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
CLARAI couldn't believe it, all along it was Damien's plan, he planted Lillian here and everything - All along Lillian was trying to get in between us by acting so close to Roberto and he never knew, because he never believed such would happen and I never told him about how I truly felt! Damien on the other hand was trying to sleep with me and disgrace Roberto, he was always jealous of Roberto and wanted all he had! I was the perfect thing to help execute his plan and I foolishly fell for it. Roberto was right! He was fucking right! And I insulted him- The memories of what happened at Damien's party flashed and the guilt in my heart doubled. "Fuck." I coveted my face with my palm, I felt guilty towards Roberto, it wasn't his fault at all, he was just being used and played. He was the fucking victim in it all! "Tell me you're lying please," I looked up to Olivia who slowly nodded 'no'"It's the truth, Luna, I won't lie to you, everyone in the palace is aware of this, or if you wan
CLARA"Good morning Luna." Maria greeted me as I walked down the stairs. "Good morning, do you know where Roberto is?""The Alpha? He left not too long ago.""Really? Oh, thanks then." "Of course."I left her and went outside hoping to see him and luckily I did, he sat on the bare grass staring into the sky. "Hey," I said and he turned to face me. "Why are you outside?""It felt stuffy inside.""Oh," I quietly said and sat close to him. "Look uhm Roberto... I'm sorry.""Forget it, Clara." I noticed how he didn't even turn to face me. "I really am, I just didn't and-" I sighed. "Look, it was complicated, but I'm sorry.""Okay.""Roberto... Can we talk?""No, not now.""You aren't in the mood to talk?"He didn't reply and stood up, "I'll see you later." He left leaving me all alone. With disappointment, I sighed deeply and stared up at the sky. "I need my man back."Days passed and Roberto and I still haven't talked, he became distant and nonchalant even though I tried to talk to h
CLARAMy face turned blank. "What? No, I didn't.""Don't even think about lying," he removed my hands from his waist and sat on a chair not too far from us. "I met up with him after I brought you back, he literally bragged about it to my fucking FACE!" I looked at him in disbelief as confusion was plastered on my face. "He told me Clara, how you both fucked each other almost all the time, I can't believe you would do that to me," He sounded so betrayed and hurt. "I understand something happened but it could have been anyone else, Clara! Anyone but Damien! Because from day one I told you I didn't like him! Do you know how I felt when he bragged about you guys having sex to me? I couldn't even beat the shit out of him! I felt weak! You humiliated me, Clara!"I felt hot tears run down my cheeks. "WHAT?! That's a lie, Roberto! That's a fucking lie! I never did such! I didn't intend to hurt you or humiliate you.""I saw him on top of you Clara, you even moaned and kissed him back." I cou
CLARA"Lilian is Dead," Olivia announced. "Oh," I said and placed my hairbrush on the table. "When?""An hour ago.""What are the plans?""Plans?" She asked confusion evident in her tone. "You know, like to bury her?" I gave her an obvious 'you know what' look. "I don't think The Alpha has plans of such, he might as well throw her away since she was a traitor.""Wait what? Then... Her brother?""I have no idea, Luna, I only know that he saved the boy, I'm sorry.""It's fine, I'll see Roberto myself," I said as I stood up and walked towards my wardrobe, scanning through it and checking for the best outfit. My eyes landed on a short purple turtle neck gown, I removed it from the hanger. "Does it look good?" I asked Olivia. "Stunning, it looks stunning." She nodded in approval. "Okay then."I took a quick shower, got dressed, and left my room. I was in a hurry rushing down to Roberto's office. "Good morning Luna." The guards bowed as they made way for me to pass. "Morning." I wal
ROBERTO Two Months Later. It's been two months after the Clash with Damien, and to my surprise he actually was ready to start a war. Luckily, the Lycan King stepped in and we both sorted it. Damien was killed eventually, he also was branded a traitor and sentenced to death by hanging, His cousin Luca took over as Alpha and signed a peace treaty with my clan. Clara and I sorted out things and our relationship became stronger than before. We had our bad days and we also had our good days but it was all worth it, I smiled hard remembering her and the times we have shared together for the past two months. "I miss her," I groaned as I raised my head up looking at the ceiling. "After this work, I'll go to her room."I was in my office reading some files when a guard suddenly burst into my office looking terrified. "Alpha." He swallowed hard. "Yes?" I raised a brow as I placed the files I was reading on the table. He started stuttering which ticked me off. "What could be so urgent th
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
