Clara's POV
Nicholas 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 the day I showed up with my bags in his pack.
I stood up from the bed and entered the bathroom to dress and put my makeup on. Nicholas was too busy with his phone.
I'm sure he was texting another girl. I came out of the bathroom and he still did not notice me. “ Nick, have you taken notes of all I asked for?”
Nicholas nodded his head. “I'll have asked the servants to give you all that you want.”
Nick was the name I gave him when we started our affair.
I leaned on his arm for support when we were about to leave the room.
As usual, I claimed it was to support me from the pain I felt on my intestines.
When we reached the garden, he laid out the checked garden mat and put some pillows on it to give me extra support.
He scooped me gently off the floor and lowered me on the mat.
Even though I lied about the nausea, I did feel a certain type of relief.
I was very sure the baby was going to be a girl. I loved the scent of flowers too much.
Nicholas stood still for sometime. I knew he was mind-linking with someone.
It did not take long before his beta came out of the blues. He seemed stressed.
His beta was also as fine as him.
“Alpha. I tried to mind-link you but the mind-link kept disconnecting,” the beta was panting as he was speaking.
Was he running? It seemed like he was chasing something or something bigger than him was chasing him rigorously.
“Alpha. Alpha..there's a..” the beta was speaking incoherently.
I kind of figured that he was not speaking incoherently. He didn't just want to say whatever was on his mind in front of me.
“Someone! Get him a glass of water!” Nicholas commanded and the servants began to scurry Helter skelter.
A blonde male servant gave him a glass of water and he gulped it up quickly. I would have offered him some of my water, but it was in a personal jug. Also, everyone knew that pregnant women did not walk around without water.
The beta was finally calm. “You look like you just came out of a boxing room. Is there any problem?”
“Alpha, I need to show you something. I also need to tell you something very important, but it cannot be here. Can I have your time?” The beta asked as his eyes kept darting from mine to Nicholas’ and from Nicholas’ to mine.
I folded my face into an unattractive frown. We just came here and we had just started the picnic.
Why was he leaving so soon?
“Clara. I'll be back okay?”
“Promise?”
“I promise. I won't take too much time because of you.” Nicholas was assuring me. He was acting softer. I was winning. He was slowly entering my grasp.
“The baby says goodbye. He also says if you don't come back early, he'll be mad at you.” I teased Nicholas and blew a kiss at him.
Normal Nicholas would have warned me because of his stupid Luna. This time around he smiled and went away with his Beta.
When I found out that I was pregnant, my mother was very furious.
She did not believe that a lady should get pregnant out of marriage.
She was a very reserved and quiet wolf. She was also extremely stoic.
She rained hell on me and asked me to abort it. She offered to take me to the doctor's place.
I declined. Why would I want to abort the baby that belonged to the man that I loved?
I played along with her and told her I had taken the abortion pills. I traveled to visit one of my friends in her pack in Amsterdam.
I spent the whole Christmas and new years there.
When the weather got warmer, I came back to the pack with a six month pregnancy.
My mother was bamboozled. She gave me a dirty slap and my father asked me to go back to the home of the Alpha that made me pregnant.
They did not allow me to enter the house. My father threatened to align with other packs and fight with the Alpha responsible for it.
He said the Alpha had to marry me. Knowing my father very well, he was capable of it.
My father, Alpha Carl, had one of the biggest packs in this kingdom. His pack was the second biggest after Nicholas'
Despite that, I had never been lucky with finding a mate. People claimed my father was evil and they stayed away from us.
All my mates always rejected me. They wanted nothing to do with me. I refused to marry a poor man.
All the alpha's only used me for pleasure. Bad luck?
But I had sworn to myself that I had to be wedded to an Alpha. It had to be by hook or by crook.
Nicholas did keep to his word. He came back immediately when he said he would and we had a great time together.
I was showing him some celebrities from a sports magazine and he was analyzing them to make funny jokes.
I finally had a bit of happiness until the witch showed up.
She tried to challenge me but Nicholas was there for me. This made me love him even more. Ugh!
After Nicholas had put her in her place and her maid left, Nicholas gave me some words of assurance.
“I'll always protect this baby, okay?” he then rubbed my belly.
I hugged him. He embarrassed his Luna for me. He stood up for me? He caused a scene for me? I thought I was winning when I heard more words from his mouth.
“My Luna. I have to apologize to her.”
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 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
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 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
