Chapter 74

Orion's POV

Three months later….

“What does it say dear?!” My mother asked Sophie who had locked herself in the bathroom for almost an hour. “Come out here or you're going to make my blood pressure rise.”

I rolled my eyes and stood up to leave the room. I had no interest in whatevers they were doing. My mother was too desperate for a grandchild and wanted one at all costs.

She already forced me into marrying Sophie although the final push was Ciara admitting that Bryan was the father of her child. That had broken me more than I cared to admit.

I had already told Sophie that our marriage was one only in name and I'd only sleep with her for child bearing purposes and nothing more.

“Sophie darling, what does it say?” She was pacing back and forth and making me dizzy.

This was about the 10th pregnancy test Sophie was using in three months and my mother was hoping that this one would come out positive.

I couldn't blame her since she wanted grandchildren but perha

    Chapter 75 Ciara's POV “Orion, what is the meaning of this? Give me back my phone!” I yelled and stood on my tiptoe to reach for it but he only snickered and repeated my action, towering over me. “You're such a jerk,” “And you're a slut, guess we are even.” He shot back at me and I blanched at the harshness in his tone. He was refering to Mikey's parentage and that of this baby in my womb. It was a shame I couldn't tell him the truth and he had to believe whatever he saw. “Just give me my phone, you can't do this!” I hollered, completely frustrated with his behavior. He snickered when he saw my facial expression and walked over to me. He stared at me for a while without saying anything before he suddenly started laughing. Startled, I took a step back but this only made him laugh even harder. A shiver ran down my spine and I clenched my hands into fists at my side. I closed my eyes and tried to regain control of my breathing. “Did you ever love me?” At the question, my

    Chapter 76 Bryan's POV I made sure Ciara's footsteps had faded before I turned to Orion with a smirk on my face. “You know you always make things easy for me. I can't believe my luck when it comes to you.” He frowned. “What are you blabbering about?” “You Orion, you're such a fool. How could you be so stupid to make things so easy for me?” “Get out of my way, I need to check on my wife.” My eyebrows raised at the words my wife and I scoffed. “It seems your brain isn't processing things any longer so I'll help you.” I stepped closer and glared at him. “Ciara doesn't want anything to do with you Orion. You got married to Sophie and I know that you're just sticking around to see if Ciara would take you back but you need to wake up and smell the coffee; she's never going back to you again!” His face turned ugly and he shoved me. “That's not your call to make. She's the only one that gets to decide that.” I snickered. “She's carrying my child so don't you think I can ask her

    Chapter 77 Ciara's POV Two weeks later…. “It's so big and beautiful. I never knew white wolves existed anymore,” someone said in the distance as I stood there observing everything. In truth the white wolf was gorgeous. It had no spots or speckles of any kind. Pure white fur was it's coat and it glowed even during the day. Was that even possible? And yet it was happening right before my eyes. If only I had a wolf that beautiful…. “Darling, Ciara wake up it's time for breakfast.” I shook my head and continued admiring the rare beautyin front of me. But Grandma was persistent. “Ciara,” she kept shaking me and plodding me with her fingers. I groaned and sat up in bed, blinking as I realized I had been dreaming just now. “You sure sleep deep. I have been trying to wake you for a while now.” She shook her head as she walked to the windows and pulled the curtains back. “The hospital called and they said your grandfather can be discharged today “ I watched as she wiped tw

    Chapter 78 Bryan's POV “Do you even know how to cook?” I frowned and almost dropped one of the eggs. That would have proved her right but she was so wrong. I didn't reply as I cracked the eggs into a bowl. I dropped the milk on the counter and whisked the eggs. “What are you making?” She asked craning her neck to see what I was doing. “Do you have any flour?” I asked and she nodded then scrunched her nose. “What are you…?” “Just watch,” She scowled but pointed me in the direction of the flour jar. I took a generous amount, adding a little more than I needed. My goal was to impress her and I was going all out. “You're making pasta from scratch?” She commented, surprise in her voice as she saw what I was doing. I winked at her and then quickly created space on the counter. After pouring some of the flour, I added the eggs and carefully combined them. “I'm impressed.” She admitted crossing her hands and I smirked. She helped me with a pot of boiling water and I a

    Chapter 79 Ciara's POV “Thank you for coming today.” I said, looking down at my hands. I couldn't meet his eyes especially after that kiss we shared which I initiated. It was obvious Bryan had feelings for me or else he wouldn't have kissed me back. He looked completely broken when I pulled back and apologized for the kiss and I felt rotten inside. I had to take the cowardly approach and blame my pregnancy hormones but even that excuse sounded lame. “I'll always be here for you when you need me to be.” he said, his expression serious and I nodded. “I know.” And maybe that was the problem. Maybe I was taking advantage of the fact that he'd always be here for me. He was suddenly in front of me and I inhaled sharply. “Don't feel bad for the kiss Ciara. It's okay to be conflicted about your feelings but don't hold them back. Express them and don't be scared of falling because I'll catch you when you're ready.” Afterwards, he took my hand in his and we walked to his car

