Clara’s POV
I woke up that morning with a terrible headache.
Oh no, don't tell me it was happening again–Morning sickness?
I'll be damned. I just entered my third trimester.
I had morning sickness in my first trimester and after that, it stopped.
I did not expect that my third trimester would come with another round of the dreaded and constant vomiting, stooling and a headache.
After I finished my first round of vomiting in the bathroom, I took a late shower and brushed my hair.
I loved to look visually pleasing so I did my makeup and wore something sexy. If I wanted Nicholas to wife me up, I had to look sexy at all times for him.
I went to knock on Nicholas' door. He did not open.
I saw one of the maids walking with an empty tray of food. “Hey! Come here!”
The maid acted kike she did not hear me. She kept walking away. I angrily dragged her to where I was standing. “Are you deaf? Are you stupid?”
“Why did you act like you did not hear me calling your name?” I then pulled her ears. “Stupid thing!”
She winced and touched the part of her ear that I just pulled. She's lucky I was not her Luna.
If I were married to Nicholas, I swear I'd send her to the dungeons.
“Where is your Alpha?” I asked with a demeaning tone.
“He’s in his study,”she replied. Good! This time around she answered me meekly.
“Okay. I want to see him. Take me to him. Where's the study?” I was curious. I needed some company.
I was tired of staying in that room all alone.
“The Alpha asked to be alone. He is working. He does not want to see anyone.”
Rubbish! What does he mean by that? I'm the mother of his first child.
“Okay, come close to me,” I urged the maid. She walked closer to me with slow, precise steps.
“Good girl. Now do you want us to be friends? I could give you one or two things, money, clothes…” I tempted her with all the good things I knew she would love to have.
She scratched her head like she was considering my offer. Was it not enticing enough?
“Okay,” I doubled down. “I will give you $200 monthly as a tip. If you serve me well, I will make it bigger. You can even earn up to $1000 monthly. All you have to do is to follow what I tell you.”
I did not even finish my sentence and she was already agreeing. The money was a large sum of money for her.
Urgh! Poverty!
I hated being around poor people. They irritated me.
Greedy goat!
“There’s one rule!” I had to make things clear.
“No one had to know we were speaking. Act like you hate me. You will sneak into my room when no one is seeing you. Is that understood?”
“Yes. Yes ma'am,” she agreed to my terms.
“You can call me Madam Clara.”
“Alright. Thank you Madam Clara.” She was already thanking me. I had a feeling I could trust this one.
“What is your name, maid?!”
“My name is Hilda. Hilda, Ma'am.”
“Alright, Hilda, you will go into your Alphas study, act like something bad has happened to me and you heard me screaming for help. Tell him to hurry to my room, quick! I will give you your first pay tomorrow.” I told her and she rushed and kept the empty tray by the wall in the hallway and rushed towards the study.
I used that time to rush to my room door. Once I reached my room, I darted into the shower, quickly washing off all that makeup and I took out my clothes.
I laid on the bed with a bra and no panties.
After a few minutes, Nicholas barged into my room with a concerned face.
That maid had done her job! Good girl! I'll be tipping her. She will be my spy, my eyes and ears in this pack.
“Clara!” He yelled as he touched my face. He put an ear close to my heart to check my pulse.
“Are you okay?” He gently shook me.
I pretended like he had just woken me up.
“Oh! Nicholas, I thought you were not going to come. My belly hurts. It's the baby. She's kicking aggressively and the nauseousness I feel is back,” I adjusted myself to lay on his lap since he sat on the bed.
I stared at him. Nicholas was still so handsome like the first time I met him. Nicholas was really tall.
Tall like 6”5 tall. He had dark brown eyes and he cut his dark brown hair into a faded low cut with the edges of his hair being nicely arranged by a clipper.
Nicholas was just too handsome. Hirs pillowy lips, his husky voice, his withoratitive nature, I was getting wet already…
I wanted him all to myself and I was going to have it.
I refused to say a word, I just leaned in and kissed him.
Nicholas being the womanizer he was could not refuse me. He kissed me too and I took my time to suck his lips.
I touched his hands and tried to take his fingers down to my core….I was in the mood.
Pregnancy horniness was no joke.
“No..no Clara. I can't..” These were the words Nicholas just said.
“The doctor advised me to have sex frequently with my partner. He said it would help with the morning illness. He said it would also help reduce the risk of a miscarriage.” Nicholas was easily manipulated.
“My Luna…Charlotte. She's already furious at me. I don't want to give her more reasons to be annoyed.”
“My belly!” I squirmed in pain. Nicholas plopped up from the bed in pain.
I hated being refused. So I had to come up with something for us to still spend some time together. And in Charlotte's face.
Why won't she just go away?
“Let's sit by the garden. I will need your body warmth and the scent of fresh flowers.”
Nicholas was reluctant. He was scared of his Luna.
