Clara's POV I was feeling really low, I had a feeling something bad will happen when Alastair will find out my truth, but I have to tell him.I took a deep breath, "Alastair I want you to promise me that you will not leave me or judge me after hearing the truth!" I asked him, taking his hands in mine in a plead.He was keen on trusting me, smiling at me lightly, "Do you believe that I can judge you? I am forever bound to you no matter what!" He assured me.Still, I didn't need assurance, I wanted a solid promise, "No Alastair I want you to promise me! Please promise me!" I asked him.His gaze soften when they met mine, bringing my hands to his lips, he placed a sweet loving kiss on my both hands. "I, Alastair King, promise on my life, I won't judge you or leave you. Not now, not ever."I felt his words deep in my heart, I noticed whenever we are promising each other something or are getting close in any way, There's something that gets firmer inside me. Like a part of me is recoverin

(Clara's POV)I sprang into action, darting toward the group of vampires. My heart was pounding in my chest as I tried to think of a way to diffuse the situation."Stop!" I yelled, throwing myself between Alastair and the vampires. "There's no need for violence. We can talk this out."The vampires sneered at me, their eyes cold and calculating. "What makes you think we want to talk?" one of them spat.I stood my ground, determined to protect Alastair and prevent any further bloodshed. "We don't want any trouble," I said firmly. "We're just looking for answers."The vampires exchanged glances, their expressions unreadable. For a moment, I thought they might actually listen to reason.But then one of them lunged at me, his fangs bared and ready to strike.Alastair was on him in an instant, tackling him to the ground with a snarl. The other vampires joined in the fray and chaos erupted around me.I fought with all my might, determined to protect Alastair and myself from harm. But the odd

Alastair's POV"Quickly prepare the car! We are going right now!" I barked at no one in particular. Holding Clara's hand tightly, I refuse to let go of her.Clara's eyes met mine before she passed out, I frowned."Denny! What is happening to her?? She is passed out!" I yelled at my pack's healer, Denny.She placed a comforting hand on my shoulder, "I gave her anesthesia, you guys have time to reach the hospital before she wakes up."I nodded without looking at her, my eyes focused on my mate. I quickly gathered her in my arms and walked out of the room. When I reached the driveway, Leo was already waiting in the car.I entered the passenger seat with Clara in my arms. "Drive fast Leo!" I told him in a whisper, my throat too tight for words.He didn't waste any second as he pulled onto the road and accelerated the car in motion.'her body is rejecting the pregnancy' The words my healer told me were continuously at the forefront of my mind. I can't bear the thought of losing my mate or

Clara's POVI opened my eyes slowly, feeling a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and between my legs. I looked around and realized I was in a hospital bed, hooked to various machines and tubes. I tried to remember what had happened, but my mind was foggy and confused.“Hey, you’re awake!” A familiar voice said from beside me. I turned my head and saw Seline, Alastair's sister, and packmate, sitting on a chair next to me. She looked worried and tired but smiled when she saw me.“Seline…what happened?” I croaked, feeling thirsty and weak.She reached for a glass of water on the nightstand and helped me drink some. “You had a scare last night. You started bleeding and cramping, and we rushed you to the hospital. The doctor said you had a threatened miscarriage due to stress. But don’t worry, your baby is fine. They did an ultrasound and everything looks normal.”I felt a surge of relief and gratitude, followed by guilt and fear. My baby…my precious miracle. Alastair might be so hurt, I am b

(Clara's POV)A month later, I woke up feeling uncomfortable because I was leaking of urine. It happens during pregnancy but it was the first time I faced something so embarrassing.I had faced so many things now that I was entering the fourth month of pregnancy and started crying.At that exact moment, Alastair entered the room, "Babe, what happened! Why are you crying" He asked with a frown, coming closer to me. He enveloped me in his arms."I don't know Alastair! I feel so ashamed. I woke up and felt the wetness between my legs I don't know how to say...It was urine. I'm so embarrassed!" I cried those words hiding my face.He looked at the situation before pecking my forehead.He said it was okay and he helped me change, while I was changing he took my clothes and the bedsheet that had stain in it and goes to do the laundry. He came back with a smile and kissed me gently.“Hey, don’t be sad. It’s normal. You’re doing great, my love. You’re carrying our baby and I’m so proud of you.
