I was walking through the hallway when I began to hear voices in a particular room. I went close to hear what they were saying.
I wasn’t trying to evesdrop, don’t get me wrong, I was only trying to get a hint of what it is that they were talking about.
I leaned my ear on the door and the first voice I heard clearly was Bella’s voice. I decided to knock on the door, ” come in. ” I heard Bella say.
I pressed the doorknob, pushing it open. ” Hi, Diana. ” She greeted with a smile.
” Hi, Bella. ” I greeted, smiling back at her.
” Is there a problem? ” She asked.
Is there??
Nah, not at all…
” No, there isn’t. I … ” My gaze met with ‘ him ’ who I suppose has been staring at me since I came. He was leaning against the window wall, with one of his hand hung on his chest and the other rested under his jaw.
I frowned at him, returning my gaze to Bella. ” I was just passing by when I heard your voice so I decided to say hi. Well, I can see you’re busy, I’ll just excuse myself then. ” I grinned at her, exiting the room.
I didn’t realize I have been holding my breath until I exhaled heavily.

Bella ✓
” What do you say about our alliance with the White Wolf pack? ” I asked Derek who was leaning against the wall, his eyes staring out of the window.
” I can’t join alliance with them, Bella, they are the least pack we can ever trust. ” He said, his gaze still outside the window.
” Trust? ” I asked, ” If there is anyone we can trust it’s them. “
” They are criminals, ” Micheal added which made me turn my gaze at him.
” Criminals? ” I can’t believe I was hearing this from them. ” You two aren’t being serious and you know that. The White Wolf are more sincere than any wolf pack, they’ve decided to join forces with us. Didn’t you read their letters? “
” Those are just make up words, Bella. “
” How sure are you they are make up words? ” I snapped at him, ” Like they asked for your help on making the letters? No, tell me, how sure are you? “
” I’m very certain. “
” How certain are you? “
” Very. ” I hummed.
” Take for instance, we can come up with a write up and send it to the White Wolf or to the Moon Walker packs or any other wolf pack requesting for their help which we’re certain we will get it. So, who knows if that’s what the White Wolf has done? “
” So, what your saying? We should go packs after packs all because you think the letter was framed up? “
” No, I suggest we keep the White Wolf aside for now. Or, we can rather send some spies to their territory. With that we can get to know what they are up to. “
” You want us to send a… Michael, for goodness sake are you even listening to yourself? Don’t you know they are likely to find out? Okay, what if they do, what are you gonna say? You didn’t mean to and you were only trying to save your pack? ” I said, mimicking him.
I looked at Derek who has been quiet for the whole time, he wasn’t making any effort about this and I hated the fact that I was the only one seeing reasons why we have to trust the White Wolf. ” What do you say about this Derek? “
A knock came at the door, I rolled my eyes at him for not replying my question. ” Come in. ” I permitted who it was knocking.
It was Diana and I quickly hid the angry look on my face with a smile. ” Hi, Diana. ” I greeted.
” Hi, Bella. ” She returned the smile.
” Is there a problem? ” I asked.
” No, there isn’t. I … ” Her eyes move to Derek who was also staring at her. I noticed the frown on her face as she returned her gaze at me. ” I was just passing by when I heard your voice so I decided to say hi. Well, I can see you’re busy, I’ll just excuse myself then. ” She grinned at me, exiting the room.
I slowly turned my head at Micheal who pretended not to have noticed anything. Then my gaze went to Derek who looked away almost immediately.
She still hates him, I’d say. And it was quiet obvious the moment she frowned at him.
I know after what he had done to her, it’s still something difficult for her to easily forget. Somehow, I just wish Derek can be a human for once.

Diana ✓
I never knew I would escape the terror of death until I shut the door behind me. It was almost like I was gonna die, so what, I’ll admit, I hate to look at that face.
I walked to nowhere then back to my room. After thirty minutes, I decided to go out for a walk again. Not outside, but within the castle. Those sick-headed guards won’t let me go out.
I must have forgotten, their only trying to save their neck.
I was getting bored staying in the room all alone and I just need someone to talk to. May was a lot busy with the other maids at the laundry room and getting her attention will be until night.
Bella on the other side wasn’t less busy so, I’m stucked to survey the castle all alone.
I went to one of the windows at the hallway, sitting on it as I stared down out of the castle. I saw a very big field, much like a football field.
There were group of people both young girls and boys training. They also seem to be having fun with it. Some were into the archery, some were with the sword and some were having a karate exercise.
Very impressive.
I was enjoying it, and sitting my ass here wasn’t helping. But… those sick-headed guards down stairs, what am I gonna tell them?
« Okay, I’m a repented girl and you can keep an eye on me if you want. Or worst still have my head cut off if I try escaping. »
I touched my neck, no, not my head.
I grunted. What now?!
Nevermind, I’ll make them believe me. I said to myself, picking the courage as I trailed down the stairs.
There he came, approaching from the opposite side to my direction. My heart started beating, like it was gonna break free out of my chest.
He wasn’t looking frightful, but damn, my legs were shivering that I almost slipped and fell but I held myself.
He stopped at my front, his eyes leaving mine to my neck. He furrowed his brows as he stared at the necklace.
” How did you get this? ” He asked in a husky voice.
I was still shivering and even to say a ‘hi’ was like pushing a ten storey building.
” I’m gonna ask again, how did you get this? ” He repeated, sounding more angry.
” I… I… B… ” I couldn’t find the words as they left my lips entirely. ” I… “
He grabbed my hand tight, ” Do you know how much that necklace means to me? “
” I… I’m sorry, I don’t know. ” I stared at him with a pleading eyes that honestly, I never knew it had something to do with him.
He grip was getting tighter, ” You shouldn’t have something that doesn’t belong to you. This is my home, you just don’t take whatever you see. ” He yelled.
Tears trailed down my cheeks as I tried taking my hands off his strong hand. I moaned in pains, hoping that will be enough for him to notice how painful his grip was.
” Let me go. Let me go, you’re hurting me. “
He dropped my hand down, ” I’m not gonna warn you again. “
” You’re scaring me, ” I sniffed. ” I hate you! I hate you so much!! ” Holding my affected wrist, I ran back to my room.
Bella called me as I ran to my room but I didn’t stop, I don’t wanna talk to anyone now. I just wanna be alone!!!

Epilogue:
” I know, Diana but… This is a feeling, and I trust my instincts on this. Alpha Derek will win this war but… something will come after it. “
★ ★ ★ ★
It took five days before the battle was over. And after that day, Derek went missing. For years… Nine year, he was nowhere to be found.
The battle went well with alpha Derek winning as May had foretold. He conquered the White Wolf Pack, now claiming it to be his.
But who will be their new leader when their new alpha has gone missing??
Who will be there to protect the two packs from any future intruders??
Although Diana tried to believe that he was dead, but her heart keeps telling her that he isn’t.
And even as Lucas has grown enough to take over the throne, Diana still refuses to crown him as the next Alpha.
She knew he was gonna come back, she knew Derek will one day come back to claim what rightfully belongs to him… and he did.
But… that was on the same day Diviana and Lucas turned twenty.

(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!
