Chapter 153: Bonus Story-ls Ciana My Mate?(Part 1)

*Ciana*

Laying in bed, Theo pulled me into him and gave my cheek a kiss from behind. My body molded into his perfectly. I sighed as he drew me in closer, rubbing his large hand over my belly.

I was almost six months along, and my baby bump had begun to show. I was always amazed when I looked at my body and how it morphed and changed to accommodate our child.

Being pregnant had been one of the most rewarding things on this earth for me. Theo and I had created something out of our love for one another.

‘Good night, my love,” he murmured against my skin. “Tomorrow is a big day for you.”

I let out a heavy sigh and moved more into him. “Yes, it is.”

Tomorrow would be my 21st birthday, which meant that I would finally be of age to shift and find my wolf, which also meant that I would be able to recognize whether or not Theo was my mate.

My heart told me he was but not everything was set in stone. All signs pointed to him but there was still that little doubt that played in my mind.

What if there was the slightest possibility that he wasn’t?

Theo must have sensed my tenseness because he willed me to turn around so that I was now facing him. He ticked a stray of hair behind my ear and looked me dead in the eye.

“It will all work out, Ciana. We’ve got this. You’re mine and I’m yours, okay?” He captured my lips in the sweetest of kisses and then leaned his forehead against mine.

Our baby wiggled in between us making herself known. We were both convinced that it was a girl and I just knew in my heart that she was.

“Baby girl seems to agree with her father,” I giggled. “I still can’t believe we made a little life!”

“I can.” He rubbed my swelling belly. “I’m sure she is as beautiful and brave as her mother.”

I placed my hand on top of his over my stomach. “And I hope that she has her father’s courageous and resilient heart.”

I placed my head on his chest and closed my eyes, willing sleep to come to me but I knew it was pointless. There was no way that I would be able to sleep tonight. Too much was going to happen tomorrow and my heart was unsettled.

I believed in our bond and the love we had, but that didn’t lessen my anxiety of the unknown. No matter how hopeful we were, there still were possibilities that he wasn’t my mate, and what if one day his true mate came into the picture? Would his love for me simply dissolve?

All my worries made my heart beat speed up. I was desperate to find a comfortable position to settle in, but I failed miserably. However, I tried my best to keep myself still so that I didn’t bother Theo.

When I felt Theo’s chest rise and fall slowly I knew that he was asleep. I carefully crawled out of the bed making sure not to wake him and put on a hoodie and a pair of sweats.

Making my way out of the room, all I could think about was tomorrow.

When I passed the grand clock in the long hallway, I saw the time and I had just under two hours before my 21 st birthday. There was no possible way I could wait in bed quietly and pretend to be asleep for the rest of the night!

I made it out of the back gardens and a little bit into the forest behind the palace. There sat the Moon Goddess temple.

The silver moonlight coated the praying hall. It wasn’t an overbearingly grand building, but rather a mid-sized, simple, open square hall with twelve stone columns supporting a marble rooftop. Surrounding the temple was a garden that stretched out to vast open fields and into the forest.

The white marble statue of the Goddess stood closer to the east end of the hall, looking down on us.
