Orion's POV

"Son, how is Old Man Heartfield doing?" My father asked as he walked into my office. I sighed and sat up, looking away from the documents on my table. Since the last time I had been at the hospital, I hadn't gone there again and my father's question suddenly made me feel guilty but I shrugged it off.

He sighed as he took a seat and eyed me thoughtfully. "Are you really going to throw away your future over a woman. Why don't you accept this woman you have here and who knows?" he asked and I looked at him like he had lost his mind.

Was he really asking me to forget Sophie? To ignore the memories nad future I had imagined with her?

"I'm not asking you to forget her," He continued as if hearing my thoughts. "I'm only asking you to start living your life after all she did run off with another man."

"I'm sure there's a perfect explanation for that Father," I told him coming to Sophie's defense and he shook his head. "Look father, i am neck deep in paper work."

He eyed me for a

    Ciara’s POVI 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

    Ciara's POVOrion kissed me."So I was thinking a mild pink and then some white for the flowers......."Orion kissed me."Then a touch of blue for......Luna, are you listening?"I flinched and gasped as a hand brushed against my shoulders. 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

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

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?"

    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

Old Man Heartfield must have done a number on you.” She groaned and sat up, wincing as she grabbed her arm. “You have no idea. I can't feel my legs right now.” I chuckled as I got out of the car. I walked over to her side and opened the door. “Well it's a good thing you have me. Hop on,” I turned my back to her and waited. It felt like I had been waiting a long time before she finally jumped on my back. I straightened and began walking into the packhouse. “Alpha,” Ryan greeted me just as we were halfway to the house. I nodded at him and threw the keys at him. “Help me lock up,” He ran off after catching the keys and I carried Ciara into the house heading for my office instead of the room where I'd normally have taken her. “What are you doing? I need to lie down.” She said and I sighed. “I know but we have to talk first.” She stiffened a

Gramps had offered to help me transition beautifully into my dire wolf phase and since he knew more above them than I did, I had taken him up on his offer. It had been two weeks of torture and each time I walked more frustrated than ever. I had a lot on my mind and I had hoped this would help distract me but it wasn't. “Snap out of it,” I sucked quickly before his hand could touch my face. He grinned and I rolled my eyes. Straightening my back, I leaned forward again and blocked his next attacks, sucking in air as the pressure in my chest increased. “Okay, I think that's enough for one day,” he said and pulled back. I frowned and stared at him in confusion. “What's going on?” He pinned me with a hard look as if trying to read me. “I should be asking you that.” “What?” I asked, avoid his gaze. He shrugged and picked up a water bot

I had been texting Bryan in the car on the way here so I knew he was already home but I didn't expect to find him standing at the entrance, waiting for me. When he saw me, his face spread into a wide grin and he opened his arms wide. I smiled and ran into them, burying my face into his neck as he held me by my waist, my feets not touching the ground. “I missed you,” he whispered in my ears as his arms tightened around me. I held on tighter and inaled his scent. “I missed you too and before you ask, Lacey is with her grandparents. They decided they wanted her around.” He groaned as I struggled to be put down but obliged. Once my feet touched the ground again, I leaned against him and kissed him deeply like I had wanted to do when I first saw him. I didn't know it was possible to love someone so deeply but yet here I was falling helplessly in love with him mo

He was obviously avoiding me or Ciara or both but it was clear. “What do you think you're doing?” I asked as I walked inside. Orion sat up in his seat, a scowl on his usually tight face. “Bryan, I don't remember agreeing to a meeting.” I shook my head. “I don't remember asking,” I turned to James. “You can go now, I'll take it from here.” James eyed Orion before he sighed and walked out leaving us alone. “What are you doing here Bryan? I have a lot of work to do.” “Yeah? Like what?” I asked as I walked around the desk. “There is no serial killer on the loose any longer as it turns out, all is right in the world again.” He sighed and slammed the folder in his hand on the table. “Goddamnit Bryan can't you just go and be happy with her? I'm trying here.” I narrowed my eyes. “What are you talking about?” He rolled h

