The two of them went in search for her outside the castle, into the woods.
Diana has lost her way, and she stood confused not knowing what to do.
There were four pathways and she doesn’t know which to follow. Taking the straight road nor returning back wasn’t Diana’s choice, neither taking the left or right turn is.
Which way is then?
She decided to take the straight road when she heard voices. She quickly went into the forest to hide, waiting to see who it was coming.
There he came with a lady beside him. They stopped and she hid her body behind a tree.
But unknown to her, werewolves aren’t just animals nor ordinary humans. He could hear her heart beat echoing like a drum in his ears.
” She’s here, ” he said, looking at the direction of the tree she was hiding.
She knows… She knows he has seen her.
She left her hiding place, running more deeper into the woods. He alongside with Bella chased after her.
She kept running that she didn’t know she was reaching to the dead end of the road.
She slipped and tumbled several times down the hill, landing her head against a stone.
She groaned, rubbing her forehead. She stood to continue only to find him standing before her.
She turned to make an attempt of following the other side when he grabbed her by the hand, pulling her back and slamming her angrily against a tree.
He held her throat tight, frowning at the rolls of blood that fell out of her forehead.
She struggled to let go but his grip was way too stronger than her effort.
” Where do you think you’re going to? ” He angrily asked, folding his fist tighter around her neck.
He could feel the pains as if he were strangling himself, the feelings as if his air lungs were gradually getting closed.
And he hated why he was feeling that way, especially now he wanted to punish her for disobeying.
” Derek, stop! ” Bella yelled and he immediately let go off her.
Diana fell to the ground, almost coughing out her lungs. ” What were you thinking? ” She asked, throwing him an angry gaze.
” Come on, ” she helped her stand to her feet, ” let’s take you home. ” She held her for support as they returned back to the castle.
Even as they walked back, Diana still held her neck. They got to her room, sitting on the bed.
” I’m sorry, ” she apologized on behalf of Derek, ” he didn’t mean to hurt you. I mean, it wasn’t supposed to be this way. “
Diana said nothing. She can’t stop imagining her state of being if Bella hadn’t intervened. Where would she have been by now?
” What were you thinking? How on earth did you walk pass through those guards? “
Diana still kept mute at her.
” Look, I know you’re angry and you have every right to be. I understand what it feels like to be taken against your will, to choose a life you don’t want to live. But,,,, you wouldn’t have been here if we had to inform you first. “
” You don’t know what it feels like to be taken from the people you love, ” she finally talked, ” from your dreams, your career, your future, your happiness. It’s the most painful thing you ever want to taste, cos it hurts… a lot. “
” I understand. “
” No, you don’t. ” She said, painfully. ” None of you do. It’s like loosing the whole world, everything you’ve risked for just for some fucking destiny. “
” Diana… “
” Don’t call my name! ” She yelled. ” I just wanna go home, I wanna be free and far away from here. I just wish this is all a dream. I just hate it here, I hate everything in here! ” She bursted out in tears.
Bella pulled her into a hug, ” It’s okay to hate it here, and it’s totally fine to hate everyone of us. But I just wanna let you know, sometimes we find ourselves in a circumstances we can never run away from and we’re just left to face it just the way it is. No matter how hard we try to fight it away, it ends up coming the more. We have no choice, Diana, but to follow whatever fate decides for us. “
” It’s not that easy, ” she said in between the sob, sniffing hard.
” I know, it never is. But you have to, Diana, you have to give it a try. “
She left her to sleep, shutting the door gently behind her. She headed to her room when he came out of nowhere, stopping her in her tracks.
” How is she? ” He asked.
” She’s fine, she’s asleep. ” She sighed. ” I think she needs some time to think and accept her fate. “
” How long? “
” I don’t know. ” She shook her head. ” I think you should give her some space, she’ll get to understand the bond sooner than you’ll expect. “
She left to her room.
From where he stood, he could feel the pains he has caused her. And it burnt him like he had done it to himself.
Back in the woods, he could have strangled her to death. If not of Bella, he almost went extra mile to punish her.
He has always hated humans for one thing… the same thing all the time… Disobedience.
But why…?
Why would she behave like them? Why will she try to hurt him? And why would she want him to hurt her too?
He has to give her some time to realize her fate, but how long will that have to take?
How long does he have to wait for her… To accept her destiny?
Days…?
Weeks…??
Months…??
Or even… Years???
The thoughts bothered him, that he couldn’t stop hating himself for doing what he did in the woods. He wasn’t ready to look into those pleading eyes, those eyes that begged him for mercy.
He has longed to stare into them, but when he finally did, anger took over him. How is she now? Is she okay? Does it still hurts?
Why is it only him who understands this feelings more than anyone?
Why all of a sudden was he feeling so weak, so loosed just because of one human?
He wanted to go to her room, but on a second thought he declined. The two thoughts battled in his head and he was left with no choice but to go even though there wasn’t any winner between his conscience.
He pulled the door knob down, making way for himself into her room. Everywhere was dark, but he could see her body laid on the bed.
He didn’t want to disturb, he sat beside her. He loves to watch her sleep and she looks adorable while she sleeps, her breath felt soft against the skin as she breathed calmly.
And he can’t help but stare at her peaceful slumber with compassion and gratitude. Just being by her side feels heaven.
Staring at those lips made him want to have them in his, the urge gradually growing and almost about to go climaxed, he stood up.
Taking in a deep breath. ” No, not now. ” He consoled himself, staring at her for the last time.
He left.

(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!
