CHAPTER 6
Last Updated:
2024-10-10 11:45:08"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 and I knew that I was fed up at that time.
"I can take it from here Miss Johnson" I said as I stopped walking, I was tired of hearing her talk already.
"What?" She almost bumped into me as she had been too engrossed in the gossip she thought she was about to hear.
"I can walk to my locker from here" I told her and she nodded.
"Right" she pursed her lips and stopped walking.
“You don’t want to say bye to your friend?” She called after me as I walked away
“I’d rather not Miss Johnson.” I said to her before adding more steps to my walk.
“Alright, just go clean out your locker. I’ll be waiting for you outside” she said but I ignored her, I was already too tired to talk.
As I cleaned my locker, I saw the pictures of me and Lucy together.
The ones on some of our hikings and small outings, and I noticed something.
I was always behind in every picture and my smiles were forced.
Sighing, I squeezed the picture one after the other in my hand, letting them scrunch into a ball before throwing them in the trash.
"You're finally taking my advice?" Someone said from behind me and my movements froze.
Even inside my sleep l knew that voice.
The reason for my tears these past few days.
The week it took for my life to crumble.
I sighed, ignored him and continued to pack my books from my locker.
He was standing behind me and I was sure I could hear him breathing, he could hear mine and hear my heartbeat I was sure.
“Why are you cleaning that out?” He asked after a while of silence, I ignored him and continued to take out my properties.
I was almost done.
"You're changing schools?" He was right behind me now and my breath caught in my throat.
His smell, his warmth, him.
I mentally slapped myself back to my senses and stepped away from him as gently as I could, before walking away towards the entrance of the school.
"Is it because of Spencer and the rest? I can have them punished if you want" he was walking behind me now.
Why was he trying to help me now, when a few days ago he told me I didn't belong here.
"Is that what Lucy said to you? We're not an item, she just made up stories"
Why would he think I cared? He fucked her after all or did he know that I liked him?
Did Lucy tell him?
Caine just confirmed to me that they were not dating.
Why would she lie to me just to hurt me?
Mrs Elena's words came back to me "She's just been horrible to you"
Was Lucy truly my friend?
"You should be in detention Creek, you are still not off the Alpha's hook" Miss Johnson yelled at him as she saw him coming behind me.
"Can you just talk to me?" Caine's voice dropped to a whisper as we approached the woman.
Miss Johnson quickly saved me as she stepped up between us, stopping him from coming any closer to me.
“Walk away from her Creek, you’re never up to no good” she warned him.
"Miss Johnson, I just need a minute with her" he pleaded and my eyes widened to hear Caine begging to talk to me.
Never in my wildest dreams did I expect that.
"No! Go back to detention or I will have it doubled" she threatened.
Caine ran his fist through his hair in what looked like a gesture of frustration.
"Fuck!" He cussed.
"I'm adding a week" Miss Johnson told him and he stared at her with those cold gray eyes of his angrily.
"Gigi" my mouth nearly dropped as he called her by her real name.
"Two more weeks Creek. Leave now before I call the cops on you. I wonder what the Alpha will say about that?"
They both had a stare off competition before Caine gave up and walked away in rage.
I just stood watching both of them.
Miss Gigi Johnson was the second person to ever stand up for me and it was against my biggest bully.
"Stupid ass punk" she sighed and arranged her suit before leading me to the taxi that would take me home to my mother.
Later that evening, I shut the door of the truck and put on my seatbelt, giving the house I lived in for seventeen years one last look.
I didn't know if I was going to miss it or this pack of the town at all.
As she pulled out, I hoped my father would be standing behind us smiling and telling me goodbye, so I decided to turn and give the house another last look and pray that my wish came through.
But I was met with another surprise.
Caine was at my house, staring at the truck drive away instead of my dad.
Our eyes met each other's and he stared at me for too long, looking like he had something to say.
He made a move like he wanted to run after our truck.
I turned away and never looked back.

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

JASMINEMy eyes fluttered open, leaving me with a blurred vision a few seconds. My ears picked the sound of indistinct chattering coming from somewhere around the dark room. I’ve barely been back here and they won’t let me breathe properly. As my vision cleared, so did my hearing. It wasn’t just chattering. They were moans. Loud and clear. The girl…sounded so much like Imani. But I recalled the tone of the voice that knocked me into unconsciousness. It was masculine. “Right there Jerry,” the Imani moaned, loud kisses following after. Why did she sound like he was torturing her. To mage it worst, they were in plain sight, having sex infront of me. Couldn’t they hold themselves until they got somewhere closed?And what wasn’t I understanding? Imani is supposed to be with Jojo. Or did something change in their cycle of relationships?She went down on her knees, taking in his cock which just slipped out of her vagina. I swallowed, feeling every nerve in my body twisting against the sigh

JASMINEI froze on my seat, my fork clattering as it fell on my plate. Caine Creek! Of all people my father had to choose him? My mind raced, piecing together every awkward moment were spent together since I returned. It seemed like the more I tried to avoid him, the more he got involved in my business. “Father, you can’t be serious,” I objected, pushing my way away from the seat. His brows furrowed, but he kept his voice calm. “Jasmine, Caine is your best shot at getting control over your wolf. You can’t keep depending on…this,” he referred to the wolf guide. “Moreover it’s an honor to have the son of the alpha be your personal trainer,” “What…” I swallowed my next words after my voice took a higher pitch. I pulled my father to a side of the house backing the door and muttered in low tones. “What honor? Caine is so close to Lucy and the last thing I want is getting caught up in some drama,” “Are you looking at what you stand to gain or what training with Caine would cause you?”

