-CLARA-

The next morning, Damon left early as usual and I decided to stay at home this time since I already had a plan so there was no use going out to meet Dimitri.

Besides, I didn’t want to stress myself too much now that I knew I was with child. I was going to take things slow and think about our child first before anything.

After having my bath, I went down for breakfast and was too lazy to go back upstairs so I decided to stay in the living room and read a book.

Despite the book in my hand, my thoughts were all over the place. There was no guarantee that my plan would work but I wouldn’t know if I didn’t try.

“You didn’t come looking for me today, Peaches” I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Dimitri’s voice.

I turned to him and he was resting his frame against the door as he stared at me.

“I thought Damon banned you from entering here?” I questioned and he scoffed.

“I’m more stealth than an octopus. The guards didn’t even notice when I slipped through. Now tell me, what’s bothering

head. you?” He questioned and I sighed before shaking my h

“Nothing really, I’m just tired that’s all” I told him and we were quiet for a while.

“Did you tell him?” He questioned and he didn’t need to elaborate for me to know what he was talking about.

For a few weeks now, I’ve been noticing the symptoms of pregnancy in me. I was very observant of how my body changed and my diet as well because I didn’t want what happened last time to happen again.

Although I felt like I was pregnant, it was all just a feeling but yesterday while I was going over the plan with Dimitri, I felt

my

thoughts. nauseous. He forced the truth out of me and I told him

He immediately went to get a pregnancy test for me from a local convenience store and I wasn’t surprised when it came back positive.

“No, not yet” I replied and he sighed.

“I think you should tell him, Clara,” He said and I nodded.

“Of course I will but not now. If I tell Damon now, he’s going to be so overjoyed and he’s going to tell everyone and if Aurora replaces out I’m pregnant, I don’t even want to think about what might happen. I can’t lose this one this time around Dimitri, I won’t be able to survive it. I’ll tell him as soon as we have gotten rid of Aurora” I responded and he stared at me for a while before sighing.

“At least let’s

go to the hospital so you can do a proper check up. We need to know if the baby is healthy and…”

to get pregnant for Liam so I know how to handle “It is, trust me. I read a lot of books on pregnancy while I was trying myself. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be okay” I assured him then flashed him a smile and was about to turn back to my book when he spoke.

“I’ve been watching Aurora, she doesn’t seem to be doing anything for now but I know she’s probably thinking of something diabolical. Do you think she’s going to fall into your trap?” He questioned and I shrugged.

“We just have to wait and see” I told him and just then, a guard ran into the living, bowing his head at me and Dimitri.

“Mrs Donovan, Your presence is needed by the Alpha King and Queen Luna” The guard said and my eyes widened.

“Why?” Dimitri questioned.

“The Queen Luna has relapsed” The guard informed us and frowned before exchanging a look with Dimitri.

“Let’s go”

When we got there, I found Aurora by the door next to the Alpha King and she seemed to be in a foul mood.

As soon as the Alpha King saw us, he turned away from her and immediately walked towards me.

“My wife relapsed” He told me and I nodded.

“I’m aware. I made some medicine on my way here” I said and heard a scoff from Aurora.

“Your medicine doesn’t obviously work if mother isn’t healed yet. Let me do it, I know better than this wannabe does. I studied medicine” Aurora argued.

“She doesn’t want you to treat her, she wants Clara and I’m going to do whatever my wife wants” The Alpha Queen replied and Aurora scoffed again.

“Fine but don’t come running to me when Clara ends up killing her due to the fact that she’s trash” She muttered then stormed away.

I exchanged a glance with Dimitri before turning back to the Alpha King.

“Can you please tell me how she has been before she relapsed while we walk to the room?” I questioned and he immediately nodded.

“She was fine a few days ago but then the headache and stomach pains suddenly started. She would wake up in the night,

because we felt you

had a lot on gasping for air but then the next minute, she would be fine. We didn’t want to disturb your plate but it just seems to be getting worse and I’m worried” He told me as we walked up the stairs.

“I’ll do the best I can. It shouldn’t be that serious. I’d like to be there alone with her if that’s okay with you” I said to him and he nodded.

“Take all the time you need” He responded and I smiled at him then nodded at Dimitri before walking into the room, closing the door behind me.

“Clara dear, you came” She uttered weakly as she watched me and I nodded.

“Of course I’ll come. How are you feeling?” I questioned as I sat down on the bed, placing the herbs and medicine on the nightstand.

“I feel like I’m close to death” She joked but when she saw I didn’t laugh like I usually did when she made jokes like this, she frowned.

“Is something wrong?” She questioned and I pursed my lips.

“The Alpha King already told me about the symptoms you’ve been having and I think I know what may be wrong. Has Aurora visited you recently?” I questioned and she furrowed her eyebrows but nevertheless nodded.

“Yes she visits me everyday” She informed me and I hummed

“Does she give you anything to take?” I asked and she frowned.

“Yes she does. She said it was going to help my immune system and serve as a cleanser as well. Why are you asking me these questions?” She asked and I sighed.

“You’re going to die, Mrs Donovan”…
