CHAPTER 5

Alexa's POV

I paced around the room in utter annoyance with my thoughts ruminating.

I didn't know what to do.

From the saga that happened between Jasper and I, and that which had to do concerning my ‘mother’, Nora. And my identity as a half-witch.

I felt deeply moved to go to Jasper and give him a listening ear to what really happened that night, while also I was thinking About if I should trust Nora or not concerning the things that she said about me.

Indeed, she knew my secrets but what did that have to do with if she was my real mother or not.

“You know what? Shirley, what do you think?” Shirley who had been sitting quietly in the living room finally stopped shaping her nails with the nail cutter. She blew on it advently and said.

“You know there's a slang these days that go ‘Think with your head and do not be moved by your emotions that you end up making the wrong decisions.’ I think that quote alone is helpful to us all. But most especially you, Alexa.”

“Then don't you think I should go back to Crimson peaks and ask Jasper about what really happened that time?”

Shirley sighed. “It's all up to you, dear.”

“It is?”

Shirley nodded. “Yes, I may be here to give you advice but the ultimate is this. Only you have the power in your heart to decide what you want to believe.”

“Then I'll go to Jasper right away. I need an answer to what I saw.”

“Don't be too frantic to get an answer, Alexa.”

I was calming myself down so I didn't lose it completely. “I want you to be calm. You've been stressed out these days and it is written all over your face.”

“It's probably not the stress, but my pregnancy.” I said. Shirley looked surprised for an instant and then she said softly, “Its for Jasper, isn't it?”

I nodded. “Why else would I be so frantic in my thoughts about meeting him. A child should not grow up without a father. I grew up without one so I know how it feels. it's not something I would want my child to feel.”

“No wonder,” Shirley got up from her seat and walked over to hold my hand, and this simple act of faith of hers strengthened mine. She had no idea what she did truly to me and she may never know it but I felt it deeply.

The door bursted open and I trembled until I saw who it was at the door.

“Mother,” I said to Nora who held open the door.

Shirley removed her hand from mine and said, “I'll get going.”

“Do you have to?” I asked while making a pouty face. Shirley simply smiled at me and slapped my arm playfully. “Spend more time with your mom,” she commented and I nodded. “I'll see you later, hmm?”

Shirley nodded back at me and walked past Nora out the door. As soon as Shirley left, Nora smiled at me. “Do you want to see a magic trick?” She pointed to herself and then at the door which started to close itself slowly until it eventually shut itself.

I was a bit scared about this magic trick. And Nora. I wondered if she was truly who that she said she was.

“Are you scared, Alexa?”

Could she read minds too?

“I'm not—”

“—Don’t be. You can do the same things that I did and even so much more.” Alexa walked over and placed a hand over my hand. “You are so much more,’’ she said with glowing eyes.

“But mother, why are you here?” I asked.

“Why? Don't you want to see me? Don't you miss me? Because I sure do miss you very much. It's very normal for witches to find their offspring no matter where they are in the world.

I swallowed. Not sure if that was a good or a bad thing.

“Mom, can we sit and talk for a second?” I asked and she nodded.

As soon as she was seated, I also found my way onto a chair.

“What do you want to talk about, my dear?”

“You know… I'm going to be mom soon in the future, you know that I carry child.”

“Yes, but what about that? It's a very important occasion to prepare for, yes but it is not new. There is truly nothing new under the sun, Alexa. I want you to keep that in mind no matter what happens to you. That way, you can be given the opportunity to find strength regardless of where you are in the world.”

“Mom, I know what you are saying but I don't want to raise this child all alone.”

“You are not raising any child alone, Alexa. You have me, you have your friend.”

“Ultimately, everything else will be up to me.”

“Don’t think like that, Alexa. Please don't.”

“I want to go back to Crimson peaks to give Jasper a chance to explain what happened that night.”

“No way.” Nora looked at me as though she was disappointed. And she had every right to be, but this was for my unborn child. I had to born her in a world that was welcoming, not a Life that she has to be isolated like I was. It was unhealthy and ultimately was not serving.

“Don’t tell me you want to give a stranger an opportunity to deceive you.”

“But Jasper is my mate. Even though he cheated on me, he's still my baby's father.”

“Are you sure this is the choice you're going to choose?” Nora bursted into tears and I hurriedly went to console her but she drew back from me. “You are not yourself right now, if you are you wouldn't even think of such a thing. Also, it's because I've been too separate from you when you were a child that you don't believe me.”

“I believe you Nora!”

“Then why don't you stay away from that strange guy? He is not your mate you are just being deceived!”

I sighed to myself bitterly. I didn't like when Nora was emotional, it made me sad. How could I explain to her that I believed her but I was concerned about what the future of my son and daughter will be?

