Valerie remained standing and staring at the direction Jericho had taken. He really left, didn’t he? Jericho left.

Tears rested at the brink of her eyes, but she tried so much not to let it drop because she didn’t want to do anything that’d ruin her makeup and get her mother worried.

Why was she feeling this way, anyways? She shouldn’t be affected by his absence right? So, why the hell was it seeming to affect her?

She stared at the gift box in her hands, a rueful smile hitting at her.

“Valerie?” She suddenly heard her name from behind and quickly turned to see… Hold on, Lincoln?

Her eyes glinted immediately as the sadness she had been feeling a while ago got replaced with anger.

“What’re you doing here?” She snapped, observing the fact he had a gift with him

“Calm down, Valerie. I’m not here for trouble. Please”. Lincoln said with a sigh and Valerie gawped at him.

Then, he held out the wrapped gift to her.

“Happy birthday, Val…”

“I don’t need your gift, Lincoln!” She cut him off.
“So, take it away from me and leave my party before I ask the guards to make you leave!”

There was a stunned silence.

“We were together for years, Lincoln’: she continued, her voice sounding calmer.

“I… I thought we were in love but…you suddenly left me simply because I had some temporary issues. Really, Lincoln?”

“I never wanted any of this, Valerie” Lincoln stated frustratedly.
“It…it wasn’t entirely my fault. I mean,
You started moving around with that Jericho guy, doing a lot of things with him and dating him”.

“Dating?” Valerie scoffed
“And what the f**k are you talking about?”

“Well, that was what I heard. That was what she told me. She…we told me he’d put the spots on you and in exchange, you were to date and sleep with him. At first, I didn’t want to believe it, but then, one morning, I’d seen you driving out of the house and decided to follow you. And unfortunately, you had really gone to his place. I was heartbroken, Val. I was heartbroken”.

Valerie was already in confusion.

“Hold on, Lincoln” she scoffed. ”
“What *she* are you talking about?”

Lincoln hesitated a little before replying with the name:
“Sally”.

Valerie gasped immediately and took a step backwards.

“S… Sally?” She paused and scoffed. “Have… Have you gone crazy? You almost ruined my life and now, you want to ruin my friendship?”

“Why would I lie about this, Val? How else did I get to know about the spots and your relationship with Jericho? How else?? It was only because Sally had told me about it. Yes, she did and I believed her” Lincoln enthused, making Valerie drown in shock.

Whaat??

Her breath wavered as she took her gaze to the floor, moving back a bit.

Sally? Her Sally?? Sally…was the snitch??
But…But why? How?

“It’s not possible” she shook her head pathetically, the shock so obvious on her.
“It’s not… it’s not possible. Sally can’t do that”.

Lincoln sighed and proffered the gift out to her again.

“Happy birthday once more, Val” he muttered, but Valerie didn’t look at him; she couldn’t.

And in that state, she turned around and ran away.

She stopped at some point and thought about it, tears threatening to spill her eyes.

Sally? Sally was her best friend! The only friend she had. Why would she snitch on her? Betray her and destroy her relationship? Why??

Her chest was rising and falling rapidly due to how angry she was and just then, her mother showed up.

“Valerie!” She called with relief.
“Finally! I’ve been looking for you, honey. It’s time for you to march in already”.

Valerie was silent as a tear finally slipped through her eye.

“My God! Are you crying??” Mrs Houston gasped.
“You’ll ruin your make up! What the hell is the problem?”

Valerie was sniveling and without saying a word, she ran away.

“Valerie! Valerie!” Mrs Houston called and ran after her, but she wouldn’t stop

She ran back to her room and thankfully, Sally was still in there and immediately landed a burning slap to her cheek.

“Valerie!” Mrs Houston gasped from behind.

“You snake!” She gritted, pointing a finger at Sally who was holding her cheek.

“How could you? How could you think of betraying me after everything we’ve been through?”

Sally was gobsmacked and looked at her.

“Valerie…”

“Don’t say a word!” She snarled. “you lied to me, you animal! I trusted you, yet you’d gone ahead to tell Lincoln every of my secrets and even added some lies to it. How could you, you snake?!”

Contrition gripped Sally immediately as she stared down at the floor and Valerie couldn’t help but feel more hurt, knowing the accusations were true because she couldn’t even defend herself.

“How could you, Sally?” She whimpered.

“Well, it isn’t my fault, Valerie!” Sally suddenly yelled.
“Yes! What did you expect? We were friends, Valerie but you were always being the attractive one – the one after the boy’s hearts.

“Take a look at Lincoln, Mathews, Rollins, even Jericho! It has always been you, Valerie! Always been you!”

Valerie slapped her again, harder than the first and her mother had to hold her this time around.

“That’s enough… Please” she muttered.

“You’re so pathetic” said Valerie to Sally. “And you really think betraying me would do you any good?? You really think destroying the happiness of others would make you happy? Tell me, Sally, did you really think so?!”

Tears were already gushing down Sally’s cheeks as well and without hesitation, she hurried out of the room.

“hey baby, come here” Mrs Houston cooed and pulled her into a hug, letting her cry on her shoulders.

Valerie jumped out of bed, her hand over her mouth as she ran into the toilet with full force.

She had barely gotten to the seat before the thick liquid came rushing out of her mouth and she groaned as she emptied it all in.

Oh God..!

She wrapped her hand over her tummy which had been hurting her a lot and leaned her back on the wall, feeling so so weak.

She reached for the toilet paper, rolled out some and wiped her mouth with it.

Goodness! When would this be over huh? She was so tired of being sick already.

She remained there on the floor, her eyes closed as she felt so debilitated and just then, she heard footsteps.

“Ma’am Valerie” the voice called from the other side of the door.
It was obviously a maid.

“Your mother wants you down for breakfast, ma’am”.

It took long before Valerie found the strength to reply.

“Tell her I’ll be there” she answered feebly and heard the maid leave.

(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!
