Chapter 81

CLARAAfter a few days, I was later discharged. My mother visited me twice while I was still admitted, however, my father never showed up. He lied that he was occupied with work. Roberto felt irritated by his actions and called him an irresponsible father but he didn't care much. He already knew how useless my father was. After that day, Storm only came by once and it didn't end well, he and Roberto almost got into a fight and since Roberto was well- The Alpha of the most powerful clan, he had Storm thrown out. We fought about it for hours but I couldn't risk staying mad at him, I've missed him so much. While Landon, Maria, and Olivia came by. Olivia wouldn't stop crying so I left her in the hands of Landon, while Maria seemed very happy to have both me and Roberto back. Even tho she was the head maid, it was like she was our own mother. Personally, I'd pick her over mine who let my father kick me around but could I blame her though? "We are here." Roberto's words snapped me out o

CLARA"Clara?! Are you okay?!" Roberto asked as he ran towards me. I turned my head towards him and then back at what I was staring at. Nothing. Didn't someone just call my name now? Or have I started hallucinating? "Clara?""I'm fine," I replied as I swallowed hard trying to make sense of what just happened. "It's just. I thought I heard someone.""Really? When?""Just right now.. Or maybe it was you, I don't know.""Probably, come. Let's go inside, it's late already.""Okay."I walked beside him side by side in total silence, when I got to my room I turned around and bid him goodnight. "Goodnight Roberto."He scratched his head and opened his lips to say something but nothing came out. He just stared at me like he wasn't sure of what he wanted to say. "What?""Nothing," He forced a small smile. "Goodnight."As he turned to leave, I grabbed his arm. "What?" He asked as he looked over his shoulder. "Can I stay with you?"I wasn't sure why I asked that, I was okay staying alone b

CLARA"You both should lock the door next time please!" Landon yelled as he left and angrily shut the door. I arched a brow and looked at Roberto who seemed pissed off. "Wait. Why is he mad? He was the one who walked in on us.""I don't know, I don't care." He said and got off me and laid on the other side of the bed then turned away. Wait, why is he mad at me? It wasn't my fault. "Roberto?""Goodnight." He deadpan, his response almost made me throw a flip but I decided to let it go. With a huff I turned to the other side, that night the both of us slept with our backs turned to each other. The next morning. "Good morning Luna!" Olivia greeted me as I entered my room. "There is nothing good about the morning." I hissed as I walked past her and lay on my bed. By the time I woke up, Roberto was gone. I don't even understand him sometimes, His anger is just frustrating it wasn't my fault Landon ruined last night. Hell, I didn't even know the door was locked. "You okay Luna?""Y

CLARA"Who? How did it happen?" Roberto's voice was steady, but I could sense the tension radiating from him. I watched as Maria took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. "It was Seth. He was on patrol near the eastern border when he was ambushed. They found his body just moments ago."Ambushed? Could it be? Nolan? Wyatt? Or Alexander? My expression hardened. "Ambushed? By whom? We need answers Maria and we need them now, what happened?""I don't know Luna," Maria replied, her voice trembling. "But there were signs of a struggle, and... there were claw marks. I don't know it was just a random attack."Roberto's eyes widened. "Claw marks? Do you mean werewolves? Another pack?" He clenched his jaw and looked at Landon who seemed lost. "We need to see the body," Landon spoke up. "I have a bad feeling about this."I stepped closer to Maria, my voice softening as I noticed how tense and scared she was. "We will protect our pack, Maria. We always have, but right now we need to be str

CLARA"What the hell?" Roberto exclaimed, his voice a mix of disbelief and anger. "He was right here! How could he just disappear?"My eyes darted around the clearing, searching for any sign of what happened. "This doesn't make sense. Someone must have taken him, but how? When? Just one stupid wolf showed up and now we lost a dead body?! Just before our very own eyes?!"Landon coughed. "For the record, our backs were turned on the dead body... " I shot him a glare to shut up him. "No time for jokes.""Sorry." He shrugged. "But why? Who would do this?" Maria said as she scanned the area, Roberto who was silent bent down and picked up a paper that was next to a tree. That wasn't there moments ago... "What does it say?" I asked as I tried to peer over his shoulder. With a deep breath, he unfolded the note and read every word out loud. "Couldn't risk getting my plans exposed. Besides this is just a warning, next time it may be more." "Great," he grunted. "While I'm supposed to be ha

