CLARA

A week had passed since that day in the hospital, and the weight of my father's death still hung heavily in the air. My mother had been discharged, but I could see the shadows of grief etched on her face. She had returned to the palace, a place that once felt like home but now more like a prison.

I decided to move in with her just to keep her company, but I wasn't so sure if it was a good idea. I didn't help much, to be honest, but she claimed it was nice to have me around after so long.

I would have preferred we stayed over at my palace, but that's where Dad killed himself. Which was why Roberto suggested I stay at hers instead.

I love that man so much and it hurts me that we haven't had our couple time yet. I miss him in every way.

As I walked through the vast hallways, the silence was deafening. The grand rooms felt so empty and foreign. K found my mother sitting in the parlor, staring out the window, lost in thought.

"Mom," I said softly, taking a seat beside her. "I have be

    CLARAAfter a few days of settling into my home, my mother finally agreed to spend the night. As we arrived at my place, I could see the apprehension in her eyes. I reassured her, giving her a gentle smile."Just relax, mom, you're safe here."Roberto was waiting for us in the living room, his presence immediately filling the space with warmth."Luna Alicia," He greeted as he moved closer to wrap her in an embrace. "It's good to see you again,""Thank you," She replied, her voice softening as she returned the hug. Lately, they became close and I was more than happy, Roberto eased each time she was around and this made it easier for them to relate.Once we settled in, I led my mother to the guest room that wasn't far from mine. "Make yourself at home. I'll be just down the hall, if you need anything, inform the guard right outside. I can also personally assign a maid to you,"She smiled as she took in the cozy decor. "It's alright Clara, I'll be fine. Thank you.""Okay." After ensuring

    CLARAThe morning light filtered through the grand Windows, Illuminating light. "Hmm," I mumbled under my breath as I tossed on the bed restlessly."Roberto?" I called out weakly as I tapped the space next to me and was shocked to find out that it was empty."I'm here," I heard his voice from afar. "Good morning." I felt the sudden pressure on the bed and then a gentle kiss on my forehead."Good morning," I yawned in response, stretching like a starfish. My eyes were still dimly shut due to the...oh, I began blushing as the events from last night flashed."You okay?" He chuckled."Yes," I nodded as I sat up. "Just happy,""Hm?" He arched a brow. "I wonder why,""Like you don't know why," I hissed and pushed him away. I was definitely not in for his teasing this early."What?" He laughed. "I'm just asking,""Whatever." I rolled my eyes and ran to the bathroom.'That was awesome!' Rae cheered, it's been long since I heard her this cheerful."Wow, so all you needed was one-"'Bah bah,' s

    CLARAAfter breakfast with Mom, we sat in the living room, watching movies together. I watched as different emotions played on her face for a few minutes."What? What's funny?" She sniffed."I always thought I was emotional, but damn, you're worse than me,""Shut up, it's a sad movie. Just thirty minutes in and yet it is this sad?" She said with a deep frown. "Maybe you should change it,""It has a happy ending, don't worry ma,""Even though, the lovers died. At this point, I don't think I can bear to watch anything heartbreaking,""Oh," I said with realization and frowned. "I'm sorry, my fault. Comedy then?""Sure."__________________________I waited for Roberto for two more hours, I tried calling but his line wasn't reachable."Did he say where he was headed?" I asked Landon, who shook his head."No, just said he had something important to do, that's all. Don't worry he's fine and he has Mateo,""I know....it's just. Everyone is here, waiting for us, I don't want to get started wit

    CLARAThe sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm golden hue over the clearing where we were preparing for my father's burial.The air was thick with sorrow, and I could feel the moment pressing down on me. My heart ached as I watched the men from our clan digging the grave, their faces somber and respectful.My father may have not been the best father or husband, but he was a good leader to some extent. I remembered how he trained most guards and handled his cases. It's no shock that they miss him.In a way I do too, I may have disliked him but he didn't have to meet his end this way, it's so unfortunate."Clara?" Roberto called softly, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "Are you sure you're okay?"He looked concerned, his brows furrowed. He had a strong presence, but at this moment, he felt like my anchor."I'm trying to be strong for Mom," I replied, glancing over at her. She stood a few feet away, her eyes fixed on the ground, lost in her thoughts. Soon, she would be the A