I care about you.” As it was right now, the desires of my mother was clear. She wanted me to choose between her and Jasper and my answer was easy. Her. She was the one who gave birth to me anyway but I also wondered about Jasper and what his answer would be when I faced him again. He could even say that he hated me and from the very first instant that we met, he plotted to ruin her life. These fears concerning what the truth was really made me scared but calm and so it was easy for me to stay calm in the situation. I hugged my mom tightly and she smiled in response before she hugged me back.“Thank you dear, you're making the right choice, I vow to you.”“You must help me raise my child in the future,”“Don't worry, we can do so together.” I hug

She was going to introduce me to the leader of the pack and maybe the elders but I was too busy.”The Alpha looked me up and down and said, “Fine. But do you accept your offer of residing in the packhouse? I am willing to host you. I don't want another situation in which there would be an emergency but there would be no one to help.”“Don't you have a nurse at the packhouse?” I asked, genuinely interested in knowing.“We used to. Untill she got married and left to her mate's pack. We haven't replaced her ever since.”“I'm her replacement then,” I said quietly.“If you join the packhouse I promise to pay you quite generously.”“Of course, Alpha.” it is not that I thought I would be a burden to Shirley if I s

I placed my hand on my tummy and she laughed. “You are right. This is not the end. We're going to meet again, okay?”I smiled and patted her on the shoulder.“By the way, when are you leaving?”“Today.”Shirley bursted into another fit and embraced.That day, she helped me pack my stuff and take them to the packhouse. I spotted a lot of eyes in my direction when I was walking into the packhouse with Shirley.“Who is she? She looks unfamiliar.”“That's right. She must be new.”“I saw her walking with the Alpha earlier, she must be a new member of the pack.”“I think so too.”“Don't mind their words,” Shirley told me, “They're just curious about you,” she told me.I walked into the packhouse to the room that the Alpha had showed me before, in front of it was a lady with fair cheeks and an angular shaped fac

You know the atmosphere, it pays to be in a healthy environment, doesn't it?” Nathan nodded. “So it's because of a guy. I was hoping it'd be something a little tragic so I can feel sorry for you.” “Well,” I shrugged not really knowing what to say. “That’s fine. I have to go to work. I'll see you another time.” Nathan said and I nodded, holding the door out for him. “Right, it's okay. Goodbye, Alpha.” The moment he stepped out, I exhaled but then felt my heart rate speeding up. “I don't know why but I feel a pull between Nathan and I. Is it because he's Alpha?” I asked my wolf as I placed my hand over my chest, my breathing heavy. “I don't know,” she whispered in my head. “Let's just see as time pans out.” “I feel as though he's my mate but that's not possible, right?” “It could be.” My wolf responded. “Nora t

Honestly speaking, my mind was everywhere but here I apologize.” “Who are you?” He asked instantly. And I stopped in my tracks thinking of what to say to him. “Well… erhm—” “—I’ve never seen you around before,” he interrupted me. “Actually —” “—Did you force your way into here or something?” “I—” “Boaz!” I heard Angel from the distance. Immediately I saw her my mind was at ease because I knew she'd be able to introduce me right. “Angel?” He said with raised eyebrow. Angel soon came onto us and handed Boaz an apple in her hands. “Don't be mean to her, she's the new pack nurse. She'll be the one to fix all the infirmities going on within the pack house.” “So she's the previous nurse replacement.” Angel nodded. Boaz looked at me hesitantly. “B

Things could get really dangerous while we are here.” Beta Boaz said. “Not while I'm here.” Alpha Nate said confidently. I hid my smile while firmly clutching to the first aid box. I looked ahead of them only to see multitudes of werewolves in their wolf forms. They looked ready to tear me up until Alpha Nate stood in front of me and introduced me to them. “This is Alexa, I brought her here to take care of the injured.” “I've never smelt anything like her before Alpha,” “That's because she's new. She's a new pack member.” Alpha Nate said and they all seem to relax a bit. I stood by on watch. Alpha Nate kept calling scores and the beta helped to give Alpha Nate what he needed at that moment in time. It was the first time I was watching the Alpha and beta both work in sync to do their jobs. As the wolves read the centimetres of the bound

You moved only a few days ago, what were you expecting?”“I don't know Shirley, why don't you tell me what I should be expecting?” “Oh, I guess my mate should appear by now and I should be living my happy ever after but since he's not appeared, I'm still content with everything going on. Reason number one being, you are my first love Alexa. My huge first love!”I laughed at Shirley's overreaction and it brought forth joy into my spirit, just being here and listening to her.“Anything new with you at the pack?

