Alpha’s Vow: Reclaiming his lost Luna

Aria and Kiana hugged each other as if the little girl knew that the omega was her missing parent.

When Cyrus realized that they were still in a public place, he moved closer to them and suggested finding a restaurant to eat first.

Aria growled at him when he tried to take Kiana away from her.

"Oh, easy. I'm not taking her away from you. I just wanted to help you up so we could go to the restaurant." Cyrus said while holding his hands up to show Aria he wasn’t taking Kiana from her.

Cyrus should know he should ask questions too. 

There were still many questions left unanswered but he couldn’t help but smile seeing Aria possessively carrying their pup. 

It's a sight he would never exchange with anything else in the world.

 In fact, Cyrus knows he would  die to have that sight in front of him forever.

 He just wants his family back.

Aria bit  her lower lip  as she subtly wiped her tears away. 

She is still overwhelmed with the truth she just discovered. 

She has a lot of questions she wants to ask to the pure blood alpha but Kiana in her arms calms her down. 

She even blushed when she accidentally growled at Cyrus just a while ago because she really didn't mean to act like that in front of the father and daughter but she just couldn't help it.

 Her daughter is alive and she's holding her in her arms.

Cyrus guides the two to Kiana’s favorite restaurant. 

They also chose to sit on the farthest corner where not a lot of people could see them because Cyrus might not admit it, he loves watching Aria all over their pup.

Aria was still silent while Cyrus was ordering their food but the omega's hand never left Kiana’s tiny ones until the little girl finally noticed it too.

"Are you okay now Pwetty Pwincess? We should twy stwabewwy dip here so you'll be alwight. Kiki loves it too, right daddy?" Kiana turned to ask her daddy who immediately nodded his head.

Cyrus smiled fondly at his pup before he nodded.

"Yes baby, I'm sure Pretty Princess would love it too. She seems like someone who loves strawberries just like you." Cyrus said while his eyes are already back on Aria.

The omega couldn’t help but tear up again when she realized that her pup loves the things she loves too. 

She knows Kiana could perfectly sit on her own but she still carried her and let her sit on her lap while she continued to nuzzle her.

Cyrus wasn't even surprised to see the two who looked comfortable with each other. 

He also wanted to howl in happiness just by watching the two but he knows that there are still lots of things he needed to discuss with Aria and one of those is the matter of whoever separated them three years ago would probably won't let them be together again.

With that thought in his head, Cyrus unconsciously clenches his fist under the table. 

But his angry pheromones still didn't pass Aria’s nose because he saw how the omega's head snaps towards him.

"Aria."

"Cyrus"

They said at the same time.

"We will talk, but you have to trust me on this." Cyrus said while his eyes started to look around them when he realized that he might be putting his mate and daughter in danger again.

Aria seemed to understand what he's talking about as she also scanned the place while her hands tightened around her pup.

"Cyrus I can't let her go again, not now that I know I've lost 3 years of our lives together." Aria said while trying to calm down because everything feels surreal at the moment.

"Aria, you'll never have to let her go again but we have to make sure of some things first. We have to talk, but definitely not here. D-do you trust me?" Cyrus asked with determination in his voice.

 Aria sighs as she leaves a light kiss on her daughter's forehead before she nods at Cyrus . 

How could she not trust the man in front of her when Cyrus’s eyes tell her everything she needed to know. 

Someone manipulated them three years ago. Someone tried to break their family apart and now understands very well why Cyrus was so mad at her when they first saw each other in her hometown. 

She now understands why the pure blood alpha's mark never vanished nor faded from her neck because Cyrus never stopped looking for her.

"We have to know the truth, Aria, but we have to trust each other this time. I want you to promise me that whatever happens you'll never run away this time. K-Kiana needs you too." Cyrus said and for the first time, the pure blood alpha softened while he stared at his daughter.

"I won't run away again Cyrus, but what really happened? How is she alive when Lexi told me that she died?" Aria asked in a low voice when she noticed that Kiana was busy with the bread sticks in front of her.

Cyrus’s eyes widened the moment he heard the other alpha's name. "A-Alex did what? What did Alexander tell you?" Cyrus asked with disbelief on his face.

"Cyrus, Alex was the one who called me that day. She accompanied me when we went to your private cemetery before I left." Aria said with a very confused expression on her face.

Cyrus almost cursed right there and then because what the Fuck! How could Alex do that to them? to their innocent pup?

The pure blood alpha swallowed all the bad words he wanted to spit because he didn’t want to lose control in front of his pup. 

He was  about to speak when he noticed Ari’s expression shifts from confusion to rage. 

He was about to ask her what was wrong when a familiar scent invaded his nose.

"Here you are Cyrus and our little angel. Wow, Ria, I didn't know you're also here." Alexander greeted the three inside the restaurant, beside her is Knight who was  already staring at Aria.

Cyrus suddenly had the urge to rip out Alex’s  heart right at that moment but to hid surprise, Aria stood up from his seat to hug her best friend.

"Hey lex, it's nice to see you here. Look, I bumped into your family. I just came to say hi to your little Kiana but I'm actually going home." 

Aria said with the sweetest smile she could muster at that moment when deep inside her, he wanted to explode.

Cyrus’s eyes widened with disbelief how Aria pulled that act immediately but when he saw the deadly emotion in her eyes, he just knew that his ex wife already had an idea what Alex did to their family.

"Oh, it's nice to see that you're getting along well with our little Kiki Ari. Also, I bumped into your alpha, I mean with Knight outside, I guess he's taking you home?" Alex asked again not knowing that Aria already knew how crooked her heart was.

Aria threw a glance at her friend who still looks serious before he looks back at Alex again.

"Yeah, I texted Knight a while ago because I didn't know I'd bump into YOUR family. But we're leaving now so you can enjoy your dinner." Aria said. 

She purposely put an emphasis on the word YOUR just to see her ex best friend's reaction but to her horror, Alex just smiled as if she really loved the thought that Kiana and Alex are actually her family.

"Oh sure Ari. Thank you so much and keep safe. I hope we can catch up again next time." Alex even said before she settled on the seat where Aria was just a minute ago.

Cyrus and Knight were both quiet with the whole exchange until Aria walked around the table and crouched down in front of her daughter.

 She hates how she can't scent her because they're both wearing scent blocker but she promised herself that next time she sees her, they will be both free of the chemical.

"Hey princess, Pretty princess needs to go now okay? I'll see you again soon." Aria whispered before she left a kiss on the little girl's forehead.

"Bye bye Pwetty pwincess!" Kiana waves at her.

Aria took all the shopping bags from Cyrus' side and subtly leaned to the pure blood alpha.

"Keep my daughter safe," Aria whispered as she walked towards Knight, who had been oddly silent throughout the conversation.

"Bye Ria." Alex waves at them again and this time, Aria wasn't able to stop herself so she went back to hug the alpha once again.

"Don't say goodbye to me again Lexi, we'll see each other again." Aria whispered to her best friend's ear before she finally left with Knight, leaving Alex who suddenly had a goosebump with the way Aria said those words to her.
