Ciara’s POV

I turned on my side and yawned, feeling comfortable for the first time in two days. The chair had never been comfortable and I had never woken up feeling so relaxed and soft all over.

Just as my eyes cleared, I frowned as I took in my surroundings. This wasn’t the ward and I wasn’t in a room in the hospital either. Fear immediately gripped me as I looked around frantically. The last time something like this had happened, I had been, I had woken up in bed with Orion and then my life had taken a whole 360-degree turn. I went from being just a stranger to being an almost Luna.

“Calm down,” I forced myself to relax as I scanned my memory for what happened last night. The last thing I remembered was sobbing on Lucas’ body and him comforting me. I was so sure we had been together yesterday so how did I end up here?

Just as I tried to make sense of my situation, the door burst open and Orion walked in. Frowning, my eyes widened in shock as I misinterpreted the entire thing. I pee

    Ciara’s POV Shock reverberated through my body as I felt his warm lips on mine. I had never thought this day would come because Orion had always acted so disgusted of me. Now with his tongue trying to force its way down my throat, I couldn’t take it anymore so I fought against him. His hold on my waist didn’t let up so struggled against him for a while longer before he finally let me go. Frowning, he looked at me but I didn’t meet his eyes. I took a step back, my mind fuzzy and clouded. “What is going on?” His frown deepened but I was done with his games. Just a week ago, he was irritated with my presence, he never gave a shit about how I was feeling or what I was doing and now suddenly he found me irresistible? “What do you mean?” “Don’t play dumb Orion, please answer my question. Are you drunk?” I asked, my eyebrow raised. An unknown look entered his eyes and before I could ask him about it, it was gone. His face became expressionless and I shivered. Were we suddenly back to t

I spent a few minutes taking note of my surroundings before I sighed and turned to the over-the-top wedding planner, Luna Stone who insisted we hire for the wedding. She wasn't bad looking, okay she was pretty with brown eyes and a soft pale skin that drew your eyes the second you saw her. Her black luscious hair flowed down her back and whenever she moved, some of it came forward and covered her face."Luna?" she called again and I sighed, focusing my attention on her."Sorry, I got distracted for a second there," I muttered sending her an apologetic smile but she shrugged it off, her grin big and almost fake."I understand how intense these planning details can be but that's why I was hired by Luna Stone so I can take the weight off of your should

    Chapter 31Ciara's POVI was still reeling from the shock of what had just taken place in that room a couple of hours ago. Every time the memory popped into my head, I found myself glancing at Luna Stone who was back to her usually reserved self at the table. She had barely said two words since Lunch started.Was that who she was? Why was she keeping a facade and for whom? I shivered again as I remembered everything.A hand touched me and I shook in shock before relaxing when I stared at Orion's worried expression. "Are you okay?" He asked, his eyes filled with concern.The concern in his heart warmed me up from the inside but if I voiced out what was bothering me, how would he react? Would he believe his mother was a two-faced mean bitch?"Hey, you're scaring me," he whispered and I sighed, forcing a smile hoping he didn't see through it."I am fine Orion, I don't have much of an appetite," I told him and then turned back to start eating but as I picked up my fork, I felt the hairs o

    Chapter 32Ciara's POVI sat on the toilet bowl staring at the stick in my hand, my eyes glazed over. It had been two weeks and so much happened in such a short time.I was finally married to Orion and the officially Luna of the pack. Old Man Heartfield was responding to treatment to the shock and absolute surprise of the medical team on his case. Sophia was still a no-show and Bryan had been scarce since the wedding.He had shown up at the wedding and then like the wind, he had disappeared as fast as he had come and since then, no one has set their eyes on him or heard from him. I was tempted to ask about him but since I knew how much Orion hated his guts, I knew that wouldn't be such a good idea.Lucas and I were still growing strong every day and things seemed to be going even better than they had been in the beginning. I had seen Bella throwing me annoyed looks at training but I never paid her any attention. Now that I was officially married to Orion and had been named Luna, Bella

