I unlocked the door as usual and walked in and this time around, I met mum in the sitting room, eating some pops.
She stood up as soon as she noticed my presence.
“Son!” She exclaimed and rushed to hug and I welcomed her, of course.
“Mum; how’re you doing?” I asked, stroking her hair.
“Well…can I ever get better? I’m stuck here – alone” she said with a feign smile.
I sighed and walked to the dining, while she followed.
“The banquet’s taking place today, right?” She asked and I nodded as I started bringing out the things I bought from my bag.
“How’s the King? Does he ever speak of me?” She asked again.
“You know he has nothing in mind but to punish you, mother;” my reply hurt her.
Her eyes dimmed and I felt a little guilt.
I sighed and placed my hand on hers.
“Don’t worry, mother. Very soon, you’ll be out of here. I’ll make sure you won’t have to continue hiding for the rest of your life” I told her and a gleam of hope shun in her eyes.
“How’s Ara? Is she still cooperating?” She asked.
“Yes. I’m forcing her to cooperate. She’s still on our side”
“Good” she nodded agreeably
“You need to hold her tight, Duri. She’s an important asset to us”
“I know”.
I opened one of the packages I brought and we started eating from it.
“What about….your step mothers? And siblings?” She asked and I suddenly felt irritated.
“They’re still breathing. Someone made an attempt on Nathan’s life two days ago” I told her and she gave me a beady look.
“Did you do it?” She asked.
“You know me, mother. If it were me, I’d make sure he doesn’t come back alive” I gritted angrily.
“Good. You need to relax, Duri. Our plan should come in steadily without suspicions. We need to follow the steps” she scrawled and I nodded after talking a deep breath.
‘Let’s quickly eat, mother. I need to leave for the banquet”.
“Of course” she mumbled and we continued eating, more silently now.

Eric’s Pov:
I sat under the shade as I sipped me from my bottle of Chapman while I fed my eyes with the nice view of sexy ladies swimming in the pool.
Hmm.
A smile touched my lips as I spotted her – Vivian.
She was outstanding.
Her shape was so perfect and well exposed in the pant and bra she wore, giving her a killer look.
Damn! Such beauty is definitely gonna be sweet in bed.
My phone started ringing immediately, snapping me out of my wild thoughts.
Oh..f*ck! Who is it??
I checked and discovered it was my sister – Odeya. And I groaned.
“What is it?” I asked as soon as I picked the call.
“Where are you, Eric? It’s almost time for the banquet” she said in her usual disrespectful tone.
“And what’re you now? My secretary?” I said with my left arm apart like she could see me.
“Its almost time and you’re out there, probably f**king some loose b*tches” she snapped.
“Watch your tongue, deya I’ve warned you countless times and won’t warn you again”.
“Fine. Whatever. Mum was the one who asked me to call, okay? So bye”.
And she ended the call.
Arrogant brat.
I exhaled as I dropped the phone on the table beside me and just then, Vivian stepped out of the pool.
Yeah…perfect.
Her hair was dripping wet, her waist shaking as she climbed out.
Damn! She was an awesome beauty and I couldn’t wait to get a taste of her.
I snapped my finger towards one of my guards and he rushed over.
“I want her” I whispered, my eyes on her.
“Who? The senator’s daughter?” He asked and I nodded.
“Yes,my prince” and he set out to work immediately.
I watched him as he walked over to her, stopped her and started delivering the message.
She turned to look at me and smiled a bit and that smile lit my heart. At least, that was leading to a green light.
She started walking towards my table with the guard, but he stopped far away so she could reach alone.
“My prince” she beamed as she finally got to where I was.
“What a pleasant surprise. I had no idea you were here”.
“Hi Vivian” I smiled at her.
“Catching some fun, I see?”
“Oh! Yes,my prince. The weather’s a little hot today. So, I just decided to take a swim” she replied.
“Yeah, yeah. True”.
I nodded and slipped from my drink.
She was still standing.
Well,when you’re with a member of the royal family, you don’t sit unless they tell you to.
“Um…shouldn’t you be at the palace, my prince? The banquet’s just a few hours from now” she said.
“Ah! That’s true” I sipped from my bottle again.
“Well…let’s say, I’ve been delayed by a disturbing sight”.
“And what could that be, my prince?” She asked and I grinned at her.
She probably noticed and blinked rapidly.
“Um…your guard said you wanted to see me. I hope there isn’t a problem, my prince?” She asked.
