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
Clara's POV"What do you mean my father?!" He yelled as he gripped my shoulders, I yelped as I felt his claws digging in, from my side eye, I could see fur popping out of his skin. "I- It's a long story.""Clara what exactly happened!!?""I'm sorry! It was a mistake! I didn't know, I was just wandering -""And you found yourself in the dungeon? Underground???"I bit my lower lip and looked down. "I didn't know, I'm sorry."He sighed and dropped his hands to his side. "Roberto?""Don't fucking leave my sight as from now on, I don't know what happened or what is going to happen. But all I know is, my father will want to strike and before he does I will.""Yes, I understand." I nodded. "Let's go." He started walking ahead of me, I had no other choice than to keep up with his long strides as he held my hand. My heart raced just thinking about everything, if Roberto's father escaped does that mean war? What will happen? My head started hurting from the overthinking, both negative and p
CLARA"Roberto, please calm down."He ignored me again, it's been thirty-five. He has been pacing back and forth in the hall room waiting for Landon who called earlier saying he was back. "Roberto!" I yelled at him and his head snapped towards me. Finally. "I'm sorry, it's just!" He sighed and raised his head revealing his Adam's apple. "It's been fucking two hours! Where is he?!""I'm pretty sure-"I was cut short when a guard came in. "I'm sorry to barge in your Highnesses, but you have a guest.""Landon?" Roberto's eyes widen. "Let him in.""Okay, Alpha." The guard bowed and left, and immediately another man walked in. He was tall, but not like Roberto, he had long brown hair that rested on his shoulders perfectly and hazel orbs to match. "Wow, I'm jealous." I mocked quietly. "Why?""His hair is amazing.""Not that amazing." He snorted. I watched as he approached us smiling widely. I smiled back at him, he also had a very calm welcoming aura, without even hearing him speak I
ROBERTO It started again. My nightmares. But this time, it was worse than before. I saw my father, he killed Clara and took over as the Alpha. My heart raced just by thinking about it. "What the fuck do I do?" I muttered with slight frustration. It's been nine days since he escaped, every minute, second, and hour, he spends out there freaks me out. I ran my hands through my hair, and looking to the other side, I noticed Clara was still fast asleep, her hair was all over her face with her lips slightly parted. I smiled softly as I admired her. "I'll protect you and everyone at all costs." I placed my hand on her forehead. I quietly left my room heading to my office, I needed to think and plan something fast. "For fucks sake what is Landon-""I'm literally at your back," I heard a groan and I turned. Landon stood at my back holding a cookie in his hand while he held coffee in the other. "We need to talk.""Good, because I wanted to see you too."We both walked to my office, I
ROBERTO 9 pm. "Everyone is ready, yes?""Minus me," Landon groaned. "I need to piss."I sighed with slight frustration which earned me a look. "What!? A man gotta pee.""Fine, be fast."Immediately after he left, Maria and Olivia entered my office, and both of them bowed. "Alpha, you sent for us?""Yes, I'll be leaving the palace for some days but it's a secret, only you and her should know because I need you both to keep a close eye on Clara. For all I know enemies could be with us in the palace.""We understand Alpha." They replied in sync and I nodded. "You may leave."Olivia left while Maria walked up to me. "I know your father, please be careful.""I will," I almost called her mom but I immediately stopped myself. "You don't have to worry, just take care of Clara.""You don't have to tell me twice Roberto, you both are like my children. I'll do everything possible to ensure that the Luna is safe. I hope you can promise to return safely back to us.""I will, I promise.""Then
ROBERTO The ride was quiet, extremely quiet. I looked at Landon who seemed lost in thoughts. "They killed my father." His words rang through my head. Fuck. I hate everything. I remember when Landon and I were kids, 19th August. The date still lingers in my head when his nanny broke the news of his father's death to everyone. Landon's father was a guard before he resigned and became a rich man living on his own, but he remained loyal to my family and visited every time. I first met Landon when I was 8 and he was 6. At such a young age he was so brave, annoying, and daring. (Flashback) "You aren't fit to be the Alpha, mother boy." He grumbled when I ran to my mother hiding behind her back. "Landon, that's enough." His father scolded him. "What? He's such a mommy boy.""At least I have a mother." I snapped at him which made him burst into tears and run away. "Pardon me Luna." his father bowed and ran after him. "Roberto, that was cruel of you." My mother scolded. "But I don't
ROBERTO "Why the fuck didn't you tell me there was a snake behind me?! I screamed at Landon who just sat on the floor laughing. "I'm so sorry! But you had to see your fucking face!" He held his tummy still laughing hard. "It wasn't funny Landon, for fucks sake I almost thought you wanted to kill me!""Why?!" His facial expression changed into a serious one. "Why would I?""I-" I sighed. "I don't know, just forget about it.""Anyway, before that happened," he stood up and walked towards me holding some files. "We may not have seen Wyatt but we have more than enough bullshit on him."I took the files from his hands and looked through them carefully one by one. "So he's a fraudster in the human world and also wanted in other clans?""Yep," he nodded. "He may have changed his identity and moved away but he can't hide.""This won't take us anywhere Landon," I grunted, I was beyond disappointed with how things were going. "We need leads! Not some fucking documents.""Look Roberto, I und
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
