Substitute Bride To The Alpha Chapter 9
CLARA Yesterday had rolled by and Roberto had not even bothered to call me. Who was I kidding? He didn't even have my contact. I paced the room up and down, wondering what to do with my day. It wasn't easy being stuck in this giant mansion with nothing to do but use my phone, watch movies, or sleep. Then my mind went to Roberto's letter. He had left his credit card saying I could go shopping wherever I wanted and spend whatever amount of money I wanted. The funny thing was, I didn't even need the dresses, what did I even want to shop for? I needed to do something fun. I stared at the sweater I was knitting which lay on my bedside table. It was a bright yellow. Reminded me of summer but funny enough, summer wasn't a time for sweaters. A maid came to announce that my breakfast was ready and I changed into something comfortable to go downstairs. There goes the greetings again. I answered as much as I could. The rest, I nodded as usual. "So Maria. What interesting thing do you think

CLARA I didn't know when a loud gasp escaped my lips. The men turned their attention towards the door and I quickly dashed back into the room, my mind racing up and down and thinking of how to escape the mess I just got myself into. Did I see what I wasn't supposed to? Would I be killed because of that? Surely they won't unalive me. I held onto the piano, backing the door and trying to still my breath when I heard the door open. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" My breath hitched. Oh, dear Lord! I swallowed the huge lump that had gotten stuck in my throat and it made a loud noise. "You heard me and you definitely don't want me to get to where you are". I closed my eyes, praying to the moon goddess that this cup would pass over me. I felt a hand gripping my arm, a gun pressed to my back and I was turned over. "Who are you?" The man's face was hard and scary. He wore a black suit with a black shirt. The gun was still held tight in his hand, his finger dangerously near t

CLARA The week had rolled by and soon it was weekend, time for Roberto to return. I didn't even know whether or not I looked forward to his return. I had found comfort in watching movies on my phone. Watching them on the TV just seemed to be so boring, so I'd cuddle up under my duvet, with my earplugs and watch movies all day. Since the 'bloody hand men' incident, I had given up on anything 'exploring' in this house. Maria had asked for details but I had blatantly ignored her. She'll probably think I was crazy. To begin with, no one was in the observatory nor the library when I went in there and no one had climbed up those steps either. So how did those men come from there? Or have I started seeing ghosts? Yet, why did the man's hand feel so real? A ghost won't have a strong grip on you, will it? How about the toilet incident? I know I saw Roberto. I know I did. Yet, Maria said he wasn't back. What was wrong with me? I got under the duvet after I was done dressing up. I definitel

CLARA Raelene and I had been running for nearly an hour if not more and now we stood still, looking around us. Before now, we had been running in circles around the mansion. How did we get out of that circle? “What now Rae?” ‘Are you asking me that human? Didn't we run together?’ I groaned. Can't she even make it a little better? ‘Let's explore a little anyway’. Oh no no. “Rae, I'd suggest we turn back the way we came and find a way out”. ‘And I suggest we explore. You're in my body now. I make the rules, you follow. “Are you for real Rae?” She was utterly insane right now. ‘Nope. I'm for fake’. She trudged forward proudly and I huffed, annoyed that she wasn't listening to me. I certainly didn't have a good feeling about this. In fact, since my last adventure, I had given up on exploring. I was still very shaken by the incident. We got to a large water fountain and I gasped. How on Earth did such a beauty get to this location? ‘Would you have seen or enjoyed this sight if

ROBERTO My trip had to be cut short. Or rather, I cut it short because as much as I'd hate to admit it, I was missing Cassandra. Just staring at those blue eyes of hers was enough to make me drown, like in an ocean. Earlier in the morning, I had phoned home and told Maria I would be returning but no one should make mention of it to Cassandra. I wanted to surprise her. What I didn't expect was to find her in the shooting range. The minute I had gotten back to the mansion, I went up excitedly to her bedroom, only to meet an empty room. Getting back to the kitchen, I asked Maria about her whereabouts but she had no idea. I was scared, especially after what happened during my trip. The guards outside finally told me she went to the training ground but on getting there, I couldn't find her. I was ecstatic. Her scent was so faint, almost not there. My mind raced in a thousand different dimensions till Leonardo spoke. ‘Let me take control human’. I shifted into my wolf immediately. The

CLARA Fuck it! Fuck it!! Fuck it!!! What was wrong with me? I just nearly exposed a million-dollar secret out of anger. Who was I angry at? Roberto. Why was I angry at him? No idea. I was supposed to be grateful to him for saving me from those men and that serum. Then why was I angry? What's with the attitude? The minute I knew those men were Roberto's, my brain had sort of snapped. The library issue we had wasn't even enough, now we were adding another in the woods. But how could I be so angry that I made a slip that Cassandra stole my life? He'll definitely know I'm not that I'm not the Cassandra that I claim to be. Or maybe not. Groaning, I slammed my fist on the bed. Could my life get any worse? A knock on the door. "Who's there?" "Luna it's me, Maria. Are you okay?" I didn't want anyone's pity. Not now. I didn't even want anything to do with anybody in this house right now. "I'm fine". I tried my best not to shout at her. I heard her departing footsteps and groan

ROBERTO I returned to my room, boiling in anger. What was wrong with this Cassandra of a girl? She was really testing my patience and it was beginning to wear thin. ‘Calm down human’. “Really Leo? Few minutes ago I was the one trying to calm you down. If I wasn't strong, I would have shifted ”. ‘I understand. But she's our mate. We have to take it easy on her. There's probably something she wants to talk about and can't. We'll have to be patient till she's ready to come around. “There's something and if she won't tell me, I will dig it myself”. ‘I don't think that will be a good idea human. Digging into the life of our mate when she's not given us the permission’. “But what if she never tells us? She's lying to us about something. It's very obvious. And I know it has something to do with our marriage and her family. Didn't you hear the last thing she said? She said she wanted to be Clara again. She's hiding something and from the looks of it, she's definitely not telling us any

CLARA When I woke up the next morning, it was around 9 am. I took a deep breath and hit the bathroom to brush my teeth. Checking my face in the mirror, dark circles had formed due to the lack of sleep. I could hardly sleep after that scream. Heaven knows when I slept off. "Good morning Luna". Everyone I passed by greeted me. When I opened the kitchen door, I stilled. "Good morning Luna". All the workers there greeted me. This caused him to turn around and we just stared at each other. A part of me was screaming at me to go, leave the kitchen, and come back when he was gone. Another said to do my thing and ignore him. Another said to engage in a conversation with him and ask him about the scream last night. I decided to merge the last two. "Good morning". I climbed the stool opposite him and flashed a small smile. He looked up from his plate. "Good morning". He didn't return the smile. I noticed he had dark circles underneath his eyes. He looked terrible like he didn't.........

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
