EMMA POV
I limped into the study,Hoping to see Brian there but he was no where to be found

I went out of the study only to hear some one voice at the balcony.

Could it be Brian? I thought as I went there,Hoping it would be him

I got to balcony and saw him there and he was on the phone.

I noticed that some thing was wrong because of the expression he had on his face.

I was about calling out to him when I saw some one up stairs,Holding a glass vase and I was sure that he was going to drop it on Brian.

Quickly I ran towards him,putting pressure on my injured feet, Though it hurts but Brian safety was more important.

Immediately I shoved him fout of harm’s way, The glass vase fell and shattered into pieces.

I layed on the floor with Brian holding unto me.

We were like that for a while,Even after the vase had been broken

I stared at him and saw him starring back at me,It was the pain coming from my feet that got me moving.

“What is it?”He asked as he stood up

“It hurts a lot,It hurts so much”I said holding unto my injured feet

“If you knew that it was going to hurt you so much,Why did you run in here to safe me? You could have been injured too! ” He said

“Your Highness,Is every thing okay” Five guards run in at the same time

“Does it look like we are okay! Where were you all when She came out with her injured feet?”He yelled at the guards and they all bowed their head in guilt

“We are sorry your Highness”Andrew who was the chief of security apologised

“I was almost killed right now and if it wasn’t for her,I would have been dead!”He yelled at them.

“Just let it go Brian”I said holding his arm

He was so angry,Maybe he is angry because of his guards incompetence or maybe he was angry because I had put myself in danger just to save him

“Instead of shouting at them,Let them help me to my room”I said wanting to cool the atmosphere a bit

Andrew walked towards us and bent down wanting to carry me but the angry look he got from Brian made him stop and before I knew it, I was in Brian arms.

“One of your guards can take me to my room”

“And risk having you injured again,Hell no”He said and I was quiet until we got to my room.

He put me on the bed and brought out his phone to call the doctor

As soon as the call was made,He stood there starring at me

“What is it?”I asked

“You’ve saved me once again ”

“Oh,That,You don’t have to thank me,I just happen to be passing by and then I saw you and…….”

“I wasn’t thanking you”

“You weren’t?”

“I was only stating a fact,A fact which I find to be odd”

“What do you mean by odd?”I asked

“Why is it that the two times that my life have been threatened,You are always there protecting me”

Is this it! Will he find out the truth now? I thought feeling nervous and agitated

I couldn’t answer because the phone beside my bed rang breaking the silence that had erupted after he asked that question

I picked it up and when I heard the person voice I became more nervous than ever

“I had told you not to meddle!!!”Micheal yelled at me

I stared at Brian who was starring at my reaction

“This is not a good time to talk,I will call you back “I said

“Is he there with you?”Micheal asked

“Yes he is”I replied

“Now listen if you dare say a thing to him,I w…… ”

“I know what you will do okay! So stop thre………. I will call you later”I said and cut the call

“Who was that?”Brian asked

“No one”

“Are you sure?”He asked

“Yes I am and please Brian stop questioning me,I would like to be alone now”I said ending what ever discussion we were having before

I layed on the pillow,Pretending to be asleep and I thought he had left not until I heard him say

“If there is any thing or any one bothering you just tell me about it, Whatever it might be,I will be willing to listen” The door closing behind him was the indication that showed that he has left the room

If only it were that simple, Once he finds out that am not the real Dora but a fake,He will surely hand me over to the cops before he listen to my reasons,Am never going to tell him,Never.

NINA POV
I was in the kitchen preparing Dora food, The glass vase incident has been the talk of every one in the palace

Brian life had been threatened and Dora had saved him once again

It’s some thing I should be feeling grateful for but I don’t know why I keep on feeling uneasy about it

A while ago Brian had called me into his study, I had thought that it was because he wanted to see me just as he always did before but the only conversation we had was about Dora

“She is injured Nina,I want you to give her your utmost attention”He had said

“But she is being taken care of by her parents and other maid”I said

“I know but and am sure that Dora wouldn’t want those people with her,From what have seen between you two,I notice that she is more comfortable around you”

“What If am not comfortable around her”I asked

“You might not be now but you will be later on, All am just asking is that you take care of Dora”He replied

“Why do I feel that you asking me to take care of her is very important to you?”I asked

“Yes it’s very important! We both know that without her there can never be us,She is our only source to happiness and if she is hurt we will be losing a great deal”He said assuring me that his feelings wasnt getting tangled around Dora Baxter.

And I hope it stays that way, Brian is mine and I won’t let any one take him from me, I thought as I prepared the food.

“Ahhhh…….The issue with his Highness bride to be is really wearing me out” Mary a maid working in the palace said as she walked in

“Why do you say that?”I asked

“His Highness is so worried about her,He had gotten up to five maid to serve her alone and with her over bearing mother there,It’s really frustrating”Mary said

“His Highness got Five maid to serve her?”I asked

“Yes he did, Even the queen doesn’t have up to five maid serving her”

“She is sick and the scare they both got this morning made her injury worse”

“More like his Highness is going nuts about his new bride to be”Mary said gently

“What do you mean by that?” I asked

“Its what ever one is saying,We all believe that his Highness is falling for his new bride”She said and the plate I had in my hands fell on the floor

“Hey did that shock you? Don’t be so shocked,We all think it’s a good thing, From the rumours that have been going around,His Highness and lady Dora don’t want the wedding but due to some thing we don’t know they have to marry each other” Mary continued talking

I bent to pick up the plate that had fallen from my hand

“You know it would be good if they really fall for each other,They would be a perfect match and am sure that their children would be as………..”

“Enough of your nonsense!”I yelled at her angrily and she stopped talking

“I don’t want to hear any more of your darn gossips,So it’s best that you shut up”I said to her and continued my work

“Whatever”She muttered behind me before leaving the kitchen

Fall for each other! That will not happen cause I won’t let it.

No one will steal Brian love from me,I won’t let it happen,I thought angrily.

EMMA POV
“There is no need to have the maid here”I told Dora mom who insist on putting two maids in the room to watch over me

“But there is? What if those bastards come in,It’s their job to protect you,So they should stay here”She said

“You two can leave,I will take care of myself”I said to the two tired maid whom had been harrrased all day by Dora mom

The girls left the room before she could stop them

“Really? There are times that I wonder if you are truly my daughter”She said angrily

Well am not your daughter and you won’t ever see your daughter because she is dead,I thought sadly

There was a knock on the door and Nina walked in bringing my food

“You shouldn’t have bothered”I said giving her a smile

“Its her job,She should be bothered”Dora mom retorted before leaving the room

“She is just so unbearable at times”I said to Nina

If I would have a maid here it would be Nina,I feel more comfortable with her and I don’t even know why.

“I made this soup for you,Eat it while it’s hot”She said looking a bit worried

“I sure will”I replied smiling at a her,A smile which I noticed that she didn’t return.

While I ate,Nina stood by the window starring outside

I kept on wondering what was wrong with her,She is the sort who talks a lot but today she is quite different

“what’s wrong Nina?”I asked

“Tell me some thing, Do you like Brian ?”she asked and the food which I had been chewing was spilled out of my mouth

“What?”

“You heard me right ! Do you feel any thing for Brian”She asked again

(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 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!
