Louisa
Well, Jace agreed to drive me out of the Alpha's lodge and have a decent talk with me. Truth be told, I had nothing to discuss with him but most importantly, I was out of the Alpha's lodge. “Where are we going?” I asked. “Did you know my brother sent me a text message a few seconds before you called?” He asked, while his focus remained on the staring. “I don't understand.” My heart was beating fast but I had to keep myself in order. Without looking at me, he picked up his phone beside the gear and extended it to me. “Password is; Louisa broke my heart, no caps,” he said. “Isn't that….” I wasn't even bothered about his broken heart, it felt like not remembering stripped off whatever feelings I must have had for him. “Type it. My brother's message should still be lying on the screen there.” I shook my head and typed the sentence. Boom! The phone unlocked and Alpha's Scott's message was still on the screen. In that instance, my heart skipped a bit. “Go on, read it out.” I tossed back the phone to him, not knowing what to say. Apparently, Alpha Scott had asked him to keep an eye on me and never let me leave. I thought I had escaped him, that I could finally start afresh but I was wrong. “So where exactly are we going?” That was the first time he looked at me ever since he ignited the engine. But his stare made me realise I was never going to escape. Fear crept in; I did not know what to tell Alpha Scott when I met him again. Jace sped up and continued driving. My feet were trembling beneath me. I had to do something, I had to get out immediately. “Stop the car!” I demanded but he ignored me. “Jace, Stop the damn car!” “You and I need to talk, You've been acting so strange, and I need to find out why.” “And what happens after that? Huh” I asked. “What happens after we talk?” “I take you back to the Alpha's lodge” he paused. “Look I don't know what exactly is going on…. But..” I didn't let him finish, I reached for the wheel immediately. He tightened his grip on it while I tried yanking it to the side. “Are you out of your gorgeous mind?” No matter what happens, I'm never going back there. I reached for the gear and moved it. The tires screeched and my body was thrown against the door. He wrestled for control but before we both knew it, my head slammed against the window as the car veered off the road. In that instance, it hit a tree and the glasses shattered. For a moment, all I heard were the splashing sounds of the glasses, my vision was suddenly getting blurry. “Louisa!” He called out, reaching out to me. I blinked, trying to focus. He was also hurt but I heard him fumbling with his seatbelt. I felt the heat of his palm against my face as he tried to shake me awake. "Stay with me," he said, “Come on! Open your eyes!" I wanted to, I really did but I couldn't. Everything slowly faded to black. ****** I opened my eyes and found myself lying on a hospital bed, sunlight filtering through the closed blinds. I swallowed hard, trying to push past the grogginess. My fingers twitched against the blanket as I attempted to sit up. I glanced around, I was utterly alone. The door suddenly creaked open, and a middle-aged man in a white coat stepped inside. His greying hair was neatly combed. “You're finally awake,” he said with a smile. “Where… geographically?” My voice came out hoarse. “You’re at Silvermoon General Hospital,” he answered. “You took a nasty hit, but the good news is, you and your baby are both fine.” I froze. My what? I blinked at him, my mind struggling to process the words. “My… baby?” My voice was barely above a whisper. “You didn’t know?” he asked, furrowing his brows. My eyes remained widened as my heart began beating faster. “Well, you’re about five weeks now,” he said, lifting his brows in understanding. “ My fingers trembled as I pressed a hand to my stomach. I couldn't even remember who got me pregnant. Cassandra mentioned I was intimate with Alpha Scott, but Jace also mentioned we were dating. “Did anyone bring me here?” I had to ask. “Yes, Jace, Alpha Scott's brother.” “Did you tell him?” “I…I haven't. I mean I assumed he knew.” I took a deep breath, feeling relieved a bit. “Please don't tell him.” He nodded and exited the room, closing the door behind him, I let my head fall back against the pillow. My fingers curled into the sheets, my chest rising and falling in uneven breaths. Ok, I broke up with Jace weeks ago, perhaps because I found out I was pregnant for Alpha Scott. Damn it! I ran my hands through my hair. But I also called Jace six days ago after not being in contact with him in weeks. Perhaps the child belonged to Jace and I finally wanted to tell him the truth. At that moment, the door creaked open and my eyes widened in disbelief. Alpha Scott walked in with rage in his eyes. I should have known that Jace would waste no time in telling him everything.Louisa/Agnes“What the hell are you still doing in there, Jace?” Scott's voice echoed from the other room.Jace hesitated by the bed, still staring down at my original body like it had whispered his name and he was feeling a connection. His fingers hovered above my cheek, trembling slightly before they finally made contact.His lips parted. “This feels so strange.”He lingered for a moment longer, then drew back like he’d touched fire. His expression cracked for just a second, but then he straightened and backed away, his jaw tightening. He left without another word.I remained frozen, my breath shallow as the incidents of my death started to fill my head. I remembered Kaleb’s hand in mine, the deceitful smile he wore as he pressed his forehead to mine, whispering the promise of eternity, then piercing a dagger through my heart.I remembered everything and now, I was certain that Alpha Kaleb was the same as Jace, reborn.I clenched my fists, invisible still. I would be a fool to forgi