    CLARAThe next day.(Day of the burial and naming of Alicia the new Alpha)"Thank you so much for coming," I smiled at Landon and Storm who sat in the living, both of them had a grim expression on their faces."Clara!" Storm exclaimed as he stood up and wrapped his arms around me. "It's so good to see you!""Good morning, how are you?" I giggled softly as he ruffled my hair like a kid."I'm okay, you? How's it going?""Well," I shrugged. "Could have been worse, right?""I hope this comforts you," Landon said as he handed me a basket of yarn. "Sorry, I suck at gifts and I know this is too cringe.""Actually," I smiled widely as I took the basket from him. "Jokes on you, I love it,"He returned my smile and sighed in relief. "That's good, I was already getting embarrassed."The three of us talked for some time, I was the first to wake up. Roberto and my mother were still fast asleep, honestly, I couldn't blame them. Mother cried all night, while Roberto had a meeting with the Elders aga

    CLARAA few weeks later.The drive back home was extremely exhausting, I've lost count of how many times, I asked the driver if we were at home yet.I knew the way back home, I just missed it and I was excited.Yesterday, the workers from our palace returned in order to have the palace prepared for our return."Are we there yet?!" I groaned as I stomped my foot on the ground."Almost, my lady," the driver replied."Ah fuck this."A few minutes later, the driver pulled up in the driveway and I quickly cheered loudly running out of the car.I stepped into the grand Hall of the palace. "Holy fuck! It's good to be home!" The echoes of my dad's burial and my mother's crowning ceremony still resonate in my mind. The air was thick with the scent of fresh flowers that Olivia picked on my return back home.I glanced over at Roberto, who stood beside me, his eyes reflecting a mix of pride and exhaustion."Can you believe it is finally over??"

    CLARAAfter the stream hot session with Roberto, I tiptoed back to my room while he was fast asleep. I still needed to organize some stuff and lately... I've been on some serious heat.I'm afraid that if I wake up next to him, we may get down again- wait, I mentally slapped myself when I realized we didn't use protection.But wait- why am I worried? We are married, and besides, having a kid wouldn't hurt. Everything is finally over and it's safe now.As I entered my chambers, the bags rustled softly, I tiptoed and sat on my bed sighing deeply. I picked up the bags one by one laying everything out on my bed, admiring the array of colors and textures.The vibrant hues of the fabrics seemed to dance in the light, each piece whispering promises of beauty for Storm's special day.I called out for Olivia and the maids who followed me earlier, and immediately they all ran to my room."Let's start organizing then," I clapped my hands, motioning to them. Their faces glowing with excitement. "W

    CLARAA week later."It's Storm's wedding!" I jumped up from my bed feeling a sudden rush of energy.My alarm went off immediately after I got up, I ticked it off and dashed into the shower, humming and singing to myself, as I scrubbed my body.Lately, I've been using the same products Roberto used. God, I smell like him and it pleases me so much!After I was done bathing, I tied a towel around my chest and called for Olivia, who arrived within minutes with a tray of food and snacks in her hand."Good morning, my lady. Did you sleep well?""Oh yes, I did! And thanks so much for the food, kindly drop it there," I pointed at the desk opposite me as I sat on my bed, checking my face out with my small mirror."Does my skin look okay? I think I lookpale," I asked Olivia, who studied my face and shook her head."No, not pale at all,""Sure?""Yes ma'am.""Okay then, now please get me the dress. There isn't any time and you have to go prepare! Hope the gifts are well packaged, yeah?""Yes a

