14 February 5:30. I've been eyeing the ring in my hand for so long in the bathroom. When Alastair knocked on the door. I still haven't cleaned up. "Baby it's been half an hour. When are you coming out" He called out " Just fifteen minutes " I called him. I quickly cleaned myself. Washing my hair, taking a bath. I brushed my teeth. I wrapped myself in a towel and walked out of the bathroom. Outside I was walking straight looking down at the petals. I didn't realize I walked inside the gym attached to our room instead of the walk-in closet. I looked up and drooled. Alastair was all sweaty his muscles shining. He holds two dumbles. Of course, he works out half of his time. When he looked at me, he smirked "Greedy baby?" He asked. I finally removed my gaze from him looking down, I was in the towel only. "I didn't realize I walked into the gym" I explained my face heating up. He dropped the dumbles and walked up to me backing me to the wall "Of course make excuses" he said rubbi
14 February 08:11 We dance back to back on three songs. Everyone had fun when the cake-cutting ceremony ended. The guests were riling our omegas with compliments. The party was over. We were back in our room in the comfort of our bed. Alastair suddenly asked. "You never told what had happened next" I turned to look at him, he was cuddling me from behind " I thought you forgot about it" I asked him. " No, I didn't, I was waiting when you'll yourself tell me" He accepted. I smiled. " There nothing much to tell. I agreed on living with him but he was killed by someone after a few weeks" I told him the truth. I got up from the bed. " I need a shower" I announced. "Without me?" Alastair teased. "You are welcome to come" I teased back. His eyes slightly widen as I walked inside the bathroom, I heard a thudding sound as Alastair jumped from the bed to follow me. I laughed, I know he have been waiting patiently to have sex with me. So it's natural for him to be desperate after my in
22nd February 9:10 The following morning I was feeling ill. So Alastair demanded we go to see the doctor After helping me clean up. Alastair goes as far as to dry blow my hair and comb it for me. I argued but had no luck. One firm glares from him and I got quiet. Once I'm clean, I hopped to the walk-in closet to choose a dress. But the walk-in closet was empty except for one dress. It was a blue full-sleeve, knee-length dress. If I wore it, not even an inch of me would be visible I turned to look at him–who was leaning on the door with a smug look on his face–and I immediately came to realize that he wanted to cover me, so no one looked at me. Usually, I'm wearing clothes that are a little too revealing, he had pointed out that last night. Ugh, "You can't control me like this," I said. A statement. He shrugged with a look that says I can and I will. I didn't want to argue, so I walked to the drawer to pile out a pair of underwear. Again only to find it empty. Mouth gaping I t
23rd February 00:13 We were wandering all around the town the entire day. Although we have gone to market to buy necessary items. Like herbs, diet charts, diet food, fruits, and an emergency bag. These all were necessary during pregnancy. O my Jesus. I still cannot believe I'm pregnant. It's been what, ten days? Alistair was right. He actually knocked me up in one night only. When we got home, it was late at night. Alistair was being ultra-protective now. Every step I take. He would eye it as if I'll fell down any moment. "Stop doing that!" I moaned as we walked inside the mansion. "Doing what baby?" He asked smiling at me. He have been smiling all day ever since he heard the good news. "You are eyeing me like I'm very vulnerable or something. It makes me feel weak" I lied. It actually makes me feel butterflies in my stomach. "No baby. You are not vulnerable at all. You are the strongest woman I have ever met. And now you are also caring for my baby Luna inside you" He admi
23rd February 01:12 ( The man in the dark's POV) I have dropped the note on the window of Clara's room. Everyone in the dark blood coven knows about her pregnancy. I don't like targeting the weaklings. But the King of Dark's words are final. Of course, the systems of Alastair's security would not recognize me. Those systems are built for tracking shifters or hunters even. But I'm none of that, I'm a creature of darkness and I don't have any physical form. I can take one when I please. I've been killing all those people on the order of the King of the Dark. I have seen how broken Clara was after she have to face every death. Gabriel has been keeping us updated about her condition. She is not a pawn on this chessboard. She is indeed a queen. Without her, the King won't have the power to checkmate. But first, the queen needs to be broken. Then only we can mold her at our will. I jumped as I landed inside the Coven's territory. It doesn't feel like home. Being near Clara gives me a
Clara's POV My breath hitched. Those two words were far from something I have ever imagined. Then again there's very little happening as I thought ever since I came into this world. I swept my gaze across the room. "What is a vampire spirit?" I asked no one in particular. All of them exchange a look of hesitation. it was Alastair who answered. "Vampire spirit is a lone vampire who is immoral. Vampire's being immortal is just a myth. But the Vampire spirit is different from all of them. He worships the lord of darkness. His work is to protect his species. He has been doing it for centuries " I process everything he told me. A question arises in my mind. " How did Morgan know about the Vampire spirit? She could have yelled vampire or killer or anything. Her uttering that particular name doesn't sit right with them" I asked. " It looks like Morgan had known more than she was supposed to know. That's why she was killed" Alpha David said. My heart squeezed. It was grieving a sister
Clara's POV When I came back to our room. I stared at the note that I have received. I'm thinking about just going and seeing myself who is it and what does they want from me. But I have promised Alastair I won't endanger myself again and also if I'm to face them on my own then I need to have something to have my back myself. Once the decision was made and I was lost in thoughts. The door opened and Alastair came inside. He looked tired. My heart reached out for him. "Alastair, did you find something? " I asked. He walked inside the room closing the door behind him. In one swept motion, he peeled his shirt above his head. He made his way to the bed taking me along with him. He cuddled me from behind. "You are my everything, Lara, don't ever leave me" He whispered. I turned, His eyes were closed already asleep as he rested his head on my chest. An Alpha king like him will be the last person someone would think of as weak and vulnerable. But at that moment. He was both weak a
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
