Isabelle walked for a long time before arriving at the small village.

She had to go through the busy market first and as she walked along, the cap of her garment was over her head.

She kept her head down the whole time, trying as much as possible to avoid the gazes of others because she knew she’d be in trouble, if her face gets seen by anyone.

She was the most wanted person in the Kingdom at that moment.

She was able to pass the market successfully and after a longer walk, she finally got to the small door and knocked on it.

There was no reply.

She looked around and knocked again.
Damn it! Just open the door! She grumbled in her heart and almost immediately, she heard the door opening.

It opened creakily until the face of the ‘opener’ was finally revealed.

She gasped as soon as she saw the confessor.

“Isabelle???” She wanted so bad to scream the name, but ended up whispering it.
Although, her eyes still explained how shocked she was.

“Emily” Isabelle called lowly.
“Please, let me in”.

Emily’s eyes drooped. And in a more discrete tone, she asked:
“What’re you doing here?”

Her hands were still holding the door, standing in the way.

“We can’t talk out here, Emily. Please, let me in” Isabelle answered, her voice pleading.

She looked around to be sure no one was watching.

“But….”.

“Emily!” She snapped and a brief silence ensued between them.

Giving it a quick thought, Emily decided to take a little risk and ushered her into the house.

She shut the door as soon as they were in.

“Where have you been, Isabelle? And what’re you doing here?? The King’s looking for you!” She growled, making her fear obvious.

“I won’t take long, Emily. I promise. I just….I just need to treat my wound” Isabelle replied and lifted the tip of her dress, so Emily would see the wounded spot on her leg.

Her eyes blinked rapidly,staring at the wound.

“How…How did you get that?” She asked heavily and Isabelle released the dress, covering the wound back up.

“Few hours ago. I was chased by some guards and….they shot at me” she replied with a hard gulp.

“Oh! Goodness, Isabelle. You’re wanted by everyone in this Kingdom because there’s a 100 silver bounty on your head. If anyone gets to know I…..I…helped you,I’ll be…..”

“I know. I know, okay? And that’s the reason I promise not to take long… Please” she added the last part with a little reluctance.

Emily had been an old friend and she knew there was no way she could reject her in that state. She felt she was safe with her.

“Come over to the table” she said with a sigh, and Isabelle followed.
As Isabelle followed her to the table, she took out time to gaze round the room and that was when she spotted the little boy – Owen – sleeping on the long wooden chair.

He had a wet cloth over his head and it was obvious, he wasn’t fine. He was Emily’s son.

“What’s wrong with him?” Isabelle asked as she sat on the table, facing Emily.

“He’s sick – terribly sick” Emily replied dolefully, lifting Isabelle’s dress, so the wounded leg be exposed.

“There’s been no money to take him to a healer” she added.

Isabelle just stared quietly and wished there was something she could do. Everything was so complicated for her at the moment.

Emily untied the wound, so she could examine it.

“I don’t think it’s infected yet” she said as she touched the surface.
“But its deep.

“We’ll need to….add some heat to it”

Isabelle just nodded slowly, knowing what that meant.

“Hold on” Emily mumbled and left, then returned shortly with a bowl of water, and a little napkin.

“I’ll just clean it off first” she remarked and started using the water and napkin on the fresh wound, wiping off the blood and dirt.

They were silent for a while.

“Whatever happened, Isabelle?” She broke the brooding silence.

“Why did you and your sisters enslave the King and his men for so long?”

Isabelle felt a cut in her heart as soon as she mentioned the King’s name.
The King.

She didn’t say a word, but stared away.

“You should look for a way to go far from here” she continued.
“Far from this land, Isabelle. Because it wouldn’t be funny if the King gets a hold of you”.

“I’ll leave, once I find Tabitha” Isabelle replied coldly, and Emily paused to look into her face.

“Tabitha?” She scoffed.
“Tabitha’s dead. She’s been missing for months now”.

“Then, I need a body to bury!” Isabelle was almost tempted to yell.

She exhaled deeply , when she realized.

“She might be dead, but I still need to find her body, at least. I need to know what happened to her” she said

Emily didn’t comment, but slowly resumed what she was doing.

“Besides” she continued.
“Even if I wanted to leave, that’s impossible because the King has placed guards on every exit of this land. There’s no way I can leave without being caught”

“Oh…Isabelle. You’re so ruined” Emily shook her head.

They didn’t say any other thing as Emily rounded up the cleaning of the wound and stood up with the bowl and napkin.

“Come with me. Let’s go to the fire place” she titled her head to the side and started walking away and Isabelle followed.

She had to drag her leg along, because she still felt slight pains. She saw it as a miracle she was able to endure it while walking to Emily’s house.

She followed Emily to the kitchen and took a seat, while Emily set up the fire.

She watched blearily.

“But why is it so important for you to find Tabitha, huh?” Emily asked as she fixed a knife into the fire.

Isabelle didn’t reply, but when she turned and shot her a stare, she did.

“I just need to find her body” was her casual reply.

“But why? She’s been dead for long now. Her body would’ve probably decayed” Emily said .

“I just….I just need to find her. She was…..” Isabelle had almost spilled the word, but restricted herself.

No; she couldn’t say it out.

Emily removed the heated knife from the fire and approached Isabelle.

“She was what?” She asked as she squatted in front of her, staring into her face.

Isabelle looked at her without saying a word, and she asked again.

“She was what, Isabelle?” She asked, curiously.

“Its nothing” Isabelle mumbled and looked down at the knife, signalling her to go on with it.

Emily sighed and brought it closer to the leg.

“Hope you’re ready?” She asked and Isabelle nodded.

Then, getting herself prepared, she finally placed the hot-red knife on her leg and a sizzling sound was heard.

Isabelle shut her eyes to endure the pain. It hurt like hell.

She clamped her mouth shut and made fists with her hands, and as soon as Emily pulled the knife away from her leg, she gasped.

“Sorry” Emily muttered and stood up, going to return the knife.

Isabelle looked at the spot and took in deep breaths. Gosh! That had been painful.

But hopefully, she’d feel better in no time.

“I’ll go get you some herbs right away” Emily said.
“As soon as I use them on you, you’ll feel a 100% better”.

Isabelle just nodded and muttered a “thank you”.

“I’ll be on my way now. Make sure you stay indoors, okay? Please, don’t get me into trouble” she said with pleading eyes and left.

(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!
