Clara was cooped up in her room she was getting bored she wasn't doing anything Liam has specifically made her rest more since she was having a baby she decided she wanted to go out to get some air
"Babe I want to go out to a lovely place where I can get some air" Clara said
"Well you can always go to the gardens there are plenty of lovely scenes there and a lot of beautiful flowers you can go there," Liam said nonchalantly
"No way I need somewhere more pretty how about you take me on a walk to that beautiful place you took me a year back it's really beautiful there and I want to go there," Clara said
"Okay we'll go later in the evening," Liam said
"Yes thank you," Clara said and jumped hugging him happily a knock on the door interrupted their happy moment Eric walked in
"Alpha, Luna" Eric greeted
"Is something wrong Eric?" Liam asked Eric walked closer and whispered something into his ears Liam's expression changed
"Clara I'm sorry I can't go with you I'll ask two of my sentinels to accompany you okay," Liam said
"Is something wrong?" Clara asked
"No don't worry about it, it's nothing," Liam said shaking his head
"Okay see you later," Clara said and was about to leave when Liam pulled her into his embrace carefully
"Take care and come back soon I love you okay," he said and then kissed her he was a bit reluctant to let her go but he didn't know why he felt that way just then the two sentinels in charge of protecting Clara came
"Take good care of Luna, okay!!!" Liam said and they bowed and answered
"Yes Alpha we will" Clara waved to Liam and Eric and then left with her bodyguards for the day. Liam and Eric went for their unfinished business
"Ah Eric, when Clara comes back, make sure you prepare a great surprise for her. I want to see her smile tonight," Liam happily said to Eric.
"Sure, but may I ask why you needed to surprise her tonight? I mean she is just going out to the garden" Eric said
"You'll find out, soon enough tonight. Just relax will you?"
"Fine since my best friend is being secretive I better change friends then"
"Just shut up"

"Gabe, my stomach hurts it's hurting me so bad and I need to use the bathroom," Jasmine said,
She is 2 months pregnant and since it was the first trimester she was having it tough.
"Okay honey, I am here, come on, I will help you do that," Gabe said and held onto Jasmine, and led her into the bathroom.
Over the years they had a baby almost close to the delivery date, but it was born prematurely and died that same day. To have suffered for 7 full months and then give birth to something not alive threw the entire family into despair, to have had a stale child, but the love they had made them give it a name. They named him Carl, and they buried him. Its parents tried again and after a year they were eventually pregnant so they made it their determination to make sure this pregnancy comes out to life. So Gabe and Jasmine are being extra careful this time.
That's why one doesn't go anywhere without the other. So they made it their aim to work together.
Alpha Liam ever since the night his wife told him she was pregnant, he decided not to let anyone know since it was just 2 weeks of pregnancy, he wanted it to be at least a month's pregnancy before he announced it to the public, but then he changed his mind that tonight he will throw a surprise party for both his Luna and to everyone, and will let everyone know that their Luna will finally give them an heir.
Clara and the sentinels went far away from town, and they were all laughing together with their Luna.
They loved the fact that they were both deemed worthy to guard their beloved Luna tonight. They and everyone in the town loved her because she was a carefree person. She plays with the little wolves and everyone who she has come in contact with. For this, they swore to protect her with their lives
As they moved farther away from the town. It was getting pretty dark so a guard named, Mario a little quite powerful said
"Luna let's head back now, it's getting late"
"Fine, Mario if you say so, I just need to pluck these flowers and we'll head back okay?"
"Okay Luna, I'll pluck it for you."
This made him move farther away and cut the flowers and came back to hand them over to her. She inhaled it and then she sneezed.
She was surprised because it's her favorite flower then she recalled she was pregnant so she smiled.
As they went back they were attacked by some rogues.
"Protect the Luna with your life," Mario yelled. But then they were overpowered due to their attackers being stronger and also using a poisonous medicine that kills wolves. They fell to the floor, and died before Mario stopped breathing with his last breath he said,
"Luna forgive me, I couldn't protect you"
Clara cried heartily, she wanted to run but was caught up and was knocked out, some of her jewelry she threw on the floor so they could find her.
"Is she back yet?" Liam asked
"No she isn't, she must be on her way. The surprise is ready now she just needs to arrive" Eric said
An hour later, she was yet to come back and it is 8:00 Pm
"What could be keeping her?" Liam asked, being uneasy so he sent Eric to set out to bring her back home.
Eric traced her scent and that of the sentinels, but then he got to a place filled with flowers and found out they were almost home then he saw Mario on the floor in his pool of blood, and the other guard stabbed.
"Rouges oh no, they got Clara" this made him get serious, and began looking for her cause it won't be funny if he went back home without her.
After hours of searching rigorously, he then saw Clara's jewelry and traced her but to no avail. He tried to make sure he found her but couldn't, the wolf's bane spread on the floor was beginning to affect him. So he ran back home to report his findings
He came panting,
"Liam, they ...rogues. her... Clara"
"Get yourself together and talk about where Clara is?"
"I can't find her, Mario is dead. Luna is missing."
"What? Oh no no no no Noooooooo" Liam yelled and roared the whole town felt its impact and ran to the front of his house.
"Calm down we will find her" Eric said
"You don't get it she is frail," Liam said quite depressed.
"You might be taking her for granted, I trained her myself she is stronger than she looks"
"Just shut it she is pregnant.... she is pregnant my Luna is pregnant" Liam wept and said "This surprise was for her and everyone"
"Oh no, no we better go find her".
"Take me to the place I need to find her and bring her back home"
They got there but no traces, the trail had gone cold, someone covered the trails on purpose it must be some powerful witch.
They searched all night long, but to no avail. Liam became so angry for leaving her alone with just some sentinel. He got back home and sent everyone to search for his Luna. His town became unprotected, but that was the least of his concerns he needed Luna by his side.

"Clara, I think you have to stop fighting this and just do as you are told"
"I will never even if it kills me"
"Oh really now, well I love your enthusiasm you have always been strong-willed but you see, I can't let you die just yet. I need you alive and well so you will eat even if you don't want to, even if it means forcing it down your throat.
Clara's POV
I need not beg them anymore, I just need to hang on for me and the little one growing inside of me, and yes I just need to be strong for both of us I just need to hang on until its father finds us.
"Clara," he called me loudly. Jolting me back to reality.
"I think it's time no need to fight on anymore, pour some cold water on her and electrocute her a little maybe, she'll cooperate"
I had to remove my thoughts from the pain. The only thing I can think of right now is how to make sure my baby survives this.
'Little one please stay strong, dad wants to see you, okay? Please get through this
She was electrocuted in the most deadly way so that she would lose consciousness and she did.
"Are you prepared to do as you are told?" Clara was asked as she regains consciousness
"No let me go I've done nothing to deserve all this please let me go," Clara said
"It seems she hasn't learned her lesson yet to make her suffer some more" Clara was electrocuted some more until she was nearly out of breath. She became unconscious again and so they left.
That was how Clara was tortured mercilessly, all the while Liam kept searching nonstop for her but to no avail.
