Nick got back to the mansion only to see Stacey looking haggard and disturbed.
What was the matter? Where could Celine be? Could some thing have happened? He thought as he went towards her.
“Where is Celine? “Nick asked as he stared at her
“Well… she…..she”Stacey stopped to stare at him and when he was already thinking the worst,he heard her calling his name.
He turned to see the her walking out of the lift and quickly he ran towards her pulling her into a tight hug.
“What’s wrong?”Celine asked as she hugged him back fiercely.
She had been getting dressed, so she could go to him, Zack must be very important to him and knowing that the man is dead must be very devastating for Nick.
“Just let me hold you”He said softly pulling her into his embrace
Stacey had some how left them to be on their own.
“Hey! Am okay. I heard about Zack death.Am really sorry for your loss “she said as he moved out of her arms to stare down at her
“Thank you”He replied softly still treating like a fragile glass.
“You look tired, why don’t you come sit over here”she said and pulled him towards the chair.
“You haven’t eaten yet. How about I make you some camomile tea and while you are drinking the maid will……”
“Don’t go “He said softly and Celine stopped what she was saying to stare at him
“Am not going any where, I just want to get you….”
“Hold me”Nick said and knowing he must need a lot of comfort, she opened her arms and he moved into it, holding tight while she cradled his head in her arms.
“Hey. It’s going to be fine, am sure that where ever Zack will be, it will be in a very fine place”she said
“I doubt that”He muttered
“Why do you say so?”he asked
“This has some thing to do with you too”he said as he pulled away from her to pull out the letter he found.
She took it from his out stretched hand and read it.
“They are after my life because they believe a ledger is with me?”Celine asked shocked by what she read
“Yes! Apparently your father stole the ledger that contained the names of every one who participated at the gambling den, they were putting a lot of pressure on Zack to get him to find the book and when he didn’t,they killed him”he said and Celine gasped out in shock.
“Tell me. Don’t you remember your father Giving you some thing important to keep or where you might have keep it, I know you lost your memory after the accident but then you will now have to try to remember some thing, if we can get to know where the ledger and every single one of then is exposed, then we would all be safe “He said as he took her hands in his.
“Actually I do remember a bit but I think it’s not all of them,it’s all like a puzzle coming back to me”She said as she went to stand in front of the opened window.
FLASH BACK BEGINS
(A year ago)
“Father, please talk to me. What’s going on?”She asked as she kept on starring at her father who was packing up his stuffs in the study room, he looked scared and a bit frightening.
“They are coming Celine! They are coming, we need to pack up! We need to get out of here”He said as he kept on packing.
“Who is coming dad?”She asked as she stared at him
“Some very dangerous peop…..they are here!”Her father stopped what he was saying to listen to the foots step coming from the sitting room.
“Take this bag with you “He said giving her a little black bag.
“It contains a book , a book which has a lot of people name, take it to the police station, i won’t let my death be in vain”He said as he gave her the bag .
“What death are you talking about? Why are you talking like this father”She said as she began panicking for real.
“Please Celine, do what I ask you to do, take the emergency route and leave, make sure you go to the station and hand the bag over to the police, tell them that it’s gambling…..oh no! Get out of here”He said pushing Celine towards the emergency door way.
She couldn’t get to say good bye because the study door opened and those men barge into the room.
She was too late in running with out them seeing her.
While some of the masked men stayed with her father, some of them ran after her.
As soon as she ran out of the mansion, heading to the streets,she clutched the bag tightly in her arms.
She must at least take the bag to the police station, that was her father last wish and she would be damned if she doesn’t get to fulfil it.
She was an athlete and so running fast was some thing that was easy for her.
She kept on running until she stumbled on a stone.
Her foot got injured but still being determined to take the bag to the station, she began to run again but not as fast as before.
She could see the men coming for her and so she ran into the streets with out watching the road only for a car to drive into her.
PRESENT TIME
Celine closed her eyes as she remembered the last part.
That day she lost her father and her career, she thought as she tried to stop the tears that threatned to pour.
She felt Nick arms around her as she tried to speak again and she snuggled close to him for more comfort.
“You must have really been hurt back then, you lost your father and then your career”He voiced out her thought.
