A cocky smile passed through my lips as I walked to class.. That has always been my aura, victory then authority.
I had this phobia for rejection, yeah it doesn’t apply to everyone cos when my mom left or should I say rejected me; my life started anew and those thoughts are one of the things I try to drive out of my mind then into my past cos the people involved are now part of my past.
I got to the class and bumped into someone at the doorway, looking up in annoyance my gaze met with that of Jason’s friend or should I say his dog cos he seem to go everywhere for him and with him. My annoyed expression twitched to that of irritation as he smirked. “Dog got your eyes?” He teased and I gritted my teeth. From the corner of my eyes I could see Jason’s gaze on us.. Probably waiting for a fight to start then putting me in shits. “Yeah.. In such a way I can’t see pipsqueaks like you” I replied, in same sarcasm. I Watched his brows furrow in annoyance.
“Your bad side’s worsening your goofy face. You should wear a smile often” I smirked, pushed him off when he was about saying something and walked into class. Winking a striking smile at Jason, I walked to my seat.
Some people are just born to ruin a nice day.
I sat and took out my phone, clicked on the number I was given by the ‘girl’ who’s my cleaner now which I stored as *Debtor* I typed a message to it and sent it, a smile crossed my lips. She’s pretty interesting though, yet annoying and.. Well stupid.
.
🌹Jacqueline’s POV🌹
.
I walked back to my class, ignored the fixed stares holding curiosity and walked to my seat.
“So, What does he want with you?” Martha asked, without letting me bench my butt and I gave her an eye roll.
“You should’ve at least let me down first.. As it is I’m getting nervous by the stares on me and that include yours” I said, sitting down.
“I’m just really curious cos I know apart from me there’s no one else in this school that you’re pretty close with and it’s just surprising that you happen to be close to a senior, someone I don’t even know”
“Hey.. FYI, he’s the last person I could ever get close with” I said.
“Well, start the gist then and don’t leave a single detail out” she said and I sighed silently, knowing what I’ll have to lie a little.. Martha’s not the type to let things go easily. Once she gets really curious about something, she’ll want to know every detail about it.
“He offered me a job” came my first words. Which wasn’t a lie.. Well except that jobs pay and this one doesn’t.
“Just like that? How’d you know him?”
“I don’t know him too well though.. My boss has sent me on a delivery to him, once or twice and somehow I got fired yesterday and he’s offering me a job” I said the first thing that came to my mind and Martha gave me a look.. It was like she was staring at a gobshite.
“You do realize what you’re saying doesn’t make sense? I mean how can you just meet someone during a delivery that doesn’t last up to one minute of interaction and then he offers you a job? It’s kinda absurd.. Wait, are you lying to me?” She asked and I gave her a placating smile.
“Okay. I forgive you for that and that’s because I’m really curious and I could die if I don’t get it off so just tell me the truth. Did you do something bad?” She asked and I sighed, this time loud enough.
“I didn’t.. Well I did but I’m paying for it” I said and she gave me a blank stare and nudged me to continue “Alright. I kind of destroyed his phone during one of peripheral walks to steal glances at Jason. It’s was pretty expensive and I couldn’t pay so he wants me to pay it off by working for him” I say and Martha’s brow struck.
“That’s stupid, I mean why are you letting him make you do something you don’t want to? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!” She questioned, her voice getting high.
“Cos I was preventing this. I know you won’t take it likely”
“And why will I? I’m your best friend and I’m supposed to defend you”
“Yeah I appreciate, but you can’t take sides with me without observing my faults. I ruined his new phone, I think it’s just fair. I’ll Work to pay him, it’s not like it’s gonna be forever” I said.
“Okay, just be careful and alert me if he tries anything stupid” she says and I smiled.
“Hold-on don’t tell me you accepted because you have a crush on this one too-
“That’s impossible!” I cut off her words. “I accepted cos I don’t have a choice. Why would you think of something so absurd. I only love Jason” I said.
“It’s called lust” she said and I rolled my eyes. “And to think I thought of that grouchy dude as amazing is such a gross out. I still can’t deny that he’s more good looking than Jason to me”
“You have such bad human-beauty-sense. That dude’s no way in Jason’s category, Jason’s heavenly beautified and this one is– just some random ugly dude” I said.
“Your obsession is surprising, you’re saying all this cos you’ve not known Jason. He’s a douchbag”
“I’m not obsessed Martha and no matter what Jason is, I still think he’s the cutest thing ever” I said, earning an eye roll from Martha.
“Yeah alright but I think your brother’s the cutest thing ever” she said and I gave her a questioning look. I was about to say something when I felt my phone beeping. Looking towards the door to ensure no teacher was in sight, I took it out and clicked on the incoming message from an unknown ID. Martha’s curious glance beside me. “House 32b Jackson heights. 4:30 on the dot.. Lateness won’t be tolerated and make sure to save my number” the message read and the caller ID became obvious. I glanced at Martha and she held this look of distaste, she was about say something which I sensed would be bad and disapproving, so I just gave her a ‘no’ look. She gestured surrender and turned away.
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