“Of course, not, Vivian. It’s just that…your sight has been very disturbing”. I told her and she squirmed her brows.
“How,my prince?”
I sighed and dropped the bottle on the table, then placed my hands on the table.
“I’ll go straight to the point, Vivian” I began.
“I like you. And I want you. Five minutes is enough for me. We can do it in my car”.
I could notice the awe look in her eyes as she scoffed and looked at me.
‘My prince…” She chuckled, but my face was damn serious.
And she stopped smiling.
“Hold on; are you serious?” She asked, looking surprised.
“I don’t joke with such issues, Vivian. You should’ve heard about me” I answered and she scoffed, licked her lips.
“Well..” She blinked rapidly.
“I’m sorry, my prince. But..I’m not as cheap as you think. I don’t just give my body out to any random guy I see”.
Her reply stunned me.
“Now, if you wouldn’t mind, I’d like to take my leave” she bowed and turned around to leave.
“Nobody says no to me, Vivian” I halted her and she turned slightly to look at me.
“I’m not saying no, my prince. I’m just telling you I can’t”.
And with that, she walked away.
I felt my systems burn as she walked out on me.
The f**k!
No.
How dare she??
My guards came running to me immediately.
“My prince” they bowed.
“Should we go after her?”
I stared angrily as she walked away, her pretty @ss
swaying left and right and it angered me to the bones that she said no to me.
Nobody says no to me. I hated rejection.
“Let her be” I said gruffly to the guards.
“She’ll definitely come to the banquet. And I’ll make her pay for it”.

Danica’s Pov:
I was a bit late to Nana’s house as her mother scolded me a bit for it.
I left with her immediately and she had taken me to her friend’s place who brought the connection for her.
So, her friend was the one I had left with.
We boarded a cab and after a very long ride, we arrived at the palace. Not at the gate, tho.
Ordinary cars weren’t allowed into the vicinity.
The woman and I had to step down from the cab and walk the remaining distance which was a very very long way.
“Your name is Danica, right?” She asked as we walked along.
“Yes, ma’am. Danica” I answered politely.
“Good. Danica, remember to put in your very best behavior, okay? There’d be a lot of guests, celebrities and people of great personalities. So, you need to be very careful around them.
“Don’t stare too much. When serving the meal or drinks, be extremely careful. No matter how rude they may seem, don’t talk back at them. These people are powerful and can easily punish you for the slightest mistake. Do you understand?” She enthused, making me cringe a little.
“Yes, ma’am. Thanks” I replied.
“Yes. And as soon as the banquet is over, you’ll get your full pay”.
“Okay ma’am. Thanks a lot”.
Thinking of the pay made me relieved. I badly needed money. At least, I could get buy some food items with it.
The road to the palace was so beautiful, different dazzling flowers planted on each side, giving it a beatific look.
I kept wowing at the place, impressed by the wonders.
After a very long walk, the woman and I finally got to the gate and we had to pass through some serious interrogations from the guards.
She showed them her card, indicating she was a chef. And that was when they granted her pass.
Phew!
Thank goodness.
As soon as the woman and I walked pass the big gate, a “wow” escaped my lips.
Oh … My…. Gosh!!
Was this paradise???
Or truly the palace??
Holy Molly!!
My lips went open in shock and bewilderment as I looked around. What the hell???
Was this the palace?? How come it looked just like paradise?
Or was it looking this beautiful because of the banquet??
It was so big; so big words could not explain it.
It was actually a four storey building, big and round and painted in soft colors of white and royal blue.
There were three separate buildings aside that and only God knew what their purposes were.
The floors glittered like they were made of gold, and cars were running almost everywhere.
There was a big fountain at the facade, bringing out glowing lights as they flowed.
It was so amazing and incredible.
At the top part of the bigger building, a banner was hung there and it was boldly written:
THE ROYAL BANQUET
50 YEARS OF RULERSHIP – KING CAESER .
“Careful, Danica!” The woman snapped me out of my imaginary world and that was when I realized I’d almost bumped into someone.
Holy crap!
‘Oh my! I’m so sorry. Please, forgive me” I apologized immediately and the lady I’d almost bumped into just nodded and walked on.
She seemed to be a maid.
“I told you, Danica. You need to be careful if you don’t wanna get into trouble” the woman cautioned and I bent my head in contrition.
I tried my best to control myself this time around and using a back route, the woman and I finally got to the kitchen.
Seriously???
Was this a kitchen or a house on it’s own??
