Chapter 11

CLARA The week had rolled by and soon it was weekend, time for Roberto to return. I didn't even know whether or not I looked forward to his return. I had found comfort in watching movies on my phone. Watching them on the TV just seemed to be so boring, so I'd cuddle up under my duvet, with my earplugs and watch movies all day. Since the 'bloody hand men' incident, I had given up on anything 'exploring' in this house. Maria had asked for details but I had blatantly ignored her. She'll probably think I was crazy. To begin with, no one was in the observatory nor the library when I went in there and no one had climbed up those steps either. So how did those men come from there? Or have I started seeing ghosts? Yet, why did the man's hand feel so real? A ghost won't have a strong grip on you, will it? How about the toilet incident? I know I saw Roberto. I know I did. Yet, Maria said he wasn't back. What was wrong with me? I got under the duvet after I was done dressing up. I definitel

Chapter 12

CLARA Raelene and I had been running for nearly an hour if not more and now we stood still, looking around us. Before now, we had been running in circles around the mansion. How did we get out of that circle? “What now Rae?” ‘Are you asking me that human? Didn't we run together?’ I groaned. Can't she even make it a little better? ‘Let's explore a little anyway’. Oh no no. “Rae, I'd suggest we turn back the way we came and find a way out”. ‘And I suggest we explore. You're in my body now. I make the rules, you follow. “Are you for real Rae?” She was utterly insane right now. ‘Nope. I'm for fake’. She trudged forward proudly and I huffed, annoyed that she wasn't listening to me. I certainly didn't have a good feeling about this. In fact, since my last adventure, I had given up on exploring. I was still very shaken by the incident. We got to a large water fountain and I gasped. How on Earth did such a beauty get to this location? ‘Would you have seen or enjoyed this sight if

Chapter 13

ROBERTO My trip had to be cut short. Or rather, I cut it short because as much as I'd hate to admit it, I was missing Cassandra. Just staring at those blue eyes of hers was enough to make me drown, like in an ocean. Earlier in the morning, I had phoned home and told Maria I would be returning but no one should make mention of it to Cassandra. I wanted to surprise her. What I didn't expect was to find her in the shooting range. The minute I had gotten back to the mansion, I went up excitedly to her bedroom, only to meet an empty room. Getting back to the kitchen, I asked Maria about her whereabouts but she had no idea. I was scared, especially after what happened during my trip. The guards outside finally told me she went to the training ground but on getting there, I couldn't find her. I was ecstatic. Her scent was so faint, almost not there. My mind raced in a thousand different dimensions till Leonardo spoke. ‘Let me take control human’. I shifted into my wolf immediately. The

Chapter 14

CLARA Fuck it! Fuck it!! Fuck it!!! What was wrong with me? I just nearly exposed a million-dollar secret out of anger. Who was I angry at? Roberto. Why was I angry at him? No idea. I was supposed to be grateful to him for saving me from those men and that serum. Then why was I angry? What's with the attitude? The minute I knew those men were Roberto's, my brain had sort of snapped. The library issue we had wasn't even enough, now we were adding another in the woods. But how could I be so angry that I made a slip that Cassandra stole my life? He'll definitely know I'm not that I'm not the Cassandra that I claim to be. Or maybe not. Groaning, I slammed my fist on the bed. Could my life get any worse? A knock on the door. "Who's there?" "Luna it's me, Maria. Are you okay?" I didn't want anyone's pity. Not now. I didn't even want anything to do with anybody in this house right now. "I'm fine". I tried my best not to shout at her. I heard her departing footsteps and groan

Chapter 15

ROBERTO I returned to my room, boiling in anger. What was wrong with this Cassandra of a girl? She was really testing my patience and it was beginning to wear thin. ‘Calm down human’. “Really Leo? Few minutes ago I was the one trying to calm you down. If I wasn't strong, I would have shifted ”. ‘I understand. But she's our mate. We have to take it easy on her. There's probably something she wants to talk about and can't. We'll have to be patient till she's ready to come around. “There's something and if she won't tell me, I will dig it myself”. ‘I don't think that will be a good idea human. Digging into the life of our mate when she's not given us the permission’. “But what if she never tells us? She's lying to us about something. It's very obvious. And I know it has something to do with our marriage and her family. Didn't you hear the last thing she said? She said she wanted to be Clara again. She's hiding something and from the looks of it, she's definitely not telling us any

