Chapter 99: Russell's scheme

Celina's POV.

"Ah!" I screamed hitting the table in my quarter. "How dare you?" I screamed, so many shattered stuff was on the floor, and my room was a mess.

"No," I shouted hysterically, Russell pulled the door open, looking at my mess room.

"Celina will you take it easy." Russell said, I turned and look at him, I have no idea he is a free man now.

"How do you expect me to be calm?" I asked Russell. "It's bad enough that, the pup is not his, and having a paternity test will only make him know that the pup is not his but yours."

"Oh dear, you are acting so suspicious and it will only make Rupert suspicious, you should never let your guard down and this is not the way a pregnant woman is supposed to behave." I  sobbed more.

"Russell, you are not getting me, first of all, I drugged the alpha and have carnal knowledge of him, I practically rape him and secondly, I was fooling everyone that we are still mates even when the mate bond had been broken and now, I just told the alpha that he is responsible for my pregnancy and the old alpha your father, asked me more than a thousand times, if Rupert is responsible, I didn't bat before saying yes, I have to lie your father and also to Rupert, I know Rupert wouldn't spare me if this is another lie of mine."

"And who said Rupert will find out that the pup is not his?" I rifle my hair in frustration, I don't think Russell is getting me.

"Beta Mason is the one that will carry out the test and there is no way, he is going to lie about it."

"Celina, do you think I will let that happen?" I look at him. "I haven’t come a long way so as to lose everything to Rupert."

"What do you mean Russell?"

"I have a plan that will make Rupert not claim Iris tomorrow, I heard he is having his Luna ceremony tomorrow," Russell said wickedly as his lips covered with a wicked grin.

"What are you planning?" I wipe my face.

"When a bride is claimed by another what will be there to claimed again."

"You mean..."

"Yes, I will be the one to claim her." I Titter at Russell's words.

"Are you daydreaming again?" He raised a vial, which is different from the former he gave me.

"What is that again?"

"This is a two-in-one portion, it has a strong portion of aphrodisiac and also hallucinations." Russell said. "Just a drop from this vial on any place that Iris will pass, she will be craving for the touch of her mate and all she will see is me, thinking that is Rupert, her beloved mate." Russell's face brightens in excitement feeling fulfilled by what he thinks he will achieve.

"Tomorrow night, at the claiming ball, where Russell will officially claim her, that will be the beginning of a new dawn."

"Russell, I don't think it's a good plan, Rupert will come after you, the very minute he finds out what you did to his mate, he will kill the both of us."

"And who told you, she will return, I will make her all mine, I will make her reject Rupert and pick me, then my next plan is for her to declare me mate to her and after taking the alpha position, I will kill her." My mouth fall open smiling at the sweet plan that Russell had.

"Oh my dear, you have to be patient with Dad, soon I will give you the life, your grandfather had to deprive your father of, but you got nothing to worry about, Father got your back." He pecks my tummy and lefts.

Ariana's POV.

I stared at the test result in my hand, I was feeling feverish earlier after I made a mindlink with Iris, I could feel the uneasiness of my tummy, and my skin was burning, I felt it was not a big deal but after Mason left me because old alpha Oscar called for him, my uneasiness mass up, so I decided to run a test.

"I am pregnant." I chant the words, and I jumped.

"Oh Ariana, with the way you are jumping, you are going to let the pups fall off your tummy." My wolf yelled.

"Oh dear, I am just overly excited about the turn of events, I never knew I could be having my pup soon." I circle my hand across my tummy, as a sweet smile curves my lips and sweet tears of joy run down my cheeks.

"Are you crying?" My wolf asked.

"No, It's tears of joy, I remember when I have you as my wolf and now we are growing a pup, after years of Mason claiming me."

"When are you going to tell Mason, that we are having a pup."

"Not yet."

"I am sure, he is going to be so thrilled. It seems everything is falling into place, you are having a pup and Mason is now the beta."

"Leave me alone." I said to my wolf, I sat in front of my mirror, watching my reflection, the door flew open and Mason's face came up, he was scared.

"My love, the nurse at the center told me that, you were there and that then run a test on you, Is it fever? Why didn't you contact me, you should have just placed a call to me, and I will be here. Are you alright now?"

He closed the distance between us, pulling my knuckles to his lips, and kissed them.

"Are you feeling better now and what was the result?" He asked as he noticed my silence. "Come on tell me, you are scaring me and I am sorry that, I left you."

"You are sorry?" I asked.

"Yes, just tell me what to do, to make it up to you?" I stand from him, distancing myself from him.

"Come on Ariana, I am sorry, let me make it up to you and I know these past days have been hard for me and I have been really busy but I promise after the Luna ceremony of Rupert tomorrow, I will be good.

"You will be a good father?"

"I asked him?"

"What did you just say?"

"I am pregnant." I yelled and Mason pulled me off the floor in excitement, pressing kisses all over my face.

"Thank you for making me, the happiest man."

"And thank you for making me a mother." I smiled as the thought of having a pup spread across my head and I can't wait to tell Iris about it after the Luna ceremony tomorrow.