This was bigger than our entire house!
“Ahh! Finally, you’re here. What took you so long, Chin-su?” A woman who should probably be in her late fourties asked as she moved with a tray.
“Forgive me, Nina. I got hooked up with something” the woman with me replied as we walked deeper into the kitchen.
There were so many ladies there – and a few women – and there were as busy as bees.
Different killing aromas filled the room.
Wow!
“Is she the lady you said you were coming with?” The Nina woman asked and the woman with me nodded.
“Good morning, ma’am” I greeted with a bow.
“Yes. Put this on” she pulled out an apron and handed to me and u i quickly put it on.
Yep! Now, I look like a real chef.
“Come quickly. There’s so much to do” she further said and walked ahead while I followed.
*
*
Hours Later….
*
*
The kitchen was as busy as ever. But most of the foods were ready and some of the maids had started taking it to the banquet hall.
But since I arrived, I hadn’t left the kitchen.
Glancing through the window, I could tell the guests were arriving already as the palace became really busy and full..
Cars of different models could be seen all over. The palace guards were not left out, moving about to keep the place in order.
Gosh! This banquet was sure gonna be one in town.
“The prince needs some chips” a voice suddenly said and I turned to see it was the woman – Nina – as she walked in hastily.
“Quick! Get some chips to him. You over there! Do it” she said in her usual authoritative tune.
Hold on;
Did she just point at me??
I stood, gob smacked, staring and wondering who she was really referring to.
“Why are you still standing there? Put some chips into a plate and get them to me” she almost yelled and this time around, it became clear.
She was referring to me.
“M…me?” I still asked, pointing to myself
Gosh! I didn’t know what was wrong with me.
“Yes, you. Take them to prince Nathan’s room”.

(AT THE HALL)
“Dearly Beloved,” the elder began, ” we are gathered here today in the presence of these witnesses, to join Alpha Derek and Lady Diana in matrimony commended to be honorable among all; and therefore is not to be entered into lightly but reverently, passionately, lovingly and solemnly. Into this – these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace. “
He continued, “Friends, we have joined here today to share with Alpha Derek and Lady Diana an important moment in their lives. Their time together, they have seen their love and understanding of each other grow and blossom and now they have decided to live out the rest of their lives as one.”
“Do you Alpha Derek, take Diana, to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you two part.”
“Yes, I do.”
“Do you Lady Diana, take Derek, to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you two part.”
“Yes. Yes, I do.”
” It’s time to put each other the ring.” The elder instructed.
” I Derek give you Diana this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you.” He fixed the ring into her finger.
” I Diana, give you Diana this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you.” She did the same to him.
At the final declaration, the elder said. “By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you alpha Derek and Lady Diana husband and wife. You may now kiss each other. “
He ended with, ” I present to you the newly married couple
Everyone stood up with an applaud as the couple lead out.
After the matrimony was over, Diana’s eyes went all over in search for her parents. Even with the now over grown bumb, she walked up and down. Now that she has seen them, she ran to give them a warm hug.
Derek had ordered some people to stop her but, she didn’t listen but kept running. Mrs Craig, her mother held her mouth in fear, but did that seem to bother Diana?
No…
She ran to them, throwing herself in their embrace. ” Diana, you will hurt the baby. ” Her mother gave her a look.
” Mom, don’t worry, the baby is fine. “
” Well, that isn’t an excuse to me. If you wanna die, then not my grandchild. “
” Mom, you don’t care about me anymore? “
” I do, but it seems like you don’t care about yourself. Come here, give me another hug. ” She chuckled, pulling Diana to herself.
” Dad, how have you two been all this days. “
” We’ve been doing great. Though, your mother keeps mourning you until Kent told us you were alive with the wolves. “
” Mom… ” She stressed the word. ” Do you wanna kill yourself? “
” What do you expect? I thought I had lost my only child and daughter. I have to, it’s not like I loved what I was doing. You know what, whatever. It’s your day, let us jubilate it. “
” Why don’t we sit at the high table. I know my husband will be expecting us. “
” Yes, sure. Sure. “

Chapter 48:
“ DIVIANA… LUCAS… ”
( Seven Months Later )
“Call me my mother! Call me my mother! ” She cried in pains.
“But, my lady. You… ”
” I said, call me my mother!” She yelled at the nurse who did that Immediately.
Not quite long, her mother walked in straight to her side.
” Hold me tight, don’t let me go.” She said in pains and tears.
