Substitute Bride To The Alpha Chapter 13
ROBERTO My trip had to be cut short. Or rather, I cut it short because as much as I'd hate to admit it, I was missing Cassandra. Just staring at those blue eyes of hers was enough to make me drown, like in an ocean. Earlier in the morning, I had phoned home and told Maria I would be returning but no one should make mention of it to Cassandra. I wanted to surprise her. What I didn't expect was to find her in the shooting range. The minute I had gotten back to the mansion, I went up excitedly to her bedroom, only to meet an empty room. Getting back to the kitchen, I asked Maria about her whereabouts but she had no idea. I was scared, especially after what happened during my trip. The guards outside finally told me she went to the training ground but on getting there, I couldn't find her. I was ecstatic. Her scent was so faint, almost not there. My mind raced in a thousand different dimensions till Leonardo spoke. ‘Let me take control human’. I shifted into my wolf immediately. The

CLARA Fuck it! Fuck it!! Fuck it!!! What was wrong with me? I just nearly exposed a million-dollar secret out of anger. Who was I angry at? Roberto. Why was I angry at him? No idea. I was supposed to be grateful to him for saving me from those men and that serum. Then why was I angry? What's with the attitude? The minute I knew those men were Roberto's, my brain had sort of snapped. The library issue we had wasn't even enough, now we were adding another in the woods. But how could I be so angry that I made a slip that Cassandra stole my life? He'll definitely know I'm not that I'm not the Cassandra that I claim to be. Or maybe not. Groaning, I slammed my fist on the bed. Could my life get any worse? A knock on the door. "Who's there?" "Luna it's me, Maria. Are you okay?" I didn't want anyone's pity. Not now. I didn't even want anything to do with anybody in this house right now. "I'm fine". I tried my best not to shout at her. I heard her departing footsteps and groan

ROBERTO I returned to my room, boiling in anger. What was wrong with this Cassandra of a girl? She was really testing my patience and it was beginning to wear thin. ‘Calm down human’. “Really Leo? Few minutes ago I was the one trying to calm you down. If I wasn't strong, I would have shifted ”. ‘I understand. But she's our mate. We have to take it easy on her. There's probably something she wants to talk about and can't. We'll have to be patient till she's ready to come around. “There's something and if she won't tell me, I will dig it myself”. ‘I don't think that will be a good idea human. Digging into the life of our mate when she's not given us the permission’. “But what if she never tells us? She's lying to us about something. It's very obvious. And I know it has something to do with our marriage and her family. Didn't you hear the last thing she said? She said she wanted to be Clara again. She's hiding something and from the looks of it, she's definitely not telling us any

CLARA When I woke up the next morning, it was around 9 am. I took a deep breath and hit the bathroom to brush my teeth. Checking my face in the mirror, dark circles had formed due to the lack of sleep. I could hardly sleep after that scream. Heaven knows when I slept off. "Good morning Luna". Everyone I passed by greeted me. When I opened the kitchen door, I stilled. "Good morning Luna". All the workers there greeted me. This caused him to turn around and we just stared at each other. A part of me was screaming at me to go, leave the kitchen, and come back when he was gone. Another said to do my thing and ignore him. Another said to engage in a conversation with him and ask him about the scream last night. I decided to merge the last two. "Good morning". I climbed the stool opposite him and flashed a small smile. He looked up from his plate. "Good morning". He didn't return the smile. I noticed he had dark circles underneath his eyes. He looked terrible like he didn't.........

CLARA I ran my fingers through my hair time after time. "I'm really sorry Roberto. I really didn't know it was out of bounds. I was just wandering around and found the place ". He stood still, eyes trained on me, brows flat, face void of any emotion. My heart thumped loudly against my rib cage. Was he going to get more upset? Was this the secret hallway Maria said was forbidden? What had I gotten myself into? He walked stealthily towards me like the predator he was. I could only walk backward till my back hit the telescope. Raising his both hands, he put it on either side of me, caging me between him and the telescope. I didn't make a mistake in moving else I'd be up against him for he was close. Very close I was breathing the same air as he. His eyes bore down into mine and then slowly down my lips. I unconsciously licked it at the very time and I watched his Adam's apple bob up and down slowly as if he was swallowing a large lump. My eyes trailed back up to his face. It was still

CLARA A smile graced my face as I opened my eyes slowly. I turned around, expecting to feel the warmth emanating from Roberto's body but I was met with emptiness. I flung my eyelids open. Roberto was not in the observatory. So much for expecting to wake up in his arms. "Hey baby". His voice interrupted my thoughts. "Hey". I smiled. In his hand was a tray of coffee and cookies. I can't imagine that I had thought of him badly. "Got you something for your tummy. I thought you might be hungry after our yunno, strength-sapping exercise last night". He winked and I blushed. " Thank you Roberto. That's very thoughtful of you". He lay it on the blanket and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. Sitting opposite me, he crossed his legs and watched me with a smile. "What?" My cheeks had turned red. "Nothing. Just admiring the beauty goddess in front of me and wondering what I did to deserve a mate like you". " There you go again with the word. I thought we were just married based on a cont

CLARA. He knew. My mind went berserk. He knew. Roberto knew who I was. He knew. My face and emotions were nothing but horrified. I shook my head. Our eye contact had not broken and Roberto had not moved an inch after he had dropped that bomb. Was he waiting for my response? Well, I definitely don't have any right now. So I did what came to my mind. Run. I bolted for the door, totally forgetting about my blanket in the observatory. I didn't need it right now. Rushing down the stairs, I didn't dare check if Roberto was following me. I only hoped and prayed that he wasn't. By the time I got to our hallway, I turned, trying to control my breath. He wasn't following me. Better. I dashed into my room, panting as though I was chased by a lion. He knew. How would he think of me now? I locked my door and slid down to the ground. I could have avoided this but I didn't. And now he knew. He knew! It was all my fault. No. It wasn't my fault. It was my father's. Wait. My father was tryi

ROBERTO I watched her run out of the observatory and I stood still trying to wrap my head around everything. So it was true. She had been lying to me. Her parents had lied to me as well. "Alpha. Your phone". My beta was at the door of the observatory. "Let the call wait". I was pacing up and down. How could she lie to me? Just before I came to the observatory last night, I had asked Mateo to research Alpha William's family, his daughters, and everything and then get back to me. This morning when I went to get her coffee and cookies, he showed me what he had found and just like suspected, my beloved wife was not the bride I was meant to be wedded to in the first place. She was the other sister, Clara Williams. Cassandra Williams had not been seen since the day I got married. It was at that moment I started fixing the puzzle pieces. Cassandra Williams, my supposed bride had run away on our wedding day and Clara was asked to take her place and marry me. Now I could see why she des

CLARATwo years later."Silver, come here," I cooed at my little baby who had just finally taken his first step. "Aww, look at you. 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! Even though it's a few m

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
