CHAPTER 1
CLARA MONTEIRO
It's 2:35 AM and I can hear my father's footsteps going up the stairs and heading to his bedroom.
I sigh, feeling my heart pounding inside my chest, as I get up and put on a coat over my pajamas.
I look at myself in the mirror, tying up my hair before opening the door and sneaking out.
My father would kill me if he knew what I was doing, but I can't avoid it anymore.
I look around constantly, going down the mansion stairs quickly and carefully.
Everything is dark as I open the other exit of the house, being careful not to be seen by the guards scattered all over the property.
I run across the grass, pulling the hood of the coat over my face, spotting the small house in the distance.
The small house where Luca, the personal driver and bodyguard, lives.
I'm not caught by the guards this time, and I'm breathless when I knock twice on the door, glancing around.
It doesn't take long before the door opens and then my eyes meet his.
A smile grows on my lips as I pull the hood from my head and face Luca standing before me.
He rubs his eyes, looking like he was asleep before.
His black hair is messy, and he's wearing a black T-shirt and sweatpants.
"Clara?"
"Hi, Luca."
He widens his eyes, looking at me like I'm crazy.
"God, what are you thinking? If your father or anyone sees us right now..."
"Nothing's going to happen, and I couldn't help it..." I whisper, and he looks around before pulling me inside the house.
I smile wider and then he pushes me against the wall, standing very close to me.
"You're completely insane, Miss Monteiro..."
Luca kisses me, and I close my eyes, feeling him holding my face and deepening our kiss.
We've been doing this for a while, ever since I realized I had feelings for the bodyguard my father hired to protect me.
We have a forbidden relationship, and we'd be dead if anyone found out what happens here.
Luca kisses my neck, trailing kisses downward, and seconds later he rips the coat off my body, smiling when he sees my white pajamas.
"You're trying to kill me, Clara..." he groans before pulling my little pajama tank top upward.
Luca stares at my breasts before sucking each of them. I try to muffle my moans, biting my lips hard.
I tug on his hair firmly, feeling the pleasure growing inside me.
"Luca..." I whisper, rolling my eyes back.
He bites my n*****s before looking at me and kissing me again.
I can’t take it anymore and push him onto his bed.
He laughs at my move, and I smile as I straddle his lap.
"You're taking a big risk, Clara..."
"I don’t care, and you know that..."
We start kissing again, and this time my hands rush to remove his black shirt.
My eyes admire every detail of his gorgeous body.
Luca is the most handsome man I’ve ever seen, even though he’s human.
His hands trail down my stomach, and his fingers slip inside my shorts, finding my wet p***y.
"So wet for me, little werewolf..."
I grind on his lap, feeling his hard c**k pressing against the fabric of his pants.
Everything disappears when he pulls off my shorts and panties.
We're taking a huge risk here, but I love him.
Luca bites my neck as I pull his pants down and stroke his c**k, rubbing it against my entrance.
We moan at the same time as I feel him sliding completely inside me.
He grips my waist tightly, and I fix my eyes on his face.
Luca groans with his face pressed against my breasts.
I ride him faster, feeling his c**k going in and out of me more intensely.
"I love you..." I whisper, and he opens his eyes before pulling me into another kiss.
"I love you, Clara..."
We reach our climax at the same time, and Luca pulls me down to lie on his chest.
I can’t stay for long, so I try to make the most of this moment with him, like every night.
"This needs to stop before you get banished from your pack or my head ends up on a spike, Clara..." he whispers, and I blink slowly, looking at the lit fireplace in the room.
"I know that, I know I’m putting our lives in danger, but I can’t stop..."
I didn’t want this life. I didn’t want to be the daughter of one of the most powerful alphas.
"I’m not saying this to hurt you. I’m saying this to protect you. Your safety is all that matters to me..."
I sit up, pulling the blanket to cover my body, and look at him lying next to me.
"Someday, he’ll have to find out. We can’t hide forever."
"You don’t understand, Clara. Your father is Dante Monteiro. Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack. He would never accept a human like me as his daughter’s mate..."
I close my eyes, knowing he’s telling the truth.
My father would kill him.
"We’ll find a way..." I whisper, lying down on top of him, and he gently touches my face.
"No, Clara. We can’t keep doing this, please..."
I feel tears in my eyes, but I don’t want to accept what he’s saying.
"Are you breaking up with me?"
"Of course not. I just don’t want you to suffer because of me..."
Before I can say anything, we hear footsteps outside the house and I go silent.
"I have to go back..." I whisper, wiping my face, and before I get out of bed, he pulls me in and kisses me.
"I love you, Miss Monteiro..."
I smile before getting dressed and leaving, heading back to the mansion.
No one sees me, and when I’m in my room again, I feel tears in my eyes.
I love someone I can’t have because of what I am, and it hurts so much.
I can't sleep the whole night.
When morning comes, I hear knocks on the door and try to wipe my face as the door opens.
My father appears and walks into the room.
"Clara, is everything okay?"
I sit up and try to smile before nodding my head.
"I’m fine, it’s just cramps..." I whisper, and he seems to understand.
"Do you want to stay home today? You don’t need to go to school if you’re in pain."
I shake my head, getting up and grabbing my uniform.
"No, I want to go."
"Okay. Luca will take you to class and bring you back. When you get home, we have important things to discuss."
"Sure, Dad."
He walks over and I close my eyes as he kisses my forehead.
"I love you, Clara. My only daughter."
I smile as I watch him leave the room wearing his work suit.
Before I can do anything else, I feel a strange sensation inside me and run to the bathroom, kneeling and vomiting into the toilet.
I wipe my lips and sigh.
Time to go to school and pretend my life is perfect.
