The next morning, the Prime Minister wasn't able to go back to the hospital but that doesn't stop his wife from packing a whole feast of food and went alone to visit their children 

She is too excited to finally feed Cyrus the food that she cooked by herself.

The pure blood omega is smiling from ear to ear when he enters the hospital but her smile slowly fades when she discovers that Cyrus’s suite is empty.

"W-where is my son?!" the older woman asked to the security guard standing outside the suite.

"Ma'am that's why I was trying to stop you a while ago to tell you that Mr. Carter and his mate are not here but you ignored me and---"

"Where are they then if they're not here? They're not supposed to go home yet and he would probably call me if they did!" Iris snapped at the security guard  because to be honest, even when she knows that there's no threat to Cyrus’s life anymore, she can't stop being anxious. They just got their youngest son back and she has no plan of losing him again.

"The nurse from Mr Knight came to inform them that sir is finally awake ma'am." the guard replied with a smile.

Iris didn't even thank the young alpha she sprinted towards her eldest son's suite. She didn't even knock on the door as she entered Knight’s room.

"Kni---" her mouth hangs open with the scene inside the suite.

Knight was already awake and still lying in his bed. Aria is sitting beside him  while Cyrus is standing behind his mate. Kiana is busy eating fruits on the sofa with her nanny. There was no unusual sight inside the suite until Iris spotted the silver necklace in Cyrus’s hand while glaring at his brother.

"Knight... C..Cyrus?" Iris spoke trying to break the tension between the brothers but neither of the two paid her attention. They just continued to stare at each other as if they were measuring each other's strength by who could knit their eyebrows closer at the center of their foreheads.

Aria sighs when she sees how the brothers ignored their mother. She decides to purposely fake coughs to break the silence in the room and thankfully, she succeeded.

"You're coughing again? You can't go near Kiana if you are coughing Angel. You'll---"

"Angel? Who do you think you are calling Angel?" Cyrus cuts in 

Knight raised his eyebrow at the younger. He already knows that Cyrus knows about their family because Ari was here when he first woke up a few hours ago. The omega has already filled him in about the things he missed including the death of the people who tried to ruin their lives. He is aware that Cyrus already knows that they're brothers so he won't waste the chance he gets to annoy the younger  because that's what older brothers do right?

"Ashbourne? aren't you gonna call me big brother now? Besides, what's wrong if I call Aria my angel? She---"

"I swear to Luna if you call her that again, I'll make sure to rip those wounds open." Cyrus snaps.

He doesn't want to admit it, but hearing his older brother's healthier voice makes him happy on the inside. He may never admit it out loud but he got worried when he saw the state of the older pure blood before his surgery.

"Call me Big brother first."

"NO."

"Why not?"

"Oh Luna , can you stop! You're annoying!"

"But you're also and Aria will always be my angel!"

"Stop it!" Cyrus' voice got a little louder but when he saw the fond smile on Knight’s face, he got more flustered. He hates how his wolf wants to nuzzle the older pure blood right there and then.

"She’s  my angel because she guided  my little brother back to me, to us. Welcome back Zayden, or shall I get used to calling you Rus too?”

Everyone in the room fell into silence, but this time it's not awkward or tension filled silence. 

Cyrus and Knight stared at each other, their faces softened, their wolves howling in excitement. The two are smiling at each other already when Kiana screams, breaking the eye contact between the two.

"Uncle Knight why you're making daddy cwy?" The little girl is pouting while trying to get down from the sofa.

"Hey Princess, uncle isn't making daddy cry. I'm just very happy baby. Remember when I told you that sometimes people cry because of joy? This is tears of joy." Cyrus explained to his daughter whose eyes are now looking at Knight too as if she's making sure her daddy's telling her the truth.

"Uncle Deedee said, uncle Knight is now Kiki’s uncle.  So daddy don't fight with him, okay?" the little girl said with a smile on her face that made everyone in the room smile at her too.

It's lunch time and Aria  expected Cyrus to join them and enjoy the food brought by his mother but to her surprise, she saw her mate staring at the window as if  in deep thoughts.

Iris nods at her as if she also senses that something is bothering her youngest son Aria grabs a drink and walks towards her mate.

"Rus...aren't you going to eat? Auntie prepared the food herself." Aria says with a smile because she wants to comfort her mate.

Cyrus doesn't want his mate nor his mother to worry about him so he forces himself to eat and pretends to enjoy every moment of it.

By the time they were  all done eating and Iris had to leave to get Knight’s things, Felicia  took Kiana back to their own suite so she could also pack their things.