“It's for the baby…”
Nicholas agreed to it. This was just the beginning, Charlotte. I'm coming for your throne, I would use this opportunity to snatch him from you.
I would strip him out of his love for you… I will take everything from you…including your life.
Charlotte's point of viewMy maid, Eloise, led me away from the scene and I walked with my head facing the ground.My Wolf winced inside of me. She hated Nicholas for this.“I've told you to reject this idiot and move on, you'd never listen. Your mate bond with him is fading. We are getting weaker. Can't you see?” She howled inside of me. “If I catch that idiot, I swear I’d skin him alive. Look what he's turned you into. A laughing stock.”I could understand her pain. It was not easy to just pull away from someone you loved.Something inside of me told me that one day, Clara would pack up and leave. My staff, they all stared at me. They all witnessed the embarrassment I faced this morning. I was too ashamed to look at their faces.Nicholas threatened to slap me. My mate threatened to lock me up in a room because of a lady. A mutt named Clara. It was a very big slap to my face.I saw her. Zoey.She paused the work she was given to stare at me.Gosh!! My heart began to beat fast.Th
Clara's POVNicholas had agreed to follow me to the garden for a picnic. “Ummm…Nick, I need some canapes. I also want some red grapes, quavas and some mangoes. I continued making demands of all the things that I wanted. The grass in the area that I would lay the mat also needed to be mowed properly.I was allergic to grass and would feel a kind of way if it touched my skin or anything. I was already a princess in my father's castle and I was used to having the best. Why would I settle for less in a man's pack?I had other boyfriends but no one of them was rich as Nicholas.Nicholas was the wealthiest, strongest, most handsome, he had the best dick game and the had the largest pack. I had tried to seduce him into ending his marriage and taking me as his Luna, but he told me he loved only one woman which was his mate, Charlotte and whatever we were doing was just for fun and pleasure.When I began to nag him into changing his mind, he cut me off and refused to speak to me, not until
Nicholas’ POVImmediately Charlotte left the scene and I was wrapped up in Clara's embrace, I could feel the judgemental stares of my workers on me. “YOUR WORKERS WILL HATE YOU!” MY WOLF WAS IRRITATED.“Do you want them to think their alpha is incompetent?” He continued.“Stop. You're making me feel like I'm one evil villian in a story.” My wolf knew how to get to me.“Of course. You're a villain. It's just that you're a villain in your own story. You're using your own hands to spoil your life.” My wolf continued.My wolf loved to speak in parables. What was he trying to say? Why could he not be coherent? I won't lie though… I was beginning to enjoy Clara's company.She was just being so sweet, so tender and so soft-spoken these days. My heart began to pound in my chest. I did not have any ounce of feelings for Clara. I just did this because I wanted her to feel relaxed and happy before she gave birth.I loved Charlotte for real. Charlotte was the love of my life and my childhood l
Charlotte's point of view A week had passed since my husband, my supposed Alpha, had forced himself on me.I told him that the doctor had asked me to stay away from any form of intimacy till my wounds healed, but I was lying. I had already decided that this time, even if he bought all the designers in the world, I would not forgive him for what he did to me.The way he tried to apologize that day was so hypocritical.He apologised to me like he had the right to my forgiveness. The only person I had seen during my confinement was my personal maid, Eloise.I wondered what Clara and Nicholas were now up to.I wondered if they still had picnics in the garden.I thought about Zoey..ugh! Zoey.I just hoped they treated her well. I hoped the head maid had used this opportunity where I was not up and about to apportion her to all sorts of rigorous chores.The type we gave to only rogues and prisoners.I thought about Zoey everyday. Did she have more clothes? Had she seen her period for the
Charlotte's point of viewI held the bottle of champagne and was making my way to Zoey's room when I overheard Clara's voice ahead of me.The room Nicholas had moved her into was a grand room that was two rooms away from mine.The rooms in this line were reserved for royal guests and visitors. How dare Nicholas move this tramp to my reserved room?I personally designed all of these rooms. I could also hear Clara's loud voice. She was giving orders.“Move this ugly ottoman from here. I wonder who put this. Is this the 1950’s?” She was asking them to move stuff out of the room.Servants were coming out from that direction. I was beginning to rethink my decision.What if someone saw me go into Zoey's room?I wanted to pass Clara's room when I heard her shouting my name. “Charlotte!”I refused to stop. I heard footsteps behind me. Clara was running towards me. She touched me and I flinched. I stepped forward, turned around and stopped walking.She then stood in front of me, heaving.“I j
