Chapter three.
Jasper's POV I never expected this to happen, especially not now. Just as I was about to sit down, my doctor, John, walked in—my bestie. "Good morning, Jasper. How are you?" he asked, looking at me with concern. I couldn't find the words to respond. "It's about Alexa, isn't it?" he said, reading my expression. Of course, he could tell. My frustration over Alexa's disappearance was written all over my face. With her absence, there's a strange sense of emptiness, but it also gives me space to breathe. Yet, the wolf inside me is restless, craving to tear apart whoever is responsible for her disappearance. "Tell me, John, how did this happen? How did I end up mating with someone other than my true mate?" I asked, my voice laced with frustration and confusion. John approached me, guiding me to sit down as he began examining me—starting with my eyes, nose, and mouth. His frown deepened, and I gave him a questioning look. "Someone used hypnotism on you, buddy. As a witch, I can confirm it. Can you recall how it happened?" he inquired. "That night, after the last hunting season, I was at home. I heard noises and thought it was Alexa coming to visit, but it was Olivia, her best friend," I paused, taking a deep breath. "I was caught in the act of it, John. I still remember… this look in her eyes when she saw me… she looked so disappointed John. I've fucked up everything haven't I?” I said loudly and John sighed to himself. “It's a horrible thing to get caught in the act, I don't think this is something anyone can easily move on from.” “I just need to find her first. Then I can explain everything. I wouldn't cheat on her if I was in the right state of mind. Obviously, I wasn't so this happened.” “Toughen up like a man, Jasper. Apart from finding Alexa, you need to find out why you were with Olivia.” John said with a hand upon his nose thoughtfully. “Okay, but didn't you just say it was hypnotism?” “Why did it happen? Who did it? All these are the big questions.” John said while folding his arms. “You're right,” I said. “But at the same time, all I want to do is to find Alexa.” “You're repeating the same thing that you've said, Jasper.” John said in one breath. “That's because that's all I want. I want her right next to me. If only I can see her just once and talk to her, she'll understand —Even if she doesn't, at least I'll know I've tried.” “Give me an object that represents her or an item she uses most. I can try my powers on it and sees if I can try my location spell.” “You can do that?” John gave me a smirk and got up to his feet. I stood up to my feet as well and held his by the shoulders. “You really can do that?” “What do you think?” John asked with a stretched up eyebrow. I decided to believe what John was saying. “I trust you. I will go to my room and bring one of Alexa's shirt which I forgot to give back to her.” “Alright — of course.” John said and waited in my office while I left to my room and brought the fabric. I handed it over to John and he looked at my table that were filled with papers— all very important files. “I'm going to need the table,” he said and I nodded, packing the files and placing them in the cupboard. “This is good,” I told John who was glad at the now empty table. He pulled his hand into a fist and slowly walked to the table, filling it with sand. I had no idea where the sand came from but it filled up the table completely. John then took the cloth from my hand and placed it on top the table that was filled with sand. Then he moved his fingers in some sort of assortic way and I saw the sand moving over and on top the shirt. “This is beautiful,” said John as he did weird things with his hands. Finally, he let go of it and looked at me squarely in the face. “What did you find out?” I said “Nothing, her scent is long gone from the cloth. I'm sorry.” “That's okay John, I'll send people to look for her.” “You're not certain that they will find her,” “Tell me if you find another cloth with Alexa's scent, I'm sure I can get it—” “—You’ve done enough, John. As it is, I have nothing else to bring in front of you as evidence of Alexa's scent. I've got nothing else.” I said with a rising frustration within me. John used his magic to take away the sand he placed on my office table. Within seconds, the table was as clear as it was a few minutes ago. “You look busy,” John said as he looked at me, with his hands in his pockets. “Actually, I'll need to get busy now,” I said as I started to pick the files in the cupboard and lay the stacked up ones on the table first. “Then I'll check on you another time, Alpha.” With that, John left my office. I picked up the cloth Alexa had left behind and brought it to my nose to sniff. “Clearly, her scent is still on the cloth so why can't he find her location on it. That fraud.” I muttered under my breath. I got myself busy with work but I couldn't concentrate on what I was doing. Eventually, I decided to do something about what was bothering my heart. I rose up from my office table and stepped out of the office. “Someone,” I called out and watched as a few guards turn to me in attention. “Alpha,” two of them came to me. “I need only one of you,” I said truthfully, and one of them bowed and turned away. “How can I help you, Alpha.” The guard said calmly. “Bring me Olivia.”Jasper's POV “Alpha, you asked of me.” Olivia said wittily, her head bowed down like a saint. “Yes I did.” I said firmly. I was about to speak but she beat me to it. “You don't have to crown me Luna yet, I know you are still grieving for your mate.” My anger increased. What the hell was the wretched talking about? I felt like ripping her to shreds at the moment, but that in itself was too merciful for her. “Do you know who you are talking to and what you are dealing with, Olivia. How the hell do you say such thing with so much confidence?!” Olivia looked lost which made me even angrier. How did I end in bed with a woman like this one? I was really out of my mind. “What do you mean, Alpha? Do you mean to say you are not planning on making me your Luna?” “Why the hell would I even think of doing that? I went to bed with you only because of your hypnotism. What makes you think I would choose you on a normal day?!” Olivia gasped in shock and held her hands together in front of h
Alexa's POVI 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 s
Chapter Six Alexa's POV “If you truly care about me you will not go.”“Mom!”Nora was at it again, and I felt engulfed in my own feelings. “Except you choose that strange man over me, you may leave.”“Mom that's not what I want, believe me. 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
Alexa's POV“I don't think I have seen you around before, miss…”“Alexa, sir.” I cut in firmly. The man seemed to look at me as though he hadn't seen me before, and this was true. It was my first time meeting him. “I recently moved into the pack with the help of my friend, Shirley. 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
Alexa's POV“I'm really going to miss you, Alexa.” “Don't be like that, you know I'm going to visit. You are a to-be god mother you know?” I said as she broke away from the embrace. 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
Alexa's POV “So it starts with me falling in love with a guy and then the guy happened to not be the one for me and so I decided to move to a place good for me. 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
Alexa's POV The next day, I stepped out of my room early only to bump into a tall tanned man who seemed to pick up offense against me for bumping into him. “I'm sorry,” I said. “I was not looking where I was going properly. 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
Alexa's POV “So Alpha, this is the end of the border. I wonder why you brought her here, our men are tracking rogues and killing them. 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
