CLARA

Two days later.

"I have updates!" Landon clapped his hands excitedly.

"For real?" I jumped out of my chair and rushed over to him. "What is it?"

"Well, it's not much but," he sighed. "I traced his phone to an abandoned tunnel, it seems like it's a dungeon but I'm not sure."

"Are you sure?"

"His phone signal says so, and I believe it is, because from where we were attacked. It's just an hour away from there."

"Then let's fucking go!"

"We can't go alone Clara, we need backup."

"But who can we trust? For all I know everyone could be traitors!"

He leaned into his chair as he seemed lost in thought, thanks to Maria and Olivia he healed faster than normal.

"Well, this is a very crazy idea, but I know someone who can help or people rather."

"Okay then, let's fucking go!"

"It won't be easy Clara."

"Let's give it a shot!"

"Okay," he groaned. "Don't say I didn't warn you."

    CLARAThe ride was extremely long and unbearable, sitting my ass down for hours wasn't really my thing. Maria and Olivia called severally just to check up, I was happy they did. The ride was nonstop, we either stopped to get food or take a piss, Storm refused to stop at any hotel to rest while Landon complained. I loved how Storm was in a hurry to find Roberto and put an end to this but we all needed our rest. "For freak's sake Storm we need to sleep at least." I walked towards him where he stood leaning against a tree as he lit up a cigarette. "Okay, but not for long. This area is dangerous.""Thank you."We stopped at a hotel that wasn't so fancy but it was okay, Storm had his guards stand outside the doors guarding every one of us but I refused. "They also need their rest too, They will need it when we finally get Roberto.""That's true," he smiled and ruffled my hair. "You're very smart."He dismissed the guards who all sighed in relief and thanked me before heading to their

    CLARA"Roberto? It's me, Clara!""Who's Clara?!" He yelled, I tried to reach out to him but he slapped my hands away. "Get away.""I-" I stammered as I looked over at Storm and Landon. "What's happening?""I'm not sure but-""I know," Storm cuts in. "He has been tortured and injected with serums, It's something I also do to traitors back at my palace.""So?""The thing is, His brain has been through much damage. We should be grateful he is still alive, he looks horrible.""What can we do then?" I panicked. "Enough talking and take him out of here." Landon walked over to Roberto and swung his arm over his shoulder. "Who are-""Not now Roberto, we are good guys and we will get you to safety.""Where is Cassandra?" He mumbled as he opened his eyes. "Where is she?"I froze immediately when I heard the name Cassandra escape from his lips, is it that bad he has totally forgotten who I am?"Who is Cassandra?" Storm arched a brow. "I-""Enough stammering Clara, that isn't important now. An

    CLARAIt's been two days since we rescued Roberto, and we haven't heard from Storm or his men. The fear in my heart couldn't be explained by words. "We are finally home." Landon smiled as he packed the car, I let out a shaky breath as I looked at the palace through the window. "It's good to be home I guess," I muttered as I looked back at Roberto, he was still unconscious. Thanks to Storm who carried around some kits, we were able to treat him to the best of our knowledge, he is alive just in a coma. "Hold on, let me get Maria and Olivia.""Okay."Landon picked up his phone and dialed some numbers as he leaned against the car, we waited patiently for some minutes. "Finally! You guys are here.""Luna! Sir Landon." Maria bowed as she opened the car door for me. "How have you-"I was cut short when Olivia wrapped her arms around me. "I was so worried sick!" She cried. "I was so scared!""It's fine, it's alright," I smiled as I patted her back. "I'm here so is the Alpha.""I knew you

    CLARA"Stepbrother? I don't get it. How? From where?""Clara, it also came as a shock to us. Trust me, I don't want to believe it either." "What did you guys find out?""In my case," Storm cleared his throat. "When I captured Nolan and started questioning him, I found out that he didn't even know much, he was just being used, same as his sister.""His sister?" I puzzled. "The girl from earlier?""Yes, However, she isn't Roberto's sister.""Okay," I laughed. "I'm going crazy right now and you guys are saying bullshit!"Landon hesitated for a moment before speaking up. "Clara, it's hard to believe but hear us out." "Okay.""Roberto's father was having an affair with Wyatt's wife who already had a daughter with Wyatt. Nolan was born 3 years after Roberto was born, unfortunately, after Roberto's mother's death, Wyatt found out.""But he decided to keep shut about it," Storm added. "The best way to get back at a man like Alexander is to use both of his sons to kill each other or make the