Ryan was sitting in the car outside and no matter how much I had convinced him to come in, he refused. “Of course I'm happy to see you, I'm just surprised.” She closed the door and turned to me. “Is everything okay?” She asked and I nodded. “Why wouldn't they be?” She raised an eyebrow and I sighed. “Everything is fine Grandma I promise. I just missed you all so much and I thought, why don't I come visit?” She didn't look convinced but she wasn't trying to pry the real reason out of me either. “Where's Mikey? The house is too quiet.” She laughed. “Well, he and your grandfather went to the store.” I narrowed my eyes. “Alone? Grandma, it's…” She cut me off before I could finish giving her a lecture. “You don't need to remind me how unsafe it is around here child but your grandfathe

He was quicker though and by the time I got to him, he had moved. “Faster,” he chorused behind me, clapping his hands. I turned and frowned when I saw the smirk on his face. “You're enjoying this.” I accused and he shrugged. “Maybe, maybe not but what you gonna do about it?” he taunted and I sneered as I charged towards him. “Not fast enough,” he snickered as he swerved out of the way again, beating me for the tenth time that morning. I snorted and stepped aay, making my way to the bench where we had kept out things. “Giving up so soon?” He asked but I ignored him as I grabbed my water bottle and drank from it quickly. The tremor in my body relaxed a little as the water passed my throat and circulated. We had been at this since dawn. Bryan woke me up with a passionate kiss and promised to finish what he started if I agreed to train for four hours. N

    Chapter 111 Orion's POV I twirled the pen in my hand absentmindedly. My body was sitting in my chair behind my desk in the office but my mind was miles away. What good was rejecting Ciara as my mate if I was going to feel restless when she was hurt or in pain? It was like we were more connected than ever and it took all of my willpower to stand up and walk out of that room when all I wanted to do was sit by her side and stroke her hair. I dropped the pen and began tapping my fingers on the desk. “You're an idiot.” My wolf said and I sighed. He was right, I was the biggest fool. Why would I reject my mate even if she was moving on? Why would I try to reassure my nemesis that she was alive just to calm his wolf when I should have blamed him for her condition? It wasn't his fault that Brianna had shown up at his pack but he could have kicked her out already. Mum had no idea her sister was back and from the looks of things, Brianna had no plans of showing up here to anno

    Chapter 110 Bryan's POV I stormed out as soon as I heard noises outside and glared at Brianna who was lying on the ground with Ciara unconscious beside her. “What happened?” Orion was standing beside me wordlessly but I could feel how restless he was. “We were attacked.” She said in a breathless tone. “It seems most of your pack members aren't very fond of your choice in a Luna.” She staggered to her feet. “This wouldn't have happened if she had remained with Orion.” I growled and stepped forward. “How do you expect me to believe that you had nothing to do with it?” She scoffed. “If I did, you have no way of proving it.” She spat on the ground. “Although your mate held her own for a weak and useless Omega.” My heartbeat picked up as I bent over Ciara's limp body. Had she shifted out of desperation to protect herself? “And what is little Orion doing here? Does my sister know you're here?” she asked, turning to look at Orion. Orion ignored her as he came to stand by my side. “

I had left her and Bryan to talk privately but I was uneasy, bursting at the seams wanting to know what was said. The energy about her had changed when she met me in the garden and I knew their conversation had been tense which peaked my curiosity further. “You're staring,” she commented and I flushed. I quickly looked away and continued jogging. “I’m sorry, I just got lost in thought,” She stopped and placed her hands on her hips. “What's on your mind? You can be free with me,” I hesitated before replying. “How did your talk with your brother go?” She laughed and nodded. “I knew that was what you were mulling over in your head.” she raised an eyebrow. “What do you want to know?” “I know you both have a lot of things to talk about and I'm just curious about how it went. He said he'd give you a chance.” She nodded. “He did.” Afterwards, she
