CHAPTER 2
Last Updated:
2024-10-10 11:41:50I tugged on my short skirt as I walked into the hallway, ready for class and looking for Lucy.
I was too busy crying, I didn't text her back after last night.
Hopefully I don't get to hear her gushing about thier date or see hickeys he had given her all over her neck today.
“The ugly duckling arrives” I heard the voice of my usual bullies as I walked towards my locker, it was too late to turn back now.
I let my head drop so I would not look at their faces and be reminded of my nightmares.
“What is with that green blouse?It's so ugly my eyes are becoming sore” Tatiana, the annoying girlfriend of Spencer said about my blouse and he kissed her cheek before laughing.
They were surrounded by other boys and girls, littering the hallway before class.
“Give me my twenty bucks Jerry, I told you her hair would still be tangled today. You didn’t expect her to change overnight did you?” Imani said to one of the boys and the rest laughed before he dug out his wallet and placed the dollar note in her hand.
I was surprised Caine was not with them today, he was usually their leader who led without speaking a word.
He was a wicked bully who moved silently, you never knew his next move.
"Guys she's wearing a mini skirt today" Jojo announced and I groaned inwardly.
Sadly enough for me, they sat directly opposite my locker today so I had no choice than to be near them and hear these awful things about myself.
"Ohhhhhh" they all cooed in unison before bursting out laughing.
"The audacity" Tatiana said snickering.
"I guess it was because Lucy wore one yesterday, I loved that skirt she wore. Did you see it?"
"I did, is that what she's trying to copy? She failed woefully with a straight F"
"What does Lucy even see in her anyways, she's too much of a hot baddie to be hanging out with shrek here"
"That's mean" Jerry said and they all started laughing
"Shut up Jerry, don't make it look like we're doing something wrong here and have the teacher on us" Jojo said shutting him up.
The books I gathered from my locker fell from my hand and some of the boys snorted before chuckling.
"Isn't that Lucy's book? No wonder she hangs around with her"
"I mean if I get a useless, human deformed werewolf to do all my dirty business, I would keep them on a leash at all times. I envy Lucy"
That was not true, Lucy really liked me to be her friend and that was why we're friend.
“More like half baked” Spencer said and the group laughed loudly again.
“Medium rare” someone chipped in and the group laughed again.
“Shut up Spencer before I tell on how you wanted to beat your meat to Miss Abby’s picture during break in your car” Lucy said out of nowhere and my heart leaped with joy.
"Ewww, you did that?" Tatiana, his girlfriend pushed his hand away from her shoulder, suddenly the whole group turned on him.
The school bell rang signaling the beginning of school lessons and Lucy used her foot to push one of the books on the ground to me before walking away.
“Come on Jaz” she said and I hurriedly gathered all the books, closed my locker and ran after her.
“Thank you” I said to her as I finally caught up with her.
"Did you do my assignment?" She asked as she went through her phone.
"Yes" I nodded handing her her books but she was already inside the class so I hurried behind her to get a seat.
We both sat down and she slammed her phone down before turning to me angrily.
"Why didn't you reply my text?" She asked me coldly and I started to stutter while my mind ran wild with lies to give her.
It came up with none.
"You know what, never mind. I got you something" she said and started digging into her bag.
I started to feel guilty, I was hating on my friend for being with the boy I liked, that was awful of me.
As I bit my lip wondering how to apologize, a figure sat in the empty seat next to me.
Caine Creek.
God, my heart started to flutter and I could feel my blood drum in my ears.
I could not control myself as I could not control my mouth.
“Hi” I said to him but Caine ignored me, he didn't even spare me a glance.
I was about to try my luck again before Lucy spoke up. "It's a Swarovski bracelet.... Caine baby, how are you?" Lucy's speech towards me forgotten as soon as she sighted Caine.
She tossed the bracelet on my desk carelessly.
"Hi" Caine simply said to her before looking away.
God, his voice was hoarse with a low rumble.
It stirred something within me.
“Jaz move. I need to sit next to Caine” Lucy nudged me in my rib harshly.
“Okay” I sighed before gathering my stuff.
But Miss Abby choose that exact moment to come into the class.
“Sit your ass down Campbell, quiet down class” she yelled at me and I quietly sat back down in my seat.
But when I turned to look at Lucy, she was seething with rage, her face red and a vein throbbing in the middle of her forehead like it always did whenever she was furious.
I could not do anything about it so I looked away, but I caught Caine searching for something in the corner of my eye.
“Do you need my pen?” I asked him as I noticed what he was looking for.
He stared at me and the pen in my hand.
"I have an extra one" I reassured him but my heart was beating wildly.
His hand stretched and he quickly collected the pen from my hand without a word.
A happy smile danced on my lips as I searched for the other pen in my bag.
It felt like I was breathing the same air he let out during the lesson.
But that smile did not last for long, because Lucy accosted me after class.
After most of the people have left the class, she slammed her fist in my desk, startling me and making me jerk in fear.
"You just had to be a bitch, didn't you?" Lucy said to me in a deathly steely tone.
"What?"
"I see what you're doing, you're trying to steal Caine from me" Lucy accused and I started to shake my head.
"No Luce, why would I..."
"Shut your ugly mouth you stupid ogre. You already told me you liked him" she was seething, while fixing her hair.
"I swear, that's not it"
"You know, I tried to be a good friend to the most ugliest girl in school. I protected you and sheltered you from your bullies and you decide to be a whore and take my boyfriend away From me"
Boyfriend? My mouth dropped open.
"That's right, Caine asked me out and you better start getting comfortable with that. But from now on, stay away from him"
"Luce"
"And I'll let Spencer and the rest explain how much of a jump scare you are and how ugly you look to you next time. And I will let them eat you to your bones" she finished, stood up and left the class without another word.
I hated myself.