  Aria knows Knight and Cyrus needed some alone time so she excuses herself and joins Felicia and Kiana back in their suite.

The moment Aria left the room, Cyrus turned to his brother.

"How long have you known?" he asked, a little unsure of the things he wanted to know.

"The day I got shot. I saw the portrait and got an inkling that you're Zayden but I doubted myself because how could you be my brother when Julius is so proud to have you as his son? Then that bastard...I'm sorry..." Knight corrected himself but Cyrus brushed it off, his eyes still full of pain at the mention of the man who almost ruined his life, his family.

" He isn't my father. He was never a father to me."

"I'm sorry."

"Stop apologizing. It's not your fault I got lost when I was a kid."

Knight got quiet. Of course Cyrus won't remember anything anymore because he was so young when it happened but he knows his brother deserves to know the truth.

"I wish I could say it wasn't my fault but it was my fault. I was the one who put you in that boat. I was also young, just a few years older than you but I should have known that it's dangerous. I didn't know the boat wasn't tied to the deck properly. I just wanted to play that day. I was so happy that I've finally got myself a little brother, my playmate and yet...." Knight couldn't stop himself from crying. He started to feel the pain in his chest again so Cyrus had pressed the button alarming the nurses from the station.

"Stop blaming yourself, we're both clueless back then." Cyrus said while trying to sooth his brother. The two didn't even realize that they're holding each other's hand when the nurses arrived and gave Knight another shot that will put him to sleep so his body can finally recover.

"Thank you Cyrus. I'll stop blaming myself when you finally stop feeling sorry for all the things Julius did. He's not your father so you don't have to carry the burden and guilt of his crime. You are my brother and I won't let the ghost of that old man haunt you and stop you from being finally happy with your family." Knight murmurs his medication starting to take an effect.

"Thank you brother. Thank you." he whispered to him before he fished out his phone from his pocket.

"Dylan." 

"Cyrus ."

The Prime Minister was informed that his youngest son and his family would be discharged. And since he was still busy with his duties as public servant, he just made sure that the family was well secured until they arrived at their home.

Cyrus did not want to give Aria a reason to be anxious, he chose to take his family back to their original home not Carter’s mansion, not to his penthouse where Knight was almost killed but the home he built for Aria three years ago.

Felicia knows the story of the house and she was very delighted when Cyrus  informed her about his plans. Aria could not  help but blush when Cyrus asked her to stay with them. She refused at first since they hadn’t talked about their status yet but Cyrus of course used the Kiana card.

    Aria only said yes and only agreed to go with Cyrus to their old love nest for the sake of their daughter, and not because she couldn't get Cyrus out of her head.

   They all settled into their old room immediately and Aria, who only agreed to be there because of Kiana, announced that she would stay with her pup. 

   Cyrus quickly carried his pup's crib into the master's bedroom and suggested Aria to just stay in their bed while he takes the couch.

Felicia who was just the silent observer  couldn’t help but smile. 

   She knows that Kiana's parents have a lot of issues to be discussed first but she's excited to see the two rekindling their old flame again.

It was almost sunset when the little family finally settled everything. Kiana is already sleeping in her crib. Aria was about to prepare dinner when she noticed Cyrus staring at her.

"Is there something else you want to tell me?" She asked but the alpha shook his head before he walked closer towards her.

"Why don't we just order food for dinner since we only have canned food here?" Cyrus suggested. 

Aria immediately agreed to it since she is not in the mood for preparing dinner at the moment.

They all ate dinner in silence the moment their food arrived. Aria pretended she didn’t notice Cyrus’s behavior  throughout dinner but when Felicia took Kiana back to the bedroom, the omega finally snapped at her mate.

"Cyrus" "Ria?"

"What's wrong? What are you trying to hide from me? And please don't even try to lie to me because ever since I left you in Knight’s room, you kept zoning out." Aria said, worries are all over her voice.

Cyrus sighs. Of course Aria would sense it too. He already expected that his mate would surely notice it too but how else could he hide it from her when he is also freaking out about all the information his cousin told him 

His mate, isn't just a pure blood omega, Kiana’s omega parent is the last and only heir of the Von-Dorn....the chosen clan of the Moon.

"Cyrus! See?! You are zoning out again! What are you trying to hide from me?"

"Ria... baby can I go see Dylan now?" Cyrus ignored his mate's question and asked her permission to go out because he feels like his head is about to explode with all the information he has discovered since the previous day.

