Valerie and the woman continued running until they were far enough and sure they weren’t being followed anymore

Valerie was breathing heavily, her heart beating so hard and as soon as she stopped running with the woman, she turned away and threw up.

“Hey, are you alright?” The woman ran to her and asked with deep concern, helping her up.

“I’m fine. I’m fine” replied Valerie in deep breaths.

Her chest was rising and falling so heavily, she sweated profusely and her waist hurt terribly due to the unusual race she’d undertaken some seconds ago. She felt like she was going to pass out any moment from then.

The woman noticed how tensed up she looked and looked around to see if she could find a place for her to seat, but she couldn’t as the entire place was covered with grasses.

“Young lady”, she called, looking back at Valerie.
“Who are you? And where do you come from?”

Valerie panicked instantly, if the woman was smart enough, she’d have noticed her hands shake at that instance.

Oh God! What does she do? She really needed some help here. And with the look of things, the woman looked like a nice person.

“Was that boy telling the truth?” She further asked.
“Are you… really not from this place?”

Valerie’s eyes dimmed. God! She was getting into more trouble.

“Talk to me. Where are you from?”

“I’m… he was lying” Valerie finally replied, but herself, she could notice she was lying.

The woman looked at her with scrutiny, then moved closer to her and stared deeply into her eyes.

“You’re from earth” she muttered, making Valerie’s heart skip.
How the hell did she know??

“You’re from earth!” She said again, this time around,in a gasp.

She paused and looked around,to be sure no one was watching. Then, turned back to look at Valerie.

“What’re you doing here? Don’t you know it’s so dangerous?? If anyone discovers you’re not from here, you’re getting killed Immediately!” She queried and timid Valerie just lowered her gaze to the floor.

God! She was so hungry and thirsty.

“I’m…. I’m not from earth” she tried to lie, but it wasn’t strong enough.

“Oh! Tell me what I don’t know” the woman rolled her eyes. “I know for sure, it’s so obvious even from your clothes”.

She paused and looked around again.

“You should come with me. It’s not safe out here. Come on”.
She held Valerie’s hand and ran away with her.

They walked for a long time, Valerie’s waist was hurting so terribly and felt kind of scared as they only kept going through bushes the whole time.

She was about questioning the woman to know if they were safe, when she finally spotted a small house in front of them.

“We’re home now” the woman answered the disturbing thoughts in her mind

Valerie who had been extremely tired, heaved a huge sigh of relief as she finally found “home”. At least, she had some shelter already.

Getting to the door, the woman brought out a key from her dress and opened the creaky door.

“Come in” she said to Valerie who quietly followed.

They got into the not – so – good looking house and Immediately, Valerie found a place to sit as her waist was hurting a lot. God! She could hardly breathe anymore.

“Please,get me some water” she forced herself to say, her heart beating so fast.

The woman didn’t hesitate a bit as she quickly rushed to get her the water and in less than a minute, she returned with a wooden cup of water.
Instantly, Valerie collected it from her and gulped every single drop, amusing the woman. She was really thirsty.

“Thank you” she finally uttered after the drink and handed the cup back to the woman.

“Um….do you need more?” The woman asked

“No, no. I’m fine now. Thank you”

She placed her hand on her chest, trying to get rid of the sick feeling she was getting tha was making her feel like she was going to throw up any moment from now.

The woman left and returned shortly with a napkin.

“What’re you doing here, dear? What’s your name? And why did you take such risk to come over to Atlancia?” The woman asked but Valerie didn’t reply as she stared away, feeling so uncomfortable at the question.

“Dear” , the woman sighed. “you really need to talk to me because that’s the only way I can help you. Else, I can’t shelter a total stranger in my house. If someone else sees you out there, they’ll definitely have you killed, just like the boy who tied you up and almost ràped you. It’s a written law dear, and right now, I can be severally punished if I’m being caught housing you at the moment. So, I need details please. Who are you?”

Valerie looked at her and could see the sincerity in her eyes. Maybe she really needed to open up to her.

“I …” She paused and sighed.
“My name is Valerie. And you’re right; I’m not from Atlancia, but a planet called Earth”.

“I knew it” The woman smiled. “I knew you were from earth. So, why did you come here dear? Who’re you looking for?”

Valerie was really uncomfortable with that question. But still, if she wanted to see Jericho, she needed to get help from someone.

“I’m…. I’m here to see Jericho” she replied and the woman’s eyes dimmed

“You mean prince Jericho?” She asked in surprise and Valerie only nodded

“Oh, my…why are you looking for him dear? Why would you come all the way here just to see the prince? Have you met him before?”

Valerie didn’t reply to that and smartly, the woman was able to fix the puzzle.

“Tell me I’m mistaken” she gasped. “You met the Prince during his mission on earth, and somehow…. you want to see him again”.

She searched Valerie’s eyes for answers and got what she needed from her silence.

“By the saviors! I’m correct!” She gasped again.
“Oh dear, are you sure that’s a great idea? It’s too risky. And…. I don’t know how Prince Jericho acted on earth, but over here, he’s different; entirely different – you might be so shocked when you see him”.

Valerie’s brows furrowed in Surprise. What’s she talking about?

“I .. I don’t understand” she shook her head. “How’s he different?”

The woman sighed and turned around to face a table which she wiped it with a napkin.

“I work in the palace” she Said. “As a cleaner. And today, I’ll be going to get some dirty clothes for washing. If you want, I could take you with me so you could see for yourself”.

Valerie was already panicking.

“But … wouldn’t I be seen as someone from a different planet?” She asked.

“No. Not if I give you our kind of dresses”. The woman shook her head and watched Valerie sniff

“Then….then, I’ll go with you. Of course, I’ll go with you”: she answered.

(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!