“Jackson heights please” I told the cabbie, tossing 25cents to him cos the distance, according to him was a little far. He started driving while I looked out of the window.
I had done my normal locomotive routine home after saying bye to Martha.. I got home and didn’t meet Allan, I had a light lunch and walked to my normal work.. Instead of working as expected I resigned from the coffee’s shop, I chose it because first, it was the first work I had today and second the pay wasn’t as manageable as the rest.. When I stop working for Nicholas I’ll be able to get another part-time job with my resume. I hit the road, moving to the pavement side, I hailed a cab and here I am, going to Nik’s. The cabbie parked and I grabbed my little bag which had nothing less than my phone and a few bucks. I searched for house 32b from the line of houses and after passing through different alleys, I found it.. I surveyed the exterior of the exclusive building before me from the transparent gate. I once lived in a building like this and had same grouchy life like him, except that mine wasn’t grossy, it was pure classical and enviable; my parent’s death of course took that classy lifestyle from me too, it took so much from me, even the ones that I can’t bring myself to say . I walked to the door and peered into the stripy gate, painted white. I took out my phone to call him when the gate suddenly moved open to one side, causing me to shriek. A recognition gate.. It must be pretty expensive. I composed myself, knowing that he’ll be watching me from inside and probably be grinning mockingly at my goofy attitude. I walked in and the gate closed, sighting the exclusive porch, I walked to it and stood before the metal frontdoor.. Shining from it’s expensive paints. I raised my hand to knock and when I did the door opened, revealing a neatly dressed Nicholas.. I walked in and he closed the door before moving ahead of me and sitting on one of the maroon couches.
“4:31,” he said, his gaze on me “You’re a minute late. I’ll let this go cos it’s your first day here.. It must’ve been a bit of trouble locating this building. Forgiveness won’t be guaranteed another day” he said and I left my expression blare on him. “Understood?” I nodded wryly.
I took in the living-room beauty.. It had lofty ceilings, a HiFi system stood on a small stool close to the window, in front was a waste paper basket and beside it, was a mantle piece which had a coal scuttle then a fireplace. Close to it was a recliner and a flat screen TV, Beside it was a shelf with several books in it that looks dusty and a little out of place. Four maroon couches and an armchair had their places in the plushy living room. A rug laid on the floor and close to it was a bricked and carpeted floor, a table stood on one side, having an ornamental vase, a remote control and a magazine.. Beside it stood a footstool. A lamp stood on one side and there was a house plant..
There was a tapestry that was apart and from it I could see the large dinning room..
Together with more that I couldn’t fathom.

“Sit” he said, more in an authoritative tone and I plopped myself to a chair, balancing my hand on the armrest.
“Don’t get too comfy on my couch, this isn’t your home. You’re here as a worker, you shouldn’t forget that” he said and I stopped myself from rolling my eyes.
“Don’t worry, I don’t have such witty memory” I responded.
“So I’ll make the rules understandable and short so you can commence work” he said. So I can’t even get coffee for a start, so much for being an unwelcomed guest.
“First.. You’re permitted to clean other rooms and that include the kitchenette, the garden, basement, backyard and others, except one room, my room. You’ll only work there on instructions and permission.
And Secondly, my laundry must be done regularly.. Nothing must be left out, no left out stains, it must all be sparkling” he stated “Understood”
“Yes” I said simply and he stood up.
“Come, I’ll show you my room” he led and I followed, he showed me a door and without getting in, he warned me not to get to it. “I’ll leave you to work. Inform me when you’re done” he said, grabbed a copy of daily times and walked out.
I took off my bag and left it on a couch, packed my hair up, rolled up the long sleeves of my shirt.. Pushing urges away to sit and watch the television; something I haven’t done in ages, sit comfortably on the recliner; something I also haven’t done in a long time because for starters, Allan stays there a lot and another, I can’t get comfortable around Allan.
I started work on the living room, getting stuffs in order, throwing some to the waste basket and wiping dirts off the chairs, table, TV, the fireplace, furnitures and then the floor. Everywhere looks neat on a farther view but doing the cleanings right now; I’ve realized just how dirty it is. You can’t always judge a book by its cover. Who could believe that a grouchy neat-on-the-outside dude could live comfortably in a dusty place..

I ignored it and quickly dressed the other rooms too, I arranged the shelf, dust the closets, wiped greasy stains from the window and wiped the dirts, mopped the floor and dressed the bed. Doing the rest of work and dabbing beads of sweat from my forehead with the back of my palm, I moved to the kitchen and a sigh passed my lips at the messy sight. I glanced at the clock, 5:23, I started work, more aggressively this time.. Disposing stuffs here and there, keeping this and that… I took the pan from under an icebox filled with water from the melting ice, I threw the water out and kept the pan under it again. I was done with the kitchen in no time and the rest of the house exteriors.. I went to the garden, started by picking dirts, I moved to the garden hose, wiped the leaves that had soil on them.. I did the rest and finally walked out after watering the garden..
By the time I rounded up, I was out of breath and completely worn out, the time was 6:05. Doggone it! I’m late for work. I unrolled my sleeves, took my bag and dashed out of the house, the gate opened and I moved out.. I hailed a cab and while in it, I sent a text to Nik. The cab dropped me and I rush out… “Miss! My payment” he yelled and with a word of apology, I tossed it to him and rushed to work.

My boss insisted I spend more minutes, since I arrived late and I did. Getting to the next job, I passed a word of apology to my boss, earned a questioning look from Noel which I ignored and started my work share.
Again I was told to stay longer and I did.. After work, Noel walked me to my home, stopping a little farther from it, he told me bye and left. I walked to my house and used the stairs.. Getting to our floor, I walked to the door but it was locked.. I was about knocking when I saw a folded paper on the floor, I picked it up and unfolded it.
📜I’m too stressed to open up for a night worker. I hope you have a bad night📜
Ugh! Allan!
I let out a sigh and lean on the wall. I was completely worn out, I had envisioned, going to bed immediately but now I think I’ll be using the cold floor tonight.. There wasn’t even a blanket or matress, he couldn’t pity me enough to drop that. He always fancy my sufferings. I went to the stairs and sat on it, resting my head on the wall with my bag clutched in my palms, I thought about so many things.. If I keep working for Nik I guess my nights will keep getting dreadful. I sighed and drove my thoughts to other things and gradually darkness took over me.

(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!