” I will never leave you my love. I’m here for you, okay? ” She assured her.
She nodded continuously while the nurse asked her for a push.
She screamed, her grip tight on her mother’s hand. She kept gasping for air.
The nurse ordered for another push which she did. Again and again, this she went on until something like a head was seen.
“I see it. I see it. One more push my lady.”
“Ahhhhh!!!”
There came the cry of a baby filling the air.
“What do we have?” One of the nurse asked.
“It’s a girl!”
Diana stared at her mother who offered her an assuring look that everything was gonna be okay.
Soon, Diana felt pains in her stomach like something was kicking her.
“There’s another!” A nurse informed. “There’s one more.”
Diana looked at her mother weakly, she wasn’t sure if she could endure it this time. She needed to rest, but the being in her wants to leave.
” Kiara, I thought you said it was only a she! ” She echoed not minding the people around her.
” Sorry, I forgot to mention there was a he too. “
” Oh my God, I don’t think I can hold this anymore. Mother… ” She pressed her hand tight.
Mrs Craig rubbed her palms softly, tears dropping out of her eyes. She can’t do this, she needed some rest.
“Okay. You need to push hard, my lady. Push!”
She held her teeths firmly together. Her body stiffened in each push. It was time for the last push, she gathered her strength, her eyes turned purple.
” Diana, this is the last… you’ve got to push. ” Kiara whispered in her head.
” I’m trying, Kia. I’m trying, okay. “
The other her was ready, Kiara has to help her.
She gave the hard push…
She breathed heavily.
“What do we have?” A nurse asked.
“It’s a boy! ” Replied the other.
“I wanna touch my babies.” She said dully and they brought the two infants to her side.
They laid them beside her. She couldn’t stop from staring at this creatures, they were beautiful, they were gorgeous.
“Do you want to feel them?” She asked.
She nodded her head. ” Yes, yes. Oh my… goodness. ” She held them both in her arms, humming one of those lullabies she always sang for Diana when she was little.
” Aren’t they beautiful?”
She nodded.
Derek entered, looking astonished at his two little kids on Diana’s arms. ” Come, Derek, look what we have. ” Mrs Craig said,
He came closer, He took his male child into his arms, holding him tight from falling. He loved babies, but he has never taken one into his arms so he fears he might hurt his child.
For the first time, a tear fell from his eyes. He has never thought of being a father. Now he is, what kind of father will he become?
“He’s beautiful. They both are so beautiful. My bloods, my futures. “

( Six years later )
Diviana ✓
” DIVIANA! ” I heard mom called but I paid deaf ears to her, running down the hallway. ” Diviana, I said, get back here, will you?! “
I stopped, stamping my feet angrily to the ground while I heard her approach me. ” Mom… “
” Don’t you ever mom me, okay? I said get back to your room and stay with your brother. ” She pointed towards the direction of my room.
” But mother, Lucas can take care of himself. Besides, I just wanna play. “
” You just wanna play, ” I notice her eyes look on my legs. ” And you aren’t putting on your shoes? Divia… “
” But this is not outside the castle… “
” Can you stop exchanging words with me and do as I said? To your room, now! ” She pointed.
” But mother… ” I tried to say.
” I said, don’t mother me… “
” Diana, take it easy. ” Cax said, touching her shoulder.
” Take it easy? Did you even listen to her? No, she is going into her room. And woman, what are you still waiting for? ” She said, throwing me a hard gaze.
” Fine, I’m going.. ” I scoffed, murmuring to myself as I headed back to my room.
” Hey Divia… ” Lucas tried to say but I cut him short.
” Shut up. ” I banged the door close.
Diana ✓
” You have to take it easy on her, besides she’s still a kid. “
” No, she’s stubborn. ” I corrected.
” That trait didn’t just come from nowhere, she must had gotten that from her mother. “
I eyed her, ” That was years ago. “
” Traits doesn’t give a damn how long it was or has been. It flows, and I think you just passed that down to her. ” She chuckled.
” No, I was stubborn, but not as stubborn as she is. ” We started to my room.
” I bet yours was worst. Cos if I can remember, yours resulted to you getting bitten. “
” Oh, maybe I must have forgotten. “
” Thank God I reminded you. “
” Uh-huh… “

THE GIRL HE MARKED Chapter 46
{ His Human Mate }

The morning has surfaced, we were both awake sitting on the bed. Derek was busy with his laptop, while I sat busy with nothing. I was still contemplating if I should tell him about Kiara’s discussion with me or if I rather keep it to myself.
