EMMA POV
“What’s going on Brian?why are you here?”I asked starring at him

“Where did you go to when the search was being on?”He asked.

“I went for a walk,I told you right!”I repeated

“Are you sure that you truly went for a walk,?Andrew said he saw you getting into a car?”

“Oh That! that was my friend car,I had felt so locked up,So I called her to come take me out”I lied

“I really hope that you aren’t lying Dora cause I won’t ever forgive you if I find out that you have been lying to me”He said and left the room.

For a while I thought about what he said and crouched on the floor feeling so down and sad

Once he found out that I have been lying to him,He won’t ever forgive me !

No matter what I cant tell him,In a few days time,I will be leaving and he won’t be seeing me again,So it’s best that I keep my mouth sealed.

A week after that day we all got into a car which was taking us to our place of destination.

A lot has happened since the day Brian barged into my room and yelled at me ,Each time i remember our conversation,I wished i could have tel him the truth and am sure that though he might have gotten angry,He would have helped me leave but I can’t open my mouth.

If I do,He will find out that Nina,The girl whom he love is also a liar and she works with the enemy,Have even been working with him for a very long time.

While the car drove us,I stared at the two couples who were beside me

Its been a week now and no one have noticed any thing going on

The deal I had with Brian was still on, Have asked that Nina be my personal maid so she can accompany me on any appointment I might have and one of the appointment is today.

Brian and I are going to the church to reharse for the wedding and since it will be Nina that will be there on the day of the wedding,She needs to be there to reharse with us

So far so good Micheal hasn’t planned any thing for Brian ,He hasn’t even called to ask me to do any thing,Seems like he is laying low after killing that man

Just remembering the way the man fell after being shot on the head gives me goose bumps.

If I had known that by killing the man is Micheal solution,I would have tried to stop him.

I just hope that he hasn’t notice any thing odd going on between Brian,Nina and myself

If he gets to know about our plan,He will surely find a way to stop it and I dont want that.

“Stop it Brian,We have some one here”Nina whispered at Brian who kept on kissing her cheeks

“And so! Its none of her business and this is the only time I can be with you,so let’s just enjoy it”He said and kissed her right in front of me.

I looked away,Feeling quite strange,This is not the first time I would see them kiss and so why am I feeling this way,I thought starring outside the window.

Ever since the day Brian came to my room,He has been acting strange.

He is never alone with me and if he is,Nina would always be around, Each time I catch him starring at me,His eyes was always filled with one of anger and hatred.

It had been that way in the past,When I never knew of Nina existence in his life

But when we made the deal,He was quite kind to me,He never stared at me in that way,I even thought when every thing was normal again,We could be friends but all that changed ever since the day he came to my room.

I wonder what he heard that made him change towards me,I thought

Well that is not my problem,Am only thankful that he is still keeping his word about the deal,I will leave this place soon and I will try to forget all this ever happened.

The car stopped in front of the church and we got out of the car.

Brian acting as the doted fiance to me while Nina did her job as the maid

To others we might look like a couple,If only they knew that it was the other way around.

While Brian talked with the priest, I sat with Nina in the chapel.

Its been so long since have been in a church,I can’t even remember when last I prayed.

“I hate being here”Nina said suddenly and I stared at her

“Why?”

“It reminds me of my child hood”She said

“What happened during your child hood”I asked

“Some thing happened and I trusted him,I trusted him and hoped for a miracle”She said starring at the statue of Christ which had been placed on the altar

“But it didn’t happen right?”I asked

“It didn’t and that brought me to the conclusion that He doesn’t exist,Do you guys really have to have the wedding in a church, Why not an outdoor wedding?”

“I know that am just a camouflage in all this and you will be the one really marrying Brian on that day but I can’t do a thing to stop the wedding taking place in a church,Dora parents want it that way”I said

“Well it doesn’t matter where it will take place,I will be the one wedding the gown and walking on the aisle to meet my husband,Just thinking about it makes me feel triumphant”She said

“Why triumphant? I thought all bride to be always feel excited or happy”I said and saw her look a bit nervous

“Of course I do feel excited and happy, why would you think I don’t ” she replied and got up

“Excuse me for a bit,I need to do some thing”She said and went off.