Nicholas' point of viewI knew my brother was going to be here today. The rogue attacks had gotten worse and we had to try our best to secure the perimeter.I invited some Alphas to come over too for lunch. Last week, one of the rogues wounded my beta severely.We set traps for them. They entered the traps but before my soldiers could get them, they had escaped. It seemed someone was here giving them information.It seemed we had a middle man problem. I left Charlotte in the room. Today was the end of our bonding moon. I called it a bonding moon because I used the week to bond and have lots of sex with her.My Alpha energy was replenishing and I felt like I was strong enough to go camping in the woods. I would go with my beta, my brother, Landon, my friend, Alpha Liam and a few other alphas that would volunteer. I also made sure to do right by Clara so that my unborn baby's blessings can be transferred to me. I moved Clara into a bigger room, paid for her to have the best interior
Charlotte's point of viewWhen Clara walked into the garden, I felt like breaking one of the wine bottles on her. Luna Chloe would spread this gossip to all my friends. I was very sure.I could already see the astonishing look on everyone's faces. Only the men managed to have a bit of composure. She even gave Nicholas a nick name. I could see that Nicholas was melting in embarrassment.He kept stealing glances at me to read my facial expression but I remained composed.“Stupid, stupid,” Cece, my wolf, had awoken from her sleep and slumber.I knew this was going to happen. Riley led me to the room that was given to her and her husband.The maid had just dropped us off. “If you need anything, you can always call the number on the room telephone. I'll be glad to be at your service,” the maid said and left.The room was not bad, but it needed a lot of work. It was kind of small. I wondered why Nicholas did not hand over the other big room to his brother.“Beautiful. Charlotte you guys a
Nicholas' point of view“Alright buddy. I'm coming.” Landon said to me from inside the room.Where is my Luna? Why did they lock the door? And why was everywhere so quiet?I had stood in front of the door for a long time–like ten minutes before knocking the door and I could hear moans and giggles.I thought it was Riley and Landon doing their thing, until I went to check my Luna's room and I could not find her.I checked the whole pack, again, she had disappeared.I remembered that she walked hand in hand with Riley back to her room.I do not trust Riley at all. I don't trust her with one bit in me, especially when it comes to my Luna.I had a feeling that she had been giving me Luna sexual advances. I know Charlotte is not a lesbian, I could swear it!Even if she were, I would not have a problem with it.Wait?! Did I just say that?! Yes! If she were a lesbian, I would have a very big problem with it.I hated lesbians, I hated lesbianism, the kingdoms hated it, the elders hated it, a
Zoey’s PovViewers discretion!!!I had just finished taking a shower. I felt so refreshed. I smelled like wood from earlier on so I had to wash every bad smell away.I put on a pink silky gown given to me by Miss Donna. I wondered why Miss Donna did not come to assign some duties to me today.I was expecting her. I also expected Lily as a guest, much later in the night. While trying to oil my hair, I heard a knock on the door.Oh! It's madam Donna.“Coming!!”Rizz had been really quiet today. She had not said a word since after I took her out to run. I rushed to put on my clothes and I opened the door.I was heavily shocked when I saw Charlotte standing in front of it. “Mmmhmmm…the prodigal lover is here…” Rizz had popped out of her hiding place.If I were not helpless in this pack, I would slam the door on her face.“Won't you let me come in?” Her voice was low, just above a whisper.I still stood by the door, wide-eyed, staring at Charlotte. So many mixed feelings coursed throug
Nicholas' PovI stepped on the balcony leading to the entrance of my office, ready to welcome Clara's father.Clara was probably making up in the room. She took time to come out.Besides, she was not my Luna. She could stand by my side to welcome her father. She would wait in the reception or stay behind in her room and wait till I called her out.Three black limousines packed in front of me and a man in suit came out from the driver's seat of the middle one.He opened the door and stood vigilantly by the side of the car. A and a short and stunted man popped out from the owner’s seat.Alpha Carl…The Alpha of Moon Light pack and Clara's father. Today was my first time setting my sights on him.I had heard tales of his ruthlessness amd bravery, but I had never crossed paths with him before.Clara was his carbon copy.They both had rounded eyes, thich eyes brows and small lips. The man in front of me had an unconcerned look on his face. He walked closer to where I was and inspected me
Zoey's povClara!!The devil's younger sister.This girl enjoyed torturing rogues in her father's pack.Clara was a lazy and saucy bitch!She was very rude, even to her own mother. The only person she could ot succeed being arrogant to, was her beloved father.They were like yin and yang. They were inseperable. Clara knew her father like the back of her hand and vise versa. Clara's father would never let her live in the pack of a man she was not married to. Seeing her here kind of puzzled me. The list of Clara's wickedness was too much to mention. If I wanted to list it on a tablet of stone, it would take a thousand years to finish.I saw Clara with a big, rounded baby bump. She was giving orders and yelling as usual at the maids. Was Clara the lady that Nicholas and Charlotte were arguing about?Was she the one that made Charlotte to cry the night she came to me for comfort?It seemed she had something in connection to Nicholas.But…but Charlotte had a boyfriend. She had a mate an
