“What do you mean by that? Am late as it is, so just get out of my way “Celine said trying to push past the maids who stood in front of her.
“Just as you can be stubborn, I can too and so you won’t be leaving and they would be there to make sure you do as I say” Stacey said
“What? Why do you insist on keeping me locked in? Is it because of what happened yesterday, I can handle it Stacey, so stop being a mother hen “Celine said
“Call me what ever you want but you won’t be going to college today. I was so worried about you ,I can’t risk it and so you would be staying here”Stacey said again.
“Says who!!!”Celine yelled suddenly starring at them.
“If you don’t let me pass right now, I will make sure you all are fired and I mean it”Celine said and the maids who stood in front of her looked uncertain and quickly they moved out of the way for her.
“You just won’t listen! Why are you so sturbborn ?”Stacey said after her.
“Just because some one is out there who wants to kill me doesn’t mean I should live my life locked up”Celine said as she limped towards the lift
“But you were fine doing that some weeks ago!”Stacey added as she kept walking after her
“That is because I was sad but not any more “Celine said remembering how she lived locked up for a year and that gave her expression a sad one.
“Oh I’m sorry Celine, I didn’t mean to …….”
“It’s okay, am going out as it is and today, I will be going to school and you won’t be able to stop me”Celine said as they got into the lift together.
She had almost died here last night and if it hadn’t been for Nick who came to her rescue she would have been dead.
Remembering Nick brought a smile on her face and Stacey who had been watching her, expecting to witness her claustrophobic attack was shocked to see her smiling.
She couldn’t get to ask Celine about it because the lift door opened and they walked out of it.
Celine was expecting to see Nick but the slim man dressed in black wasn’t Nick and the smile on her face died immediately.
“What’s going on? Where is Nick?” Celine asked
“I forgot to tell you, Nick left early this morning and he asked his boss to send you a new guard that will take you to school”
“Why? Where is he?”Celine asked starring at her
“He went out, he didn’t tell us where he was going?” Stacey said
“You should have told me this earlier?”Celine yanked.
“So you won’t go to school right?”Stacey asked hoping Celine wouldn’t go to school
“No, I will be going to school and Nick better be there when I get there “Celine said as she began walking out of the house.
Where could he have gone to so early in the morning and why didn’t he tell her where he was going to? She thought as the guard started the car.
“Well Miss Clifford, I’m James, Nick colleague at …….”
“Nick asked you to come personally right?” Celine asked suddenly cutting off his words
“Yes he did and I…..”
“You must also know where he is right?”She asked eagerly
“Yes i do and i ……”
“Take me there!”She said suddenly
“Take you where?”
“Take me to where he is? You said you know where Nick is right? So take me to him”Celine said
“I don’t think that is a good idea, I ……”
“Nick left me in charge of some one else, that alone can lose him his job, so If you don’t want your friend to lose his job, you will take me to where he is right now!”Celine said using her authoritative attitude, she knew it works perfectly and it will certainly work with him.
“Fine then,I will take you there”the guard replied as he drove the car through another lane.
He drove for a while and while he kept on driving Celine kept on wondering where Nick could be? Who is he with and why did he leave with out telling her a thing.
Why wouldn’t he tell her where he is headed to? They were not that close, she thought to her self and just then she remembered the gentle way he was with her last night and she made a conclusion that she and Nick were close enough for him to tell her where he was going to…..
“We are there Miss”The guard said interrupting her thought and she stared through the window to see that they were parked in front of a restaurant.
“Why would Nick be here……”she stopped mid way when she saw Nick sitting on one of the empty chair starring at the food in front of him and he wasn’t alone, there was Alicia sitting in front of him starring at him too.
“Would you like to go to them?” The guard asked
“No,just take me to school instead” Celine replied and the guard turned the car around heading for Celine School.
She didn’t know why but she felt sad and hurt seeing Nick and Alicia together.
Mean while Nick sat at the restaurant, his break fast still untouched and starring at Alicia who sat starring at him
“I asked to see you this early , so I can be back at the college for my class”she said starring at Nick
“We had to talk some time”Nick replied as he began to eat his food.
“You need to come back”Alicia began softly
“I dont want to!” Nick replied
“Why? Why don’t you wanna come back?” Alicia asked
“That place isn’t for me, I don’t belong there any way, you were there that night, you heard it all, you should also know that is why I left”Nick replied
“I know what I heard and i don’t care, to me you are still you and i love you all the same. So please come back home, I beg you to come back”She said
“Am sorry Alicia, I have already made a life for my self here, I don’t want to go back”Nick said
“You really are cruel, Thomas is right! You never cared for us, you only thought of your self, that is why you left, you never even thought of me. ” Alicia said now crying
“I did, I do think of you Alicia, you are the only one I have been thinking of ever since I left. I don’t want to go back Alicia, support me on this, I have made a life here and you came here too to study and also for the competition, we can be close here”
“I don’t want that, I want you back with us Nick”She said again
“My answer will remain the same Alicia, I will not leave and now that I have to protect…..”
“To protect who? Why don’t you just finish it….you became a guard and knowing how I feel about Celine, you decided to be her guard”Alicia said crying again
“What do you mean by the way you feel About Celine? “
“Don’t act like you didn’t know!”
“What are you talking about? Do you know Celine before?”
“Of course, she was my competetor, My rival, she always won, while I took the second place. I felt so sad and I hated my self for always losing to her”Alicia said, a hint of anger sounded in her voice.
“I never knew, Alicia,! I swear”Nick said taking hold of her shaking hand
“How could you! You were always working, travelling from one place to another, you never even showed up for once in my competition, you never saw how I was suffering because of Celine”Alicia said again.
“Alicia…..am sorry”Nick said trying to console her.
“It was a blessing when she had that accident Nick…..I was able to run freely and I won each race, I would have been really happy if you had been there but you had left, not bothering to tell us where you were for a year and then i saw you again at the charity event that day and it turns out that you were her guard, Celine Clifford guard….isn’t life some thing”Alicia said.
Nick didn’t know how to console Alicia. A year ago he had been working hard, traveling from places building the empire they were going to inherit some day, he never knew that Alicia was suffering because she could not beat Celine and now that she was on the lead,it turns out that Nick is working for her.
“You can keep on doing your thing and I won’t ask you to go back home again but there is some thing you must know,he is here Nick, he came looking for you, I didnt tell him that I have met with you again but he came and he is looking for you”Alicia said.
Nick didn’t have to ask who was looking for him because he already knew who it was.
“Thanks for the info, let’s meet up some other time, now I have a job to do “Nick said and giving her a little peck on the cheek, he left the restaurant.

(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!