I don’t know why but I feel that some thing is off about Nina and I hope that what ever it is doesn’t affect me leaving this place for good.

I stood up and knelt In front of the altar,Nina might have given up on Christ but I haven’t,I know that some day I will get out of this.

I closed my eyes and prayed for my dad who was still in Micheal custody.

“Praying doesn’t suit you”Brian words broke the prayer and I turned to stare at him

“For the first time am seeing Dora Baxter pray! What are you even praying for?”He asked

“Its none of your business”I replied

“Are you perhaps wishing harm on some one,Cause I just can’t believe that you will be praying for some thing good”

“And what if I told you that I was indeed praying for some thing good”

“I won’t believe because I know you Dora and i know that you are so selfish,Tell me? How can a selfish person pray for some thing good”

“Get ready,The rehearsal is about to start”He added and he was about to leave when I pulled him back

“What’s your problem with me Brian? Ever since that day,You have been acting like a jerk towards me, What did I do?”I asked

“You dare to ask me that! Fine I would give you a hint on why am behaving this way,I hate liars and you are one of them, There is some thing you are keeping a secret and I hope that when I find out this secret of yours,It won’t be too late for you”He said and walk off

I stood shocked,Did he know the truth,Has Nina told him about my real identity.

BRIAN POV
“Now that the vows have been made,You can slip the ring on her finger”The priest said and I did what he asked.

Though I keep on wishing that Nina would be the one standing here and not Dora

I don’t know why I kept shut about it,I should have just confronted her about it

Maybe I would have gotten some answers by now.

While slipping on the ring, I thought about the day the only witness I had was shot In the head.

I was in the office preparing the ritual arrangement for the dead man when Andrew walked in.

“Did you get hold of the shooter”I asked

“No we didn’t,Am sorry your Highness”He said bowing

“Damn! That man was the only witness,He was the only hope I had in catching the person who wanted me dead but now he is gone”I said angrily

“Not every thing is gone your Highness,I think there is some thing odd about this”Andrew told me

“What’s odd?”

“Lady Dora, She went missing when we were doing the search and if you noticed,Our witness was pointing at her before he was shot in the head and also she keeps on being there each time you are in danger,Don’t you find it odd?”Andrew suggested

I thought about it for a while and then I asked “Are you trying to say that Dora is the one who wants me dead”

“There is a possibility your Highness, These three points of ours certainly means some thing”

“We can’t jump to conclusion yet,Dora can be impulsive some time and she might look threatening too but she doesn’t have the courage to harm some one “I said

“Don’t be on her side your Highness, Lady Dora is some one we should suspect,She Might be the one who wants you dead”Andrew said

“To be honest I know that Dora have her own flaws but she wont want me dead”I said

“Any thing is possible your Highness,have worked in the security department for a long time and I know that Lady Baxter has a secret she is keeping”

“A secret,If so we have to find out”I added………………..

Its been hard though,It’s been a week now and we have found nothing on her,I thought as I stick the ring on her finger and stared at

I for one know that if it turn out to be true that she has been the one who has been planning the attack, Then I will make sure she pay dearly and to heck with the Merger.

DORA POV
As soon as the rehearsal was over,I took Nina to the balcony and when I was sure that no one was around us,I began to talk

“The prince knows that am lying”I said

“Lying? But how?”

“I don’t know,I don’t know how he found out or who told him but he suspects me”

“What should we do about this! Should we call THE BOSS”she asked

“No,If he should find out about this,He will be so furious and would do some thing to hurt Brian “I said

“You are right! What can be done,Brian must never find out the truth”

“And he won’t,I certainly won’t let him”I said

“Try talking to him,See what you can get out of him and i…… I will do some searching of my own too”I said

“Search about what exactly? “Some one asked behind us.

(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!
