Chapter Four

Vanessa. 

“Please don't kill me, I am pregnant.” I started begging them as soon as they started untying me from the trap. The man untying me just stared at me and removed the trap, before getting some clothes and tying it up, he then carried me and started following a trail slowly being followed by what seemed like an army.in the few days i had stayed at the crescent pack, i hadn't seen any of this people there not even one of them. 

“Did he send you?” I tried asking not to be pushy if they decided to kill me right there. 

Still no one spoke up; they just kept walking until we approached what seemed like a castle. I had never been there before. A lot of people both women and even children, were all working together. They all seemed happy. 

“Where are you taking me and who are you?” still no one spoke until we entered a huge room. They put me down on what seemed like a bed and left. A young woman showed up with a basin and a towel, she had a warm smile. 

“Hello, I am Kat. Am going to clean your wounds before the doctor comes to stitch you up.”

“Okay, thanks.” I said, trying to fake a smile. “Where am I?” I asked, touching her hand. “If he finds me he will kill me, please don't let him kill me.”

“You are safe here, I promise.” she said, rubbing my shoulder. “Let's take care of your wounds first.”

“Okay i say trying to relax, she seemed genuine and nice to me. “I am pregnant.” I found myself blurting out, “with twins I don't know if they are okay.” she looked at me with another genuine smile and motioned for me to lie down on my back. 

After what seemed like forever, I was stitched up with clean bandaging and clean clothes. I was in a different room, a cozy room when I woke up. For a moment I thought I was dreaming. I have never in my life had someone treat me so good. 

“That was a long nap.” Kat said from the doorway as she came inside. 

“For how long was I out?” I ask her sitting up. 

“Three hours.”she said sitting next to me in the bed. 

“ I haven't slept well in a while.” I said, rubbing my stomach, and then I looked back at her. 

“Your babies are completely fine, so are you. You will just need to be on bed rest for a while.”

“Thank you so much for everything.” 

“Don't thank me, there are people who want to see you. We are the half moon pack, you have probably heard of us.”

My mouth is wide open in shock, the half moon pack is the most powerful and richest of all packs. They all lived in Harmony and peace but whenever they declared war no one would survive them. Even the crescent pack with their arrogance feared them. 

“What do they want with me?”I asked, confused and a little terrified now. 

“There is someone who wants to meet you, they have sent troops out to look for you for a very long time, at some point we all thought they will find you already dead.”

“Well honestly I am also surprised that I am still breathing.”

“If you don't mind me asking Vanessa, who is the father? Do you even know?”she asked, almost afraid to.

“Yeah it's him, alpha Damian but he doesn't know yet. But I doubt he will even care.”

“I am so sorry for everything that happened to you Vanessa.”

“Thank you.” I said as we stood up and she led me out. 

We walked through some corridors before she led me up to a cozy lit up room

“Just sit there, she will join you shortly.” Kat said as she walked away.

“She?”I asked, confused. “I thought I was meeting your Alpha?.”

Kat just smiled before walking away. I sat there in silence for what felt like forever before I heard footsteps.

I turned around and there she was, in the flesh. 

I am hallucinating, this cannot be true. I tried talking to Eden, my wolf but she was still too weak.

“This is not real, you are not real.” I said out loud and my mother just smiled and continued walking up to me. 

“I went to your burial when I was six years old, you are supposed to be dead.” I said tears streaming down my face, tears of sadness, joy and anger mostly anger. 

“I will explain everything Vanessa, let's just sit.”she said, holding my arm. I immediately instinctively pulled away and stood some feet away from her. 

“Don't come near me just don't.”i said all the bad things I have gone through coming back. “You left me.”

“I didn't have any other choice Vanessa, please sit and give me a chance to explain.”

“All that time you were peacefully living here when I was slaving away for everyone and being used. Did you ever think about me? You knew he was abusive and you just left me with him. What kind of mother does that?”

I immediately ran out of the room still crying. I went outside and found a secluded place, it seemed like a flower garden, so I sat there watching the sun set as I bawled my eyes out. 

“She talked about you everyday,” I heard a voice from behind me, a male voice, “everyone here knows who you are because you are all she talks about.” I looked up at him and he was the sexiest man I had ever seen. Tall, blue eyes, broad shoulders and when he talked you could see he had dimples on both cheeks. 

I felt a warm feeling, like I had never felt before, and a very strong attraction towards him.

We found him Vanessa, finally we found your mate. My wolf Eden said. For a moment I was shocked but it all started to make sense, I have never had any of this attraction towards anyone, and the warm feeling I felt towards him was so intense. 

“I am Jordan, I had started to think I might never find my mate.” He said sitting next to me. 

“Not to burst your bubble Jordan, but I am broken and pregnant with twins for the man my father sacrificed me to.” I don't know what I expected his reaction to be but he just sat there looking at me. 

“How long has she been here?” I asked, referring to my mother, also trying to change the subject. 

“Pretty much since she was declared dead. She is the Luna of this pack, she married my father.”

“Wait, your father is the Alpha of this pack?” I asked shocked, “what about your mother?”

“She died giving birth to me. And your mother has been great, don't give her so much grief Vanessa.”

“She left me and she has been living this great life while i was suffering, why didn't she come for me?” I asked a fresh set of tears streaming down my face. 

“She wanted to but she couldn't Vanessa, it was not yet time. People needed to believe she is still dead and that would have jeopardized everything.”

“You do know that does not make me feel better not even one bit.” I say picking a rose flower and smelling it. 

“So why now?” I abruptly asked, “Why help me now?”

“Because it was time, when she heard that your father gave you out she wanted to start a war with the half moon pack to get you back. But before the plans could formulate, news reached us that you had escaped and she knew you would be in danger so that's when she started looking for you.”

“Have you heard the news whether he is you know…” i say not having the courage to say dead. 

“He is not dead, if that's what you are asking.”

“So what next?” I ask now, sitting back to face him. “what happens next?”

“Nothing, right now you need to stay still healthy and have those babies.” he said without blinking. 

“Aren't you going to ask me why am I keeping them considering how they were conceived and who their father is?”

“No.” he said smiling. “Now I need to get you back inside so you can eat something.”

“Why are you being so nice to me? No one has ever been nice to me.” I said as tears came again. “I'm sorry, they just keep coming.” I say embarrassed as I wipe my tears away.