"As in now? It's past 9PM already...but..uhm, sure Cyrus. J-just take care please." Aria replied when in truth she didn’t  want her mate to leave.

Cyrus senses his mate's hesitation but he feels like he also needs to do this. He wants to confirm the truth and he wants to see Dylan so that the older could verify it for him too.

The pure blood alpha didn't even bother to change his clothes. He just grabs his car keys and leans closer to Aria leaving a light peck on her forehead.

He was already by the door and ready to leave when he turned around. He knows tonight is the night that everything will change in their lives.

"Do you... Ria, why don't you come with me?" Cyrus asked with hopeful eyes.

"But how about Kiana and---"

"They'll be safe. I have my most loyal men guarding them and Tae...no one's going to hurt us again...ever." Cyrus replied.

Aria kept quiet the whole ride until they arrived at the familiar place she last visited three years ago.

"Cyrus, why are we here? what are we doing here?" Aria asked with wide eyes. 

The place was not too dark since there were street lights illuminating them. The moon was also shining brightly above them so it's not really creepy and the fact that Aria really hates the place because it is where she thought her daughter was buried three years ago.

Cyrus didn't answer. He just quietly gets out of the car and opens the door for his mate. The two are silently walking towards the familiar tomb and when they are close enough, Aria finally notices the two men standing beside the tomb.

"Harris?" Aria blurted out when she recognized the other man beside Dylan who's also staring back at her.

"Ri,I'm so glad you're okay!" Harris replied before pulling her  into a tight hug. Cyrus was about to pull back his mate but then Dylan’s hand was already on him. His cousin gave him a look that reminded him that he has nothing to get jealous about because Harris Williams is Aria’s  long lost family.

"But why are you here? I mean, what are you doing here? You never showed up for months and I didn't expect to meet you here of all places?" Aria muttered when she pulled away from the older.

Harris gave his oblivious cousin another pat on the shoulder before he spoke.

"I'm sorry Aria. I was so busy in the past months but I guess there's no better time for us to see each other again, But I'm glad you're back with your mate now." Harris said with a smile.

Both Aria  and Cyrus started to blush when they heard the elder's words because they haven't settled anything between them still. Aria then to Cyrus. They already know the truth behind the pure blood alpha's real identity and it's only now that it's dawning on Aria that they're here for Cyrus to get his closure too.

Dylan took a deep breath before he also spoke for the first time. He knows a lot of things will change now but he believes that the Moon would have not created all the chaos if it won't put them back in order in the end. After talking to Cyrus over the phone a while ago, everything is clearer to the alpha. Neither of the fated mates is his cousin because the real Cyrus Carter is the one 6ft underground now. 

The alpha sighs. He knows that after this evening, Cyrus would finally set things straight and he won't be his cousin anymore. They might remain as colleagues or maybe friends but he's sure that Cyrus would want to spend more time with his real brother.

"Thank you for coming here tonight. I also just want to pay respect to him...to the real Cyrus." Dylan says when  he finally mustered up enough courage in front of the assemblyman who became his cousin for years.

"Dylan..." Cyrus breathed when he saw Dylan’s teary eyes. He knows that it's the first time his cousin finally acknowledges the truth that he isn't the real Cyrus and it also hurts him to see his brother look so sad.

"You know that we may not be real cousins by blood but you're always a family to me right?" the alpha uttered to reassure the older alpha who finally lifted his gaze to look at him.

 "I understand if you wanna go back to your family and--"

"Oh come on Dylan! Nothing would change. Maybe I'll just have to fix my last name because I don't think the Prime Minister...I mean my father would want me to continue to use this name.to the world starting the next few days I may be Ashbone but I will always be Carter for you." Cyrus  said with a small smile.

Dylan had  to bite his lower lips to stop himself from crying but when he saw Aria who was already in tears, he couldn't help but pull the younger into a tight hug.

"Of course Cy, you're always Cyrus to me." Dylan whispered to his ears.

The cousins were still hugging each other when Aria voiced out the question in her mind.

"Dylan, but who is buried here?" She asked.

Dylan let go of Cyrus before he took out the silver name plate from the bag on top of the tomb and carefully placed it at the center top.

CYRUS CARTER

"No longer by our sides, but forever in our hearts."

Aria gasps upon seeing his mate's name engraved in the silver name plate. She knows it is not her pure blood alpha mate's name now but still it gives her goosebumps seeing that.

"Oh...I'm sorry about him. But how did he even die?" Aria asked again but this time she immediately felt the tension that suddenly appeared among the three other wolves around her.

