"You know you can't keep whining about him forever."

My lips formed a frown, I felt offended. Did he just say I was whining?

"Should have known better." I stood up. "Excuse me, I'll be going to my room now." I turned my heels to leave but I felt someone grab my arm, I turned my face and my eyes met Damien's.

"Look, I'm serious I didn't mean it that way, it's just... " He paused for a while before he continued. "Talking and crying about that man who doesn't deserve you is just bullshit, I'm not trying to say to make you feel better but you deserve better, more than what you're getting. You deserved to be loved and treated right, not being lied to."

I wanted to speak but he hushed me up. "Let me finish Clara, I know how hard it must be, but don't let this pin you down. Forget about him, move on, the fact that he would stoop so low to cheat on you with your handmaiden shows that he never valued you in the first place so please Clara stop hurting yourself."

    CLARAI told Damien about Cassandra and how everything started, I watched as different emotions showed on his face, he paid attention to every single detail listening attentively. When I was done I let out a breath I never knew I was holding. "Your family is fucked, pardon me but they are fucked as hell."I snickered. "Well, I guess so.""Especially your dad, what concerns you if your sister ran away? That's their problem not yours, why did they make you pay for it?""Well..... I can't answer that, but it has happened already so asking questions like that won't solve anything." I shrugged."I know but doesn't still mean that it is wrong and unfair, especially your sister now put aside you replacing her and all, she has all of you worrying about her, is she dead? Is she alive? Was she kidnapped? I know those thoughts run wild in your head.""They do, every day. As much I am very pissed at her that I could break a bottle on her head, I'm worried and I can't deny it."He laughed and I f

    CLARAThe next morning I woke up feeling a bit active, unlike the past few days. I did some stretches and yoga to clear my head. To my surprise, it worked. "Wow, I will definitely start doing this almost all the time." I let out a breath. Right now, the only thing on my head was how to get Roberto out of my mind and I'll do anything possible.... A knock interrupted me. "Come in!"Damien walked in. "Good morning." He flashed a beautiful smile which I returned. Like I said earlier, anything possible to move on and forget about him. "Hm wanna get started?"My eyes widen. "Hold on! This early? Archery?!"He laughed out loud and I felt embarrassed again just like yesterday. "Are you fucking messing with me?!""I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to offend you but it's funny whenever you're embarrassed. Plus I was just joking, it's breakfast, time for breakfast." He became serious. "Food?" I chirped happily and dropped what I was holding. "Let's go then!"He laughed as he held my hand and we

    CLARAHe put a movie for us to watch which I had never seen, I asked him a dozen questions to which he replied, explaining the details of the movie to me. Finally, the movie ended and I found myself tearing up. "Why didn't you tell me IT HAD A FREAKING SAD ENDING?!" I groaned as I wiped my tears. "Wait that was sad?" He looked shocked. "What do you mean! The main character died! Of course, it is sad, don't you think?"He chuckled. "No.""Why?""Because he later achieved what he wanted, he saved lives too. What's the point of living a long life when you can't fulfill your destiny, but for that guy, it was the opposite he may have died but he will always be remembered and honored. He died for his people Clara, that's a righteous death.""Wow." I stared at him. "You're so smart."He blushed. "Thanks.""So what do we do now?" I looked out the window and noticed it was still raining. "Guess we might not do archery anymore." I frowned. "We could just chill and watch movies." He suggeste

    CLARAI watched in horror as Roberto started slamming Damien against the wall, my heart felt like it wanted to explode, Roberto wasn't even giving him any chance to defend himself. "ROBERTO STOP THIS MADNESS!" I screamed but he didn't stop, I threw a book at his head and he turned to face me. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you hitting him? Do you think you have the right to do so? What the fuck Roberto?! Haven't you done enough?!" I screamed. "It's his fault, Clara this man isn't who he claims to be.""Oh yeah?""It's his fault, Clara, everything is." "His fault?" I laughed. "That what exactly? You cheated!?""Clara! Enough of that madness!""No, I won't listen to you! Get THE FUCK OFF HIM NOW!"He hesitated for a while but finally let go of Damien, who had already passed out from the beating, I rushed over to him, he was alive just unconscious. His nose was broken and his face was bruised badly, I'm sure he also hit his head so hard because he was bleeding, he probably

