“No,” She said sternly without looking behind her. The door of the carriage had opened and she knew who was about to get down.
“Ma-”
“I would be back before you blink.” She sighed as the door closes, she walked away from the carriage and stood before the mansion, emotions and events of the past flooding in.

“The Alpha King's replica?!” Someone exclaimed “Or am I seeing things?” They added.
“Black hair, same face, dark orbs,” Another said “A test isn't needed.”
The little boy who wouldn't be above four years old walked with confidence through the crowd and stood before Dianna who had momentarily stop breathing.
Pulling her hand, “Mama?” He called, Dianna released the breath she was holding and stared down at the child “Who bullied you?” He asked again and this time he stared at the crowd, with a deep frown.
“That look reminds me of,” Elias the Alpha King's Beta paused as he stared at his master who was equally perplexed “You, my lord.” He stated with surprise.
Dianna squatted and whispered “Dearest, I told you to wait in the carriage, you just disobeyed Mama.” She said, the love and care in her eyes not dissipating one bit.
“I miss Mama and Mama was taking too long.” He hugged her “I blinked but didn't see Mama.”
She chuckled softly as she carried him “Mama is sorry for taking too long.” She planted a kiss on his cheeks.
Dianna sighed seeing the surprised and shocked looks on everyone's face, fine, her secret is out but she isn't explaining any damn thing to nobody.
“Impossible -”
“Mama,” The child in her hands called cutting off Dianna's stepmother “You didn't tell who bullied you.” He said staring from one person to another.
Dianna smiled shaking her head “No one bullied Mama, let's go home.”
As the child's eyes landed on the Alpha King, he raised his little hand and asked “Is that papa?”
“No, Knight.” Dianna hurriedly said gently pushing his little hand away, she made to leave but was stopped by Elias.
“Stay out of my way!” She deadpans.
Elias snorted “We want answers woman, answer.”
“And you and everyone here is getting none!” She snapped, held on to her child tightly “Get out of my way, Beta Elias!” Yet he blocked her.
“You had better start talking,” Elias pulled out his sword causing the little boy to gasp in fascinated.
“Mama!” He exclaimed excitingly “Did you see that!” To everyone's surprise the little boy seems to be having fun.
“Knight!” Dianna scolded, frowning at the little boy who recoiled immediately.
“Sorry Mama.” He said and rested his head on crook of her neck.
Dianna tries to move again but Elias and the other guards wouldn't let her through, damn! Now she wished she hadn't brought him at all but her son wouldn't let her leave because of his cries, she wanted no one to find out about him, absolutely no one!
“You all wanted me to leave,” Dianna began staring around “Now I am ready to leave but you all are stopping me! How ironic!”
Helena who was visibly shaking forced out her trembling order “Beta Elias, let her through.”
Elias didn't make a move, he stood rooted to the spot, his sword outstretched, his hardened gaze shifted to the Alpha King who was still very much in shock to even utter a word.
“My lord,” Elias called pulling Connell, his master out of his thought “What's your order?” He asked.
“Knight?” The Alpha King called, the little boy who had his head turned away stared at the Alpha King.
He wasn't going nuts right? He was staring at a younger version of himself, his very replica.
“Yes.” The little boy answered.
Alpha King Connell turned to his Beta, “Elias, retreat your sword,” Elias obeyed at once “But, Lady D’ell isn't leaving until I have my answers.” He said in his Alpha tone making everyone bow even Dianna herself.
Oh no! … She never wished for him to find out.
“But, my lord-” Helena tries to dispute as she caress Connell’s arms but his frown shut her up, he removes her hands from his.
Connell stood before Dianna, she averted her gaze “Knight?” He called and stretched out his hands to the lad who shook his head and tightened his arms around his mother, Connell chuckled finding the little boy cute.
Wait? The Alpha King just chuckled? … Everyone was surprised at that.
“Meet me in the inner room.” Connell said and made his way out of the crowd.
Now she has been exposed!.. Dianna thought worriedly.
…
“Now that I think of it,” Connell rose from his seat, he made his way to Dianna who was standing, her son seated on a small stool beside her, the boy wouldn't be anywhere except beside his mother.
“Were you at Merry’ bar?” He questioned as he stared at the beautiful brown eyes that had made his dead heart skip four years ago, even now he felt warmth staring at them
Dianna looked away, Connell felt his warmth snatched, he sighed “I need answers.”
“Yes, that was the place she celebrated her twentieth birthday.” Helena answered, her voice shaky.
“So, I am taking it that you are the drunk girl that forced herself into my room, drunk and unable to control herself? And had left at the c***k of dawn.”
He remembers that night vividly, he had entered Merry's bar, tired, sleepy and tipsy, just as he landed on the bed to rest,his door opened only for a drunk lady to enter, she rushed at him as if her life depended on it and kept wanting her to touch him, which he later gave in to thinking she was a pack harlot.
Tears brimmed in her eyes, she bit her inner cheeks .. was that what he remembered of her?
“But there is only one way to find out,” The Alpha King said closing the gap between them engulfing Dianna in his muscular warmth, she tries to step back but he held her by the waist, pushing her against himself, her breasts pressed against his chest.
Helena gripped the handle of her seat, fear mixed with fury burned in her, her mother places her hand on Helena's trying to calm her down.
Zander let out a low hiss which only his mate heard, she in turn stared at him with a frown.
Despite the excitement that was beginning to build up in his lower region, he cleared his throat and announced “The girl had a tattoo of two stars and one crescent moon.”
Dianna's eyes widened, her heart almost leaped out of her chest.
“On the upper side of her left breast.” He added as he held her gaze, Dianna held her breath …. Oh moon goddess! This isn't happening!
Wait? On a second thought he can't check it himself can he? … Dianna thought and relaxed a little.
“You can't be so sure.” She said finally finding her voice which to Connell dripped of honey which he very much wanted to lick.
“Ofcourse,” He took a step away from her, “Old lady Salsa!” He called and Dianna courage gave way, No!
The slivered haired woman walks in, a smile on her face, she bows to the Alpha King.
“Check her for three stars and a crescent moon tattoo.” He ordered the old lady nodded, took Dianna's hand and led her to another room, Knight trailing behind them.
Silence descended on the room.
Connell couldn't believe all that was unfolding but somehow he wanted it to be her, hell! He knew she was the one. A small smile etches on his lips but it was gone as soon as it came, only Elias seemed to have seen it.
‘Please don't let it be her.’ Helena prayed, all her plan and labor four years ago can not go to waste! Never!
Tension filled the air as Old lady Salsa stepped out.
“Positive my lord, she has three stars and one crescent moon tattoo on her upper left breast.” She announced.
Dianna grabbed her son's hands and marched forward towards Connell, Elias stood up ready to stop her but the Alpha King waved him off.
“You can't determine with that!” She yells, she wouldn't back down.
“Oh really.” His words were laced with amusement as he walked towards her, she huffed looking away.
He lowered his lips to her ears “How about the three moles?” Dianna sucked in a breath.
What!...
“The one under your right breast, the other one above your right ass cheek and the last one in your left inner thigh.”
Dianna gasped making everyone anxious on what the Alpha King had whispered to her.
Straighting himself he said loudly without breaking their gaze “Should we check for those?” He asked with a smirk.
Dianna, defeated, bowed her head and uttered “No.”
“I thought as much.” He smiled, turning to Elias, he commanded “Crown her, I have a Luna Queen now.”
“Yes my lord.” Elias replied immediately with a bow.
“What?!”
