A New Reality

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.