    CLARARoberto had the guards lock me up in a private cell, I screamed and yelled for them to release me but they disagreed saying that Roberto would kill them if they did so. I felt trapped, I couldn't even check on Damien and what the fuck does Roberto mean it's his fault? I had so many questions that needed answers. "Y'all should fucking tell that retard Roberto that locking me up in this cell is only making things worse for him! This isn't helping matters!" I yelled and pulled the bars of the prison gate. The guards paid no attention to me and ignored like as if I wasn't there. "Fuck YOU!" I screamed and kicked the iron bar. I sat on the floor in defeat. A few minutes later a young maid came with a tray of food and snacks. "Good afternoon Luna, My name is Olivia, your new handmaiden."I scoffed. "My new handmaiden? Wow, what happened to the precious Lillian? Wait let me guess, now Roberto's side chick ugh?" I laughed and the girl looked at me with her eyes opened wide. She to

    ROBERTO (The night Clara ran away) 2 AMI was deep asleep when I heard a rattle that awoke me. "Who's that?""It's me Alpha, Lilian.""Oh, what do you want by this time of the night?" I raised a brow. "Nothing. " She said as she walked closer. "Then why the fuck did you interrupt my sleep?" No- that's a good thing I bailed on Clara again, I need to get back to her. "It's just -" She slowly walked closer and the lights shining from the moon passed through the window finally revealing her face and what she was wearing. "What the FUCK LILIAN?" I yelled in annoyance and disgust. She was wearing a see-through nightgown and had her hair and makeup done. "Get OUT of my office this instead or else-""Or else what?" She cuts me off rudely. Taking a few steps closer to me until we were only a few feet away from each other, she sat on my table. "Hm? Or else what?" Her tone changed into a seductive one. Immediately I grabbed her by the thigh and pulled her down on her knees, I used my se

    ROBERTO It's been four days! Four fucking days! Since the night Clara ran away, I passed out as I tried to chase her, Luckily for me Maria was still awake and she had the house doctor inject with something to drive the serum out of my body. I woke up two days later. The serum was to paralyze my body for a long period of time. When I woke up, I had the guard lock up Lilian in the underground dungeon, it was a special place where I kept everyone who I tortured especially those that committed treason. I groaned as my head started banging again, the serum had left my system but it had done some damage, especially with how I tried to fight against it, I was still weak but much better than before. According to the doctor, it would take a week before I'll fully recover. "Alpha." One of my guards bowed as he entered my room. "Yes?""We have her stripped and flogged like you said. She hasn't been fed or given water to drink... but still-""Still WHAT?!" I snarled at him. "I gave you peopl

    ROBERTODays passed and Lillian still refused to speak up. I tried different methods on her but none worked. "For fucks sake Lillian! Make this easier for yourself! Just FUCKING TALK!""No, I won't." She spat angrily. "What will be my gain if I talk?""I may spare you." I breathed. She scoffed and shook her head. "I rather die.""Is that so?" I picked up a plank and hit her with it angrily, I couldn't contain my anger anymore. She fell with a loud thud breathing heavily until it stopped. "Fuck." I muttered under my breath, I bent down and checked her pulse. She was alive but very weak. Immediately I called for the doctor and had them put her in a room, I couldn't let her die at least not now. She knows something and I must get it out. A few hours later, the doctor met me in my office. "Good evening Alpha.""Any news yet?""Well, she has severe injuries, especially to the head, she may live but not for long.""How long at least?""Two weeks.""Is she awake?""Yes."I was shocked t

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
