CHAPTER 98

JASMINES POV

“What does he even mean?” I hugged my father, stilling my trembling body as his hands snaked up my back. The words of the doctor echoed in my ear, forcing the reality down my throat.

“We just have to sit and wait,” my father said.

He walked me to a seat opposite that of Imani, Harper, Spencer, and Jojo. We hadn’t seen each other for quite some time, and I couldn’t tell if their glares were one of suspicion or something else.

On our left, was alpha Morgan and Caine’s brother, discussing with the doctor in low tones. Caine’s stepmother was present too, but due to her heaviness, she was sitting on the chair beside Alpha Morgan.

The rest of the pack members who heard the news were present. Most of them gathered outside the hospital, waiting for an update on the life of their new alpha.

Amidst all these, Lucy was absent.

My phone buzzed in my jacket, and I took it out to answer the call but froze.

“Go ahead,” my father urged me.

It was my mother calling. We hadn’t spok

    JASMINES POVThe world around me felt like it was crumbling as the doctor led us out of Caine’s room. My legs moved on autopilot, my wolf’s growl low and echoing faintly at the back of my head. She too was mourning the loss of the one man who she’d gotten used to.“Jasmine,” my father called as I stepped into the bay. I ignored him, brushing through the little crowd and making my way to the corridor. It was quiet and empty. The cold sterile air felt suffocating, and I clutched my stomach, leaning against the wall. The image of Caine looking at me with unfamiliar eyes had my stomach twisting uncomfortably, my brain feeling it wanted to explode. “How can he not know who I am?” I blurted with tears that followed my words. The muscles in my words felt weak, and I slid down the wall, falling on my butt as tears freely streamed down my cheeks. The door leading into the corridor opened, and the air was filled with the scent of my father. He placed a firm hand on my shoulder and crouched b

    JASMINES POV“I’ll get back to you directly when we have a lead on the car,” the sheriff closed his jotter and pen, signifying the end of our interview. A sigh of relief escaped my lips, a feeling of satisfaction coursing through me as I pushed out of the desk. “Thank you, sheriff,” “No, thank you, Jasmine. Caine will be proud of what you just did,” he extended his hand. I hesitated before locking mine in his. “Yeah,” I blurted. “I guess.”I was escorted by his partner to the exit of the building, where I found my mother standing. She was carrying a child in her arm, patting her to sleep while she paced about the door. I halted, contemplating if I should go ahead or turn around. It was too late, she had spotted me. “Jasmine,” she called, hurrying to the door. I pushed the door open and started walking the opposite way, leaving her running behind me. “Baby, wait,”“Now is not the time,” I mutter, stretching my strides and making them faster. She increased hers as well and caught

    JASMINES POVI was the last to get off the black limousine, taking the hand of the chauffeur who assisted me out. None of these services were paid for by us. All by the stranger. I adjusted my black gown, wriggling my body to fit in properly. “Are you okay?” My mother walked to my side to assist me. She was wearing a red gown, as long as mine, sleeveless, and revealing her curves. We wouldn’t have gone for what we were wearing if we had a choice. They were all delivered to my doorstep. The clothes, the shoes, the car, and the personal chauffeur for the night.“I’m fine,” I closed the door, turning to face the building that stood tall ahead of us. My mother took out the paper, silently reading the address again.“What?”“I’m just trying to confirm that we are at the right place. It’s been a long since we came here, and a lot has changed,” she said, extending her hands to take mine. She wasn’t wrong about the changes. The street that was once quiet and lonely when we occupied this r

    JASMINES POVMy heart stopped at his words. The wine glass slipped slightly from my fingers, but I caught it just in time, my pulse racing like a runaway train. My mother stiffened across the table, her face a mixture of shock and anger.Ezra smirked, clearly enjoying the reaction he’d provoked. “Oh, don’t look so surprised,” he said, leaning back in his chair with a casual air that contrasted the weight of his revelation. “You didn’t think I’d invite you here without knowing every little detail, did you?”“How do you know about that?” I demanded, my voice trembling despite my best efforts to stay calm.Ezra raised an eyebrow, his smile widening. “You forget who I am, Jasmine. I know everything.” He boasted. He was about to drink from his wine glass when he paused. “I almost forgot…you’re not the one who knows me. It’s mother…the hero lady,”“What are you doing?” My mom slammed her glass on the table. “Why did you call us here, Ezra? Are you aware that you’re being haunted by the seek