I had found that out but myself.“Call me Edward,” he said causing my jaw to drop.“What?”“My name is Edward.”“Well Edward I don't know what to do concerning you. You are my brother?! That's crazy. My parents, I mean, our parents never told me that they gave birth to a boy.”“That's probably because they didn't want you to be any sadder If they told you that your twin brother is missing.”“Twin brother?” I said, feeling shocked a second time.“We're twins?!” I asked.“Yes,” he nodded, “And stop acting so surprised everytime, it's annoying.”“I see.” I answered, but then I said, “We're really siblings.

I couldn't let the death of the white wolf be in vain. Also, Zaria was dead. And there was nothing that I could do to ever bring her back. So now my focus should be on my pack, Deep into the woods and how to make it prosperous again without any interference from the shadow Wolves.“Wait,” I said causing the Shadow Wolves leader to halt in his steps.“What?” He asked before looking at me.“If you don't have any magic then how come you don't react to my magic?” I asked.“Oh,” he turned to me. “Ever since I was little, I always carry a little pendant with me which makes me immune to magic. I don't know who gave it to me but somehow it always works and protects me when I'm in danger. It's like a little pocket charm.” He said. “By the way,” I said, “I want to you to stop attacking Deep into the woods.” “And what w

I have come here to announce a truce with your leader.”One of the Shadow Wolves scoffed, “Attack!”They all sped towards me and I stretched my hands forth causing magic to explode out of me causing them to all fall back to this ground with blood gushing out of their mouths. They were all dead.I looked to the while wolf beside me and it howled. I stepped over the dead bodies and continued to walk ahead over to see more shadow Wolves rushing tow

Because of him we know who our enemies are and who our friends are.” I said and they all applauded him.“I would also like to announce to you all that Phillip would be the Beta of Deep into the woods, I hope you all listen to him as well as you listen to me.” I said. There was a little bit of hesitation amongst the crowd. After all, most of them were aware of what had happened in the pack with Zaria North. However, some clapped and I instantly knew that Phillip would have some problem controlling the people and ruling them but I also knew that he would have to prove himself. Only then would he be accepted.“Every

He did as I urged with his eyes widened in anticipation for what I would say next.“What's the problem?” He asked.“I choose today to officially make you my beta.”“But why what's the hurry?”“I just thought about it and to be frank with you, I don't like how everything in my pack is moving so I decided that I would go to meet the leader of the shadow Wolves. That's the only way that the pack would ever make progress. I'm tired of people dying on me.”“Alpha, that is dangerous. Is there anyone else you've spoken about this to?”“Just you, Phillip.”Phillip cleared his throat, “How is the baby doing?”“Good. But the most important thing here isn't me or the baby. It's the pack.

After all he said about Zaria North?I stood up from the chair.“Arthur, you said Zaria killed your son and now you're saying you don't think she killed your son?” I said, feeling absolutely disgusted by what Arthur was saying.“Now that Zaria is dead you're changing your mind?”“It's exactly because she's dead that I think she didn't kill my son. How could she do that and kill herself, it doesn't make sense at all to me!”“What makes sense then Arthur, tell me?”“I think Zaria was controlled before she died. One of the warriors told me that she died during the war but she was brought back to life. I didn't believe him but now that she's dead, I think he might be onto something.”“She told me something similar before she died but I…” I trailed off, while thinking deeply. “I don't know.” I said while exhaling. I sat back down on my chair and said to Arthur, “Can you please cal

I was the Alpha of Deep into the woods, I could not falter, I was the Alpha so I had to be strong even though nobody else was.“I have to tell you something, Phillip.”“Oh, what is it? Alpha?”“Your sister, Zaria North is dead.”He looked at me, disbelief crossing his expressions. “That's a lie. What?”“It's true.” I said, nodding frankly.Phillip's eyes because red at once.

So I took a shower and got dressed in my normal clothes then I went to my office and Martha had already replaced my files. I didn't know what to do. I still hadn't thought of what to do with Alpha Nate.He'd betrayed me of course but his betrayal made no sense to me. Unless he knew about my powers and tried to use me to fulfill his own selfish motives. However, I wouldn't know because I didn't even get to ask him. But with the rate at which things were accelerating, if I didn't put a quick stop to what was going on with the Shadow Wolves things could get worse and more people could betray. Who

What do you know about that?” I asked.She shook her head at that agressively. “Nothing I swear!”“Tell me everything you know, Zaria. Did you decide to betray me because I didn't give you everything you wanted? Instead I chased you out of the pack to represent the shadow Wolves. Did you regret being affiliated with Deep into the woods so you met with their leader instead and did his dirty deeds so he could let you go?” I asked with my eyes glowing with tears. But I stubbornly wiped the tears. There was no way I would cry because of Zaria. She wasn't worthy of my tears.Zaria suddenly stumbled back in the prison cell and her eyes widened. She clenched onto the side of her top and said, ”I remember now.”My eyes widened.“Tell me,” I said.