Louisa/Agnes The air outside was still alive with chaos. Gunfire cracked like whip lashes, echoing through the war and the scent of ash and blood clung to the wind. I followed behind Kane as he moved, fast but cautious, his posture stiff like someone walking beside a ticking bomb.The moment we emerged from the shadows, a group of armed men turned their rifles toward me.Idiots.Before their fingers could squeeze the triggers, I raised my hand, my eyes burning hot. With a snap of my wrist, an invisible force yanked the guns from their hands. They screamed as the weapons flew through the air. From the corner of my eyes, I saw how surprised Kane seemed. One of them charged anyway. I didn't flinch, I flicked two fingers in his direction. His feet left the ground as if the earth had rejected him, and his body slammed into the hood of a car with a metallic bang, rolling off in a heap.Kane glanced back, eyes wide. “Those were my men!”“And yet they tried to kill me,” I said, flipping a st
Louisa/AgnesI hated this.Every nerve in my body screamed as I sat in the backseat, the door shut and locked like a prison. Gunfire raged outside, sharp cracks of rifles and the thunder of explosions shaking the very frame of the SUV. The air inside felt suffocating, like it was closing in around me. Each scream, each shout, felt like a dagger in my chest. I couldn’t just sit here. Not when I had my own mission. Not when I had power surging beneath my skin.My fingers wrapped around the handle, slick with sweat, and I yanked it hard. The door opened.I froze as my heart skipped a beat, seeing Kane standing before me. His tall frame blocked the light behind him, his eyes roamed me.I began to wonder if he already knew my real identity, if perhaps Celine or Priscilla told him something. He must be working for either of them for him to want to destroy Scott.“Well, well,” Kane murmured, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “Now what do I do with you?”That was when I realized that he wasn
ScottWe rode in silence.The rhythmic thrum of the tires and the occasional rumble of engines were the only sounds that accompanied us as we cut through the packside. Trees blurred past the windows, casting flickers of shadow and light across our convoy.Regardless, I couldn’t stop looking at the rearview mirror, not at the road, but at them. Louisa was tucked into Jace’s arms in the backseat of the lead SUV, her head resting quietly against his chest. His hand cradled her protectively, fingers brushing her arm with the kind of tenderness that made my insides twist. I clenched the wheel tighter, jaw locked. Every second she leaned into him was another second I hated myself for ever pushing her away.She should’ve been in my arms. It should’ve been me. But I said nothing. I endured. I had to.We drove for hours until the terrain began to change, trees thickening, the air growing cooler as we approached Leatherhead territory. I could smell the edge of their borders before I saw them.T
ScottMy fists still pulsed from the blow. My blood was hot, burning under my skin, my breathing a ragged rhythm in the tense air. Jace stood there, stunned and swaying slightly, one hand clutching his bruised jaw, his eyes filled with disbelief.I could feel the fury simmering behind my own eyes, but I forced it down. I turned my back on him for a moment, hands braced against the edge of the table as I tried to calm the thundering beat of my heart. “We don’t have time for this, Jace,” I said, my voice low but hard. “Thomas is dead.”That snapped him back to reality.“What?” he breathed.I turned to him slowly. “Yeah. Found him cold on the floor, no pulse. Someone killed him, my guess is a witch.”He straightened, his anger shoved to the side by shock. “How? Why would a witch want him dead? I thought he was friends with the witches or something.”I shook my head, jaw clenched. “We’ll worry about that after we get our mother back.”“But….”I stepped forward, cutting him off. “Not now,
Scott Hours later, Jace and I got back home to the alpha's lodge. My boots hit the marble floor with thunderous steps, my jaw clenched so tight it ached. Jace followed right behind me.The moment I opened the door to the sitting room, I stormed into Louisa, dressed up and about to leave.“Where are you going?” Jace asked, rushing to her. He almost pushed me when he was trying to walk past me in the front door.She froze. Slowly, her eyes widened briefly before they narrowed, guarded and unreadable.“I had a bad omen that something was wrong with Scott,” she said, voice calm but low.My heart leaped, realising she felt my pains just like I felt hers the other time.He stepped forward. “What do you mean by bad omen? How did you know?”That was a ridiculous question to ask though. I am her fated mate.There was a pause. Louisa glanced at me, “My wolf,” she said finally, with quiet reluctance. “She felt it.”Jace stiffened, brows shooting up in confusion, then turned to me, lips parting
