Elena~I stood outside the room with Jake, Darla, Lola, Dario, Raquel. Everyone’s senses was heightened as fuck. Seeing Vanessa lay there unmoving and unresponsive, sent chills down my spine. Watching Mathew cradle her body in his arms, desperately calling for her to wake up has to be one of my top ten most excruciatingly painful moments. Jake had called the pack doctor immediately as Mathew rushed her into their room. The pack doctor arrived about five minutes later and we showed him to the couple’s room. Mathew has refused to leave her side for even a second, holding her hand and crying silently it took Jake alpha ordering him before he could leave her side and let the doctor do his work. Now we all stood outside, waiting for the doctor’s diagnosis. Jake was currently pacing around, obviously stressed from the event. We all had no idea what could have happened, Vanessa was fine one minute and the next? She was unconscious and bleeding. “Is Vanessa pregnant?” Lola asked no one in
Elena~“I saw Raquel pouring some substance into Vanessa’s drink before passing it to her.”“What? What are you insinuating, Darla?” I whispered, looking around in case someone had heard what she said. Saying something like that in a situation like this is terrible. Darla jerked her hand off my hold, “I know what I saw and what I’m saying. She came to the kitchen, poured something into one of the drink and I’m certain she gave that drink to Vanessa.” She hissed out.“Do you even realize what you’re saying? Do you realize the gravity of what you just said? Of what you’re insinuating?” I snapped and she rolled her eyes.“You think? I’ve been racking my brain trying to think of a reason why she would do what she did but I can’t come up with any. Raquel is the alpha’s sister and one that he just accepted at that, why would she do this? She hasn’t even gained the trust of anyone in the pack so why?” She says.“Darla, your accusation is heavy and I don’t know what to think. This is really h
Elena~“Raquel poisoned Vanessa’s drink, causing the miscarriage.” I blurted out, watching the initial confusion clear from his eyes, replaced with something shock.“What?” “I- I know it might sound absurd-“ I paused again. “Thinking of it now, it doesn’t sound absurd.”“Get to the point Elena.” He bellowed angrily, making me flinch slightly.“I went to talk to Darla but she told me she had seen Raquel put something into Vanessa’s drink but I didn’t believe it. I went to Vanessa’s room to check on her and I heard Raquel speaking with with Mathew. They have been together for a while now and even says they are mates.-‘I decided to tell him everything I heard, watching as his eyes widened, slowly assimilating everything I said.“So you’re telling me that Matthew knew about this? He not only cheated on Vanessa but also brought his mistress into the house, giving her liberty to poison his mate?” Jake asked, face red with anger, his hand clutches into a tight fist, shaking with anger.“W
Elena~I pushed the door open, stepping into the room. Jake stood by the window, gazing outside. I stood there for some minutes, watching him sigh.“Hey.” I whispered, walking closer to him. He turned to look at me, a sad small smile making its way to his lips. “Hey.” He replied, stretching his arms apart.“How are you?” I asked. He went quiet, gazing back outside. I didn’t think he was going to reply me anymore. I sighed, wrapping my arms around his waist.“To be honest, I don’t know how I feel. I’m conflicted.” He says honestly and I hummed, waiting for him to speak the more.“There is Vanessa whose life has suddenly changed from having a mate to not having one. I’ve not been close to Vanessa, I mean, I wasn’t that close to Matthew either but she’s always been there, smiling happily, giggling. She has this aura of comfort that radiates through her, making me feel comforted whenever I’m around her. She’s good like that. I’ve not had the opportunity to really get to know her but from
Elena~(This chapter is just between Vanessa and Elena.)A loud shriek had me running from where I stood and to Vanessa’s room. I pushed the door open to see Vanessa sobbing loudly, thrashing around even as Darla tried to hold her down.I looked at Darla who was also crying, trying to hold Vanessa down as she thrashed around.“Vanessa.” I whispered, making my way to her. I climbed the bed, pulling her tightly to me.“My baby, not my baby. Not my baby.” She cried out, eyes red and leaking tears, nose snotty. She gripped my sleeve tightly, looking me deeply in the eyes.“E-Elena.” She croaked out sobbing loudly. My heart broke into a thousand pieces watching her cry her heart out. I swallowed the lump in my throat and hugged her. She held unto my shoulder tightly, crying so hard.“My baby. I want my baby. I- I want my baby.” She choked out, crying the more. My throat tighten as I glanced at Darla who was also crying.She hasn’t even heard of what Mathew and Raquel did. “You need to cal
Elena~Tired.That’s exactly how I felt, waking up in the morning, I felt tired to my bones. The effect of the past two days was telling on my body. I haven’t had a moment to take a break and just rest. “Hey.” Jake whispered next to me. I turned to see him already staring at me, a soft smile made it’s way to his lips. “Hey” I whispered back, locking eyes with him. Our moment was broken when someone knocked on the door.I watched Jake stand up, draping a robe around his body and walked to the door, I couldn’t hear what he was saying nor could I see who interrupted us but it seemed like they came to tell him something.I sat up when he shut the door behind him “What’s wrong?” I asked and he shook his head.“Vanessa asked to see Matthew and Raquel, everyone is downstairs now and waiting for us.” He tells me. I hurried out of bed, rushing to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Vanessa seeing Matthew is definitely not going to be good, especially if Raquel is there. I still remember the cr
Elena~Three months after…“Elena! Elena!” Someone called out my name. I placed the watering can on the floor, removing the hat on my head as I turned to see who was calling out my name. A smile graced my lips as soon as I got a whiff of the tiny footsteps rushing my way.“Careful, you might fall.” I say just as the child reached me, hugging my legs tightly. I giggled, kneeling to hug her.“What’s wrong bey? Shouldn’t you be with Lily?” I asked the child, placing my fingers under her chin, tilting her head upwards slightly to meet my eyes.“She’s being rude and won’t share her plushie with me.” She pouted and I smiled. “Now, why won’t she share her plushie with you? What did you do wrong?“ I asked, the sharp glint in her eyes telling me she had done something.“Beatrice!” Someone yelled agitatedly. I pursed my lips into a thin line on perceiving the scent of an anxious person.“Oh, thank the goddess.” The woman who had been calling out to the child said, slapping her forehead slightl
Elena~“Are you ready?” Jake asked. I finished zipping my bag, standing up properly. “Yeah, I am.” I replied, watching as his eyes darted around.“You still haven’t told me what your plan is. I don’t think showing up in the Crystal pack without a plan is actually smart.” I say and he nodded, walking towards me with a smile on his face.“You trust me, right?” He asked like I wouldn’t bare my neck to him and let him do as he please without second guessing it.“Of course.” He palmed his lips into a thin line, bringing his hand up to caress my cheek “just trust me, we have to finish up what this is with Jason and the only way we can get into his territory right now is pretend like we are still friends with him. For that, I’ll need you by my side.” He says. That’s the only thing I’ve been able to understand in this whole thing. He hasn’t slipped out about the plan. All I know is that he’s been pretty secretive about it. Of. Course, I know it isn’t about him not trusting me but perhaps it’
