PREGNANT AND BANISHED のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Lana's Pov.​I didn't sleep much. Every time I closed my eyes, I heard Jasper’s voice on the phone. It wasn't the voice I knew, I tried to tell myself I was wrong. Maybe the connection was bad. Maybe I heard it wrong. But the doubt was there now, like a tiny crack in a window.​I pushed those thoughts away and focused on the lab table. I had to work. It was the only thing that kept me from screaming.​I was looking at the samples I took from my father. The bitter smell of that herb was still stuck in my nose. I began to run tests on everything. I tested the bread from the kitchen, the fruit, and the water.​Asher was there again. He sat in a chair by the door, just like he had the day before. He didn't have his phone or a book. He just sat there and watched me. His eyes followed me every time I moved to pick up a glass tube or check the microscope. It was a heavy, quiet presence that made the back of my neck itch.​"Do you have to sit there?" I asked, not looking up from my work.​"Y

Lana's POV. The nurse's body crashed against my legs. I screamed so loud.She hit the floor hard, gasping for breath while blood spread beneath her trembling body. Her fingers wrapped desperately around my ankle."H---help them..." she cried weakly.My entire body turned cold."Asher!" I shouted.Asher rushed forward immediately grabbing the nurse by her shoulders."What happened?'" he growled.The nurse coughed violently. Blood spilled from her mouth."T--the children.."The moment she said those words, my heart stopped beating. That confirmed the cry I had heard earlier, before the nurse arrived. I pushed past Asher and ran."Lana!" Asher roared behind me.I didn't stop. A whole lot was going through my mind at the same time. My breathing became uneven as fear tore through my chest."Please let them be safe," I muttered.I reached their door and froze instantly. The guards outside the room were dead, and blood was splashed everywhere. Their throats had been ripped open violently. B

Lana's POV The door creaked open slowly. I immediately looked, expecting the usual guard carrying my lunch tray. But the moment my eyes landed on the figure standing there, my entire body stiffened. It was Amelia. She stood elegantly at the entrance wearing a fitted dark dress, her blonde hair cascading over her shoulders like poison wrapped in silk. A wicked smile stretched across her lips. Clap! Clap! Clap! She began clapping slowly while laughing mockingly. "Impressive," she said dramatically. "Absolutely impressive." I ignored her and said nothing. Her eyes scanned the room before landing on Asher's father lying weakly on the bed. "You brought a dead man back to life. The entire pack is worshipping you outside." She tilted her head. "Should I bow too?" I ignored her completely and continued checking the Alpha's pulse while I was still waiting for the guard who brought my food to arrive. Amelia walked deeper into the room, her heels clicking against the floor. "I un

Lana's POVThe guard stared at me nervously for what felt like forever. His fingers remained tightly wrapped around the phone inside his pocket while his eyes kept shifting toward the door to be sure nobody was coming inside the room."You'll return it immediately?" he asked again quietly.I nodded slowly even though my pulse was pounding so violently against my chest that I could barely breathe."I only need one minute."The guard swallowed hard. For a second, I thought he would refuse again. He hesitated, then pulled the phone out quickly."Fine," he whispered. "But if anybody finds out about this, I'm dead."I was so relieved that my knees almost weakened."You have my word," I said softly.He unlocked the phone with trembling fingers before handing it over to me carefully. The moment it touched my palm, my heartbeat skyrocketed.The guard immediately moved toward the door and opened it slightly before stepping outside like he was simply standing watch. I noticed how tense he looke

Lana's Pov.My heart nearly stopped.The children's room was locked from the outside. I stared at the door in confusion before my eyes slowly dropped to the silver key hanging from the lock.No no no…My breathing turned shallow instantly.Why would somebody lock my children inside?I rushed forward immediately and banged hard on the door.“Jacob!” I shouted fearfully. “Mathew!”Tiny footsteps rushed toward the door from inside.“Mummy?” Mathew’s trembling voice answered.Relief hit me so hard that my knees almost gave out.“I’m here,” I said quickly. “Are you boys okay?”“Yes…” Jacob answered this time, though his voice sounded angry. “But they locked us inside.”My blood ran cold.They? Who locked them?I grabbed the handle violently and tried opening it, but it refused to move. Panic spread through my entire body.“Move away from the door,” I told them quickly.I stepped back and kicked the door hard but it didn't open.Tears burned my eyes immediately.“Open this door!” I screamed
