All Chapters of Substitute Bride To The Alpha: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

CLARAAfter the run with Rae, I shifted back to my human form and headed back into the palace, everything felt somehow off immediately after I got in so I decided to explore the palace once again, this time heading for the painting room. "Being a while since I last touched paint" The nostalgic thought of me painting and drawing made me smile, I skipped while humming to myself until I finally got there... I think. It was a big door but somehow colorful, the door was designed with gold and silver then black traced on it, I couldn't describe it but it was beautiful, I gently pushed the door and found myself opening my mouth wide open. It was A FREAKING BIG HALL FULL OF ARTWORKS AND PAINTING EQUIPMENTS!!! I squeaked like a child and started admiring every piece of art I saw. First, I walked past the shelf filled with clay models, pots, and stuff like that then I noticed a box filled with Wait what are those? I picked up a strange-looking object that seemed interesting but creepy so I

CLARA"Fuck this" I muttered unable to resist the urge to curse countless times, what is so hard there? I know something is going on but why won't anyone tell me?? Knock knockI ignored Knock knock knock"Who is there?!" "I am sorry Luna, it is me Lillian your handmaiden,""Come in," I sighed and sat on my bed"Good morning Luna" She bowed "I'm sorry for the disturbance, but breakfast is served,""I will pass,""How about I bring it upstairs if you don't want to eat downstairs?""No""Alpha personally said we should make sure you at least eat something, you skipped dinner yesterday,"Oh, now he cares? I mentally shook my head in disbelief at how confusing and unpredictable Roberto can be sometimes. "I said I will pass,""But-" She attempted to speak but kept quiet when I turned to face her angrily. "But what?" I said not hiding the annoyance creeping in. "Nothing My Luna, I will leave now, if you need anything please call me.""I won't for now, you can leave,"She nodded and le

ROBERTOI sat in my office paying half attention to what everyone was saying, it was a meeting about a new pack trying to invade our lands. "I suggest we take them out?" Alex, my right-hand man suggested. "Taking them out would cause war," I heard another voice say."But they asked for it, what do you say My Alpha, give your orders and I'll wipe them out immediately," Alex turned towards me with a bow.I wasn't even paying attention anymore, my head was hurting, and lack of sleep was really taking a toll on me. I couldn't even think straight and I didn't want to make a bad decision, Leo had also been quiet ever since the meeting started. "Let's postpone this meeting, I have a slight headache,""But," Alex tried to object but kept shut when I looked at him. "Of course Alpha," They all bowed and exited my office, I summoned Maria immediately. "My Alpha, you summoned me?" She said as she entered my office."Ah yes, I need coffee," I said as I rubbed my temples trying to soothe the pa

CLARAI woke up in Roberto's arms, I looked up to see that he was fast asleep, thankfully the dark circles around his eyes seemed to disappear a bit, I quietly got up trying to make sure not to wake him up but I felt someone pull me by hand back to the bed. "Where are you going?" I heard his deep voice say but when I looked at him, his eyes were still tightly shut. "Oh hi, good morning, I thought you were asleep and I wanted to use the bathroom.""Oh, alright then, but come back immediately after you are done," he let go of my hand and turned over making him lay on his side. "Sure," I smiled and pecked his cheek. I tiptoed to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror, sighing deeply I turned on the tap and splashed water on my face, I still couldn't believe it, all along it was Roberto, my heart sank just remembering his words from yesterday. Poor guy he's been going through all that all alone, not only he didn't get to enjoy life with his mother, he dreamt of her death every

CLARA "Come on, let's continue with our stroll before we were interrupted.” "Correction, we didn't even get started before we were interrupted," I rolled my eyes. "Your servants sometimes just don't know when to disturb.” He laughed and took my hand in his, and we both walked out of his office, he first showed me some rooms I hadn't been to, thankfully nothing creepy or dangerous was going on in there, after walking around the palace for almost an hour, we stepped out of the palace. "Well that was nice," He breathed. "Yeah, even though I've seen the majority of everything you showed me, I still enjoyed it.” "Hmhm” "Where are you going?" I asked as he started walking ahead of me. "Come, you will see," I followed him and we both stopped when we got to a big tree, we both stood in front of the tree, admiring it while Roberto took a deep breath and smiled. "My mother used to bring me here when I was little, each time she felt stressed, she would take me for a walk and
