Nick left the agency heading to George house with his body taped with the necessary tools he needs in getting to catch those who are in the gambling den.
He stopped right at the front door and got out of it, strange though, the body guards which he had stationed by his doors were no longer there, could he have left the city.
Wanting to find that out, he walked the few distance to the door and after knocking for a while, the butler came out.
“If you don’t have an appointment sir, I think it’s best that you leave “The Butler said about to close the door but Nick pushed it open and walk right in.
“You can’t barge in like that sir, I will call the police if you don’t leave right this instance”He said as he walk towards the phone.
Nick stood still for a while, looking at the whole house, every thing feels some how weird and the butler behind him look some how guilty of some thing,he thought as he turned on the shaking Butler.
“Where is your boss”Nick asked
“You don’t have to know that! Have already asked you to leave”He said starring at a door nervously
Feeling his nervousness, Nick followed his gaze and saw that he was starring at door, probably George study.
With out wasting his time on the butler, he head to the study only to see George on the floor, gasping for breath.
“Hey! George”Nick yelled as he knelt beside the dying man holding his hand.
“Call an ambulance!”Nick yelled at the butler but when there was no answer from the butler, Nick turned around to find him gone, where could he have gone to?
“Do…don’t call….for an ambulance….I……i will probably be dead before they even set out of the hospital”George said softly
“You can’t die! You still have to tell me who the hell is running that gambling den, you still have to…..”
“I…I also don’t know much about who runs the Den, we all don’t know who owns it”George said coughing out blood
“What are you talking about? Are you still going to hide the truth even when they have done this to you!”Nick yelled at him
“I wouldn’t lie now, I have nothing to gain Nick …..it’s a den and we all gather there to talk and make money but not once have we seen the one who owns it…..we only know that they call him boss”George said
“Boss……what’s the identity,is he a male?”Nick asked
“We don’t know that either, we only know that they address him as boss and we also don’t know if he is a male or a female…”He said still coughing out blood.
“I think you should stop talking, you have to save your strength”Nick said
“Am dying Nick….just as they have gotten rid of Zack, they have done the same to me….you should stop trying to investigate or you might just be next “He said softly
“I don’t care if am their next target, I will see to it that they are all arrested, even the one who calls him self boss”Nick replied
“Zack doesnt want this for you…..you sho….should try to live your life away from the den”
“Even if I do that, they will keep on coming after me because I have Celine with me and they are after Celine, they want her dead”Nick said
“That’s because she had the book with her”
“A book which had been taken from her l, she never got to hold it for long because she met with an accident that day!”Nick said
“Do you think the gambling den would be after her life if she had only held the book….we might be gamblers but we also have some thing better to do with our time. The boss wouldn’t be after Celine life if she had just held the book on its own”
“What are you trying to say?”Nick asked
“She saw what was written in it, she saw the names and that’s why they are after her life”George said
That’s crazy! If Celine had seen the name in the book then why did she keep quiet, why didn’t she tell him some thing.
“The only thing you can do right now is to leave the country with Celine and start a new life, it’s the only way I can think of except you want to die just like am doing right now”He said softly and Nick stopped thinking about his own problem for a while to stare at the dying man in his arms.
There is no helping George, he will die in a short while and he has to know one more thing before that happens
“Tell me if Thomas is amongst the gambling den members! Tell me if he is in on this with you….tell me what the land is for….tell me”Nick yelled at George who was already taking in his last breath
“Tho……mas” that was the last thing he said when he finally gave up the ghost.
Feeling deflated, Nick stood up and called for an ambulance, telling them that there was a corpse waiting for them.
He got into his car thinking about what George said to him.
Celine had seen the names, if she had seen it and had forgotten when the accident occurred, he will make sure that she remembers but if she had seen the book and decided not to talk then she is protecting some one.
He will need to confirm those answers him self, he has to see her and she won’t suceed in getting him off her back so easily.
Celine layed on her bed, too exhausted to cry, she has been doing that ever since Nick left the house.
She still can’t believe that the man she love so much is the same one who ruined her life a year ago.
Fate has been cruel, it had made her love the man she hates more than any thing in this world.
Right now she is very confused, doesn’t even know if what she is feeling right now is love or hate.
“Hey.Are you still thinking about Nick, you should stop bothering your self with that” Stacey said as she brought in tea for Celine.
“Get up and drink this”She said helping Celine up and putting the cup in her hand.
Celine held the cup of camomile tea in her hand and that made her Remember Nick.
“He always made this for me to calm down my nerves”she said as she remembered him
“Then I shouldn’t have made this for you, it’s reminding you of him, give it to me, I will prepare coffee instead” Alicia said
“Leave it! I will drink it, you made it for me and so I should drink it”Celine said softly as she took a sip.
A soft knock and a maid walked in starring at the two women on the bed
“Mr Thomas is down stairs, he said he wants to talk you miss Celine” The maid said softly
“What does he want to talk about?”Celine said to her self, she didn’t feel like talking to any one much less Thomas.
“Why don’t you go down stairs and talk to him, who knows he might cheer you up a bit”Stacey said as she held onto Celine hand.
A while later, the lift doors opened and Celine limped out of the rest room to see Thomas sitting on one of the empty seats, he had his back to her but when he heard her foot steps he turned and Celine gasped when she saw the bruise on his face
“Hello Celine”Thomas said softly
“What happen to you?”Celine asked as she moved towards him wanting to know why how he was injured in this manner.
“It’s nothing!”Thomas said softly
“But some thing must have happen to result to this”Celine said again
“Well this is Nick anger towards me, well it’s some kind of punishment from him for me telling you the truth “He said
“You mean Nick did this to you?”Celine asked and he nodded.
“As soon as I was checked by the doctors, I left the house in a rush to see you because of Nick threat”He said
“Threat ?” Celine asked
“Well before he left the office, he made it clear to me that he will hurt me in the most possible way.”Thomas said
“That doesn’t have any thing to do with me ” Celine said
“It has a lot do with you Celine.you see he knows that I love you and he will do his best to hurt you knowing that will hurt me too”Thomas said
“Nick would never do that!”Celine said as she limped away from him
“Then you don’t know him at all, you still don’t know who the real Nick Edmund is “He said softly.

(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!