I heard a loud whistle and I looked around from where the sound come.I knew it meant danger, I had heard that sound in school many times.My eyes darted round in fear."Hey ogre!!" I heard a loud voice from behind the abandoned house in beside me.Spencer McHaton."Medium rare!!!" Another gruff voice called out as my heart beat loudly in fear."Leave me alone!" I cried out in fear as I hurried away from the lonely road I always took home.As my feet took me hurriedly away, I was not looking at my front until I bumped into a wall, hitting my chest and I fell to the floor, scraping my hands in the process."Where are you running to Princess?"When I opened my eyes, shaking away the thundering headache that was suddenly in my head, I came face to face with the wall had stumbled into.Harper, Spencer's fraternal crazy twin."I don't want any problem please, leave me alone please.

Few blocks from my house, I cleaned my tears and tried to hide the red angry bruises on my arms.When I got home, the door was unlocked as usual but some of the things were missing in the living room, like the Tv and the tables."Mum?!" I called out for my mother but there was no reply."Mum?!"I walked up the stairs to her room to look for her and get an explanation to what was going on in our house.And my father was no where to be found.Not that it mattered because he was rarely at home but it's been two months since I last saw him.As the Beta of the pack , he was always busy but at night when I saw other fathers get home, I always wondered why mine never came back or even bothered calling.When I got into my mother's room, the sight was worse than what I had met in the living room.All her things were packed and her stuffs were labeled in different boxes on the floor."Mum, why is the... What's going on? Why are you packing? Are you giving your things out?" My questions came in

“Hello Mrs Elena, is Lucy home?” I asked Lucy's Aunty who I had met gardening right outside their house.I had come to tell my best friend that I was leaving.Ever since that incident in school, Lucy had refused to talk to me and I was not surprised when she did not come to look for me even when I had not showed up to school in days.So here I was trying to mend broken fences before I left and once again I was met with her absence.“No honey, she went out with that naughty boy again. After messing my sheets up, they leave my house in a mess. Once that stubborn girl comes home she’ll clean this house spotless like a maid. She just gets me mad all the time” Elena said furiously, digging away at the soil.The naughty boy in question: Caine Creek.But I could care less about him now, he no longer mattered to me."Do you know where she went to?" I asked her, helping her with her water can for her garden.“Thank you sweetie. Well, Lucy wouldn't tell me where they were headed but I heard the