All grown up and handsome."I picked him up and caressed his chin while he tugged at my sleeve. "No, don't chew that," I scolded and yanked my sleeve away causing him to cry."Dear heavens, Olivia please take this child away from me."She chuckled and took Silver from me, who immediately stopped crying and started giggling. I scoffed as the both of them started cooing at each other."Might as well be his mother too."Olivia chuckled and sat in front of me. "Luna, he loves you and you know it.""He's stubborn.""He's like his mother," she whispered under her breath, but I heard her loud and clear."How DARE YOU?!" I playfully scolded her. We both sat there, she carried silver in her hands humming softly to him, while I knitted a cute baby cap for him.He was turning two very soon. I was so excited to finally celebrate his birthday!

    CLARAI woke up feeling a bit lightheaded, I looked around confused. Why was I in a hospital?I groaned as I placed my hand on my head, I felt something wrapped around it...a bandage?Wait..that's right.I was kidnapped and-What the fuck happened next?!!!I tried to move, but a sharp pain emitted and I collapsed back on my bed panting hard. I remember Cassandra hitting my hand and I hit my whole body with a tree, but what happened next?But more importantly, where's Roberto, Landon? Storm? Olivia? Mateo?!!!I groaned louder as I forced myself to get up, the hospital room was extremely large, large enough to be a whole chamber.I gently pushed the door open and I gasped when I saw Mateo standing outside. "Mateo!" I sighed in relief."Luna-" he was cut short when I wrapped my arms around him pulling me into a tight hug."Oh, sorry," I blushed and pulled away from him. "I'm sorry, I got excited and it's good to see you. Alive and well."He smiled and nodded. "It's great to see you too L

    CLARAI struggled against the ropes, my heart racing as I sucked in my breath. Cassandra and Alexander seemed to be deep into their conversation as both of them turned their backs on me.Suddenly, Cassandra went behind me, I could feel the ropes that tied my hands getting tighter."Cassandra, what are you doing?" I gasped, breaking through the surface.She leaned over, her lips bearing touching my ears. "Just making sure," She slid the glass I hid in between my palm. "You know, you aren't very smart."She waved the glass at my face before throwing it into the pool. "How foolish of you, you actually thought you could outsmart us and run away?""Let me go! You won’t get away with this!" I shouted at her."Such fire! But you're not in a position to make demands," She taunted, glancing back to Alexander, who was watching us with a blank expression on his face."I can't wait any longer. Let's proceed," Alexander spoke up, crossing his arms. "The longer we wait, the more unpredictable our l

    ROBERTOI sat in my office and glanced over at the wall clock opposite me. It's been an hour since I left Clara, but I just had this sudden urge to see her.I left my office and headed to her room. The guard who stood there moved and bowed as he sighted me. "Clara?" I knocked, but no one answered."Where's the Luna?" I asked the guard who stood outside her room."No Alpha, the Luna hasn't returned yet.""She hasn't? It's dark right now. Could she still be outside?"I went back to the courtyard, but she wasn't there. My heart started racing fast as I began to run around the palace but there was no sign of her."Mateo!" I picked up my phone and dialed his number. "Find the Luna!" I said and cut the call.After a few minutes, he ran up to me, panting hard. "Alpha... The Luna hasn't been found yet.""What do you mean you can't find the LUNA?!" I screamed at the top of my voice as Mateo returned, his eyes seemed like they were about to pop out."I left her outside! And I have strict instr

    CLARAI lay on the ground, the world around me began to clear, and panic surged through my veins as I struggled to comprehend what had just happened.The last thing I remembered was the gentle breeze and stars then-"Fuck!" I cried as I held my head, all I could feel right now was a headache, one that could split my brain into two."Roberto?" I called out softly. Where am I? Suddenly, my vision began to fade, and the shadows around me began to close in. I felt the weight of the night pressing down, and just before everything went dark.I caught a glimpse of a figure looming over me."Who are-""You should have listened to your dear husband and stayed in," The voice whispered, sending chills down my spine.That voice..."You're-""Hello, sister."I gasped as the realization hit me. That voice was unmistakably familiar- my elder sister."Why did you-" Betrayal coursed through Mr as I succumbed to darkness, realizing I had been trapped in her twisted game all along."Olivia was right...