    Chapter 80Orion's POV “Inform the guards not to let anyone in. I want to be alone.”James nodded and shut the door behind him. With my good sense of hearing, I could hear him relay the message and I leaned back in my seat. I closed my eyes and found myself thinking about Ciara again. My last visit to her place had gone pretty badly and I had been a total jerk to her. How was I going to win her over if she hated me?Of course Bryan swooped in and took the opportunity to win her over even more. At this rate, there'd be nothing I can do to win her over. Bryan was really getting on my last nerve and if not because James had called me that last time, I was ready to dig it out with him. He was putting on such a show to win her over and it was disgusting to watch her falling over him. “Let me through,” Sophie's snarky tone reached my ears and I sighed heavily as my thoughts of Ciara were disrupted. With a frown, I rose up from my seat and walked towards the door wondering what she wa

    Chapter 81Ciara's POV I sprayed perfume on my clothes, targeting the spots I knew would make the scent pop and took a step back, admiring my appearance in the mirror. Even though I have always been labelled as weak and a useless Omega, there was one thing people couldn't deny and that was my beauty. But of course what was beauty when the bearer was a lowly Omega?I waved away these thought and admired myself in the mirror, rubbing my belly with a fond smile. My due date was just around the corner and I was getting more and more impatient as the days past to see my child. I couldn't wait to carry her or him and whisper my love in his or her ears. I didn't know the gender because I wanted to be surprised with the outcome after delivery. My relationship with Bryan was getting more and more serious as the days passed and I knew without a doubt that I could no longer feign ignorance about my feelings for him. There were still some doubts in my mind about whether we would work out. Or

    Chapter 82 Orion's POV “Orion,” Sophie called out to me after Ciara walked off but I ignored her, too stunned to speak. When I was told by James that Ciara was here earlier, I was overjoyed and my heart had soared as my mind raced with the possibilities of what her arrival could mean for us. But her words hadn't been part of what I had envisioned. Her rejection and dismissal of me had stung even worse than her leaving the house. After today, there was no doubt in my mind that she was really done with me. “Son, did she just say you went to her house? What were you doing there?” My mother asked, walking up to me. “How could you still seek her out when she has obviously moved on and doesn't care about you?” Her words added to my pain and I glared at her as I shoved them out of the way. I made my way into the house without a word, my eyes stormy and dark. James was waiting in my office when I got there but as soon as he saw my expression, he quickly excused himself and close

    Chapter 145Ciara's POV I finally got a hold on my wavering emotions and pushed James away. He never expected the strength or force of my push and it sent him staggering a few feets backwards. “What the hell do you think you're doing?” I asked, anger bubbling inside of me. “Have you lost your mind?!” I raised my hand and slapped him, the anger I was feeling radiating off me in waves.He blinked, clearly in shock and then rubbed his lips with his fingers as if trying to wipe off any traces of the kiss. “You're testing me, woman, and I hate being dared."The eye roll that followed his words was an unconscious response to his silly statement. “Stay away from me and keep your filthy hands to yourself, you disgusting pig!” James sneered. "You don't give the orders. I'm the one in charge here."I spat on the ground close to his feet and leaned up with a raised eyebrow. "You're nothing but a spineless coward who accepted Sophia's orders simply because you're too whipped to see that sh

    Chapter 144 Ciara's POV “Where is she?” The commotion from outside my room woke me up. With a frown, I sat up in bed wondering what could have happened. I slid off the bed and made my way towards the door with sleepy eyes. The door swung open violently, hitting my chin. I screamed and stepped back, holding it as pain throbbed from my chin to other parts of my face. “Have you lost your mind?” I shrieked, massaging my sore chin. “What is the meaning of this?!” “Come now cousin, that's no way to talk to me. Remember I control your life now.” A scoff left my mouth before I could stop it at her words. Why was she saying all of this now? My head snapped up and I stared at Sophia in shock. What was she even doing here all of a sudden? “You're shocked, aren't you?” she smirked and walked further into he room, running her fingertips over the bed, the wall, everything. “Why are you here, Sophia?” I asked before I could help myself. She shrugged. “What can I say cousin? I mi

    Chapter 143 Bryan's POV “Alpha,” Ryan greeted me as he walked into my room with a tray of food. I sat up and balled my hands into fists when I saw the tray. “I already told you I'm not hungry. You shouldn't have bothered,” He ignored me and placed the tray on the nightstand. He stopped back and stared at me. “Your brother called to see you again,” I clenched my jaw and grunted. “I don't want to see him, I already told you this,” “Well he is very persistent. I am afraid I have run out of lies to explain why you're not here.” My eyes rolled to the back of my head on its own at his words. I knew how persistent Orion could be and it was really annoying that he couldn't just give me some space. “Alpha please speak to him. He's sorry about everything he did. He didn't mean to lie to you and when you look at it, he had been trying to protect you,” A scoff flew out of my mouth and I glared at Ryan. If looks could kill….. He didn't seem concerned by my behaviour and continu

