Chapter 60 The beginning and the end
“Dinner’s ready, let’s talk over dinner” Mrs Karl informed and everyone stood up. Eva glued to Daciana’s side without letting her go, it’s just been a few hours and they are already getting along, including Bella.
She never for once dreamt of this day heck, she never thought that she would have siblings that will love her at first sight. Daciana felt as if her life is finally complete, the only person missing is her Mum. She wish she was here to witness her reunite with her father and siblings.
She miss her so much, she was her hero and role model. The only person she looked up to while growing up.
“Will you like to come to my school one day? My friends will be happy to see you” Eva said in a high pitch tone. It is surprising to her parents how she got along quickly with Daciana, Eva is very picky when it comes to the people she keeps close to her.
“I would love to” Daciana replied not knowing what else to say than to agree. She doesn’t want to break her innocent heart when they are beginning to warm up to each other.
They chatted until they got to the dinning table, it was big enough to contain all of them and still has extra seats left.
The maids served different types of dishes. Alpha Connor sat down with both Daciana and Dolphus on his both sides.
Dolphus had figured out an hour ago, it is no doubt that Bella is his mate. After what seems like forever, he finally found his mate and he is even more appalled that she is the Luna’s sister.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
He kept stealing glances at the lady opposite him, he will look away if their eyes meet. She is too young and probably doesn’t understand what a mate is, even if she does, will she believe him? While he was in his own dilemma, Daciana closed her eyes and hummed. Her stomach growled, disgracing her in front of everyone.
Her face turned chromatic as they laugh at her.
“It’s nothing to be ashamed of honey, eat up” Mrs Karl said and dropped some beef in her plate. She glanced at Alpha Connor whose gaze was focused on her, without darting his eyes from her.
She ignored his gaze and hungrily munch on any food in front of her that her spoon landed on. She doesn’t know why but she is beginning to have large appetite, it is a known fact that wolves have large appetite but not as big as the amount of food she consume this days.
She also tend to feel hungry easily.
She coughed and Alpha Connor handed her a glass of water of which she gladly collected and gulped it down her throat. All this while, Alpha Connor didn’t eat a single meal, he kept staring at her and how she eats like someone that haven’t eaten in days. Is that also a sign of pregnancy?
“You should eat slowly dear, we have enough food in the kitchen” Mr Karl said, Daciana bowed her head in embarrassment. It’s not her fault that she wants everything in her stomach right away. She haven’t told them about her pregnancy, as much as she is curious to see their reactions, she will leave that to some other time but definitely before they head back.
“Are you not eating, brother in-law? Do you like my sister that much that you keep staring at her? ” Eva asked seeing the untouched meals in front of Alpha Connor. He have been busy staring at his WIFE, according to her Dad that he forgot to eat.
They all laughed at her questions, including the Alpha king. He do like her, so much that it scare him, in case he will go crazy. He haven’t loved anyone as much as he loves Daciana.
He sat well on the chair and started eating.
“You will stay for a few days right? Do you have any plan?” Mr Karl asked Alpha Connor.
“We are almost done with the construction of our company in New York and I also plan on building a new house, that’s bigger than the one we have” he said while Mr Karl nodded.
“That’s a great idea, I am always here if you need any help either way” he said.
“Thank you sir” Alpha Connor said. The dinner table was lively as they chatted among themselves, Daciana felt alive again. This is what it feels like to have a family. It feels really good to have one, especially with siblings like Eva and Bella who are cutely disturbing.
……………
“I told your Dad to give us a room, how about that?” Alpha Connor said as they stepped into one of the guest rooms. Dolphus took the one opposite theirs.
Alpha Connor closed the door behind him and hugged Daciana.
“Its okay” she replied timidly feeling his hands around her stomach.
“Just okay?” He whispered into her ear.
“I love it” she corrected with a smile. He spinned her around to face him.
“We will be spending days together here in California, what will you like to do?” He asked sitting her on the bed.
“Nothing much, I would love to explore a few beautiful places and enjoy the view” she said, already happy as she imagine the scenario in her head.
“Then we will do that, take a tour guide or go with your sisters. Will that be more fun?” He asked.
“Yes, going with my sisters will be more fun. We can easily bond well” she said and clapped he’d hands together.
“Right, I will see to it” he winked at her and bent down in front of her to remove her shoe.
“What are you doing? I can do that myself” she protested, taking her legs away but he caught them in one go.
“I want to remove them for you, no objection. You know that better than anyone else” he said with finality and Daciana knows better than to argue with him, he always has the last say.
She watch him remove her shoe and placed them somewhere around the corner before ambling towards her again.
She smiled at him, and laid on the bed with her legs still on the floor. She’s already tired without doing anything.
“Aren’t you going to take your bath?” Alpha Connor asked lying down beside her.
“I will, before I sleep. I am just tired” she said rubbing her eyes. Alpha Connor massaged her shoulder to ease her stress and she closed her eyes.
“I am sorry you have to go through this stress for our baby” he said apologetically while she just smiled at him and nodded her head. It is normal for a female to get pregnant.
“My only wish is to have you by my side forever Daciana, I am scared of waking up one day and you are gone” he said. That has been bothering him ever since he realized his feelings for her.
“I won’t leave, I am not going anywhere my king. I will always be right beside you as your Queen” she replied. Daciana doesn’t have any reason to disappear just like her father did. She knew how much her Mum hurt till the day she died, she wouldn’t let anyone feel that sort of pain because of her.
Alpha Connor moved closer to her, placing her head on his chest.
“I don’t know if I will be able to do without you, you’ve become a part of me I can’t do without” he kissed her forehead and rubbed his palm on her face.
“I might’ve not said this to you before but I love you Daciana, I love you so much that it makes me go insane. I know this might sound stupid but at a point, I was glad I brought you in as my slave back then. I am not proud of what I did to you but bringing you into my life is the best thing I have ever done for myself” he confessed to her.
Daciana’s eyes almost bulge out and her mouth wide open, she closed her eyes and inhale loudly thinking that is is a dream but when she opened her eyes again, she saw the Alpha king still lying beside her.
It’s not a dream! Alpha Connor just confessed his love to her, he just told her how much he loves her. She became so speechless, not knowing what to say to him.
“I-”
“You don’t have to say anything, I just don’t want to keep it with me anymore. The truth is that, those times I punished you for nothing, they were mostly because I kept thinking about you. I tried to push you away countless times but the feeling only got stronger, there is no doubt that I am undeniably in love with you” he cuts in.
“It doesn’t matter if you love me back or not, I will make sure you love me as time goes on” he vowed and Daciana laughed.
“You don’t have to try, I fell in love with you even when I knew you were dangerous. I love you too my king, I have always loved you. I don’t know when it started but I found myself falling deeply in love with you. It’s foolish right?” She confessed too and laughed it off.
“It’s not, that’s what makes you special my Queen. Among all the females, you stand out. You are not just beautiful but also the best woman a man will love to have” he said, entangling their legs together.
“I promise to treat you right from now on, you and our baby will always come first and I also want you to be my mate in my next world” he added and gently rubbed Daciana’s stomach.
This is the beginning of the end.
