Alpha’s Vow: Reclaiming his lost Luna

It's been a week since Cyrus and Dylan found Aria in her hometown. 

It's been seven long tumultuous days. They have traced where the omega lives and what she is up to because Cyrus is determined to bring his mate back to him and his pup's life.

He still wants answers. He still wants to prove that everyone else is wrong assuming that Aria left them for another alpha.

 He's doing everything in his power to locate his ex-wife, discreetly. 

He does not want his father to know that he's been searching for Kiana’s mother because he doesn't want to put Aria in danger if he is right about one thing.

"Cyrus!" Dylan suddenly barged into his office with a Manila envelope in his hand. 

"Dylan?"

"We've finally found her and you wouldn't believe it," Dylan said while settling on the leather couch inside the Assemblyman's office.

The older alpha opens the envelope and slowly takes out the documents and photographs that are taken discreetly because most of them are zoomed in and at a bad angle.

"Gems-Harmony Inc. Why would Aria…oh! Fuck!" Cyrus suddenly cussed once he realized something.

Of course, the omega was working in that agency because it was her lifelong dream. 

Gems-Harmony was easily one of the Biggest Entertainment agencies in the country and now that he's thinking about it,

"Travis Cromwell was Knight Ashbourne's classmate at University back in the day. We also found out that Ashbourne’s assistant Justin  Steele is the cousin of Cromwell’s mate. I guess it's not a coincidence that Aria is working for the company that is very capable of hiding her for years Cy. I'm sorry." Dylan says he’s disappointed with all the information they gathered because it only led them to one thing.

It looks like Aria really ran off with Knight to pursue her dream, of being a musician. 

But still, the alpha is doubtful about the whole thing because there's one thing that's not adding up.

"She left us to pursue music? But Dylan, why would she keep hiding if this was all she wanted? She doesn't even have her own name as a producer! I don't understand." 

Cyrus feels a little lost about everything.

Dylan might be right that  Aria, his ex-wife, might have left them because of this.

Now that Cyrus is trying to decipher the big picture, the possibility that Aria really chose to break their family to be with Knight so she could continue to pursue her dreams.

"But what about the mark?" Cyrus didn't realize that he said that out loud.

 Dylan turned to his cousin and saw how stressed Cyrus was about the whole thing.

"Cy, I'm sure we're missing something here. Just give me more time and we'll figure this out. Remember, you have a gala to attend tonight and you promised Kiana you'll take her with you this time." Dylan said, trying to divert Cyrus's attention from Aria at least for a while.

Cyrus sighed. 

He hates it whenever he feels like he can’t do anything about something he really wants but he knows his cousin is right.

 He needs to pull himself together more than ever if he wants to keep his family safe.

"Thank you, Dylan, I don't know what I'll do without you." The pure-blood alpha forces himself to smile at his cousin to convince him that he still has his shit together even when the truth is, he's already breaking apart piece by piece every new information they obtain about his mate.

The truth is, he is very eager to get Aria back, and he's willing to offer everything that he has just to have her back in his and Kiana’s life but at the same time, he's also so scared because he feels like the closer he gets to the omega, the closer he'll know the truth about what actually happened three years ago. 

And he might not admit it out loud, but Cyrus is so scared to know the truth.  He knows it will change everything in his life again whether Aria was really forced to leave or if his mate just wanted to get rid of him.

"Just go home, Cy. Please don't let Alex dress my little princess again." Dylan scoffs while putting back the pictures inside the envelope.

"Come on Dylan, what did Alex ever do to you? Let her be. You are constantly throwing snarky comments  when all she has ever done is to be with me and Kiana all these years." Cyrus said it because he felt bad for his friend.

 Dylan just rolls his eyes as if he's boring him.

"The girl is too sweet for her own good Cy. Also, you're right..she's been by your side all those years even after you refused to fuck her, it smells fishy to me."

Cyrus's hand froze mid-air upon hearing his cousin. 

He knows Dylan didn’t mean to offend him but he doesn't like the way he uses his words when it comes to Alex who's always available for Kiana and himself.

"Dylan, please just leave Alex alone. You don't have to like her but please at least treat her with civility for Kiana’s sake ?" Cyrus pleads because he doesn't want any drama between his cousin and close friend.

"I'm not saying I hate her Cy, just be careful around that girl, yeah?" Dylan insisted before he left the younger's office.

Cyrus just clicks his tongue in disappointment because he knows Dylan would never like Alex.

 He sighs as he reaches for the envelope again.

Dylan left it in his office because he knew his cousin would check them again and he was right because the moment Cyrus was finally alone in his office again, he took out one of Aria's pictures.

He knows it's illegal to stalk someone but who cares if that someone is the other mother of his child?

The pure-blood alpha sighed as he grazed his finger over the photo of the beautiful omega. It was taken inside a cafe and Aria might be alone in the photo but Cyrus knows she was with Knight during that time because he read the note at the back of the picture.

[8.30 PM, Sweets Cafe with Ashbourne]

"Do you drink coffee now? Why are you inside a cafe Ria? Do you still love those strawberry souffles?" Cyrus almost teared up while asking those questions when he knew that the photograph in his hand would never give the answers even to the most basic questions