    Chapter 142 Orion's POV “He's still not picking up?” I asked and James shook his head. “No Alpha. It keeps going to voicemail,” I sighed and banged my fists on the table repeatedly. What was going on with my brother? Surely he wasn't still mad at me because I called Sophia's bluff? We were both mature adults and we could harsh it out like men. James had informed me that he had been here to see me a couple of days ago but I never received him in office. I had been confused when James told me about it. Why had my brother come to see me but then changed his mind last minute? My heartbeat picked up as I remembered that the same day, Lucas and I had been discussing something sensitive in my office. A gasp left my mouth before I could stop it and I nearly tumbled out of my chair. Could he have heard our conversation? “Alpha?” If he had, surely he'd have barged in and challenged me for lying right? He wouldn't just storm off like that. At least that's what I wanted to

  • Mate for the Feuding Alpha Brothers   CHAPTER 140

    Chapter 140 Ciara's POV It's been two weeks since I found out I was pregnant and so far I have been doing a horrible job at hiding it from James and Brianna. The maids have stopped serving me since Brianna took over making it easier to hide since Brianna is as oblivious as they come. In a couple of months from now it would be rather difficult to hide it because then I'd have a noticeable bump. If I was home and had access to my wardrobe then I'd have selected a couple of maternity gowns. Here I'm stuck with shirts and my single pair of jeans that I had on when they kidnapped me. Now there's a slight bump that isn't noticeable except I take my shirt off which I would never do in the presence of these people anyway. I had to think of a way to ask for more clothes or find a way to get myself out of here before my child would be at risk of being used for Sophia's dirty games. It was getting close to noon and since Brianna had already fed me once for breakfast, my next mea

With a frown I sat up as my mind began to race. “Did something happen? What's going on?” What time was it? He shook his head and walked in fully, closing the door behind him. “Good morning to you too,” he teased with a smirk and I raised a brow. “Okay okay, I know this might be weird for you,” “Weird? Try strange, uncomfortable amongst other things,” I sighed and slipped on a smile. “What can I do for you?” His smile grew bigger. “Oh it's nothing I just came to keep you company that's all. If you don't mind of course. I could leave if you don't want me…” He turned his back to me and started to move towards the door. I flew off the bed and grabbed his arm. “No, sorry,” I let my hands fall to my side again and took a step back, my cheeks flushed pink. “What I mean is I'd love to have another human being besides myself in this room

    Chapter 139 Bryan's POV “How could you do something like that?” “You weren't thinking clearly,” The heavy words I had spoken to my brother yesterday without thinking came back to haunt me as soon as I laid down to rest for the day. Guilt and a sense of loss filled me. When he had walked out after bowing and calling me ‘Aloha’ I should have realized how much I had screwed except I chose to turn a blind eye and kept fumming. But as I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes, images from that moment started to replay like a film in my mind ripping my peace away. In truth I had been the one who told him to stand up to that dreadful woman and when he took my advice, I had turned my back on him. How could I have been so stupid and judgy why all he had done all these while is trying to protect our mate? He had been forced to sleep with the enemy literally and wine and dine with her while I got to live my life free just without Ciara in it. If I was being completely honest, h

    Chapter 138 Orion's POV “Alpha,” James greeted me as I walked past him but I didn't respond. My head was clouded with different thoughts all centered around Bryan and his reaction when I told him how I stood up to Sophia. For someone who didn't want to entertain Sophia from the beginning, his reaction had been less than satisfactory. I had gone there with my head held high feeling extremely proud of myself for sticking it to Sophia and I had expected he'd be proud and pat me on the back. Instead he lashed out at me as if I were a little kid. I hadn't been expecting the completely different 360 reaction he dealt me today and it was still a bitter pill to swallow. My office door slammed behind me but I didn't flinch as I made my way to the chair. Setting down on it, I shook my head as if to expel every negative and hurtful thing he had said to me. Even if he was angry, he shouldn't have spoken to me in that manner and tone. Not even my mother would speak to me the way

    Chapter 137 Bryan's POV “Since the killings have stopped, our people have grown more secure and more confident in your leadership Alpha Bryan,” one of the elders said and I almost scoffed at his attempt to flatter me. We were having a council meeting that had started since 7am but my mind was divided. After Old Man Heartfield's visit yesterday, I found myself thinking a lot about Ciara and her wellbeing. I wondered how she was doing and if Sophia was treating her right just like she promised Orion she would when they made their deal. I was going to keep being strong and not give Ciara any reason to worry about me. The less she worried about us, the better for her. All she had to do at this point was focus solely on staying alive and eventually getting out of there in one piece. Once she was safe in my arms again, she could go back to being the worrywart she always was. “Have we found the cause of the killings?” Another elder asked and I looked at Ryan. He flushed an