    Chapter 33Orion's POVI leaned against the wall for a few minutes after I walked out of the room to catch my breath and get my raging hormones under control. If someone had told me that I'd fall for my Omega mate, I would have beheaded them for even thinking it but look where we are now.Ciara had proven that she was a reliable and remarkable woman in this short time I have been around her, I was regretting not giving her a chance before now. She was patient and kind, sweet, loving, friendly, also cute too which was a bonus. She was my mate and now I felt like the biggest idiot there ever was because of how badly I treated her."Alpha,"I cleared my throat and moved away from the wall, schooling my expression as I saw James staring at me with a smirk on his face. "Where is my father?" I asked him, my voice hard and he immediately stood up straight, his smile slipping."Alpha Stone is waiting in your office."I nodded and walked to my office in long strides not waiting for James but a

    Chapter 34Ciara's POV"You look so happy," Lucas commented, staring at me as if he was seeing me for the first time in a while. Technically, it has been a while but it hasn't been that long to warrant such a stare from him."I am happy Lucas, I have never felt so happy in my life." I raised my hands immediately after the words left my mouth and sent him an apologetic look. "That's not to say you didn't make me happy. I will forever be grateful to you for how much you helped me when I first got here. I wouldn't have survived without you so I owe you forever for that."He shook his head with a grin. "Forever sounds like a stretch. How about just for a couple of months until I can think of a favour to collect from you?"I pretended to think about it and then we shared a laugh. "I guess we have a deal."We shook hands and shared a laugh feeling carefree and young."So, are you happy?" He asked suddenly and I frowned.I didn't like his tone. "What do you mean?" I asked him trying to remai

    Chapter 35Orion's POV"Alpha, a letter came from the Council of Alphas in the States and I'm afraid you will have to travel today."I groaned as I reached for the letter. I opened it and read its contents, sighing in defeat when I realized it wasn't something I could back out of so easily without getting an earful from my father who was big on these sorts of meetings.The meeting wouldn't have been a problem if I just had to stay a night or at most two days but I have to be gone for at least one full month. A lot could happen in that time. After the last few weeks as Ciara's husband, I had no regrets about my new life and if anything, I never wanted to leave her side. How could I possibly leave for that long without her? Would it be right?"Excuse me," James cleared his throat and left me alone with my thoughts.A soft knock sounded on the door pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked up just in time to see the subject of my thoughts standing there looking so pretty. I just couldn't ta

"do you want to come with me?"Orion had asked me to come with him and it had come as a shock to me when he asked. Yes things between us have been incredible since we got married and this trip would have been quite the adventure and would have probably brought us closer but I couldn't just drop everything and go with him.Grandfather was still in the hospital. Although his health was picking up every day, he was the Old Man Heartfield I remembered or the one everyone knew and loved. He had become a shell of the man he used to be. It pained me to see him like that but it pained me more to see Grandma Grace suffering.There was no love lost between us and we didn't like each other, heck we barely tolerated each other and yet I felt heartbroken anytime I saw how lean she had gotten because of Grandpa's condition.

We searched everywhere but couldn't find anyone or anything.” The last batch of the search party we sent returned with the same dissatisfying news. I hung my head and closed my eyes. We've been stuck in the woods for days without food and water trying to hunt down the creatures responsible for the recent killings. “I can't believe we've been unable to find anything,” one of the men grumbled as he sank tor he ground. Soon, murmuring began amongst the other men expressing their disapproval and dissatisfaction with the situation. I listened wordlessly unsure of how to comfort them when I was also feeling down and depressed. How could we have found nothing in these last few days? It was disheartening and very shameful. “Alpha, I think you should return back home now. Luna Ciara must be beside herself with worry. Ther has been no news sent back to the pack since we left.” Ryan said respectfully pulling me out of my thoughts. At the

