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.

2 WEEKS LATER

Two weeks Ian! IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS and I can’t even----"

"Fuck her?" Dylan cuts his cousin off.

They might be not related by blood but they both agreed that nothing would change between them.

They will still be partners, well not really in crime but I know you got the point.

"What the fuck?! No, that's not what ---"

"You don't wanna fuck her?"

"Of course I---hey! That's not the point! I mean, how do I tell her?" Cyrus says currently pulling his hair in his office.

It was just past lunch but his mind is already out of his office wondering what Aria and Kiana are doing now. He knows they're in Knight’s penthouse because Aria is yet to move out from his brother's place because they have all been busy organizing everything and just to make sure that the omega and their pup are both safe, Knight suggested that they could temporarily stay in his place because the whole area is tightly secured.

At first Cyrus refused the idea of course. He wanted to take Aria and Kiana back to their home but Aria was quick to agree to his older brother's suggestion. He sulked for days and Aria seemed firm on her choice so he just decided to wait.

Now it's been two weeks. two weeks of sleeping alone at their home.

He doesn't wanna go back to the mansion anymore and his broker already put his own penthouse on sale because he definitely doesn't want that place again, not after he almost lost his brother there.

Dylan wants to laugh at the pure blood alpha's state. He has never seen Cyrus as desperate as he is now aside from that night three years ago when Aria left.

He wants to laugh at him because three years ago, Cyrus was desperate to find Aria and now he's desperate because of the same person but obviously for a different reason.

"How did you confess to her before---oh, that's right, you didn't confess to her. you both just switched your eyes and just like that you jumped on each other, the next thing we knew you're mated! Why don't you do it again? You know...jump he---" Dylan wasn't able to finish his sentence because black cushion landed on his face.

"Hey! That's very unbecoming Mr. Future Prime Minister!" Dylan snickered at the younger who just aimed to throw the other pillow at him again.

"Dylan, can you not... I haven't agreed to the Prime Minis---I mean, I didn't accept the offer from dad yet and you know that. Plus, please....don't even add that to my plate right now because I feel like it's going to be overwhelming, what should I do?" Cyrus asked again, this time he wasn't able to stop himself when he walked towards his mini fridge and grab milk.

"You know, you'll look way hotter if you grab a glass and maybe a bottle of your whisky instead of that." Dylan teases him.

Cyrus closes his eyes as he sips at his favorite drink. This time, Dylan can't help but smile while watching the younger. He couldn't believe that in a span of a few months, Cyrus’s life made a whole 360. From his unsure career as a politician to his missing mate and the truth of his own identity.

To say that it was a roller coaster ride is an understatement if you'll ask Dylan because what Cyrus had in the past years was a total spaceship ride that landed on the moon only to be thrown back to the Earth again.

It was chaotic, scary and literally bloody because of the number of lives that went into waste just because of greed.

Dylan still feels sorry for Cyrus and Aria because he knows that the two are both victims of Julius’s evil heart.

He knows that the old man is probably rotting 6 feet under the ground but he can’t forgive him for letting his aunt, his own wife die when he could've taken her to the hospital when she had the heart attack that killed her.

Dylan sighs, and this time it's Cyrus’s turn to look at him with questioning eyes.

"Last time I checked, I was the one ranting because I couldn't figure out how to tell my mate who thought we aren't married anymore that we are still very much married." Cyrus blurted out.

He winces when he remembers Aria’s face 2 weeks ago when he took them back to Knight’s penthouse.

2 Weeks Ago

"Since Aria doesn't want to stay with the President, he has informed the family lawyer to prepare her own space but for now Aria wishes to stay at Knight’s place since she feels at home there. Would that be fine with you?--- wait, what should I call you?” Harris asked Cyrus who's looking back at him as if he doesn't know what to reply.

The truth is, Cyrus doesn't mind what name they all want to call him. He knows his parents already started to fix his legal documents the moment they both got his consent about it but as of the moment, his head is focused on what Harris just informed him.

He couldn't believe that his mate, his Aria , isn't going back home with him because the omega chose to go back to Knight’s place.

"Cy, I guess you can call him Cy for now." Dylan was fast to catch on since he knew exactly what Cyrus was thinking.

"Oh, alright then Cy. I know you're aware that Aria is being possessive of your pup too so I also wanted to remind you that she would surely ask you to take Kiana with her the moment you got out of the hospital. Would you be okay with that?" Harris asked with hesitation because he could see the veins almost popping on Cyrus’s temple.

He was so surprised when he heard the younger pure blood alpha's calm voice when he spoke for the first time.

"Of course, it's fine with me. Why wouldn't I be okay with that? If that would make my mate and our pup more comfortable then I'll let him stay in another pure blood alpha's den even when she could've just come home with me. Yes, I am very okay with that." Cyrus said that almost made the two alphas in front of him laugh out loud.

Harris was just about to ask him again when Aria finally got out of the room, this time she is carrying their pup who seems to be so familiar with her omega mother.

"We're ready to go home!" Aria breaks the silence when no one among the wolves greeted them.

It was only then when Dylan forced himself to smile before he ordered their security to get all the things from Felicia who's standing behind Aria and Kiana.

"Alright then Riri, Cyrus will take you to Knight’s home and I'll go with Dylan since I didn't drive today." Harris informed his cousin who just nodded at him in agreement.

The ride going to Knight’s penthouse is silent and uneventful minus the happy sound Kiana was creating whenever she sees colorful cars on the street.

Aria was so Focused on her pup that she didn't even notice the pure blood alpha sulking in the driver's seat.

It was only when they were finally inside the penthouse that Cyrus finally mustered his courage to speak to Aria.

The pure blood alpha asked Harris and Dylan to leave earlier so he could speak with his mate so the two older alphas left as he requested since they're also rooting for them.

Even Felicia immediately took Kiana inside Aria’s room with the excuse of cleaning her up so the fated mates could finally talk.

The thing is, as much as Cyrus wants to talk to the Omega, Aria feels the opposite way.

Aria wanted nothing but to get away from Cyrus because the truth is, her wolf is being a bitch to her.

The wolf inside her wants nothing but to submit to her alpha and Aria is so worried that she'll end up throwing himself at the alpha when they haven't talked about their current status yet.

"Ria..can we---"

"Cyrus, aren't you going home? I heard you have a meeting with Alex’s father?" Aria cuts her alpha off because she’s still so nervous to be around Cyrus alone.

The pure blood alpha wanted to tell his mate that he doesn't wanna go anywhere until they're done talking but he also noticed that Aria is wearing her scent blockers and so he took that as a hint that the Omega isn't ready for him yet.

"Y-yeah I'm actually going now. We have to settle everything with them. I will also visit Rina’s mom at the hospital later. Uhmmm...but Aria can we---"

"Oh, that's right, please tell her I'm going to visit her soon. Also, thank you Cyrus for doing this to her. I hope everything goes well ." Aria says before she went ahead to open the door for the pure blood alpha.
