CLARA"What? What is it?"He shifted uncomfortably as he glanced over at Landon who just nodded and stood up."I'll see you guys later." He smiled and left the dining room leaving just me and Roberto. "Okay, goodnight," I said as he walked away but I guess he didn't hear me as he didn't reply. Roberto ran a hand through his hair, he looked troubled."I can't sleep," "Oh," I felt a rush of concern. "Is it about the attack? Are you worried about that?""Yeah," He admitted as he blew out a puff of air from his lips. "It's killing me actually, even though I try to hide it. I'm worried,""We are all," I stepped closer to him and used my hand to ruffle his hair. "It's fine, everything will be okay,""Will it?""I know so,"After a moment of silence, Roberto pulled me into a hug. "Thanks for being here," he said softly. "I'm your wife silly!" I chuckled as I playfully slapped his back. "I'm always and will be always here for you, I don't know if that makes sense and you understand what I

ROBERTOThe next day."Roberto, rethink this," Clara said with a scowl on her face as she stood in front of me blocking my way."Rethink what?""Meeting my father, he can't be trusted, and what could his army do for you that yours can't?"I scoffed as I picked up my jacket. "I don't know, betray me?""I know but...have a rethink, isn't it better you work with Storm? His armies are stronger,""Clara, we have talked about this. Enough about Storm." I could feel my anger slipping away but I was controlling it, I knew she only wanted to help."But, just trust me okay? He isn't like Damien. He is just being misunderstood."Before I could speak, Landon walked in. "Oh," he mouthed. "Am interrupting something?" He asked as he noticed the awkward situation."No," "Yes!" Clara hissed."Okay," Landon looked back and forth between me and her before leaving the room and shutting the door quietly behind him."I'm running late Clara, I already arranged a meeting with him last night and that's final

CLARAImmediately after Roberto left, I headed back to my room and called my mother. My curiosity was getting the best of me and I hated it, I also had a bad feeling about whatever Roberto was planning.My father can't be trusted especially not in a crucial time like this.After three rings, my mother picked."Hello," her voice was warm but her tone seemed rushed. "Are you busy mother?"She let out a deep breath. "Sorry about that, I was in the middle of something. How have you been Clara? It's been a while,""I'm fine mother, you?""I'm doing quite alright..."I could feel her tension, did Roberto do something when I was admitted? I hated that the past few times we both seemed like strangers."Uhm mother, I wanted to ask. Did Dad mention anything about having a meeting with Roberto?""No," she replied with shock. "He hasn't said much to me these days, you know your father,""Is everything okay?" She added as I remained silent."Honestly Mom, no. Things are happening and I'm so confu

CLARAI rushed out of my room and headed for Roberto's, my mouth fell when I saw him sitting down on his bed peacefully reading a book.What?"You okay?" He asked as he noticed how hard my breathing was."No, I just...I thought I heard.......didn't you just scream right now?""Me?" He asked in disbelief. "I haven't even slept yet,""I...what?""Are you okay? You seemed stressed and tired. Go get some rest,""But-""Clara, as you can see I'm fine," he replies nonchalantly, his eyes still seeming tired."Okay," I stepped back and held the handle of his door. "Good night then."I couldn't sleep after what just happened, I know that scream. I've heard it multiple times. It's definitely him but why? He wasn't even asleep.I went to the kitchen, it was quiet and empty. Right, the maids and cooks would be definitely asleep.I decided to prepare dinner for myself, as I was cooking Landon walked in."Oh, I'm sorry. I was wondering who would be open this late,""Yeah it's me, I'm hungry," I lau

CLARAThe next day, I was jolted awake by Olivia's urgent voice echoing through my mind, informing me that my father had arrived at the palace.I groaned, rolling over to check the time on my phone only to realize that I had overslept. The late-night hours spent tossing and turning had taken their toll, and now I was paying the price with a damned headache pounding the guts out of my skull.I sat up slowly, trying to shake off the fog that clouded my thoughts. I also had a nagging feeling settled in my stomach.I groaned and placed my hand over my head. "I have a feeling today won't be so great."As I made my way down the staircase, the familiar scent of breakfast wafted through the air, but my appetite was nonexistent.I only brushed my teeth and didn't even bathe. Fuck, now I reek of sweat, maybe no one would notice or it's just me?The scent of the food grew stronger but my mouth wasn't salivating, rather I felt like throwing up. 'You may not be hungry but I am!' Rae's voice nagge

CLARA'Just stay out of it.'What am I? A fucking child?!I recalled Roberto's voice from earlier and also my dad's. Their plan was obviously bigger than the whack-ass shit they told me.Why won't they tell me?Hopefully, it isn't anything dangerous or worse.I'm so confused, I don't know if I'm worried, angry, confused, or all of them. I just want this to get over with and fast.'Need a run?'"I thought you'd never ask Rae," I smiled as I dropped my fork and stood up from the dining."I'll be out in the training ground," I told Maria who stood a few feet away from me."Will you be alright, Luna? Need a guard or-"I raised my hand. "No, please. I rather be alone, I need time to think and sort myself out."Her face fell. "Of course Luna, I understand. Please be safe."I ran out of the palace and jumped and skipped, the moment I got to the training ground I dismissed all the guards."But Luna- The Alpha gave strict orders that we shouldn't leave our posts." A guard spoke up but his head

CLARAStorm was right, even though it was painful to admit if anything actually happened to any of us. What's the gain then?Everyone tried their hardest to finally get here, what am I even doing?Why do I feel like I want to help but at the same time, I'm making things worse and more complicated?I sat on the bare floor staring at the ceiling, after talking with Storm, I went to the painting room.I've been in here for more than an hour or so, and barely even know what's going on behind those closed doors."I am really a pain in the ass, right?" I asked myself as I stayed there still."Not really," I heard Roberto's voice from behind me, I got up and looked at him."Sorry, the door wasn't properly closed,""Oh, I didn't even hear you walk in," I wrapped my arms around him as he got closer. "How was it? With Dad?""Okay I guess, it's better than nothing. Also, I'm sorry about earlier, I know it seemed like I wasn't being truthful but the thing is.." He pulled me away and raised up my

ROBERTO"I was quite aware it was my father's," Storm said as I threw the files Landon handed over to me.He looked at it without any emotion. "Is there a problem?""You knew it was your father's, yet you brought it to us?""I'm yet to understand how that is a problem. Landon asked for my help and I offered, what wrong did I do?"I looked over to Landon in shock as I wasn't aware that he was working with Storm, I wasn't angry or betrayed. I just felt off about it.His eyes flickered with guilt for a second but he shook it off and cleared his throat."No. It's just surprising. You do realize that if your father happens to have a hand in everything, it could cause a huge problem.""That I can take care of, it's my personal problem. All you need to do is catch the bastards, isn't that why you merged with Clara's father?" He shot a brow.I kept silent as I watched him speak, Clara on the other hand looked like she was about to explode.She was shaking badly and I wondered why."We have di

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
