"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

    CLARA"Clara?"I felt a hand rub my cheeks softly, and a soft moan escaped my lips. "Clara, you awake baby?" I heard the voice say, my head felt clouded so I couldn't make out the voice. With a weak groan escaping my lips, I opened my eyes and gasped when I saw Roberto sitting in front of me. I looked around and found out that I was in a hospital and he-"Why the fuck are you here? How? Why? What?! What happened?" I started blurting out questions as my brain couldn't process what was really going on, I was happy and also confused. "I-" Before I could finish my sentence he pulled me into a tight warm hug, I wrapped my arms around him hugging him tightly back crying. "I've missed you so much, I was so worried that-""Shhh," He said as he gently patted my back. "I'm sorry for making you worry, I really am.""No, don't be. It was my fault-"He pulled away from the hug and looked at me"How? Come on, don't say that.""But- I didn't even do a good job as a wife, I failed and I messed up e

    CLARAAfter a few days, I was later discharged. My mother visited me twice while I was still admitted, however, my father never showed up. He lied that he was occupied with work. Roberto felt irritated by his actions and called him an irresponsible father but he didn't care much. He already knew how useless my father was. After that day, Storm only came by once and it didn't end well, he and Roberto almost got into a fight and since Roberto was well- The Alpha of the most powerful clan, he had Storm thrown out. We fought about it for hours but I couldn't risk staying mad at him, I've missed him so much. While Landon, Maria, and Olivia came by. Olivia wouldn't stop crying so I left her in the hands of Landon, while Maria seemed very happy to have both me and Roberto back. Even tho she was the head maid, it was like she was our own mother. Personally, I'd pick her over mine who let my father kick me around but could I blame her though? "We are here." Roberto's words snapped me out o

    CLARA"Clara?! Are you okay?!" Roberto asked as he ran towards me. I turned my head towards him and then back at what I was staring at. Nothing. Didn't someone just call my name now? Or have I started hallucinating? "Clara?""I'm fine," I replied as I swallowed hard trying to make sense of what just happened. "It's just. I thought I heard someone.""Really? When?""Just right now.. Or maybe it was you, I don't know.""Probably, come. Let's go inside, it's late already.""Okay."I walked beside him side by side in total silence, when I got to my room I turned around and bid him goodnight. "Goodnight Roberto."He scratched his head and opened his lips to say something but nothing came out. He just stared at me like he wasn't sure of what he wanted to say. "What?""Nothing," He forced a small smile. "Goodnight."As he turned to leave, I grabbed his arm. "What?" He asked as he looked over his shoulder. "Can I stay with you?"I wasn't sure why I asked that, I was okay staying alone b

    CLARA"You both should lock the door next time please!" Landon yelled as he left and angrily shut the door. I arched a brow and looked at Roberto who seemed pissed off. "Wait. Why is he mad? He was the one who walked in on us.""I don't know, I don't care." He said and got off me and laid on the other side of the bed then turned away. Wait, why is he mad at me? It wasn't my fault. "Roberto?""Goodnight." He deadpan, his response almost made me throw a flip but I decided to let it go. With a huff I turned to the other side, that night the both of us slept with our backs turned to each other. The next morning. "Good morning Luna!" Olivia greeted me as I entered my room. "There is nothing good about the morning." I hissed as I walked past her and lay on my bed. By the time I woke up, Roberto was gone. I don't even understand him sometimes, His anger is just frustrating it wasn't my fault Landon ruined last night. Hell, I didn't even know the door was locked. "You okay Luna?""Y

    CLARA"Who? How did it happen?" Roberto's voice was steady, but I could sense the tension radiating from him. I watched as Maria took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. "It was Seth. He was on patrol near the eastern border when he was ambushed. They found his body just moments ago."Ambushed? Could it be? Nolan? Wyatt? Or Alexander? My expression hardened. "Ambushed? By whom? We need answers Maria and we need them now, what happened?""I don't know Luna," Maria replied, her voice trembling. "But there were signs of a struggle, and... there were claw marks. I don't know it was just a random attack."Roberto's eyes widened. "Claw marks? Do you mean werewolves? Another pack?" He clenched his jaw and looked at Landon who seemed lost. "We need to see the body," Landon spoke up. "I have a bad feeling about this."I stepped closer to Maria, my voice softening as I noticed how tense and scared she was. "We will protect our pack, Maria. We always have, but right now we need to be str

    CLARA"What the hell?" Roberto exclaimed, his voice a mix of disbelief and anger. "He was right here! How could he just disappear?"My eyes darted around the clearing, searching for any sign of what happened. "This doesn't make sense. Someone must have taken him, but how? When? Just one stupid wolf showed up and now we lost a dead body?! Just before our very own eyes?!"Landon coughed. "For the record, our backs were turned on the dead body... " I shot him a glare to shut up him. "No time for jokes.""Sorry." He shrugged. "But why? Who would do this?" Maria said as she scanned the area, Roberto who was silent bent down and picked up a paper that was next to a tree. That wasn't there moments ago... "What does it say?" I asked as I tried to peer over his shoulder. With a deep breath, he unfolded the note and read every word out loud. "Couldn't risk getting my plans exposed. Besides this is just a warning, next time it may be more." "Great," he grunted. "While I'm supposed to be ha

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