"I'll give you a moment to clear out your locker alone. The classes are going on now, so you have enough time to get what you want and leave without any drama" The school principal, Miss Johnson, said to me after my mother told her on the phone that I was leaving school.By now I'm guessing half of the parents in the pack would've heard about the drama between my parents.I told her to plead with Miss Johnson to make my move as stealthy as possible, because I knew how much mockery I was going to get if the other students knew I was leaving."I heard about what was going on between you and the other students," she said behind me as we walked to my locker. "You lost so much weight," she added after I didn't say anything.She knew about it.The whole school knew about my bullying but no one did anything about it, they rather enjoyed it."I'm sorry I couldn't do anything about it, and I'm sorry about your parents" she said."I heard your father found his mate. Do you know her?" She asked

SIX YEARS LATERI opened the door to the house I once left and promised to never come back.But here I was standing in the middle of the empty living room and looking for the one man I swore to hate for the rest of my life.Last I heard, his mate died from a rouge attack in the pack and now my dad was mateless and wife-less.Alone, lonely and drowning himself in work as usual.Karma was a real bitch they said and I was witnessing.“Dad” I called to the man who was lying motionless in his bedroom staring at the ceiling.The house he once abandoned us, and even after we left he never called.“Jasmine, hey.” He laughed happily and stood up to hug me but his movements were slow, he had aged over the last six years.Slowly he let go of the hug but didn't let go of my hand.“How’re you?” I asked him, smiling a little and happy to see him.After my mother remarried, I figured it was time to let go of my grudges and I did.I had forgiven my dad already but I didn't know if I could ever forget

JASMINEThe silence that followed was deafening, almost scaring me out of my position. Caine stood before me, eyes seeing around like he’d just found a lost treasure. “I’m searching for Lucy. Any idea where she might be?” I asked, exchanging glances with the rest of the group. “Errands,” Caine replied. His voice sounded thicker and deeper than the last time we spoke. “Ohh…when she returns please tell her I stopped by,” I said to him and turned to leave. “Jasmine,” he called. I halted in my tracks and turned to him. He seemed to be contemplating approaching me. At first I thought he was seeking approval from the rest of the gang. Hell no. He was freaking Caine Creek. He didn’t need anyone’s approval. He gestured for them to leave, which they did. “You…just show up from nowhere after how many years?” He asked, covering the gap between us. There was no need to be scared this time. I was better than the last time we stood this close. The closer he got, the harder my heart raced. I

JASMINEThe tension between us was undeniable and I cursed myself for even acknowledging it. Caine leaned against the door frame, shirtless with his hands folded across his chest. His eyes scanned me all over again, like he was trying to figure me out all over again. “I’ll wait outside then,” I said to him and turned around to leave. “Maybe you haven’t heard but the pack is not as safe as when you left. We get surprise attacks at any time of the day. People go missing, dead bodies sprawl out of the ground almost every morning yet, no one has answers to these happenings,”“I’ll advise you to come in and wait,” he finally made his point. I won’t lie, the mention of getting attacked at any time of the day sent my heart racing. With a deep, regrettable sigh, I took another turn and made my way into the house. He locked the door and joined me shortly after putting on a shirt. The room was surprisingly clean for a guy like Caine. He wasn’t this arranged six years ago. I perched at the ed

