MY SECRET MATE: LOST MEMORIES.ย ย ย CHAPTER 141
JASMINEโS POVI slammed my fists against the door, frustration bubbling in my chest. There had to be another way, but I couldnโt see anything in the dim glow of my wolf vision. The rusted gems from the statue were the keyโI was sure of itโbut going back for them meant wasting time.Caine didnโt have time. And I could feel something in my guts. Something about the whole situation didnโt sit right. My wolf stirred restlessly in my head as I ran my hands around the steel door, searching for somethingโanything. Still, I found nothing. โDamn it,โ I cursed under my breath, giving the door one last kick before turning back the way I came.I raced up the narrow stairway, my footsteps silent against the old stone floor. The moment I climbed out through the stairs, I hurried back to the statue, checking the tray and around the floor to see if there were remnants of the gem in them. All empty. All roads lead back to the main entrance. I had to make it through. Not just making it through, but

JASMINES POVA sharp ache shot through my head, stirring me awake. I groaned as I forced my eyes open. They felt heavy, protesting against my will to open them. My entire body was cold, and I could feel my skin resting on cold metal that sent a shiver coursing through me. I blinked against the bright white light, forcing my eyes open finally. The first thing that hit my nose was the strong metallic scent of blood, mixed with something elseโchemical perhaps. I could hear the echoes of distant voices before they dropped. Then, everything rushed back in a blur. The memories of what happenedโwas it a few minutes ago? There was no way to know what time it was as everywhere was dark except the white light flickering at the center of the room. My body stilled for a moment, then I made a move. A sting pierced through my legs, sending a jolt of pain running up my spine. I winced and lowered my head to see what it was. My legs were chained. Likewise my handsโwere strapped to the metallic

JASMINES POVI took a deep breath in, lifting my face from the position it had dropped to after the energy surged through me. I expected it to have been strong enough to burst me out of the straps, but I guess it did what it could doโthrowing her across the room. โWhat have you done!โ Bryan yelled, taking quick strides across the room. His fingers wrapped around my neck, squeezing it with every strength he had in him. โWhat did you do to her?โ โYou shouldโฆ probably step away,โ I struggled to speak. He glanced at Lucyโshe was regaining herself from the pieces of wood that shattered on her body, burying her in the pile. โYou ingrate!โ He cursed. His grip loosened around my neck with force, giving me the chance to take in as much air as Iโd been deprived. โGet me out of here!โ He coughed, choking on my words. Bryan left to attend to Lucy. He assisted her to her feet, and I could still see the rage in her eyes. It was there, lurking behind the pain that came from shock. She grasped

LUCYโS POVI walked out from where I hurled myself into for shelter, bridging the sweat off my hair. The place was in a messโsmoke gassed the entire room, its toxic smell making my stomach twist. The machine was fried, leaving most of its wires dancing by its sides.The smell choked me, forcing me to cough. With my elbow, I shielded my nose, while my eyes scanned the room for her.I spotted Bryan lying in the middle of the mess. Several things collapsed on him, and I thought I saw blood streaming from underneath one of them. My instincts kicked into Ron to his aid, which I did immediately.โBryan,โ I called, taking the things that obstructed my path off. They were a lotโfrom the woods from a frame, to some parts of the machine that exploded, and a part of the wall that crumbled in him. He groaned as he struggled to get himself free from the mess.โDonโt move. Youโll only make things worse,โ I said. I searched around for an easier way through the mess, and that was when I spotted my

BRYANS POVI parked the car at the front of the house, leaning back into the chair as I pulled the keys out. โThis is my home,โ I answered Lucy. Sheโd been curious ever since we headed out, probably because I chose not to handle this her way.Funny enough, this was her first being here despite how many years of dating. I kept this part of my family away from the world due to the amount of love I had for them. We were, however, seen as rogues. Perhaps thatโs who we are. Lucy has always known that I belong to a rogue pack. She just didnโt know what pack it was. Seeing the shock on her face only made me more excited.โI thought you said your home was taken away from you? she asked, leaning forward to get a proper view of the people moving from place to place ahead of us.โI did say that. But you should have understood what home I was talking about,โ I told her. My first home, which I referred to as the home I never met, was the Creeks mansion.I grew up in the outskirts of the city,

BRYANS POVโLiz, please.โ I followed her behind, keeping up with her quick strides as she made her way back to the house. โItโs just going to be for a few days,โโA few days?โ she turned to me. โThoseโฆfew daysโฆas you call it, is enough to bring this little home down. You and I know how much effort we put into securing this place, into the protection of this land. Yet you want to sweep it under the bus all because of what?โ She snapped.I sighed, seeing that this was already a lost argument. In our territory, we had no alpha or king. But we had people recognized for their strength and influence. My father was one of them, and that made him one of the most respected people in the rogue lands. Marrying Elizabeth, and her neutral ability to fight a warrior that she is, bestowed that same respect on her. Her say was final, and if she refused to grant me my request, no one else would. I glanced at Lucy who was watching from a distance, then back at Liz. โThis one time, Liz. I promise to