JASMINEWhat? Is he insane?I stood dumbfounded, staring at Caine as he looked back at me. This had to be a joke! Yes, a joke, but I found myself wanting it all to be an actual training.“I’m just kidding Jasmine,” he chuckled, sending a wave of relief down my nerves. I swallowed so hard that I feared he heard it. “Really, Caine?” I blurted. “So much of “he’s a changed boy,” I mimicked my fathers tone with a voice below a whisper. I corked a brow as he lifted his face, hanging his belt on his shoulder. “There are rules. First…” he said, his tone firm. “You’ll show up on time. No excuses. Second…you’ll do exactly as I say. When I say run, you run. When I tell you to fight, you fight. Thirdly, every wolf in our age bracket is to get a job. For you..” he delayed, leaving me in suspense. “For me?” “I’ll come up with a job to be assigned to you. Currently there are about thirty-nine trainees with their sub-coaches and head coaches. You’re making them thirty. And tomorrow night, you a

“Answer the question, Imani,” Jojo fired. It wasn’t a scene I enjoyed—watching Jojo being so “alpha-male ish” before Imani. I saw the way she was fidgeting. It was obvious she feared jojo. It was something more than his physical appearance which made him look like a Greek god. “Why would you believe the words of jasmine?” Imani asked. Her courage was building up, and you couldn't help but stare and enjoy the show. The rest of the group joined us at the pool after hearing Jojo's voice. They knew better than to interfere with whatever it was. “I have to get back home,” I muttered , breaking the silence growing at the pool as my work there was gone. “You’re going nowhere until you explain what you said to Imani,” Jojo hurried to my front and stood in my way. I sighed, rolling my eyes away from him. “Go on!” “Don’t…speak to me in that manner, Jojo. You might perceive me to be weak but I am nothing compared to Imani, your…” I didn’t complete my sentence the moment my eyes rested

JASMINES POVI stood before the mirror, staring at my reflection. Time had passed since the last servant came to inform us that the car was waiting. I’d completely lost myself in my reflection. The woman staring back at me was different. Someone I’d long admired to be. I let out a sigh, taking the veil off my face. “Are we ready?” I asked Alyssa who was still gathering a few things from her bag. “Yes…just these little things I have to get them we’ll move,’ he said.I didn’t mind, because I felt like I had all the time in the world. I was willing to stand before the mirror, simply staring at myself and the baby bump that was evident from the white gown I had on. Two knocks landed on the door, and it creaked open. From the mirror, I saw my mother. “Mum,” I called under my breath. She told me that she wasn’t going to make it because she was still taking care of her husband. Seeing her here sent chills down my spine. I strode hurriedly across the room, but she covered more space tha

JASMINES POVI walked into the cemetery where Lucy’s body was buried. Carrying my flowers in one hand and holding Caine in the other. It was a month after her death, and as much as I tried to deny it, I could feel the void in my heart. She occupied somewhere in my heart, despite the betrayal and hatred, and I just couldn’t bring myself to deny that fact. Caine wasn’t in support of my going to visit the cemetery, but I insisted. I had to remind him of Lucy’s parents whom they locked up and weren’t able to pay their daughter a visit at her grave, nor did they have a chance to see them lower her into the ground. She was a villain, yes—but also a human being. “I’ll wait out here,” Caine said. I didn’t argue. We disconnected our hands, and he kissed me before letting me off. Caine was still a work in progress. He was taking on a new personality, one that was completely in contrast to who he was before the accident. His memories were not completely back, but each day, with my presenc

CAINES POVThe next time I woke up, I couldn’t move my hands or legs. I scanned the room area after getting a clearer vision. The smell of wolf’s bane was strong in the air, and that explained why I felt weak. “You’re finally up, welcome to the party,” Lucy drew my attention to her. She was crouched beside Jasmine, and something about that position upset my wolf. He wanted to defend Jasmine, to stand up for her. But our strength was sealed. “Get away from her. Who are you?” I gritted.“It’s so sad that it had to be your memory that was lost. A part of me wished you died that night,” she blurted. “What?” I asked. Then I understood what she was talking about. My accident. “That girl…Elara right?” She chuckled. “She was this close to figuring out. If only she’d been smart,”I groaned, pulling against my restraints. “You killed her!” I yelled. But only a sinister smile played on her face as she moved from Jasmine to me. “You can’t do anything, Caine, not even now. You couldn’t even