Dylan was about to speak when four black cars entered the private cemetery.

Cyrus is very quick in pulling Aria behind him, making sure that the omega is safe from whoever came uninvited.

Dylan was about to call their security to make sure Cyrus was safe when Harris stopped him.

"It's him." Harris said with a firm voice. Cyrus and Dylan immediately visibly relaxed upon hearing those two words but Aria remained vigilant. She is even more confused when Cyrus takes her hand as they all welcome the newcomers.

The headlights of the vehicles are all focused on them so it forces Aria to hide her face.

Dylan, Harris and Cyrus seemed calm until the man with a very intimidating aura came out of one of the cars. Aria’s eyes widened the moment she finally recognized the alpha whose eyes were already focused on her.

"Mr. President?!" Aria blurts out the moment he met the powerful gaze.

Yoongi and Jungkook bows a little to show respect to the most powerful man in the country but Taehyung remains standing while staring at him.

 He couldn't understand why his wolf feels giddy when he saw the man staring at him but it reminds him his wolf's initial reaction when he first met Hoseok too. He took that as a good sign so instead of hiding behind Jungkook, he smiled at the pure blood alpha.

"Good evening Mr. President." Aria greeted him.

"Your photographs don’t do justice to your beautiful eyes. You really grew up beautifully just like her." Raphael said while staring at his niece.

Aria suddenly felt the air become colder. She doesn't know what the president is talking about, hell she doesn't even know if  everything that is going on is real until Cyrus softly squeezes her hand.

"Aria, breathe baby." Cyrus says and it is only then that Aria realized that she was holding her breath.

The omega looks at her mate and when she sure that he won't let go of her hands, she turns to the president.

"Sir I guess you might have mistaken me from someone else because I'm not sure who you're talking about." Aria tried to correct the older man but Raphael just shook his head off as he slowly approached them.

"You were so little when we last saw you and I am so sorry Aria for introducing myself to you like this. I'm Raphael Lancaster and that boy inside that tomb is the boy who died in the fire together with Desmond and Kira Von Dorn- Thomson ." the president said with sad eyes upon remembering the tragic death of his sister and brother-in-law.

Aria’s eyes widened as she heard the familiar name of her parents. She couldn't even remember who told her that since he grew up as an orphan. 

The only thing she could remember was that an older woman once told her when she was a child that her parent's names are Desmond and Kira Von Dorn- Thomson and that she is Aria Thomson.

"H-how did you know my parents?" Aria asked, her eyes already shining with tears.

Cyrus’s hand immediately wraps around his mate's waist the moment he feels the rush of emotion taking over the omega.

"Your parents were there when my cousin Cyrus died, Aria." Dylan replied to her instead.

Aria got more confused. Her eyes are now on Cyrus as if her mate is the only one who could tell her what was going on.

"Ria baby....Cyrus died with your parents in the fire. Everyone in the world believed it was you who died in the fire too but fortunately someone managed to take you out of the building that day. Your parents Aria… they didn't just die in their workplace. I'm sorry baby but they were killed by the same person who took my chance to be with my family. Cyrus...that child paid for his father's sins. You are the missing child of Desmond and Kira Von Dorn- Thomson baby. You are the president's Niece, the only remaining heir of the Von Dorn."

You can never hide from the Sun, the Moon and the truth.

That very moment, Aria knew the people in front of her were telling him the truth. Harris and Dylan quietly watched the President taking a slow step towards Aria while Cyrus gently squeezed the cold hands of his mate to assure her that he was there right beside her and whatever she decides to do, he'll be there to support her.

"Aria, it's nice to finally have you back,child." the President  uttered as he opened his arms for the omega.

 Raphael had practiced this moment over and over and over in his head but the moment he saw Aria’s deep blue eyes brimming with tears, he just couldn't help but start to tear up too.

"If I am your sister's.....does it mean you are my u-uncle?" Aria finally opens her mouth, her hands gripping her mate's hand because she feels like she's about to pass out when she realized that the most powerful man in their country who's standing in front of her with his arms wide open is  her very own flesh and blood.

If she understood correctly ,the president is her mom's only brother and that only means he's the president's niece.

"Yes Aria, I'm your uncle and you are my niece. I am glad to have you back and that is if it's okay with you?" He hesitated for a while because he saw the tears on Aria’s eyes.

Even Harris didn't expect when Aria suddenly let go of her mate's hand so she could run towards her uncle. She throws herself at the older before burying her face into the crook of his neck.

"I have a family...I...I'm not alone." Aria cried on her uncle's shoulder.