CLARA"What? What is it?"He shifted uncomfortably as he glanced over at Landon who just nodded and stood up."I'll see you guys later." He smiled and left the dining room leaving just me and Roberto. "Okay, goodnight," I said as he walked away but I guess he didn't hear me as he didn't reply. Roberto ran a hand through his hair, he looked troubled."I can't sleep," "Oh," I felt a rush of concern. "Is it about the attack? Are you worried about that?""Yeah," He admitted as he blew out a puff of air from his lips. "It's killing me actually, even though I try to hide it. I'm worried,""We are all," I stepped closer to him and used my hand to ruffle his hair. "It's fine, everything will be okay,""Will it?""I know so,"After a moment of silence, Roberto pulled me into a hug. "Thanks for being here," he said softly. "I'm your wife silly!" I chuckled as I playfully slapped his back. "I'm always and will be always here for you, I don't know if that makes sense and you understand what I

ROBERTOThe next day."Roberto, rethink this," Clara said with a scowl on her face as she stood in front of me blocking my way."Rethink what?""Meeting my father, he can't be trusted, and what could his army do for you that yours can't?"I scoffed as I picked up my jacket. "I don't know, betray me?""I know but...have a rethink, isn't it better you work with Storm? His armies are stronger,""Clara, we have talked about this. Enough about Storm." I could feel my anger slipping away but I was controlling it, I knew she only wanted to help."But, just trust me okay? He isn't like Damien. He is just being misunderstood."Before I could speak, Landon walked in. "Oh," he mouthed. "Am interrupting something?" He asked as he noticed the awkward situation."No," "Yes!" Clara hissed."Okay," Landon looked back and forth between me and her before leaving the room and shutting the door quietly behind him."I'm running late Clara, I already arranged a meeting with him last night and that's final

CLARAImmediately after Roberto left, I headed back to my room and called my mother. My curiosity was getting the best of me and I hated it, I also had a bad feeling about whatever Roberto was planning.My father can't be trusted especially not in a crucial time like this.After three rings, my mother picked."Hello," her voice was warm but her tone seemed rushed. "Are you busy mother?"She let out a deep breath. "Sorry about that, I was in the middle of something. How have you been Clara? It's been a while,""I'm fine mother, you?""I'm doing quite alright..."I could feel her tension, did Roberto do something when I was admitted? I hated that the past few times we both seemed like strangers."Uhm mother, I wanted to ask. Did Dad mention anything about having a meeting with Roberto?""No," she replied with shock. "He hasn't said much to me these days, you know your father,""Is everything okay?" She added as I remained silent."Honestly Mom, no. Things are happening and I'm so confu

CLARAI rushed out of my room and headed for Roberto's, my mouth fell when I saw him sitting down on his bed peacefully reading a book.What?"You okay?" He asked as he noticed how hard my breathing was."No, I just...I thought I heard.......didn't you just scream right now?""Me?" He asked in disbelief. "I haven't even slept yet,""I...what?""Are you okay? You seemed stressed and tired. Go get some rest,""But-""Clara, as you can see I'm fine," he replies nonchalantly, his eyes still seeming tired."Okay," I stepped back and held the handle of his door. "Good night then."I couldn't sleep after what just happened, I know that scream. I've heard it multiple times. It's definitely him but why? He wasn't even asleep.I went to the kitchen, it was quiet and empty. Right, the maids and cooks would be definitely asleep.I decided to prepare dinner for myself, as I was cooking Landon walked in."Oh, I'm sorry. I was wondering who would be open this late,""Yeah it's me, I'm hungry," I lau

Chapter 90

CLARAThe next day, I was jolted awake by Olivia's urgent voice echoing through my mind, informing me that my father had arrived at the palace.I groaned, rolling over to check the time on my phone only to realize that I had overslept. The late-night hours spent tossing and turning had taken their toll, and now I was paying the price with a damned headache pounding the guts out of my skull.I sat up slowly, trying to shake off the fog that clouded my thoughts. I also had a nagging feeling settled in my stomach.I groaned and placed my hand over my head. "I have a feeling today won't be so great."As I made my way down the staircase, the familiar scent of breakfast wafted through the air, but my appetite was nonexistent.I only brushed my teeth and didn't even bathe. Fuck, now I reek of sweat, maybe no one would notice or it's just me?The scent of the food grew stronger but my mouth wasn't salivating, rather I felt like throwing up. 'You may not be hungry but I am!' Rae's voice nagge