CAINES POVThe call dropped.I yanked the phone from my ear, staring at the screen as static hummed in my ears. The connection had been lost.Jasmine’s voice still rang in my head, breathless and desperate.I’m pregnant—with your child.I shot up from my chair so fast it clattered against the floor. My wolf was raging beneath my skin, demanding action, demanding I find her.Just then, a car drove in. I moved to the window to see who it was. Lucy. My eyes drifted to the clock, and it was a few minutes past twelve. The sky was completely dark, and the moon was hanging with a moonlight under the cloud. “She sounded scared…and urgent…” I thought. All of a sudden, my wolf was full of rage. The fragment of memory that I had tried to remember felt like it was fighting its way up. But distractions. Lucy was coming up, and I had to confirm my suspicions. I reached for my phone and sent a text to Beta Joseph, telling him to track my phone and find me if anything happened. I sent the same

JASMINE’S POVThe moment the door shut behind them, I let out a shaky breath, my body sagging against the chair. My arms ached from the restraints, my head pounding from exhaustion, but none of it compared to the sharp pain radiating through my stomach. The warmth of my blood soaked into my dress was a terrifying reminder of just how much danger I was in.I glanced at the table where Lucy had tossed her phone. It was my only chance.My eyes drifted back to the door after I heard a sound. I thought they were coming back, so I curled back into my tears. After a few seconds of waiting, and no one came through the door, I let out a heavy sigh, staring at the phone. Desperation fueled me as I forced my body forward. I fell from the chair and crashed my face on the floor. Shock coursed through my face, sending my head and my brain pulsing with the taste of blood that circulated in my mouth. I ignored the pain, keeping my eyes focused on the phone that lay on the table. I started crawlin

LUCY'S POVI slammed the brakes, drifting the car out of the garage. I saw Caine standing at the edge of the hallway through the rear mirror. His gaze was fixed on the car, his body still as I drove off. I knew he was getting suspicious, and it was only a matter of time before he came searching or digging for answers. I drove into the silence that filled the night, a clear contrast to the storm of thoughts that raged in my mind. I’d asked for dinner with them because I started noticing the low murmuring when I wasn’t looking. They were getting suspicious, questioning my whereabouts and my lateness to the events and important meetings. I also noticed how distant I had become due to the plans Bryan had and the hitches we experienced over the month. Recently, a few days back or so, Adrian went on a hunting spree, killing tons of humans and werewolves. According to my parents, he was facing the likelihood of the breakout of another disease all because he hadn’t found someone who was

CAINE’S POVThe silence that filled the room was suffocating. The way all eyes drifted to me, I knew I shouldn’t have uttered those words. I took a little drift away from Lucy’s stare, traveling my eyes around the room. The eyes of others carried a heavy weight, like a secret, lurking behind them. I made sure I observed all before returning my gaze to Lucy. Unlike others, and unlike the first time the question was asked, she was smiling. What changed?Wasn’t she curious to know what changed?”“Go on, Caine. Why don’t you tell us? Are we supposed to be expecting someone else,” she asked again. The rest returned to their meal, the forks clanging softly against their plates. Even their eyes were buried into their plates, and it felt like they were expecting some kind of outburst of something—a quarrel perhaps. “Are you okay mate?” Harper nudged me, Snapping me out of my zone. I forced a smile, nodding hurriedly.“Of course. I just didn’t spot Joanne in time. My sight I guess.” lie
MY SECRET MATE: LOST MEMORIES. CHAPTER 155
JASMINES POVThe light shuffling of feet and the muffled voices stirred me up from my sleep. Standing at the edge of the room Bryan, talking with Adrian. They were discussing in lie tones, but Bryan seemed to be angrier. “You led them here!” He yelled, pushing Adrian. For reasons best known to Adrian, he wasn’t getting angry just like Bryan. He maintained his cool, taking the blows and the blame. “Deal with it,” Bryan snapped. “It’s already been dealt with,” Adrian said finally. My vision blurred for a few seconds, and I blinked several times to get a clearer view. Silence fell in the room after Adrain spoke, safe for Bryan’s heavy breathing. “You what?”“They’ve been dealt with. And Lucy drove off with their bodies to bury them somewhere far,” he explained. With the I saw things, Bryan wasn’t in support of that. He took two steps forward, and the third step placed him directly in front of Adrian.“You killed the cops?” My breath hitched after hearing what the offense was.
MY SECRET MATE: LOST MEMORIES. CHAPTER 154
CAINES POVIt was the second month since the arrest of Lilian. My father has been silent on the progress being made by my uncle and the rest of the investigation team—that’s if progress was being made. On the other hand, Natasha has been nothing but helpful. For reasons best known to her, she only let me discuss things I’d planned for and my father eventually left. She stood in as my therapist. On the other hand, Lucy is awkwardly absent from the house. She leaves so early and comes back really late at night. When I asked, she attributed the return of her parents and her brother whom the police department was after. I walked out of bed, moved to the mirror, and ran my fingers through the bandage on my head. Two months had come, and gone, yet I still couldn’t get an answer to the most bothersome question in my mind.Why Jasmine?A few days ago, I asked my father. I wanted to know why she was the only name that kept recurring in my head. I noticed the way he tried to avoid the qu