LUCY'S POVBryan was serious about leaving Jasmine in the trunk till the following morning. He acted like we didnโt come with anyone else, all his attention focused on Liz. Her body had gone cold, and he was massaging it with a warm towel. I sat across the sitting room, watching him while Adrian got himself engaged in a discussion with some adults outside, sitting around a fire and passing bottles of drinks. โIs it always this quiet?โ I asked, taking the first step to speak since I realized he was bent on saying nothing until Liz woke up. โNot always,โ he replied. โLiz bore some type of light. Her absence must have dimmed that light. The reason why most of the women have refused to settle until they see her,โ he said. A few hours after Adrian compelled the crowd that gathered in front of the house, some women stopped by again to see Liz. I was the one who spoke to them, giving an excuse that she would be back from her evening walk. Two more hours passed since I did that, and they

CAINES POVDistant murmurings filled my ears as I stirred awake. My eyes fluttered as they received the rays from the white light hanging above my head. For the first few seconds, I was blinded by the light. After what felt like minutes of waiting, the light got dim, giving me a chance to take a view of my environment.โHeโs waking up,โ a voice said. It sounded muffled like he was speaking to me or someone else with water in his mouth. I tried to turn my head towards the direction of the sound, but a sharp pain shot through my head.โOuch!โ I winced, reaching to hold my head. The pain seared through, touching every nerve as it sent cold signals down the rest of my body. โEasy son,โ my father's voice said. His footsteps rang in my ear like they were stepping on glass placed beside my ear, and I was forced to close both ears with my palms until I felt his hand on my neck. โYouโre fine. Youโre with family,โ he said. Slowly, I let go of my ears and turned to him. He was still standing

JASMINES POVI stood before the mirror, staring at my reflection. Time had passed since the last servant came to inform us that the car was waiting. Iโd completely lost myself in my reflection. The woman staring back at me was different. Someone Iโd long admired to be. I let out a sigh, taking the veil off my face. โAre we ready?โ I asked Alyssa who was still gathering a few things from her bag. โYesโฆjust these little things I have to get them weโll move,โ he said.I didnโt mind, because I felt like I had all the time in the world. I was willing to stand before the mirror, simply staring at myself and the baby bump that was evident from the white gown I had on. Two knocks landed on the door, and it creaked open. From the mirror, I saw my mother. โMum,โ I called under my breath. She told me that she wasnโt going to make it because she was still taking care of her husband. Seeing her here sent chills down my spine. I strode hurriedly across the room, but she covered more space tha

JASMINES POVI walked into the cemetery where Lucyโs body was buried. Carrying my flowers in one hand and holding Caine in the other. It was a month after her death, and as much as I tried to deny it, I could feel the void in my heart. She occupied somewhere in my heart, despite the betrayal and hatred, and I just couldnโt bring myself to deny that fact. Caine wasnโt in support of my going to visit the cemetery, but I insisted. I had to remind him of Lucyโs parents whom they locked up and werenโt able to pay their daughter a visit at her grave, nor did they have a chance to see them lower her into the ground. She was a villain, yesโbut also a human being. โIโll wait out here,โ Caine said. I didnโt argue. We disconnected our hands, and he kissed me before letting me off. Caine was still a work in progress. He was taking on a new personality, one that was completely in contrast to who he was before the accident. His memories were not completely back, but each day, with my presenc

CAINES POVThe next time I woke up, I couldnโt move my hands or legs. I scanned the room area after getting a clearer vision. The smell of wolfโs bane was strong in the air, and that explained why I felt weak. โYouโre finally up, welcome to the party,โ Lucy drew my attention to her. She was crouched beside Jasmine, and something about that position upset my wolf. He wanted to defend Jasmine, to stand up for her. But our strength was sealed. โGet away from her. Who are you?โ I gritted.โItโs so sad that it had to be your memory that was lost. A part of me wished you died that night,โ she blurted. โWhat?โ I asked. Then I understood what she was talking about. My accident. โThat girlโฆElara right?โ She chuckled. โShe was this close to figuring out. If only sheโd been smart,โI groaned, pulling against my restraints. โYou killed her!โ I yelled. But only a sinister smile played on her face as she moved from Jasmine to me. โYou canโt do anything, Caine, not even now. You couldnโt even

