Lahat ng Kabanata ng Substitute Bride To The Alpha: Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

CLARAI took a deep breath as I stepped into the hospital room, the sterile scent of antiseptic filling my nostrils. The fluorescent lights hummed overhead, casting a harsh glow on the two beds where Storm and Landon lay.The sight of them, pale and bandaged, sent a wave of anxiety and worry crashing over me. I glanced back at Roberto who retreated to a corner, his expression unreadable."Hey, Landon! Storm!" I called out softly, moving closer to their beds, I sat in between both beds so it would be easier to talk to both men.Mateo and the other guards were placed in different rooms. It was just Storm and Landon in this one.Storm cracked an eye open, a weak smile tugging at his lips, while Landon tried to sit up but I warned him not to."You could pop a stitch, so sit your ass down," I joked but at the same time, my tone was serious."Hey," Landon waved. "Good morning Luna!""What's with the sudden title now? You hit your head that hard?" I laughed."Well, you are the Luna, it's onl

1ROBERTO"Where's he?!" I yelled as I stormed the halls searching for Alpha Williams. Maria followed behind me, her eyes laced with worry as she panicked each time I yelled "I'm sorry Alpha, but immediately you left Alpha Williams left too, he said he was returning back to his palace," Maria explained trying to calm me down."He left?""Yes," she nodded. "Just all of a sudden, he also took some guards too..."I sighed and leaned against the wall opposite me, I looked down and saw Clara staring up at me with questionable eyes."Okay," I ran down the stairs, but I was stopped when Clara stood in front of me with a scowl."Where to again?""I need to see your father," I replied curtly."Why?""It's personal,""The fuck you mean personal!" She stomped her foot on the floor. "He's my father and you're my husband!""Okay?" I arched a brow."Roberto, what's going on?" Her eyes began to water and it made me sick, I never wanted to make her cry but here I am...what's happening?'Ignore her,'

CLARA"The Elders are going to hate you, you know that?"Landon said the moment Roberto and I stepped outside the throne room."You weren't even there, what the fuck do you know?" Roberto snapped."I have ears," Landon replied with a shrug. "Moreover, do you think it's a good idea?"I stopped in my tracks and turned towards Landon, he frowned when he noticed the look on my face."He's my father, Landon, I understand your concern. But he's my family, I already have a missing sister, and can't afford to lose another no matter what or how useless they are.""I'm sorry, I just want you both to be safe. It seems like everyone has it hot for you two,""And I'll take care of it, Nolan and Wyatt are finally over. I don't think I'd have any more issues to deal with again for now,""Ehnnn..." Landon sighed and gestured over to the Elders who were gathered at the staircase behind us, the moment they sighted us, they bowed and exited the mansion, using the front door."You may not have enemies but

CLARAI lay in my bed, tossing and turning, unable to shake the thoughts racing through my mind. I glanced over at Roberto, who was curled up on my bed."You know, I really wish I could sleep," I whispered, my voice barely above a murmur. Roberto lifted his head, his eyes watching me intently as if he understood my struggle.Maybe if I just close my eyes for a minute... I thought to myself, but the moment I tried to, my mind flooded with worry."What if mom doesn't get better? What if I can't handle this?" I sighed, feeling the weight of my fears pressing down on me.Roberto padded over and nuzzled against my side, his warmth a small comfort in the darkness."Thanks for being here," I said softly, running my fingers through his hair. "I don't know what I would do without you.""That's why I'm here." He replied with a deep sleepy voice which put me at ease.As the hours ticked by, I found myself staring at the ceiling, counting sheep hopefully falling asleep in the process.Finally, Ex

CLARAA week had passed since that day in the hospital, and the weight of my father's death still hung heavily in the air. My mother had been discharged, but I could see the shadows of grief etched on her face. She had returned to the palace, a place that once felt like home but now more like a prison.I decided to move in with her just to keep her company, but I wasn't so sure if it was a good idea. I didn't help much, to be honest, but she claimed it was nice to have me around after so long.I would have preferred we stayed over at my palace, but that's where Dad killed himself. Which was why Roberto suggested I stay at hers instead.I love that man so much and it hurts me that we haven't had our couple time yet. I miss him in every way.As I walked through the vast hallways, the silence was deafening. The grand rooms felt so empty and foreign. K found my mother sitting in the parlor, staring out the window, lost in thought."Mom," I said softly, taking a seat beside her. "I have be
