บททั้งหมดของ Mate for the Feuding Alpha Brothers: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

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 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 36Ciara's POVI stood to the side and watched as Orion and his Beta put their things into the car in preparation for their one-month trip. "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. I have been tempted to hire

Chapter 38Ciara's POVIt''s been two days since Orion left and I haven't been able to leave this room.After the inappropriate moment I shared with Bryan yesterday I didn't feel up to seeing anyone so I locked myself in and I have been in this bed since then. My stomach had been growling and I didn't have it in me to get up and feed myself.I was at a loss for words and disappointed in myself for filling up with another man, my brother-in-law, a mere 24 hrs after my husband left home on business. That was disrespectful and if the roles were referred, I'd feel like Orion had betrayed me.Just the thought that Orion had searching for Sophie had broken my heart so what would Orion finding out that his brother and I had shared a moment do? If it were a brother he had love for then perhaps he might forgive me even though it would hurt but Bryan was his stepbrother who hated way too much. Why did I let myself go down this rabbit hole?I wasn't a cheat or disloyal woman so why did I let Bry

Chapter 40Ciara's POVBryan has been avoiding me.I sighed as I dipped the cloth in warm water and squeezed my mind playing back the events of the last few days. It's officially been a week since Orion left and exactly five days since my conversation with Bryan after Luna Stone rubbed my situation in my face and he has been avoiding me.I know what I said and I still stand by it but did he have to avoid me? Couldn't boundaries be maintained while we still talk? I didn't understand him, and even how he answered my question that day confused me more. He didn't explain himself and for some reason, I didn't ask him anything."Ciara,"I looked up as Grandmother Grace walked into the room practically dragging her body. Since Gramps fell ill, her health hasn't been in tip-top shape either. She acts strong but she's just fighting to be strong. I send her a soft smile as I mop Gramps's body with the cloth."You didn't have to stay behind for us you know? Being with Orion right now is more imp
