The alpha female immediately went back to their table and asked Cyrus if they could leave. Good thing that they were done with their dinner and they're only waiting for Kiana’s strawberry dip.

"I almost forgot I have a very important overseas call Cyrus, can we leave already?" Alex said as she kept glancing at the direction where Aria and Knight were. 

She was also trying her best to be subtle because she didn’t want  Cyrus to see the omega.

 She isn't sure what Aria’s relationship is with Knight Ashbourne for now so it was better and safer to leave.

"Oh, is that so? You can go ahead inside the car Alex and I'll just wait for my princess' strawberries then." Cyrus replied calmly since he didn’t know that Alex was trying to hide something from him.

"O-okay then, let's go princess. Let's wait for daddy in the car." Alex said as he took the little girl's hand and led her towards the door.

Cyrus went over the counter to inform the server that he would want the strawberry dip for take out already while Alex was still too shocked by what she saw so she wasn't able to do anything anymore when Kiana suddenly let go of her hand and ran back inside the restaurant.

"KiKi wants stwabewwy and daddy." she even screamed while running back towards her father.

Alex’s eyes widened because the moment he turned to grab the little girl again, he saw Aria almost bump into Kiana, her own daughter.

The alpha female felt like her heart was about to explode when Aria Knelt down in front of the little girl.

"Owww" Kiana blurted out the moment she lifted her gaze and found a beautiful omega looking back at her

Aria felt  like her whole body was on fire the moment she laid her eyes on the little girl whose eyes are as clear as the clearest crystal in the universe. 

The omega didn’t know why she suddenly felt like there was hand choking her when she heard the little girl dramatically gasp upon seeing her too.

"H-hi." Aria hates how she stutters in front of the little girl who was blinking in front of her.

"Are you a princess too? You have golden hair." Kiana said as she pointed out Aria’s blonde hair.

The omega suddenly feels a rush of unexplainable emotion when the little girl starts to talk to her. 

It was as if she wanted to take her home right at that moment.

"N-no... I'm not a princess, but you are. You're so pretty." Aria said that made the little girl blush. She was obviously not used to such compliments and Aria suddenly wants to track every human and wolves who failed to tell the girl that she is indeed the prettiest...maybe next to her Angel Kiana.

Then Aria noticed that the girl was also staring back at her, she smiled wider at her. "So what's your name?" She asked.

Kiana blinks again.

"My daddy calls me princess but my name is Kiki." Kiana replied before she remembered that she is not supposed to be talking to strangers too

"KIki? You have such a cute name!" Aria adores the child. She is supposed to ask where her parents are too when the little girl suddenly runs away from her only to stop again when she was a few meters away from her.

"Bye bye pretty princess. My daddy is already Looking for me!" Kiana screamed before she got lost in Aria’s view.

Aria was still frozen on her feet when Knight found her.

"Ria! Hey what happened? I followed you to check on you at the restroom but you weren't there." Knight said with a worried look on his face.

"I'm so sorry Knight. I...well, I just met a pretty little girl. Don't worry, I'm fine." Aria replied before they went back to their table with the thoughts of the little girl.

Alex Perez felt  like her soul left her body at that moment. She felt like the ghosts she tried to bury in the past really came back to life just to haunt her.

 When she saw Aria talking to Kiana, she was so sure that the omega would definitely recognize her child but the Moon seemed on her side when she remembered that she put Kiana on a scent blocker.

Her eyes snapped when she saw the child running back to her so she quickly picked her up and carried her outside.

She almost dropped her when she was startled by Cyrus’s voice.

"Alex, I was looking for you." Cyrus asked when he sensed the distress scent of the other alpha.

Alex tries her best to calm herself as she forces another of her annoyingly sweet smiles.

"You were looking for us? I mean, how did you even get here? We were waiting at the entrance." Alex asked while leading the father & daughter back to the car because she didn't know what fate had in store for her the rest of the evening.

"Oh, I took the other door. I didn't realize you were waiting. Anyway, here's your strawberry dip, my princess." Cyrus waves the box of the sweet treats in front of his pup.

"Tenchu daddy!" The little girl excitedly grabbed the box of her favorite dessert before she settled in her car seat at the back of the car.

Cyrus smiles as he watches his daughter through the rear mirror doing her tiny dance while holding the box.

When the pure blood alpha is sure that Kiana was safe on her seat already, he finally drives away from the restaurant.