I don’t even know how to start it but… I really need to have this discussed with him now. I sighed.
” Derek, ” I called him.
” Mm-hmm. “
” Can we talk about something? “
” Right now? ” He asked, his eyes still on his laptop.
” Yeah, right now. “
He stopped what he was doing, shutting his laptop close. He adjusted himself, that we were sitting face to face.
” Okay, I’m listening. “
” I uhmm… ” I started with a pause. ” You know, I was wondering, we haven’t gotten married yet and, I’m almost… so close to giving birth. So, I was thinking if we might discuss about our union. What do you think? ” I don’t even know what I’m saying.
” I thought about that so, I decided on hosting our marriage next week. But I didn’t wanna push it too forward without getting your opinion first. And you know, I didn’t wanna talk about it in your condition. “
I sighed. ” It doesn’t matter if we have to get married with me being pregnant. It’s much better if I may say. “
” You’re scared people might take me away from you? “
” No… I.. I mean of course not. ” But the look was just too obvious to tell, leaving him to laugh at me. I found myself laughing too.
By the way, why would I be scared?
Everyone of course knows we are mated already. Or, am I being too concerned because of guests yet to come for the wedding. You know, those pretty ladies who thinks they are better than everyone in the world.
Gosh… I guess I’m overthinking right now.
” Yeah, I’m scared, a little tho. ” I confessed.
” It’s okay to be scared. But you’ve got to believe this, I’m never leaving you for anyone. Not after what we’ve started together. “
I nodded in relief.
” You wanna talk about anything else? ” He asked again.
Hold on… Did he just…
” You just read my mind, didn’t you?” I pointed at him.
” It was too much. I mean, your thoughts are too much and they are bothering me. “
” I’m sorry, I… Maybe I won’t ask again. “
” No, go ahead. “
I exhaled, rubbing my palms. ” Last night, I thought about this but, I don’t think you might approve it. Can you just read my mind, please? “
” Diana you know I can’t do that. It’s your privacy, I don’t wanna invade it. If you’re being too shy to tell me, maybe you can anytime. “
” No, I want to have it discussed now. I… Okay, it’s about my parents. I was thinking maybe you can permit them to attend the ceremony. I just wanna see them, even if it’s for the last time. “
He smiled. ” Don’t worry about them, I already sent them an invitation. “
I chuckled, scoffing. Gosh, I’m damn surprised. ” Oh my goodness, Derek, you’re full of surprises. Thank you so so much, I love You. I love you. ” I threw myself on him, causing him to rest on the bed.
” I’m grateful for what you did, Derek. You definitely don’t know how happy I am. “
” Whatever makes you happy, makes me happy too. “
This time, it was I who pressed my lips on his, kissing him passionately.
*
*
” Damn it, kiara you’re hurting me. ” I grunted at the hot pains in my belly.
” Sorry, she’s too stubborn just like you. I’m trying to calm her down but she’s too… “
” Ahhh…” I cut her shirt with my yell. ” Kiara for damn sake make her stop!! ” I yelled.
” I’m trying. I think… “
” You think what? “
” I think she wants to pull out. “
” Pull out? ” I repeated. ” Pull out where?! What’s that supposed to mean? “
” I don’t know. I think she wants to leave your womb.”
” Then make her know it not the damn time yet. I’m … Oh my God, I feel like passing out. Kiara!! “
” For God sake, Diana, I’m trying!. “
” Then keep trying!! ” I held the lower part of my stomach, pushing myself to lay on the bed. ” This is the most painful moment of… my… life. ” I said in clenched teeth. ” Whew…” I breathed, in and out.
I did that again and again as if that would help. And indeed it did. ” Kiara, ” I called with a warning tune. ” Don’t you ever, ever again play with her. Understood?! “
” Yes, boss. “
I exhaled heavily, resting my back on the bed. ” Whew… “
*
*
That night, I sat happily at the varenda. I always go there each time I wanted to be alone. I wanted to think, to be outside the universe.
I never expected Derek to have done what he did. Every other alpha will try to show how angry they were when humans are being mentioned, humans different from their mates.
But Derek just proved how different he was to other alpha’s. First, he respects my privacy. He never reads through my mind without my permission. And now, he just approved the idea of letting my parents attend our marriage.
Did I just said approved? He has already send an invitation letter to them??
Good God, I’m so fucking excited right now. Finally, I was gonna see my parents once again!
