radio static cackled then, a female voice drifting through. “…Luna of the territory has been found and rescued, following her kidnap that happened a few days ago.” “Turn that up,” I quickly instructed, and the driver leaned forward and turned up the volume of the radio. “She was found in good shape and health, despite a few injuries,” the broadcaster continued, “and the perpetrator is still at large, no traces of them found.” I scoffed, shaking my head. So she’d survived, after all. That was quite disheartening, because for a while, I’d really thought this would be her end. But somehow, she keeps surviving. My jaw ticking, I lifted my fingers and pushed them through my hair, a bit unsettled by this informa

    CLARA’S POV A rush of adrenaline coursed through my veins. My eyes flew open, and I could feel something stirring deep inside me: a soft, steady thumping. Was that… my wolf? Lying against Edward’s chest, I lifted my fingers to my neck, gently caressing the bite mark. Then my hand drifted to my chest, pausing over my heart, feeling the pulse beneath my skin. Yes… that was truly my wolf. “Clara…” A faint, almost whispering voice called to me, and I jolted upright, clutching my chest as my heart hammered wildly. Was that her voice? Edward stirred beside me, his gaze sharp and cautious as he watched me. “Is everything okay?” I nodded shakily, rubbing my palms against my chest to steady myself. “Yeah, I… I think I just heard my wolf’s voice.” My words were breathless, disbelief still clinging to them. Edward’s eyes widened, and he quickly propped himself up. His hand gently covered mine, his touch warm and comforting. “And I think I can feel her too,” I added, my voice barely

    CLARA’S POV I woke up with a pounding headache, like a hammer was slamming between my eyes. I sighed, not in the best mood. I wasn’t just sick—I was sad, angry, and overwhelmed. Everything with Edward had taken its toll on me. We hadn’t really spoken since the outburst, when I told him I’d be leaving once the contract was over, and after I gave him his baby. It wasn’t like he hadn’t been trying to talk to me. The problem was me. I didn’t give him a chance. The night before, he’d come into my room, trying to get me to open up, but I ignored him. Every time he touched me, I shoved his hands away. Eventually, he’d left, his shoulders slumped in defeat. Sighing, I forced myself up and shuffled toward the bathroom. Just as I was about to push the door open, a knock came at the main door. “Who is it?” “We’re here with breakfast, Luna,” a female voice called. I rolled my eyes. Breakfast already? I just woke up. “Come in!” I called out, slamming the bathroom door shut an

    Clara’s POV Henry and I stared at each other for what felt like forever, my eyes burning with anger, his full of something else. Maybe surprise that I wanted to see him. Finally, he sighed, leaning back with a shrug. “Fine. I’ll tell you, since you’re so desperate to know.” I couldn’t help the small sigh of satisfaction that slipped from me as I leaned back in my seat, folding my arms. “I’m all ears.” “But first,” he said, smiling, “Why are you so covered up?” He raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. “Let me guess, you don’t want to be seen with me?” I shot him a glare, my lips pressing into a tight line. “That’s not important right now.” He shrugged again, biting back a laugh. He signaled the waitress, ordering an iced coffee and a bagel, then leaned forward, clasping his hands on the desk. I watched him, trying to decide if I could trust anything that came from the mouth of someone so… off. There was something unsettling about him with each

    Clara’s POV I tossed and turned on my bed, my mind heavy with thoughts and frustration. I’d been thinking for nearly an hour, and I still couldn’t understand why Edward would do this to me. Why had he kept something so vital from me? If he’d told me we were mates long ago, when he first found out, I wouldn’t have had to suffer so much. Maybe I could’ve avoided the tragic turn my life took after marrying Nate. If only Edward had been honest with me… Sighing, I couldn’t shake the thoughts that plagued my mind. I threw the sheets off my body in a fit of frustration and stormed toward the door. As I unlocked it, I found Lydia standing there, looking worn and concerned. “Luna Clara,” she said softly, her hands clasped in front of her. “Are you still angry?” Ignoring her question, I cut to the chase. “I need you to do something for me.” She blinked, the hurt in her eyes fleeting before she nodded. “What is it, Luna?” “You saw the man with Edward, right?” Her brows fu