    JASMINES POVMy breath hitched as the glint of the gun caught the light. The dining room’s tension turned suffocating, and every sound—the clink of utensils, the faint hum of the building—faded into silence.“Ezra!” I screamed, my voice trembling as I rose to my feet, the knife I had hidden now gripped tightly in my hand.My mother froze, her tear-streaked face pale with fear. Her lips quivered, but no words came out. She simply stared down the barrel of the gun aimed at her.“You left me!” Ezra bellowed, his voice echoing through the room. His hand shook slightly as he held the weapon, his face contorted with a mix of rage and pain.“You left me when I needed you the most! You abandoned me like I was nothing! And now you sit here, pretending to care?”My mother’s chest heaved as she tried to steady her voice. “I… I know I made a mistake,” she stuttered. Her eyes left Caine, staying planted on her plate. “So if you’re going to shoot me for a mistake…then go ahead. After all, you are p

    JASMINES POVThe elevator doors slid open, and my father, alongside Rican—my mother’s new husband—stepped into the room. Relief flooded my chest as their imposing figures filled the space. Ezra’s smirk faltered, his grip on the gun tightening as he registered their arrival. “Oh…great. The perfect party. Old father, new father, what a lovely way to get the dinner going,” he smirked. It’s been years since I saw Rican though. I almost didn’t recognize him because his one scanty goatee was now full and spread to the sides of his face. He looked more muscular than the last time we spoke, and I saw reasons why my mother wouldn’t leave him. “Come this way,” my father extended his hands towards me. I grabbed my mother's hand too, and together, we crawled out of our hiding. “Hey,” Rican hugged her. I saw the desire in my mother's eyes to know how they linked up, but this wasn’t the right place or time. “I came late, I guess.” Rican blurted, as his claws extended. “You arrived just in tim

    JASMINES POVThe morning light streamed through the blinds, streaking my walls with rays of soft orange. My body felt heavy, weighed down by the aftermath of last night’s chaos. The tension, the blood, Ezra’s chilling words—it all played in an endless loop in my mind.I stayed in bed longer than usual, staring blankly at the ceiling and willing my racing thoughts to quiet down. My hand instinctively drifted to my belly. The life growing within me was a fragile reminder of everything I had to fight for, of what I couldn’t afford to lose.By the time I finally emerged from my duvet, the house was quiet. The silence was different from last night—not tense, but somber. I could hear faint murmurs from the kitchen, likely my mother and Rican. I hesitated at the thought of joining them, but I wasn’t in the mood for strained smiles or forced small talk.The aroma of whatever she was preparing sizzled into my room through the holes above my door, stirring me out of bed.

    JASMINES POVI didn’t know if I should walk up to him or stand by and watch where he was going. It felt awkward, seeing him him here. He made a turn to the left, leaving my sight immediately. I attempted to go after him but froze mid-way. “We probably shouldn’t be seeing each other at this moment…” I thought. I retraced my steps back to Caine’s room. With a deep breath, I pulled the knob and strode in. I froze at the door when I spotted Lucy. She was sitting at the edge of the bed, tendering to his legs like she owned that part of his body. “Lucy,” I called with a heavy breath, forcing a smile to hide the gut-wrenching pain that struck my heart. “I didn’t expect to see you here,”“Jasmine,” she called in return, slipping out of the bed, being careful enough not to wake Caine. He looked so peaceful at sleep, and I wondered what must have gone down the past two days of my absence. Lucy’s eyes darted to the flask in my hand, and she smirked. “Figured someone had to take care of him

    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

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

    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.

    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
