Nick walked around the mansion searching for Celine, ever since she got the invitation, she has gone to her bed room or he thought so.
Stacey had gone in search of her only to come back telling him that Celine is not in her room, they began the search together and Nick was just coming back from the garden when he met Stacey.
“Have found her, she is in her father room, I should have thought of that before saying she is missing”she said and Nick walked past her with out saying a thing heading to the room of Celine father.
“Celine only goes there if she wants to think, you should leave her alone”Stacey said trying to stop him
“I will deal with what ever she sends my way”Nick said as he walked the few paces to the room and then walked in with out knocking.
She was standing by the window and didn’t look back when he walked into the big room
“Leave! I want to be alone”She said not looking back
“You look awful”He said and she looked at him, she looked away quickly to wipe off the tears though he had seen it already.
“Don’t!”He said
“Don’t what ?”she asked as she glared at him angrily.
She had been thinking of him and had come to this room to try to forget him, she always find her self thinking of her dad and she needed her father memory to wipe off Nick but still it wouldn’t.
She love him and knowing he would never love her back hurts…when she had asked if he would Marry her,he had thought she was joking but she wasn’t and now here he was again bothering her.
“Don’t cry! It doesn’t suit you”he said
“Look have had enough of you telling me wat to do and I…..”She stopped when he pulled her into his arms hugging her tight
“You shouldn’t cry when am not around, do it when I am”he said softly and Celine found her self hugging him close for more comfort.
It was a while later that she pulled out of his arms starring out through the window.
“Feeling better?”he asked
“Yes”she replied as she turned stare at him
“Are you worried about the issue on ground?”he asked
“That and others”she replied
“You know ! Have never worried about a thing in my life because my father was always there to deal with it but when he died,I felt so alone and sometimes stupid, I could barely under stand how the company runs and that is why Bruce took over, if I had known that this sort of thing will happen,I would have stopped it and even though I knew nothing, I would have tried to learn some thing, I feel like have let my father down”she said
“No! You haven’t,you were in grief for him and also for the career you lost, you trusted Bruce and left the company in his hands, you aren’t stupid Celine, you are just too trusting and if your father was still alive, he would be proud of the woman you have become”he said patting her head gently.
“You sound like my father you know”She said smiling at him
“Are you trying to say that am an old man?”He asked and she laughed again
“You sure do look like one”she replied starring out through the window and Nick found him self watching her.
She looks beautiful when she is smiling and when she is sad….it some how made him sad and maybe that is because he……..
No! He wouldn’t think of that! He is not Inlove with her, he might be attracted to her but to be in love….that’s a no…he had been in love once and that had ended bad, he is not ready to tie his heart down to another woman and certainly not to Celine.
He turned to speak only to find her starring at him.
“What’s wrong?”She asked
“Nothing! I think I will head to my room now”he said and began to walk off and then stopped again to look at her
“Remember do not cry if am not around, some one night run off if they see your ugly face when you cry and we don’t want that or do we?”He asked and she gasped out wanting to retaliate with all sort of insults but then he walked out of the room ending what ever thing she was about to say.
Celine stood in front of the mirror, all dressed in a blue chiffon gown which brought out her slenderness and her figure.
She was still thinking about her decision to go when the door opened to reveal Nick in the door way
“Are you ready?” He asked
“Yes!”She replied as she turned to look at him
“Still haven’t changed your mind yet?”He asked Softly
“I haven’t and nothing will change my mind Nick, if you…….”
“I know…. I know …..I know , once you have made your decision, no one can change it, not even me, so all I can say is that it’s time for us to go”Nick said cutting Celine off.
“Are you coming with me?”she asked and he nodded in reply
“Look it’s not a must that you…….”
“Am going with you and that is that !”He said as he held her hand.
Celine found her self starring at him, dressed in a different suit, he look chic and sophisticated, like some one who had grown in wealth and that is odd, she had always thought that he was just a single man, working to make money but seeing him now…..it made her realise also that she hardly knows a thing about Nick.
“Shall we?”He said bringing her back to reality and she went with him willingly.
As they took off to Thomas new house for the party, Celine sat in silence thinking about the party ahead and Nick too was wondering what Thomas and Bruce was planning.
