Chapter 65 Orion's POV “Alpha everything is ready and all the guests are waiting,” I didn't even look up when James walked in. I couldn't be bothered by the events of today. It was my wedding day to Sophie and if this had been a few years back before I met and married Ciara then I'd have been over the moon. Now however, all I cared about was getting Ciara back, apologizing to her and making her mine again. I knew that she was staying at her grandfather's place but I didn't have the courage to go there to see her. Bryan had set me up but only I, Sophie and Bryan knew about it. If I claimed Bryan set me up, I didn't have any way to prove it and Sophie wouldn't say the truth because that would mean losing me to Ciara again. I had never regretted my actions more than I do now. Bullying Ciara and making her feel useless in the beginning was by far the worst decision I had ever made in my life. I should have been happy to find my mate and should have embraced her. I should have c
Chapter 66Ciara's POV“You look so beautifully round Darlington,” Grandma Grace whispered as she sneaked into my room. I rolled my eyes at her and then placed my hands on my now protruding belly as a small smile made its way to my face. At the beginning when I found out about the baby, I wasn't sure how to feel. Now however, I found myself talking to the baby even though there was absolutely no way he/she couldn't hear me. “Why are you so dressed up?” She asked with a frown as she took in the maxi dress I was wearing. “I'm going to see Mikey.” I had told her all about Mikey as soon as I came back home and she was looking forward to meeting him. “It's been a while and besides I want to tell him about the baby.” Grandma shook her head. “I don't think that's a good idea. I think you should stay home today and rest.” I resisted the urge to roll my eyes again and turned to face her. “Why not? I'm pregnant, not sick.” At this rate, she was even more excited about the baby than I was
Chapter 67 Bryan's POV When did this happen? I wondered as I watched Ciara play with Mikey. Her pregnancy was well advanced and couldn't be hidden, not that she wanted to hide it if she was showing ering it off so beautifully in that maxi dress of hers. She had to be the most breathtaking pregnant woman I have ever seen. It's such a shame however that the pup she was carrying wasn't mine. I clenched my fists at the thought of my arrogant brother's face knowing he had an advantage over me yet again. With the excuse of being a father to this child he could waltz his way back into her life again and she'd fall even deeper in love with him. How was I going to compete with that? “A penny for your thoughts?” I smiled at Ciara hiding how annoyed and angry I was. “Tired already?” I teased as she sat beside me. It couldn't be easy for her playing with Mikey in her condition. Mikey was a ball of energy and she was now pregnant and had a belly the size of an actual ball. She had t
Chapter 68 Orion's POV “So tight security has been placed at the border Alpha Stone. The men have been trained for these operations so you can be rest assured.* I nodded and turned to some of the elders in attendance. “Anything else we should talk about?” They exchanged looks and then the eldest, Elder Chuan turned to me. “Alpha, with all due respect, we'd like to advise you to marry this woman Sophie. She's the best choice for a Luna.” I gritted my teeth and glared at him. “Who do you think you are to tell me what to do? That's my personal life. It's no business of either one of you.” “I didn't mean to upset you Alpha,” he raised his hands. “I speak on behalf of the people when I say that the pack would benefit greatly from a strong Luna. One that can fight alongside you in wars and even sit in during meetings.” I slammed my fist on the table. “Are you saying your current Luna isn't capable of fighting alongside me?” He shivered and looked away. “Alpha, what
Chapter 1 Ciara's POV Bang The door closed behind me and I squeezed my purse tightly. I would never understand why Lucas would want us to meet here of all places when he knew I didn't like clubs. But on second thoughts, he doesn't care about me. I'm still surprised he actually wants to talk to me, especially since he hasn’t said a word to me since we broke up weeks ago. I saw his message earlier in the day and I felt overwhelmed with all kinds of emotions. Perhaps the good thing about our meeting is that he could finally give me an explanation about why he cheated on me with my best friend Bella. It still hurts to remember how he had slapped me with his words after I had caught them shamelessly having sex on the day of our anniversary. Lucas had been my friend since I arrived at the pack and we connected instantly before becoming lovers. Then Bella came into the picture and also became my best friend. I always thought we had no secrets but she took my boyfriend, claiming he was
Chapter two Ciara's POV The faint rays of sunlight hit my face and I opened my eyes gently. My eyes were still blurry as I sat up. This most definitely wasn't my room. Where was I? I couldn’t remember coming to this place yesterday night, in fact, I couldn't remember much of anything except those scary men that had tried to force themselves on me. I deeply wished it wasn't the men I remembered walking in on that brought me here. What happened? “Let go of her..” I remembered something just then! The stranger that had walked into the room while I had been struggling to run away. Did he save me? Was this his house? His bed? I immediately pulled the blankets up to check myself and a cry of alarm left me as I realized I was naked. I had a one night stand with a stranger! What have I done? "Looks like you're finally awake." That same voice from last night said and I looked forward. My breath caught as I saw the same man from last night standing there in his robe with his rock-ha
Chapter three Ciara's POV I stood in front of the mirror after the maids finished dressing me for the ball at the Alpha's mansion and sighed. Today was the day of my engagement to Alpha Orion. My grandmother, step-grandmother, had somehow managed to convince my grandfather to agree to this union because Sophie had escaped. Tears clouded my vision as I studied the silver dress I had been asked to wear. I looked like Cinderella on the night of the ball after her fairy godmother had transformed her rags into a beautiful dress. The dress was beautiful. A knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts and I watched as my personal maid walked into the room with a smile on her face. She looked every bit like a bride whereas I looked like I was being sent to the gallows. “Ms Clara, it is time.” Lydia announced and I nodded, walking towards her as she led the way. I walked down the hallway and walked past a slightly opened door, clenching my gloved hands. Sophie’s room was still the sa
Chapter four Orion's POV The thought of not getting married to Sophia after all made me furious but oday had to go as planned. It was my chance to finally prove to my father that I can handle the affairs of the pack and I won’t let anything ruin it. I was quite relieved that Omega from the other night never noticed the mate bond between us. I could never end up with an Omega, never. On second thoughts, it would have been nice to marry her inside of the substitute bride the Heartfield family would be forcing down my throat. When she had run out of the hotel room that day, I had hoped to never run into her again but fate had something else planned. Why was she here at my coronation ceremony? "Meet me on the balcony." I mind linked her immediately and made my way to the balcony to wait for her. I didn’t want to be seen with her and I didn’t want anyone knowing we were mates either. I waited for a few minutes before she joined me. Her scent was heavenly and I was suddenly tempted t