    CLARAI was fast asleep when all of a sudden Olivia burst into my room breathing hard. The sound of my door being shut hard made me jolt up."What is it?" I gasped as I rubbed my eyes, I controlled myself not to scream at her."Luna? Why are you in bed?" She stared at me with wide eyes."What do you mean why am I still in bed? I've been in bed ever since you left!" I answered annoyed."I'm so sorry...it's just, I thought I saw you outside the training ground. Just now!""What?" I blinked rapidly, the sleep had now disappeared from my eyes. ~O~Roberto sat on my bed, holding me in his arms as he gently rubbed my belly, for some reason, that calmed me down and I enjoyed it.Olivia stood opposite us, her eyes wide and her hands shaking terribly. While Landon sat on the chair next to my desk."Olivia, repeat what you told the Luna," Roberto said, his voice laced with slight annoyance.She took a deep breath as she cleared her throat. "I went out for some fre

    OLIVIAI stood at the door watching Luna cry softly, she wasn't aware that I was in the room with her. I came in to drop her breakfast as she had completely stopped eating at the dining.To her, she claimed it was pointless since the cooks had been changed and only me and Ma'am Maria had control over what she ate.I let out a deep breath as I stood there, holding the tray still in my hands, carefully enough not to make any noise.She's going through a lot and I hated it, neither she nor the Alpha deserved this. They were good people, so why such a cruel fate?I sighed deeply and slowly slid down the wall, landing on the wall.Unfortunately, I winced when I cut myself with the penknife I kept on the tray."Who's that?!" Her voice spoke up."It's me, Luna!" I announced as I got up and slowly walked towards her with a forced smile. "I'm sorry I-""You heard me crying, didn't you?""I'm sorry..." I bowed my head down in shame. "You weren't aware when I got in and I suddenly heard you cryi

    ROBERTO"The Luna is pregnant," The doctor announced as he stood up. "However, there are signs of possible miscarriage, it would be best if she was to refrain from stress and such. Her body is weak so is her mind, a healthy mother is the only thing that can guarantee a good baby.""How long is she gone?""Alpha, I'd say a month. Early-stage pregnancies are easily prone to miscarriages, I'll bring over some drugs and drop a list of fruits and food she should eat, to prevent terrible news.""Thank you," That was the only word that could escape my lips, as he left. I sat on her bed, carefully stroking her hair.Mateo was outside her room, while Olivia and Landon were inside with me. "What do we do now?" Landon spoke up."Find my father and kill him. That's all we can do, Clara is pregnant, and now I have two important people to look after. Two souls that nobody should harm," I looked at him with a determined look."I'll find him, and end this so that my family and my people will be safe.

    CLARAI woke up feeling extremely tired, I looked down at myself and sighed when I realized I was still wearing my party dress.Still can't believe Storm's crowning ceremony and wedding were yesterday, still feels like a dream.I'm so happy for him! It's almost like it was me that those things were happening to.As I was about to get up, I let out a scream when I saw Mateo and Olivia right in front of my door, both of them had eyebags underneath their eyes, Olivia was leaning against the wall, while Mateo stood tall."What's going on?" I said, snapping them out of their thoughts and back to reality."Luna!" Olivia was the first to bow, followed by Mateo. "Good morning My lady," They said in unison."What's going on? Why are you guys in my room?""Uhmm..." Olivia scratched her head. "Last night..or would I say early this morning? The Alpha personally instructed that I would always be in your room, even when you're asleep.""Why?" I shot a brow up."He didn't say, my lady. I dare not q
