The king’s POV

“I wrote the rules,” I reminded him. “I know exactly what it costs.”

Joe stared at me like he was looking at a stranger.

“You gave up your immortality,” he said quietly. “Your life is now tied to hers. If she dies—”

“I die,” I finished. “I know.”

“Are you insane?” he demanded. “If the council finds out, you could lose everything. your throne, your kingdom your life.”

“I don’t care,” I said without hesitation.

Joe fell silent.

“I am more afraid of losing her,” I continued, my voice steady despite the chaos inside me, “than losing the crown.”

The words surprised even me with how true they were.

The throne meant nothing without her.

Power meant nothing.

Immortality meant nothing.

“I only want one thing,” I said. “And that is her.”

Joe looked at me like he didn’t recognize the man standing before him.

“You’re obsessed,” he said carefully.

“Yes,” I agreed. “And?”

Silence stretched between us.

Finally, I straightened, pulling away from him.

“Where is Clara?” I asked suddenl

    Clara’s POV“Yes,” I said softly, but clearly, my voice carrying through the throne room.“I’m pregnant.”I smiled as I rubbed my stomach slowly, deliberately, making sure every eye followed the movement.“I’m carrying the king’s child.”A stunned silence fell over the hall.“I just found out recently,” I continued calmly. “I haven’t had the chance to tell anyone yet. Not even the king.”Gasps erupted.I didn’t need to look around to know what was happening, I could feel it. Excitement. Shock. Awe. Fear.The elders’ faces lit up as if a miracle had just been announced. Some looked relieved. Some looked greedy. Some looked terrified.The king turned to me so fast I almost laughed. His eyes were wide, searching my face, his breath uneven. If he wanted to speak, no sound came out.Elena was the first to break the silence.“That’s not possible,” she said sharply. “You just married the king five days ago. How can you already be pregnant?”I turned my head slowly toward her, still smiling.

    Clara’s POV“Why are you so sure Amelia killed him?” I asked, my voice sharp and steady.“Were you there? Did you see her do it with your own eyes?”Kate opened her mouth.“No… but I know—”I cut her off immediately.“No, you don’t,” I said coldly. “What you know is what you want to believe.”I turned slowly, making sure everyone in the hall could hear every single word.“You said you wanted the person who killed your son,” I continued. “I am standing right here, confessing. Yet you still refuse to accept it.”I stepped closer to her.“Instead, you keep accusing Amelia. A woman who just lost her husband.”I paused, letting that sink in.“Are you trying to use this as an excuse to get rid of her?” I asked calmly. “Because everyone here knows you’ve always hated Amelia.”Murmurs began to rise.“But accusing her of killing her husband?” I scoffed. “That’s low. Even for you.”Kate’s face twisted in fury.“And let’s not forget,” I added, my voice growing louder, sharper, “Amelia is carryin

    Clara’s POV“Amelia didn’t kill Klaus,” I said slowly, clearly.“I did. I killed Klaus.”The room exploded into chaos.Gasps tore through the hall like knives. Chairs scraped against the marble floor. Some elders stood up immediately, others leaned forward as if they hadn’t heard me correctly.The king turned so fast to face me that his crown almost slipped.“What are you doing?” he demanded, his voice low but shaking.For the first time since I met him, I saw it clearly on his face, fear. Real fear. Not the kind kings feel for their throne, but the kind men feel when they are about to lose someone.His hand closed tightly around my wrist, stopping me as I took a step forward.“Clara,” he whispered urgently, “don’t do this.”I looked at him.Really looked at him.Those red, tired eyes. The pain carved deep into his face. The way his fingers trembled slightly as he held me, like I might disappear if he let go.I smiled at him.Not gently.Not lovingly.I slowly pulled my hand out of hi

  • Pregnant For My Husband’s Father    Chapter 181

    Clara’s POVThe moment I stepped into the throne room, I felt it.The tension.It pressed against my skin like heat before a storm, thick and suffocating. Every seat was already filled. Council elders sat in a wide circle, their faces hard and judgmental. Guards lined the walls, hands close to their weapons. Nobles whispered among themselves, their voices sharp with curiosity and hunger for scandal.Kate was already there.She stood in the middle of the hall, dressed in black from head to toe, mourning clothes so perfect they looked rehearsed. Her veil rested lightly on her face, just transparent enough for everyone to see her grief. Or what she wanted them to believe was grief.My lips curled slightly.Then my eyes met his.The king.He looked terrible.His skin was pale, almost lifeless, as if all the strength had been drained from him. The powerful aura he usually carried, the one that made people bow without being told, was weak, flickering like a dying flame. His shoulders were t

  • Pregnant For My Husband’s Father    Chapter 180

    Clara’s POVI opened my eyes slowly.For a moment, everything felt wrong, too quiet, too still. My body felt heavy, like I had been dragged back from somewhere dark and deep. My head throbbed, not in pain, but like something had been fighting inside me and finally lost.Then I saw Fiona.She stood beside the bed, arms crossed, her posture tense but her eyes soft. She looked relieved.“You’re finally awake,” she said, a small smile touching her lips.I swallowed. My throat felt dry.“How long was I out?” I asked, my voice hoarse.“Not long,” she replied. “Since yesterday.”Yesterday.I frowned slightly, my mind replaying fragments, pain, pressure, my bones screaming, Lara’s voice snarling inside my head.Instinctively, I reached inward.Lara was there.Quiet.Too quiet.She wasn’t clawing at my thoughts. She wasn’t screaming. She wasn’t pushing.She was… calm.That alone sent a chill down my spine.“My wolf,” I said slowly, pushing myself up on the bed. “She’s calm.”Fiona nodded. “Yes