“And the people that should have been there for you weren’t there at all, just thinking about you being at the hospital all alone and also knowing that your father was dead makes me want to kill who ever was after you that night”He said angrily and touched by his words, she turned in his arms to give him a kiss.
“Am okay now, with you by my side, there is nothing that scare me”She said softly and he nodded, pulling her into his arms again.
“Promise you wouldn’t leave me”She said stiffly
“I won’t okay,I like you too much to leave you Celine, never ever doubt that okay!”He said and she nodded in reply.
“The bag and the book was never found on me when I got to the hospital and so I can’t help you with where it could have been,am sorry”She said softly
“Don’t be! I can certainly look for the book and when I do, I will expose each and every one in the gambling den”He said softly
“I don’t want you putting your self in trouble”Celine said quickly
“I won’t, I promise”He said and she hugged him close again
“And you know what?”,
“What ?”She replied starring at him
“Am happy, happy that with what happened that day, you are still alive and here with me”He said and knowing what it meant to have some one say that to her made her like him even more.
“I really really like you a lot”She said softly and that brought a smile on Nick face.
“And I do too”He muttered.
They stood together hugging each other tight and unknown to them they already had an audience.
Stacey coughed slightly and that pulled them apart.
“I didn’t see any thing, I was just passing by.i will head to the kitchen now”Stacey said giving the both of them a knowing look before walking towards the kitchen.
“Knowing Stacey, she will come back”Celine said smiling up at Nick
“How do you know?”
“Just wait….five…four…. three…two….”
“Oh I can’t just walk by with out congratulating the both of you, am so happy for you Celine”Stacey said as she walked back into the room.
Celine gave Nick a ‘I told you so’ look before hugging Stacey and chattering with her.
Nick stood watching the two women heading to the kitchen to prepare a chocolate cake for dinner tonight.
Celine had decided to stay home and cheer him up , the chocolate cake is a way of cheering him up too, he thought as he watched them walk off.
His phone began to ring and he picked quickly, it was from the morgue.
“You said we should give you a call if we find any thing “The lady on the other end of the line said
“Yes. Have you found out some thing”
“Yes, actually when we performed the autopsy test, it revealed that he indeed committed suicide”The lady said
“That’s impossible. Zack was a perfect person,he wouldn’t have committed suicide, he was killed. The autopsy test again”Nick yelled at them.
“Even if we were to do it again, it will still be the same result, he committed suicide sir, this isn’t a murder case and ……..”Nick didn’t let her finish her word because he cut the call.
He was still looking troubled when Celine walked into the sitting room
“Hey what’s wrong?”She asked as she sat down beside him
“They said he committed suicide Celine,the autopsy confirmed that Zack killed him self but Zack wouldn’t do that, he is a coward when it comes to taking his own life.those bastards killed him and made it look like he killed himself”Nick said angrily.
“What are you going to do now?”Celine asked
“Make it my job to get revenge for Zack death, to protect you and also to expose each and every one of them “Nick said
“I know you would want to get back at those who killed Zack and i won’t stop you but one thing must be clear, you mustn’t get hurt, I don’t want you hurt okay”She said and instead of answering.Nick hugged her tight, telling her his answer that way.
“Come back here ! Come back here!”The men chasing Celine called out as they keep running after her.
Injured on her foot, Celine kept on running until she got to the street and not wanting them the catch her, she ran into the streets only for a car to hit her.
For a while, every thing was blank….Celine could feel her self slipping off but the voice which called her name made her open her eyes a bit.
The car that had hit her was still parked at the front and she was still on the floor with blood gushing out of her head.
“Shut up!!!” A voice yelled suddenly and she knew that who ever it was had been the person who hit her.
“She is dead already”The man said again
No! No am not dead, Celine thought as she tried desperately to show him that but she just couldn’t move her body, it felt sore.
The bag was still in her hand but it was taken from that man.
“Looks like you won’t have to need this any more”He said again
“He..lp…..help”She said as she heard him striding off but he stopped and she knew that he had heard her cry for help but still he went into the car and drove off leaving her there to die.
Celine woke up with a start, she found her self breathing hard as the memory which she had forgotten came back to her.
She now knew why the bag and the book couldn’t be found that day.
The monster that had hit her and had left her to die had taken it.

(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!