    Chapter 87Ciara's POV I slid the new diaper under Lacey's bum and secured it around her legs before propping her on my lap. “Sleep baby,” She had been restless all day as if she knew that Bryan wasn't here or perhaps she could sense my internal struggles. “I'll be back,”That was what he said to me three days ago and yet I haven't set my eyes on him. He promised he'd come back to me and instructed me to look after Lacey and make sure she didn't miss him too much. It's been three days and there's no sign of him or Ryan. I had no clue if he was even alive or if something had happened to him. If only someone knew something. Presently, I was in his room where I had been sleeping since he left that day. Being around his clothes and objects that smelled like him was helping to calm me down but for how long?Perhaps it wasn't such a bad thing that I didn't have a wolf or else she'd be going berserk right now with her mate so far awayAlthough having a wolf, I'd know if Bryan is dead o

    Chapter 86Bryan's POV “We have increased the security at the border. Three of our strongest men are stationed at the border every morning and switched with their replacements every night.” Gamma Luke announced to the entire room of men. I leaned back in my seat, half of my mind on the current situation with the killings, the other half was far away with Ciara, wherever she was. “Alpha, would you like to say anything?” I looked up and found all eyes on me. Schooling my expression, I shook my head. “Go on,” Ryan shot me a curious look and I shook my head before turning to Delta Storm. “I think we need to make training compulsory for both males and females. Let's give everyone a fighting chance against whatever is hunting and killing people in their numbers.” I paused and looked around waiting for any interruptions. When there was none, I continued. “Yes the men are stationed at the border and even in strategic places around the pack but it isn't enough. I think everyone deserves

    Chapter 85 Ciara's POV I paced in front of the room waiting for an update on my daughter. Lacey had suddenly developed a fever this morning and I got really scared. As I paced back and forth, my mind kept reeling with different thoughts, different possibilities. Since I had no wolf, could my daughter have been affected? And then there was the issue with Bryan and I being mates, what did that mean? Since Lacey was Orion's daughter, an Alpha's flesh and blood, she should be protected, right? “Ciara,” I heard and turned, freezing on the spot. “What are you doing here?” “Orion,” I whispered, shocked and yet not that surprised to see him after all this was his pack. He pointed at my belly with a frown. “Did you…?” I raised an eyebrow. “Did I what?” Just then the hospital room opened and the doctor walked out carrying my daughter in her hands. I forgot all about Orion and ran to her, lifting Lacey into my arms. “Hey baby, are you okay?” I asked even though I knew

    Chapter 84 Bryan's POV Two days… It had been two whole days since I let the cat out of the bag about the mate bond and it had been radio silence since then. I haven't had time myself to check up on her anyway so I couldn't really blame her. The affairs of the pack had been pretty tasking over the last couple of days and we had been getting news of a series of killings in the neighboring packs. I sighed and looked around the room at all the powerful men sitting here. This meeting had been organized to discuss plans and ways we could protect our pack members from being victims of these series of attacks. We had been talking and arguing back and forth for a while and we still hadn't reached a conclusion. There were no leads and no one knew who could be behind it either. The pack members were agitated and rightfully so because the killings were strange and unprecedented. “The bite marks and loss of memory of the incident are the popular traits of those who have suffered the

    Chapter 83 Ciara's POV Three months later… “She's really beautiful,” Bryan commented as he paced around the room with my daughter, Lacey in his arms. He had practically moved into our house after I gave birth to Lacey and he was such a doting father to her that I had no regrets choosing him. We had started a relationship about two months ago after I gave birth to Lacey and it's been three months of bliss and happiness. Bryan is such an attentive and intentional man, the kind that many shewolfs in the pack would be dying to have and luckily he was all mine. I flushed and cleared my throat, looking to see Bryan already staring at me. He had a knowing smile on his face and i felt my cheeks grow hot and turn pink. “What are you thinking about?” He asked as he walked up to me. I stretched out my hand to take Lacey but he ignored them and sat by the side of the bed, leaning towards me. “Well?” He asked, his eyebrows raised. I sighed and shook my head. “Nothing important.”

    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 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 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.