It is only then when Alex finally lets go of the air she didn’t know she was holding in her chest.

"Woah, what was that for?" Cyrus asked, smirking when he noticed the other alpha's deep sigh.

"Nothing, I just---"

"Daddy! I saw pretty pwincess!" Kiana suddenly yelled in excitement upon remembering the pretty omega she met just a while ago.

Alex felt like a huge rock was about to fall in his head the moment he heard the little girl. He hates how Luna is a second away to ruining everything he has worked on for years.

"Pretty princess? like you?" Cyrus replied to his daughter not knowing that Alex who was sitting beside him was already losing her shit because of the said Princess.

"Na ah! She’s  so pwetty daddy, pwettier than barbie!" Kiana said with her eyes sparkling while describing the omega she met a while ago.

Cyrus raised an eyebrow upon hearing his pup because for Kiana, Barbie is the prettiest of all. His daughter loved the doll even when she was just a baby.

"Wow, she must be pretty then. What's her name?" Cyrus asked again but this time Alex turned at the back seat to glare at the child hoping that she could scare her.

Kiana just darted out her tongue when she saw the alpha's eyes. She might just be a baby but she is  a daughter of two pure blooded wolves so she isn't really someone who gets easily scared.

To Alex’s surprise, Kiana’s eyes turned to gold when she was trying to scare her. It was his first time she had seen the little girl's eye and her mouth hangs open when she realized that just like her Mother, Kiana is a pure blood omega.

"A  pure blood." Alex didn't even realize that she already voiced out her thoughts.

"Alex, are you okay?" Cyrus asked when the alpha's distress scent got a little stronger.

"Cyrus, Kiana...she's pure blood?" She felt like a complete idiot when she said that but she has been with the little girl for more than 3 years and yet it is only now that she realized the real rank of the baby girl who's now leaning on her seat behind them.

"Oh, I'm surprised you really thought that she would be just an ordinary omega when she was born from pure blood. She is my daughter Alex. She's a Carter and nothing is ordinary when it comes to my blood." Cyrus said before winking at his daughter through the mirror again.

Kiana seemed like she understood everything they were talking about because the girl giggled at the back at Alex's annoyance again.

"I'm sorry. I just..well you know her mo--"

"Not now Alex, you know we can't talk about her in front of Kiana." Cyrus purposely lowered his voice once he sensed that the alpha will talk about his ex wife.

Alex nods in understanding. It's actually better for her if Cyrus would forever avoid the topic. It only meant he really didn’t want to do anything with Aria Thomson nymore.

Oh how wrong she was 

The three arrive at the Carter mansion and since Alex made an excuse a while ago, she had to leave immediately too.

 She tried to get closer to the pure blood and hoped for at least a simple peck from him but Carter just walked past her while carrying his daughter who was now sleeping in her father's arms.

"Good night Alex and thank you for tonight." Cyrus said before finally walking away to tuck his daughter in her bed.

Alex had no choice but to leave. She had a lot of questions in her head too. She is very certain that it was Aria she saw at the restaurant but why was she with Knight Ashbourne?

 The two were hugging each other when she saw them so it could mean they were really close to be l that intimate in a public place.

The alpha female fished out her phone from her pocket and dialed her cousin's number. They have to devise a plan just in case Aria suddenly showed up again.

"Hello? Lex what's up?"

"Rina, we need to talk." She said before she finally drove away from the  Carter mansion.

***

Now back  in  Knight’s penthouse, Aria kept tossing and turning in bed.

"Kiki..." she uttered again as she remembered the sparkling eyes of the little pup she met. 

The girl looked like she was holding the moon and stars in her eyes while talking to her.

Everything about her was so perfect but Aria felt bad because she is certain that the little girl was wearing a scent blocker at an early age.

"But why would her parents do that? Oh..maybe she's the daughter of a very important person?" 

Aria mumbles to herself again before she pulls another pillow to hug.

She didn’t even know why she was annoyed with the person that put the girl on a scent blocker when she  didn’t even know them.

"Kiki" she uttered again and this time she felt a familiar rush of emotions in her body.

She may never admit it out loud but she knows that she is losing sleep over a random pup because she reminds her of her own pup.

Aria didn’t  even know when she started to tear up. She was surprised when she realized that her pillow was already drenched with her tears.

"Kiana my angel...i miss you so much." She mumbles one last time before exhaustion and darkness finally swallows her.