Chapter 16

CLARA When I woke up the next morning, it was around 9 am. I took a deep breath and hit the bathroom to brush my teeth. Checking my face in the mirror, dark circles had formed due to the lack of sleep. I could hardly sleep after that scream. Heaven knows when I slept off. "Good morning Luna". Everyone I passed by greeted me. When I opened the kitchen door, I stilled. "Good morning Luna". All the workers there greeted me. This caused him to turn around and we just stared at each other. A part of me was screaming at me to go, leave the kitchen, and come back when he was gone. Another said to do my thing and ignore him. Another said to engage in a conversation with him and ask him about the scream last night. I decided to merge the last two. "Good morning". I climbed the stool opposite him and flashed a small smile. He looked up from his plate. "Good morning". He didn't return the smile. I noticed he had dark circles underneath his eyes. He looked terrible like he didn't.........

Chapter 17

CLARA I ran my fingers through my hair time after time. "I'm really sorry Roberto. I really didn't know it was out of bounds. I was just wandering around and found the place ". He stood still, eyes trained on me, brows flat, face void of any emotion. My heart thumped loudly against my rib cage. Was he going to get more upset? Was this the secret hallway Maria said was forbidden? What had I gotten myself into? He walked stealthily towards me like the predator he was. I could only walk backward till my back hit the telescope. Raising his both hands, he put it on either side of me, caging me between him and the telescope. I didn't make a mistake in moving else I'd be up against him for he was close. Very close I was breathing the same air as he. His eyes bore down into mine and then slowly down my lips. I unconsciously licked it at the very time and I watched his Adam's apple bob up and down slowly as if he was swallowing a large lump. My eyes trailed back up to his face. It was still

Chapter 18

CLARA A smile graced my face as I opened my eyes slowly. I turned around, expecting to feel the warmth emanating from Roberto's body but I was met with emptiness. I flung my eyelids open. Roberto was not in the observatory. So much for expecting to wake up in his arms. "Hey baby". His voice interrupted my thoughts. "Hey". I smiled. In his hand was a tray of coffee and cookies. I can't imagine that I had thought of him badly. "Got you something for your tummy. I thought you might be hungry after our yunno, strength-sapping exercise last night". He winked and I blushed. " Thank you Roberto. That's very thoughtful of you". He lay it on the blanket and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. Sitting opposite me, he crossed his legs and watched me with a smile. "What?" My cheeks had turned red. "Nothing. Just admiring the beauty goddess in front of me and wondering what I did to deserve a mate like you". " There you go again with the word. I thought we were just married based on a cont

Chapter 19

CLARA. He knew. My mind went berserk. He knew. Roberto knew who I was. He knew. My face and emotions were nothing but horrified. I shook my head. Our eye contact had not broken and Roberto had not moved an inch after he had dropped that bomb. Was he waiting for my response? Well, I definitely don't have any right now. So I did what came to my mind. Run. I bolted for the door, totally forgetting about my blanket in the observatory. I didn't need it right now. Rushing down the stairs, I didn't dare check if Roberto was following me. I only hoped and prayed that he wasn't. By the time I got to our hallway, I turned, trying to control my breath. He wasn't following me. Better. I dashed into my room, panting as though I was chased by a lion. He knew. How would he think of me now? I locked my door and slid down to the ground. I could have avoided this but I didn't. And now he knew. He knew! It was all my fault. No. It wasn't my fault. It was my father's. Wait. My father was tryi

Chapter 20

ROBERTO I watched her run out of the observatory and I stood still trying to wrap my head around everything. So it was true. She had been lying to me. Her parents had lied to me as well. "Alpha. Your phone". My beta was at the door of the observatory. "Let the call wait". I was pacing up and down. How could she lie to me? Just before I came to the observatory last night, I had asked Mateo to research Alpha William's family, his daughters, and everything and then get back to me. This morning when I went to get her coffee and cookies, he showed me what he had found and just like suspected, my beloved wife was not the bride I was meant to be wedded to in the first place. She was the other sister, Clara Williams. Cassandra Williams had not been seen since the day I got married. It was at that moment I started fixing the puzzle pieces. Cassandra Williams, my supposed bride had run away on our wedding day and Clara was asked to take her place and marry me. Now I could see why she des
