Chapter 22 Ciara's POV After the issue with Mama Grace, Orion and I got into it or should I say I got into it with Orion. He had been trying to be nice to me but I didn't want it. It was suspicious and obviously, anyone in my position would have done the same thing I did. Because how could he just try to be nice to me now? Why now? He never really liked me before so what had changed? Or had Grandfather's condition triggered something in him towards me? If Bryan had been the one to offer his support then I would have received it with open arms because he had been so supportive even when I didn't need or deserve it from him. Oh, how I missed him! I fought the urge to reach out to him and ask him for his support every day and even now Mama Grace and I didn't seem to agree on this issue. We both wanted Grandfather to feel better but we just couldn't agree on a particular point of view. Her calling me a little girl hurt me deeply but I brushed it off as her pain overwhelming her

Bryan's POVAs I made my way back to my car, I fought the urge to turn on my heels and run back to Ciara. She hadn't been happy to see me leave but she didn't say anything but I saw it in her eyes. Seeing her like that tore at my heart but I needed to leave. Some things were going down at the pack that I had to take care of. If only I could reveal my identity as her mate and take her with me then all this won't be happening but I just couldn't. Now that her wedding to Orion had been announced publicly, announcing that she was my mate would only make people believe that I was against Orion and his happiness. But why did the moon goddess think it was a good idea to pair me and Orion like this? What happened to give me my mate? Why out of all the werewolves did she pick Orion to share a mate with me? It just didn't make sense.I sighed as I climbed into the back of the car and leaned back in my seat, closing my eyes. Thinking about the situation was frustrating as well as draining and I

Ciara's POVI let Lucas walk me back to the ward and then we stood outside while we talked some more. In that moment, he was the best friend I had made when I arrived in the pack and I badly needed to hang onto him because with so many changes in my life, I needed something to remain as it was. After a while, he patted my shoulder and sent me a sad smile. "Old Man Heartfield is a strong man, you should know he'd never let this thing keep him down for long. Before you know it, he will recover."I nodded, clinging unto his every word wanting it to be true because I wanted Gramps to be okay. We stood like that and then his hands went around me and I hugged him, grateful for his presence. I didn't realize how much I wanted someone to reassure me that everything would be okay until he showed up today. Even though ideally, I didn't want to talk to him, I was happy he had come to show his support. It showed that despite everything he cared about me and I couldn't count on him.He pulled bac

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 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