    CLARATwo weeks Later. "I can't believe this! It's been two weeks and yet nothing has happened. Nolan is still locked up while Wyatt and Alexander are roaming about like free men.""Calm down Clara, I'm sure we will figure something out. But for now, Roberto is our top priority. Once he wakes up and gets back his senses, we are good to go.""Not going to lie, Clara is right. Can't we do this ourselves? Besides, even if he wakes up today he needs time to rest.""Wow Storm, I never knew you cared like that." Landon Joked. "I don't care, I just want to get things done as soon as possible.""What do we do?" I panted hard trying to catch my breath."I'm going crazy! For the past month, my life hasn't been okay! Neither has my husband been okay.""Let's meet with the doctor and see what's going on." Storm suggested. "Landon will stay and watch over him, while we both will go, okay?""Now?" I sniffled as I wiped my tears with my sleeve. "Yes now, Clara." ______________________________"Ho

    CLARA"I'm making a sweater for you, not sure if you'd like it but-" I sighed as I dropped my knitting pin and yarn. "Fuck this.""If you don't wake up soon, I'll go crazy Roberto. I need you, the clan needs you, and- for fucks sake those fuckers who hurt you are running wild and I can't do shit about it.""Do you know how heartbreaking that is? I can't even cry out. I just feel so useless and helpless.. ""I need you back, we have to fight this together. I can't do it alone. A soft knock interrupted but I ignored it until I heard another. "Luna-""Yes?""Can I come in?""Okay." "There's a problem.." Olivia said as she stood against the door with her head hung low. "Olivia speak up! I don't have time to waste.""The Elders are in the meeting room requesting your audience.""What? Why?""They know.""Know fucking What? ""About the Alpha."I felt my heart beating hard against my chest, I immediately stood and ran outside the room heading for the meeting room, everyone I walked past

    CLARA"Don't run deep into the wood Clara," Landon yelled as he stood outside watching me and Storm. "And you," he pointed at the storm. "If anything happens-""Oh stop acting like a mom and quit nagging. I won't."Landon huffed as he folded his arms. "Fine then!""More tea sir?" Olivia said as she offered him a cup of tea. Landon's expression softened immediately his eyes laid on her. "Thank you.""Pfft, Lovebirds." Storm made a disgusted face. "What-I-" Landon started to stutter which made everyone laugh. "Fuck you all." He dropped the cup and stormed back inside while Olivia quietly followed him. "Those two are suspicious.""Ever heard of minding your own business?""Not fun Clara."I rolled my eyes as I walked away. "Suit yourself. I hid behind a huge tree as I removed my clothes. Gently folded them and placed them on the trunk. Immediately I shifted into Rae who let out a satisfying howl. "Been in there for long ugh?"'The air is very refreshing.'"Couldn't agree less."Sh

    CLARAThe drive back home was extremely depressing, it was taking me back to my past and before- before I met Roberto and discovered what they called happiness. Before leaving, I told Storm, Landon, Maria, and Olivia. Also giving them strict instructions to report back to me anything about Roberto's health. Thankfully, he seemed to be responding perfectly fine to treatment, but when will he wake up? My thoughts vanished when I pulled up at my parent's palace. At first, I was hesitant but I had no other choice, whatever it was. It's better I find it out and get the hell out here immediately. I knocked softly on the door, and immediately it spun open and the head maid greeted me. "Welcome back Miss Clara.""There is no need for that, I'll be out of here immediately.""Of course."I slowly walked to my father's office, I swallowed hard as I turned the door knob. "Morning Father."He didn't reply, he just pointed to the chair opposite him, I sat quietly staring at him in the eyes. S

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
