Chapter 62 Bryan's POV I can't believe it was so easy to trick Orion. For such a well-known Alpha, I expected he'd have figured out my plan from the beginning at least in the middle but just like everyone else except Sophie of course, he had been ignorant. So far, Ciara was angry about Orion's behavior and there was no way she'd forgive him for this betrayal. Besides his mother's insults and the fact that Sophie and Orion were supposed to be together in the beginning would definitely make Ciara lose interest in him. At least that's what I was hoping for. I snickered as I poured myself some wine, swirling the liquid in the glass. “To me,” I chuckled and shook my head, busting at the seams with happiness. With how successful this plan had gone, I had no doubt that Ciara would be by my side in no time. “Alpha, I…” I heard from behind me and turned, smiling at my Beta. “Come in, come in…” I ushered him into the office as I quickly prepared another glass. “Did something happe
Chapter 63Ciara's POV It had been two weeks and 14 days since I moved out of the packhouse and everything felt numb. My body aches all over, there were bags under my eyes, and I couldn't muster the strength to do anything at all. My heart felt weak and all I could do was cry and sulk and lie in bed all day. Grandma Grace often came to the door of my room to check on me and today was no different. “Ciara, child please open the door. At least eat something.” She pleaded, her desperation evident in every word she spoke. This was a different technique from yesterday or the day before. It seemed she always came up with new ways to get me out of my room and I always caved. “I know you're heartbroken but I don't want you harming yourself over someone who never cared about you in the first place.”Fresh tears rolled down my cheeks as I heard her words. But she was right, Orion had never loved me. He had made it clear from the beginning that he never wanted her. Just because he had ch
Chapter 64 Ciara's POV “Congratulations, your granddaughter is pregnant.” It had been a month since I moved out of the Blood Moon packhouse. It had also been exactly two weeks since the doctor gave us the news of my pregnancy and I was still in shock. Grandma was the complete opposite and was walking around the house with a new chip on her shoulder calling herself the newest grandmother. Right now, she was dancing around the kitchen while preparing breakfast. The dining table was already filled with different dishes but she was still cooking. She had become like this after the doctor's announcement two weeks ago and I couldn't get her to stop. “I can't wait for your child to come, I'm going to be a grandmother.” She sang and I rolled my eyes at her terrible singing voice. “Grandma, isn't this food enough? Why do we need more?” I asked her feeling awkward. She shook her head and continued what she was doing. “Don't you know you're eating for two now?” I shook
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