They got out of the car and walked in arm in arm.
They were taken to the front seat by her father Personal assistant.
A seat which consists of her mother, Bruce, Thomas and Alicia.
“Welcome”Thomas greeted starring at Nick and Celine linked arm
“I thought you wouldn’t show up “He said this starring at Celine.
“But we did and how can I miss coming to a party, it’s been long since have been to one”she said this starring at her mother and Bruce.
“Look if you are going to cause a scene here then ……”
“I don’t intend to, I only cause a scene at party which I hate and at parties which have been forced to,be rest assured Brice, I don’t intent to stain your name here”she said giving him a huge smile.
“With that said, you should take a seat”Thomas said and Nick pulled out the chair for Celine and when she was seated, he began to pull out a chair but Thomas raised his hand stopping him
“This table isn’t for employees, join the table over there “Thomas said.
He was doing this to piss Nick off and he knew he was succeeding but Nick wouldn’t let him win by causing a scene
“I want my….. “
“Its okay Celine! I will just stay at the other table,if you need any thing just call”He said gently touching her cheek before walking off .
Celine felt braver with Nick beside her and now that Nick was gone she felt insecure.
She turned to see Alicia looking at Nick hungrily.
Not noticing that she was being watched by Celine, Alicia turned to her brother.
“Why did you do that to Nick ?”
“He wants me to pretend not to know him and so I must do as he have requested, now keep on eating, we are being watched by Celine”Thomas muttered at her and Alicia turned to stare at Celine.
She hated her in the past and now more than ever she hates her more and that’s because she taking all of Nick attention.
Seeing her walk in with his arms in hers got her so mad,she hates seeing other girls with Nick and that’s because she wants him for her self..
In the past she had been fine when she knew him as her brother but every thing changed when they knew the truth a year ago.
The feelings she had kept long buried resurfaced and now more than ever she wants him, she wants Nick for her self, she thought still starring at Celine.
“How have you been Celine?”Her mother voice made her look away from Alicia who had been glaring at her
“Don’t you think it’s too late to ask that?”Celine replied
“Why can’t you be civil to me for once, am just asking about your ……”
“If you truly wanted to know, you would have called a long time ago ….look am having a tough time as it is, don’t add to it “Celine said and turned to see Thomas starring at her..
He has been starring at her ever since she walked into the room and that had got her feeling shivery.
She must admit that she came to this party to get him to tell her what he meant in his letter and she will make sure she gets it.
Still holding his gaze, she stood up, limping towards Thomas
“Would you like to dance?”she asked ignoring every one and just starring at him alone.
“Though as you all can see that am an handicap and you would probably be thinking that I might do it right but I can and I will show you only if you accept to dance with me”she added waiting for him to give her a reply.
He smiled softly , a smile which made his harsh face more softer and handsome
“Well,I would like you to show me”he said getting up and taking her out stretched hand.
Together they walked to the danced floor and though it was hard at first, she began to move softly in his arms and she wouldn’t deny that he helped her a bit in the movement, some thing she was grateful for.
“So am I to think that you asked me to dance because you want to or is to get me away so we could talk?”He asked
“I would only ask a man for a dance to talk to him”She said and he smiled
“Then hurry before the song end”He said
“What do you mean in that letter of yours?”
“What exactly?”he asked innocently
“You said you might be able to help rectify this situation”she said
“Ahhhhh…..so you brought me here to ask for my help?”He asked
.
“Don’t flatter your self, I just want to know how you intend on rectifying it, you know what you and Bruce are……”
“Shhh…..this is a party….let’s save the business talk for later and savour this moment”he said
“But I……”
“Your guard keeps on looking at us? Should I see him as threat?”He asked softly as he turned her in his arms so she was now looking at Nick who sat watching her.
“Are you two in a relationship?”Thomas asked
“No we aren’t, Nick is just my guard and he has made it his job to protect me” she said
“Oh ……so what you are saying is that the only affection he has towards you is that of protection”He asked
“Yes”she replied still starring at Nick
“Well if you say it that way, I will just have to believe, just be careful of him, I think he is some one hiding a lot and lot of secrets”Thomas said and she stared at him
“What do you mean by that? Do you know Nick?”she asked suddenly.

(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!
