ROBERTO

"Are you okay?" It's been a week since Clara was discharged from the hospital.

She was cradled up in my arms, on the bed in my room.

She says nothing.

"You've been quiet. Is there anything bothering my Luna? You know you could always tell me anything". She sighed deeply.

Since her return, we hadn't had time to sit and discuss what had happened. I had other things that needed my attention and she needed to recuperate.

"Roberto. I know we've really not had time this week that has passed to talk about what had happened".

" Baby. I told you it was all good". I kissed her gingerly on the lips.

" I know you did. But I still need to apologize. To make things right". I took in a deep breath. Arguing with Clara was like running from your shadow.

"On that note, I'm sincerely sorry about the fraud my parents and I played on you..."

" Clara it's not......"

" Shh Roberto. Allow me to speak. It's as much my fault as it is theirs. I had the option of telling you but I didn't. Not like I co

    CLARAI tried Cassandra's line again for the umpteenth time and as usual, it went straight to voicemail. Unlike other days where I'll end the call without saying anything, I decided this wasn't other days. This was today and I was going to spill my mind."Cassandra. I really don't know where I could have wronged you. But I want to let you know that I won't apologize. You don't deserve it. You turned my life upside down when you fled your wedding and I had to marry in your place. You've not reached out to anybody since then, and neither have you taken calls. I'd say that I hope that you're happy wherever you are but you don't deserve it". I ended the call and sighed.Roberto had gotten me a brand new phone since I shattered my previous one.Speaking of Roberto, it's been days since the sex issue. I barely saw him these days. I spend the day in my room watching Netflix on my laptop. My thoughts drifted to my father. It had been nearly two weeks now since his disappearance. No call, no

    ROBERTO When Mateo called me the last time I wanted to make love with Clara and told me Alpha Williams had tried to escape, I nearly went crazy. Since then, I decided to keep a close eye on him and torture him more.Let's rewind to that day at the hospital.When I watched Clara's father leave, coupled with the anger of losing my pup, thoughts filled my head on how to deal with him. So, I told Mateo to abduct him and take him to my special dungeon. My special torture room for those whose atrocities were graver than death. I was supposed to have released him at my own will after making sure I dealt well with him for lying to me, defrauding me, and causing me to lose my unborn heir. That time had drawn near but he decided to escape and my anger doubled so I decided to keep him longer.No one was allowed into this part of the house except my special men and I. Now, Clara, my wife, and mate had let herself up to the observatory and library. I still wasn't bothered because I knew she would

    CLARAI sat there on Roberto's bed, unable to comprehend all that happened. I looked up at him, he had his back on the door."Clara".I shook my head. He didn't have the right to call my name. How could he? I believed in him. I trusted him. And for weeks I had been beating myself up in guilt about lying to him yet he had a bigger skeleton in his cupboard."Clara". I shook my head, scooting away from him when he came to sit beside me."Baby"."Don't touch me"."Baby look I'm sorry"." For what? For abducting my father, tying him with silver chains, starving him, torturing him in whatever secret base you have in your library? Is that what you're sorry for Roberto?"" Clara...I..."" And you know what hurts most?"He gripped his head with his hand." The fact that I had been living in guilt for lying to you. For trying to kill myself because I had kept a huge secret from you. Little did I know that you could be worse than me"." Clara......"" And Roberto ". I couldn't help but break int

    CLARA I woke up the next morning feeling gingered to go see my father, even if I had not gotten a clear response or rather no response at all from Roberto I don’t think he would hold me back from seeing my father after all he owes me for treating my father like a common prisoner. My tummy grumbled and I felt a slight bit of a headache, I had totally forgotten about having breakfast. The only thing that has been on my mind was to go see my father, the sudden thought of me seeing him in chains irked me. “You are up” Roberto walked into the room, disrupting my thoughts. He had with him a tray containing my breakfast in his hand, he dropped it on the dresser table and then stood behind me gently grabbing my waist. “You didn’t have to, for real…” he held on to his chest dramatically making me chuckle “Now that hurt my feelings” “You will take me to my father after breakfast right” I stared at Roberto and he just gave me a small smile, I took that as a yes since he has refused to

    CLARA"I was worried about Dad, how is he?"My mom sighed and walked closer to me discharging the nurses, "Well he's alive""I'm sorry mama" I looked down trying to hold back my tears"It's not your fault honey" She took my face In her hands and smiled. "Blame me and your father for this, if that hadn't happened we wouldn't be here""It's fine ma" I took her hands with mine. "It's okay, I just need to see Dad""Well he's a bit grumpy right now, you know how your father is, but sure let's go""Alright" I forced a smile and followed her, we stopped in front of a big door guarded by two huge men. "Well this is it" My mother nodded. "Sure you want to see him now?""Yes, Mother I do" I looked around and noticed how huge the ward was. "At least he put him in n a good ward" I sighed. "To be honest he was reluctant at first but I guess because of you he did this, your father is also getting the best treatment the hospital has to offer"My face fell immediately after I heard that, I know Rob

    CLARAThe ride back home with Roberto was awfully quiet, I had no energy to talk or argue and Roberto on the other hand seemed to be controlling himself holding back whatever he had to say, I couldn't really care much at this point, he was wrong and he should own up to it. Immediately we got home I didn't waste a second, I hurried to my room and slumped on my bed taking deep breaths, just as I was about to remove my clothes and step into the shower I heard someone knocking. "For fucks sake! I'm about to bathe!""It's me, Roberto""Oh come in," I said as I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around my body. "How're you?" He asked scratching his head and looking for the right words to say. "Okay I guess""Can we talk? You aren't busy right?""I was just about to shower" I pointed out as he finally looked at me and noticed the state I was in. "Oh my bad, I can come back later""Or just stay? I mean I'm not busy or anything .. "We both sat on my bed, his head hanging low and he was taki

    CLARAAfter the little chat with Lillian, I felt a bit better, I didn't even get to enjoy my snacks because I rushed them all, The orange drink was filling and the cookies were so yummy. I back into the mansion after two hours only to face an angry Roberto "Oh please for heaven's sake, don't give me that look Roberto" I frowned. His facial expression softened and he walked closer to me. "I'm sorry, I was worried, where were you?""Outside, taking fresh air, I needed to clear my head and the weather seemed nice"He made an 'O' with his lips and nodded like he understood. "That's great to hear, you okay now""A bit, someone talked some sense into me" "Who?""No one really special but special"He raised a brow at me clearly confused but didn't push the matter any further. "You hungry?""Yes yes, I am! The snacks I had weren't really satisfying""Oh is that so?" His face twisted a bit. "Who made such? Let me know-"."No no, I meant that it was so good I didn't have enough to my fill"

    CLARAAfter cooking, Roberto called for Maria and the maids to clean up while we wanted to go and refreshen up, I had flour well everywhere, my hair, face and my white clothes damn, I could say more for Roberto especially thanks to me turning flour at him multiple times. Immediately Maria walked into the kitchen after she was summoned by Roberto she burst out giggling but stopped immediately when Roberto stared daggers at her. "Don't even talk about it Maria" He warned"I'm sorry My king and Luna, it's just" She couldn't hold it any longer and started laughing which made me feel embarrassed. Roberto noticed my slight discomfort and cleared his throat. "If you don't stop laughing I'll have your head on a silver plate," He said sternly which immediately shut Maria up. He laughed at her reactions but stopped when he noticed how angry I was. "Roberto!" My eyes widen at him. "That wasn't funny""Well it was to me" he chuckled. "No, it wasn't!""Of course" he rolled his eyes and pecked

    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!

    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
