All Chapters of 121 Days With My Mate : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Clara's POV The minute we heard the news. We were out of our room, I didn't even change my camisole and shorts. Not that anyone will care about my exposing body when there's so much dangling on our heads. "I know you are tensed but please baby slow down. I can't risk you falling and hurting yourself and our child" Alastair pointed, then only I noticed that I was walking much faster than I should. I smiled at him and let him guide me with his palm on my back. I'm still in my early pregnancy stage, but the baby bump is a little, very little visible. Every time I look at it, my heart started melting. God! Why can't I have a simple life with my family? Please don't steal this family from me too. I can't live with it. I blinked the tears that were about to come out at any moment. Thankfully, we reached Alastair'e house office. Everyone was gathered there. Other than the Alphas, a few pack mates were there too, including Seline. She seems much more worried than anyone in the room. I

Alastair's POV (Five Years back) "Cristina, where are you taking me exactly?" I asked my childhood best friend and Gabriel's soon-to-be mate. Cristina. She turned around walking backwards, smiling at me "What? The scary Big Bad Alpha King terrified of me?" She said teasingly. I rolled my eyes at her. "Yeah, I'm very scared probably shitting my pants" sarcastically I said. She laughed in her sexy way. Although it doesn't attract me in a sexual way. I think she is cute, like my baby sister Seline. Gabriel would have twisted my butt if he would have found us joking like this in the middle of a forest. "Jokes apart I seriously want to talk with you about something and I thought I should show you something special too. That's why we are here in the middle of nowhere" Cristina said dramatically. I walked close to her. I find her very annoying but she still manages to stand alive. If anyone would have managed to annoy me I would have been watching while crows feed on their corpse.

Alastair's POV I drooled at the sight of her as she lay beneath me like the goddess she is. I sneaked my finger beneath the strap of her dress. She twitched "Why, no please no slow" She insisted her eyes closed. "You look so good beneath me vulnerable at my mercy. I want nothing more than to fuck you but not like you want baby. I want to take my time to cherish your body before I made love to you "I told her the truth. She blinked up at me, her rosy lips parted. She doesn't know how I want to use her mouth to sate my hunger. If she knows my dirty mind and the things it fancy about her, she would be damn. "It's the sweetest thing someone has ever said to me, you don't need to muster me to get into my you know my below region," She said in a teasing manner with a small cute smile. Her words registered a little later. I blinked. And blinked. Sitting up straight, I started to walk away from her. "Alastair! Where are you going?" She said I did not turn around. But I don't have t

Alastair' Pov. As I entered the room, I saw Clara lying on a hospital bed, hooked to various machines and tubes. Her face was pale and her eyes were closed. She looked so fragile and vulnerable, like a porcelain doll that could break at any moment. I felt a surge of emotions as I walked towards her. I felt anger at the rogue who had hurt her, guilt for not being there to protect her, fear of losing her and our pup, and love for her as my mate and the mother of my child. I reached her side and gently took her hand in mine. It was cold and limp, but I could feel a faint pulse. I brought it to my lips and kissed it softly. "Clara, my love, can you hear me?" I whispered in her ear. "Please wake up, please. I need you. We need you." I begged her, hoping that she would open her eyes and smile at me. But she didn't. She remained still and silent, as if in a deep sleep. I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I looked at her. How could this happen to us? We were supposed to be happy, to start

(Clara's POV)I felt a surge of guilt and grief wash over me as I realized I was the reason another person had lost his life.Gabriel.He had been a complex and mysterious figure in my life. First an enemy, then a friend, then an enemy again. And now he was gone, leaving behind a trail of secrets and questions.What did they want from me? Why were they trying so hard to end me?I had so many questions with no answers. When Alastair came back, I had healed from the physical wounds, but the scars on my heart seemed to have no cure.He walked into the room with a somber expression on his face. He came over to the hospital bed and sat beside me. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close to him. I snuggled into his embrace, craving his comfort."What happened?" I asked him softly.He sighed deeply before answering. "He's dead. It's confirmed. We're back to square one. Clueless." He said, staring at the wall.I processed his words silently in my head. While they saddened me, there wa