JASMINEThe room erupted into chaos. Everyone shot up from their seats, the chairs screeching as we hurried towards Spencer. Caine led the way, getting to Spencer before the rest of us. “What happened?” He asked, helping him in. I checked outside the door to confirm there was no one else out there. It was clear. “The diner,” Spencer choked on his blood. “He needs to be attended to. Clear the table,” I assisted Caine to carry him. The rest stood, looking at me to confirm if I was actually dishing out orders to them. “You heard her!” Caine barked as we hurried across the room carrying Spencer. Imani and Jojo cleared the table, giving me the opportunity to get down to a work I had learnt on my own and practiced with Bryan. “Take his clothes off,” I told Jojo before rushing to get a bowl of water. After my mother moved in with her new family, her whole attention focused on them, I found ways to defend myself. I learnt how to stand up for myself, defend myself and treat my wounds. I

CAINES POVI stood before the grand mirror in my chamber, my reflection staring back at me, hollow-eyed and unrecognizable. The blue ceremonial robes draped over my shoulders felt heavy, suffocating, as if they carried the weight of every choice I hadn’t made for myself. The deep blue fabric was adorned with intricate silver embroidery, the symbol of my family stitched proudly into the chest. A reminder of the duty I could never escape. The servant attached the last piece of gold ring to my finger and took a few steps away from the mirror. “All set,” he bowed. Today, as per tradition of the house of Creeks, my marriage was to be held in the old traditional ways. Given the kind of line we descended from, our marriage process usually involved various types of rites. First, we would go to the river to get bathed under the moonlight. Also, there was the one of getting the head of an antler from the woods.A third was also mentioned to me, which involved the Sheet's reveal. It was con

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.“He’s waking up,” 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.“Ouch!” 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. “Easy son,” 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. “You’re fine. You’re with family,” he said. Slowly, I let go of my ears and turned to him. He was still standing

LUCY'S POVBryan was serious about leaving Jasmine in the trunk till the following morning. He acted like we didn’t 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. “Is it always this quiet?” I asked, taking the first step to speak since I realized he was bent on saying nothing until Liz woke up. “Not always,” he replied. “Liz 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,” 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

BRYANS POV“Liz, please.” I followed her behind, keeping up with her quick strides as she made her way back to the house. “It’s just going to be for a few days,”“A few days?” she turned to me. “Those…few days…as 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?” 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. “This one time, Liz. I promise to

BRYANS POVI parked the car at the front of the house, leaning back into the chair as I pulled the keys out. “This is my home,” I answered Lucy. She’d 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 that’s who we are. Lucy has always known that I belong to a rogue pack. She just didn’t know what pack it was. Seeing the shock on her face only made me more excited.“I 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.“I did say that. But you should have understood what home I was talking about,” 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,

LUCY’S POVI walked out from where I hurled myself into for shelter, bridging the sweat off my hair. The place was in a mess—smoke 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.“Bryan,” I called, taking the things that obstructed my path off. They were a lot—from 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.“Don’t move. You’ll only make things worse,” I said. I searched around for an easier way through the mess, and that was when I spotted my

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 do—throwing her across the room. “What have you done!” Bryan yelled, taking quick strides across the room. His fingers wrapped around my neck, squeezing it with every strength he had in him. “What did you do to her?” “You should… probably step away,” I struggled to speak. He glanced at Lucy—she was regaining herself from the pieces of wood that shattered on her body, burying her in the pile. “You ingrate!” He cursed. His grip loosened around my neck with force, giving me the chance to take in as much air as I’d been deprived. “Get me out of here!” 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

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 else—chemical perhaps. I could hear the echoes of distant voices before they dropped. Then, everything rushed back in a blur. The memories of what happened—was 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 hands—were strapped to the metallic
MY SECRET MATE: LOST MEMORIES. CHAPTER 141
JASMINE’S POVI slammed my fists against the door, frustration bubbling in my chest. There had to be another way, but I couldn’t see anything in the dim glow of my wolf vision. The rusted gems from the statue were the key—I was sure of it—but going back for them meant wasting time.Caine didn’t have time. And I could feel something in my guts. Something about the whole situation didn’t sit right. My wolf stirred restlessly in my head as I ran my hands around the steel door, searching for something—anything. Still, I found nothing. “Damn it,” 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
