CLARA"How long will it take?!" I groaned as I stood there looking around."Roberto, what the fuck? Where are you?"I was outside waiting for his return, I woke up a few hours ago and was shocked to hear that he wasn't back.Storm's palace wasn't far plus he used a car, what's taking so long?I heard a growl from nearby, the guards surrounded me as they pointed their guns in all directions."Just stay here Luna! Who's-"They all dropped their guns when Leo jumped out from the field and landed in front of us.What a fucking jump."Alpha!" They all bowed.I think he mindlinked them as they all left leaving just me and him."Leo! I've missed you!" I smiled and ran over to hug him, his fur was soft and it smelt just like him.I immediately forgot that I was pissed at him for not picking up his calls or wasting time. The wolf gently nudged my forehead."Can I change too? So we would go for a run?"I noticed a small smile, I suggest that's a yes then. I went to the usual big tree and remove
ROBERTOA week later."So, what's with the urgent meeting Storm? I was in the middle of something important," I said as I walked into my office.Landon was seated next to where Storm stood, I noticed that his face held a stern expression."My father agreed to meet up with Nolan and Wyatt tomorrow night by 8 pm," Storm cleared his throat as he sat down next to Landon with his legs crossed.After a few days, Landon and I found out that Killian was involved with their plan, however despite everything Storm denied knowing anything and just wanted to end his father.I found it hard to trust him, but Clara was persistent in me working with Storm. My meeting with her father also sparked rumours just like we expected.Everyone played their parts, we had guards watch everyone in the palace closely and discovered more people working for them.While I used William's army as a disguise, I discretely gathered my old guards. Mateo and other men of mine that I sent away on personal matters.The rumo
ROBERTO"You kidnapped Wyatt's daughter?!" Storm yelled as he followed me from behind.His voice was filled with disbelief and anger as he hurried to catch up."So?" I replied, my tone dismissive."You could have told us! We are all in this together, Damn it, Roberto!"His frustration was palpable, echoing in the tense air between us.I turned to face him, arching a brow defiantly. "And?"Landon let out a puff of air as he spoke."To be honest. That was a risky move, I know we had plans but- kidnapping his daughter? Isn't that far-fetched?""Far-fetched?" I arched a brow. "So what would you say they're doing then? That isn't far-fetched enough?""I know but-""I only had an alternative, Just in case things went south. And it worked, is that so bad?" I shot back, my irrigation boiling beneath the surface."You could have told us!" Storm retorted, his voice rising. "At least we deserve to know what is going on and how to help!""And now you do," I said curtly, turning on my heel and stri
ROBERTOThree days later.Everyone was seated at the round table in my bigger office, including Clara. Just as expected, Killian, Wyatt, and Nolan met up but we didn't attack as we planned.The tension in the air was thick, a mix of anticipation and dread as the moon hung low outside, casting shadows that danced eerily across the walls.'I can feel it'"Feel what Leo?"'The success that awaits us'I blew out a puff of air as I looked at everyone, they all looked lost in their own thoughts but their faces held a determination.We had Alpha William's guards spy on them and collect details. Just like I thought, they were planning a prison break for Wyatt's daughter. The thought of it pissed me off, I could feel Leo's energy slipping out urging me to act."So as for the new updates, Wyatt is planning a prison break," I cleared my throat as I spoke. "And as you all know, we can't let that happen, the prison break also means war. I don't think they would just quietly take back the girl with
ROBERTO"Oh, I told him to do that," I confessed in a low tone."What?" Her eyes looked like they were about to pop out. She was obviously shocked. "It was your doing? Are you sure?""Hm, so don't worry. Mateo is the last person to betray me." I reassured her, trying to ease her concerns. "Besides, it wasn't anything Important. Just a few questions that needed answers.""Oh, you got them? The answers?""Yeah, was helpful, to be honest."She let out a breath, visibly relieved."For a moment, I was actually scared and didn't know how to tell you. I felt so betrayed knowing that the majority of the Elders were against us.""It's alright Clara, I understand."I replied, trying to comfort her."So...." She trailed off, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "This is it then? The end to Wyatt and Nolan is finally here?"I guess so," I shrugged. I don't know about 'end' but we were somewhere."Will you kill them?"Her sudden question caught me off guard, stirring a mix of emotions within me. Coul
CLARA"Must everyone prove themselves to you? Until you're satisfied? Why can't you be selfless and just give people a chance?"The moment those words left my lips, I instantly regretted it, not only did I go too far but..."Roberto, are you-" Before I could finish my sentence, his eyes ignited into a fierce crimson, a sight I had never witnessed before."I-" He collapsed, the weight of his body hitting the floor with a heavy thud before I could utter another word.What just happened?"Roberto!" I rushed to his side, desperation clawing at my throat as I tried to lift him. His body lay still, and the air suddenly became suffocating with an unsettling tension. What was happening?"HELP!" I screamed, my voice echoing through the dimly lit room. Within moments, Mateo, Landon, and Storm burst in, their faces flushed with urgency and confusion."Clara, what happened?" Landon was the first to kneel beside us, his eyes wide with concern as he assessed the scene. Mateo followed, his expressio
ROBERTO"What happened?" I groaned, struggling to sit up in my bed. A wave of dizziness washed over me, and my eyelids felt heavy as if weighted down by exhaustion. I could barely manage to pry them open."Alpha? Are you okay? So you need anything?" Maria's voice rang out, filled with concern and a barrage of questions.The pain in my head throbbed as I attempted to process her words. "I'm fine, so please leave.""But-""I said I'm fine, Maria. Just leave me alone for now.""Should I get the doctor? You seemed exhausted...""What part of leave me alone, don't you understand?!" I snapped harshly."She sighed softly. "Okay, Alpha. If you need anything, please just let me know. Mateo is right outside," She replied."If I need anything, I will let you know," I snapped again, my irritation bubbling to the surface. With a nod, she exited my room, leaving me in a silence that felt both heavy and comforting.A few moments later, the door creaked open again. "Didn't I just say-""It is me, Rob
ROBERTO"What do you mean she committed suicide?!" I yelled out in shock and anger.Mateo's heart raced as he struggled to steady his fraying nerves. "Alpha, JM sorry. But this morning, when the maid assigned to her was supposed to deliver breakfast, she entered the cell and found her lying on the floor. The guards opened the gates, only to discover that she had slit her own throat.""That doesn't make any sense! Weren't the guards meant to watch her?" My voice trembled with disbelief, a mixture of anger and fear swirling within me."Alpha, the guards usually stayed outside the cell, merely observing to ensure no one attempted to sneak in," Mateo replied, his voice low and regretful."They also had to monitor whoever came in and out just to prevent her breaking out." He explained further."What are you trying to tell me then?! J made a fucking deal on her head! If that backfires and Wyatt finds out""Find out what?" Alpha Williams's voice spoke from behind me. "Good morning my son, wh
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
