Celine stood in front of the college waiting for Nick.
“I have Nick now and I love him very much” what she said earlier came back to haunt her.
Why did she say it? If any one else had been watching them,they would have thought that she was saying the truth…..or was she really saying the truth.
She better not, this is not a time for her to fall in love., she had to study and then get back her father company from her step father and besides Nick isn’t some one who will fall for her, he only sees her as some one he had to protect and there was Alicia in the picture.
The way he looks at her isn’t the way a man will look at his friend.
Why did she have to fall for Nick, why did she always fall for the complicated guys? She thought as she stood at the entrance waiting for Nick to show up, where did he even go to?.
She was contemplating where he could have gone to when a car stopped in front of her.
A man who was in his mid thirties walked towards her,having a smile on his face.
Did he find her attractive even with her being an handicap, she thought as he finished scrutinising her
“Can you tell me how to get to the art department?”He asked and some how Celine found his voice to be familiar, weird isnt it? She thought as she kept starring at the stranger who was now standing in front of her.
“If you keep on walking straight, you will see it,it isn’t that far from here?”Celine replied
“Okay then! Thank you”He said and walked past her.
She stiffened when she got a whiff of his smell, it was the same smell, the man that….that….with out thinking further she went after him and stopped him by putting a hand on his arm.
“What’s wrong miss?”the stranger asked as he saw Celine pale face.
“Are you ill? I can take you to the hospital”The stranger said and quickly she let go of him.
“No…. For a while I thought you were some one I knew”she said as she began to limp back.
“Thomas!”Alicia called taking the attention of the stranger.
Celine turned to stare at the Alicia who ran towards Thomas hugging him tight
What would Nick think once he sees them together, she thought as she stood starring at them, she didn’t realise she had been starring when Thomas stared at her.
He had a weird look on his face and he even gave her a smile while he was still holding onto Alicia.
“Celine!”Nick called and quickly she turned to stare at him
He got to her side before she fell on the floor and he held her tight in his arms.
By now the scene made by Celine and Nick had gotten Alicia and Thomas attention.
“What’s wrong Celine?”Nick asked as he held Celine in his arms.
“Please……take me home!”She whispered softly and immediately Nick carried her in his arms and it was then he noticed Thomas and Alicia watching them.
He walked off with out acknowledging, putting Celine in the car he drove back to the mansion.
“What was that about?”Thomas asked Alicia who stood beside him starring at the car which had drove off already.
“That’s Nick new job!”Alicia replied starring at her older brother.
” I know he is a guard but then is that lady the one he is looking after?”Thomas asked
“Yes! That’s Celine….Celine Clifford, my rival or perhaps should I say my previous rival, she is now handicap, should I say that it’s a blessing in disguise ?”Alicia said
“Celine Clifford you say”Thomas Asked
“Yes! You must remember her right? I always nag to you about her in the past”
“Yes you did! It’s really a good thing that she had that accident right?”Thomas said as he gave Alicia a smile which she returned.
“Did you get to reacquaint your self with Nick?”Alicia asked
“Let’s save that for Some other day, now I want to spend some time with my beautiful sis”Thomas said as he walked with her to his car, no one not even Alicia noticed the smile lurking on his face.
“Come back here! Come back here!”Two men said as they kept on running after Celine.
She ran as her legs could carry her, she was still running when she got to the busy street.
She ran into the road not watching where she was going and a car drove straight at her .
The last thing she heard was a man voice, a man who walked out of the car starring down at her, a man whom she couldn’t see his face.
“Help….help me please! Help” Celine cried out and Nick who was on the siting on the chair beside her began to shake her until she opened her eyes.
“Celine!”He said starring down at her worriedly
“Nick!”She called and hugged him tight.
He held her too, he had been so worried when he saw her looking pale at the college and when she was brought home, she became more ill, he had been sitting by her bed side since she took Ill the day before and her yell had woken up.
“It’s okay you are with me now!”Nick said as he tried soothing her and her shivering stopped.
“It must have been a bad night mare”He said a while later when she was fully calm
“Yes”she muttered softly
“What was it about?”Nick asked
“The day of my accident”She said softly
“Care to tell me about it?”He asked
“No,I want to get some sleep Nick, can I be alone for a while?”She said as she moved out of his arms.
Nick had like that she was in his arms but when she pulled away it some how made it feel empty and knowing that her attitude is suddenly being cold, he felt a little angry as he stood up.
“Get some sleep, you need it” he muttered as he left the room.
“Is she awake?”Stacey asked as she stared at Nick who was closing the door
“Yes she is but she wants to be alone”Nick said
“Why? I have to see her, to know if she is really fine”Stacey said
“You will just have to trust my word Stacey and besides there is some thing I still want to ask you”Nick said as he pulled her away from Celine door.
“What’s that?”
“It’s about Celine accident? Do you know how it occurred?”Nick asked and Stacey gave a long sigh.
“You see am only asking because she was dreaming about it and……”
“Dreaming? Did you just say that Celine was dreaming about it?” Stacey asked making Nick feel more confused
“Yes she was? Is there some thing wrong if she dream about it?”Nick asked
“No…..not all…..well it’s just that Celine lost her memory”
“Memory?”
“Yes, she doesn’t know about it but the doctor told us on the night of her accident that she lost some part of her memory and that proved right when she told us that she only Remembered the part of her running for her life, she doesnt Remember what happen after or before that night.”Stacey said
“And so if you said that she was dreaming about it then certainly her memories are coming back right?”Stacey asked
“Am not really sure of that but tell me, can’t you remember some thing odd that happened that night, maybe a clue,it could help lead us to the man who is after Celine life”Nick said hoping she knew some thing.
“Well I do remember some thing and its about her shoe?”Stacey said starring at him
“About her shoe? Tell me more Stacey”Nick said .
Bruce sat in his office going through some files when his secretary knock twice on the door before walking in.
“Sorry to bother you sir but you have a guest”She said looking a bit apprehensive
“Am not meeting any one Shasha, just cancel every one of my appointment”Bruce said
“Am lucky i didn’t make an appointment then”Thomas said as he walk into the room
“Even if you didn’t make an appointment, I still do not want to see any one, leave now”Bruce said
” Why don’t you listen to a proposition I have for you, you would certainly love it”Thomas said
“I have no interest ……”
“Not even when it pertains to company”Thomas said and Bruce stopped what he was doing to stare at him
“Now that have gotten your attention, let’s talk about the proposition I have for you”Thomas said.

(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!