CAINES POVThe call dropped.I yanked the phone from my ear, staring at the screen as static hummed in my ears. The connection had been lost.Jasmineโs voice still rang in my head, breathless and desperate.Iโm pregnantโwith your child.I shot up from my chair so fast it clattered against the floor. My wolf was raging beneath my skin, demanding action, demanding I find her.Just then, a car drove in. I moved to the window to see who it was. Lucy. My eyes drifted to the clock, and it was a few minutes past twelve. The sky was completely dark, and the moon was hanging with a moonlight under the cloud. โShe sounded scaredโฆand urgentโฆโ I thought. All of a sudden, my wolf was full of rage. The fragment of memory that I had tried to remember felt like it was fighting its way up. But distractions. Lucy was coming up, and I had to confirm my suspicions. I reached for my phone and sent a text to Beta Joseph, telling him to track my phone and find me if anything happened. I sent the same

JASMINEโS POVThe moment the door shut behind them, I let out a shaky breath, my body sagging against the chair. My arms ached from the restraints, my head pounding from exhaustion, but none of it compared to the sharp pain radiating through my stomach. The warmth of my blood soaked into my dress was a terrifying reminder of just how much danger I was in.I glanced at the table where Lucy had tossed her phone. It was my only chance.My eyes drifted back to the door after I heard a sound. I thought they were coming back, so I curled back into my tears. After a few seconds of waiting, and no one came through the door, I let out a heavy sigh, staring at the phone. Desperation fueled me as I forced my body forward. I fell from the chair and crashed my face on the floor. Shock coursed through my face, sending my head and my brain pulsing with the taste of blood that circulated in my mouth. I ignored the pain, keeping my eyes focused on the phone that lay on the table. I started crawlin

LUCY'S POVI slammed the brakes, drifting the car out of the garage. I saw Caine standing at the edge of the hallway through the rear mirror. His gaze was fixed on the car, his body still as I drove off. I knew he was getting suspicious, and it was only a matter of time before he came searching or digging for answers. I drove into the silence that filled the night, a clear contrast to the storm of thoughts that raged in my mind. Iโd asked for dinner with them because I started noticing the low murmuring when I wasnโt looking. They were getting suspicious, questioning my whereabouts and my lateness to the events and important meetings. I also noticed how distant I had become due to the plans Bryan had and the hitches we experienced over the month. Recently, a few days back or so, Adrian went on a hunting spree, killing tons of humans and werewolves. According to my parents, he was facing the likelihood of the breakout of another disease all because he hadnโt found someone who was

CAINEโS POVThe silence that filled the room was suffocating. The way all eyes drifted to me, I knew I shouldnโt have uttered those words. I took a little drift away from Lucyโs stare, traveling my eyes around the room. The eyes of others carried a heavy weight, like a secret, lurking behind them. I made sure I observed all before returning my gaze to Lucy. Unlike others, and unlike the first time the question was asked, she was smiling. What changed?Wasnโt she curious to know what changed?โโGo on, Caine. Why donโt you tell us? Are we supposed to be expecting someone else,โ she asked again. The rest returned to their meal, the forks clanging softly against their plates. Even their eyes were buried into their plates, and it felt like they were expecting some kind of outburst of somethingโa quarrel perhaps. โAre you okay mate?โ Harper nudged me, Snapping me out of my zone. I forced a smile, nodding hurriedly.โOf course. I just didnโt spot Joanne in time. My sight I guess.โ lie

JASMINES POVThe light shuffling of feet and the muffled voices stirred me up from my sleep. Standing at the edge of the room Bryan, talking with Adrian. They were discussing in lie tones, but Bryan seemed to be angrier. โYou led them here!โ He yelled, pushing Adrian. For reasons best known to Adrian, he wasnโt getting angry just like Bryan. He maintained his cool, taking the blows and the blame. โDeal with it,โ Bryan snapped. โItโs already been dealt with,โ Adrian said finally. My vision blurred for a few seconds, and I blinked several times to get a clearer view. Silence fell in the room after Adrain spoke, safe for Bryanโs heavy breathing. โYou what?โโTheyโve been dealt with. And Lucy drove off with their bodies to bury them somewhere far,โ he explained. With the I saw things, Bryan wasnโt in support of that. He took two steps forward, and the third step placed him directly in front of Adrian.โYou killed the cops?โ My breath hitched after hearing what the offense was.

CAINES POVIt was the second month since the arrest of Lilian. My father has been silent on the progress being made by my uncle and the rest of the investigation teamโthatโs if progress was being made. On the other hand, Natasha has been nothing but helpful. For reasons best known to her, she only let me discuss things Iโd planned for and my father eventually left. She stood in as my therapist. On the other hand, Lucy is awkwardly absent from the house. She leaves so early and comes back really late at night. When I asked, she attributed the return of her parents and her brother whom the police department was after. I walked out of bed, moved to the mirror, and ran my fingers through the bandage on my head. Two months had come, and gone, yet I still couldnโt get an answer to the most bothersome question in my mind.Why Jasmine?A few days ago, I asked my father. I wanted to know why she was the only name that kept recurring in my head. I noticed the way he tried to avoid the qu
