Introduction
First daughter and pride of the Blue Hive, Clarissa Mark was a blessed girl loved by her father and every member of her pack.
Brought up in a happy home, she had everything she wanted and people who would do anything to provide what she needed. She was confident about her future and to make it more exciting, she found love.
A lover so passionate that he ignited feelings she couldn’t process and it made her feel like she was on top of the world.
The only problem was the man responsible for making Clarissa lose all her reasoning.
Clarissa believed she knew everything about her new lover, Gabriel Lance. She knew He was off bounds, being the heir of the rival pack- Blood Moon but she couldn’t listen to her head. She saw a good in him no one else saw and was determined he was not like everyone in her pack claims.
He was different, a charmer and a passionate mate and he loved her with all his heart.
She was so positive of his love for her but everything changed when she came back from her one month vacation, pregnant and mated to the one person she should never have had something to do with.
Her father, who loved her more than anything was willing to accept her back as long as she got rid of the forbidden child which she blatantly refused to.
Clarissa left the pack she knew as her home as she couldn’t bare to loose the child and her father couldn’t bare to raise such a shame and damnation in his house.
Chapter 1
“Clarisa Gold!” the doctor called as he stood in front of her.
“Your results are ready” he spoke out before turning and going back into his office.
Clarissa turned to her side where her father was sitting and the look on his face was one that she had never seen before which made her more anxious by the minute.
They both stood from where they sat in the waiting room and walked into the doctor’s office.
Clarissa wished her mum came along with her and not her father, the man made her scared with how quiet he had been since they arrived. Although she was his favorite, knowing what she had done on her vacation a few weeks ago made her suspect what was wrong and she didn’t want him to behead her if it was confirmed to be true.
Clarissa’s father, Alpha Robert Gold, was the leader of the Blue Hive Pack. Clarissa was his first and only daughter which made him treasure her dearly and finding out that she had been ill for a few days gave him much worry. He had dragged her along with him to the hospital before she knew it because He didn’t want to play with her health.
They both entered the doctor’s office and took a seat in front of the table, waiting for him to go on with the announcement of the results that were in his hands.
“Everything is fine Alpha Roberts” he announced
“Everything is fine?” Robert asked wanting to know the reason why the doctor was hesitating to say the remaining words.
“Ahem” the doctor cleared his throat as his eyes moved from Alpha Roberts to Clarissa’s direction.
“Alpha there is absolutely nothing wrong with your daughter” he proceeded.
Carissa could feel her heart settled on hearing his statement, she was relieved that nothing was wrong, it was definitely not what she was thinking.
“Are you sure about that” her father inquired “But she hasn’t been feeling well these past few days and I was worried she might have come down with some flu”
“Well sir, there is nothing wrong with your daughter, she’s perfectly fine but I would like to congratulate you” he voiced as the words rolled out of his mouth.
Clarissa couldn’t help but feel the arteries holding her heart snap as it sunk into her stomach. “damn it” she whispered underneath her breath.
“Congratulations? On what doctor?” Robert asked as he stared at the doctor before giving a quick glance to his daughter who was sitting beside him awfully quiet as well.
She wasn’t even confused about the congratulation the doctor had given
“What I mean to say is you’re going to become a grandfather, congratulations” he voiced.
There and then Clarissa knew she was in trouble, not just any form of trouble but she was standing on the brick between life and death.
“What nonsense are you saying? My Clarissa cannot be pregnant” he said as he turned towards his daughter’s angle
“Sir please listen, I know what I’m saying, I was shocked at first too but then I asked the laboratory to redo the test three more times and they all came out with the same results, positive. which means she’s pregnant” he continued.
Carissa wished she could just shut the doctor’s mouth up as he continued to speak and explain more.
“Clarissa?” her father called out in anger which was mixed with a little bit of confusion. “What’s going on? Are you seeing someone behind my back? Who is the father of your child?” he asked, he had too many questions to throw at his daughter’s face however, Clarissa could not help but let tears stream down her face as she knew she had disappointed her father, the man that gave her nothing but love.
“ANSWER ME!” he yelled as he banged his hand on the table, his daughter was his pride and he had always anticipated her wedding day, when he would find a suitable mate for her and get her married.
He knew that day would be the happiest day of his life, he was working towards it and trying to make sure she had the best but here he was not even sure what was going on
Carissa’s tears rolled down her cheek as shivers passed through her spine. Her dad’s anger was well justified but this was the first time he had ever yelled at her in such a manner.
“I’m not going to repeat myself ‘CARISSA BELLE GOLD, tell me the truth” he requested trying to control his anger as he was talking to his Golden child, he didn’t want to hurt her despite how angry he was
Clarissa knew very well her father’s anger was definitely going to multiply if she dared to mention the name of the man whose child she was carrying.
“Dad…. I don’t know?” she cried
“What? What do you mean you don’t know?” he asked with his voice increasing with every word.
“Ehn sir… I think you” the doctor tried to speak but was cut off immediately.
“Stay out of this, I’m talking to my daughter and as for you Clarissa, you don’t know who the father of your child is? You don’t know whose child you’re carrying? How is that even possible? You’ve been sleeping around like a whore all this time?”
“Dad!” Clarissa eyes widened at the foul words escaping her dad’s mouth
“Shut up when I’m talking. What would people say about this. The Alpha’s only daughter is immoral, is that what you want them to say?” he shouted as he stared at her.
“Dad it’s nothing like that” Clarissa gasped out. She was embarrassed and tried not to glance at the doctor that was still in the room
“Then what is it like, tell me. I’ve always frowned at pre-mated sex and I never knew that my own daughter, my own princess under my roof would do something like this”
“ Dad” Clarissa tried to touch him, she wanted to remind him that she was his baby girl.
“Do not touch me” he said shifting his arm from her and standing on his feet and the action broke Clarissa
Hearing this made Clarissa really sad and scared, she felt as though her world was crumbling down before her feet.
Everything was collapsing so fast and she couldn’t stop it.
“We can still remedy this situation, right doctor?” he said, finally turning towards the doctor, taking a few steps back to the table.
“How far is she?” He asked without giving the doctor a chance to answer his previous question
“She’s just a month and a few weeks in.” the doctor explained.
“Good, Good, we are going to get rid of it and no one would know or hear a word about this, you would go back home and live your life as it was before. You will get a mate and get married” he said as he tapped his hands on the table.
“Dad! what are you saying?” Clarissa gasped in shock
“I’m saying since you have no idea who the father of that thing growing in you is, we are going to remove it. You’re going to have an abortion” There was finalty in his voice which made Clarissa knew it was over for her
“What? No!” Clarissa stumbled away from her chair, to get away from the man who she thought was her father
“Shut up! I don’t want to hear any objections from you in it and that’s final” he said before turning towards the doctor
“I need you to get everything ready as quickly as possible, she’s not keeping a bastard in my house” he added
“But dad, I don’t want an abortion. I want to keep this child” she spoke. Yes she made a mistake but her child shouldn’t have to suffer for it.
“You have to be joking Clarissa, you want to keep a child whose father you have no idea about”
“Dad, I don’t feel right killing it” She started to cry
“Well then you would have thought about morals the day you spread your legs open for the man that got you pregnant, I don’t want to hear anything more about this or else the consequences will be irreversible” he said as he walked out of the room leaving Clarissa all alone with her thought and tears.

One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
