OLIVIA'S POV"WHAT!" I tried to wrap my mind around what Jane just said .She just got back from Alexis and you know the person at the hotel and she was gisting me about something that had gone down there while we smoked.I had been craving a stick off late and when I had bumped into Jane reading a magazine and having a pack to herself I had reached for the box myself pulling out a stick and lighting it up watching the musky smoke rising as I puffed it out to the air.It was unhealthy for the child so they said and it was funny. Jane didn't try stopping me when I reached for the box or even when I reached for the Zippo lighter.It was a cold evening with the temperature of the room lower than it usually was.I could feel my pulse racing as the clock ticked, my heart kept faster at the bit of information just dropped.As much as I had tried telling myself I wasn't so committed to whatever we both shared, the thought of him still flickered in my mind and this time it did with intense jea
NATHANIEL POVImagine Dragons "Radioactive" played from the radio of the black tinted Rover where I was hidden, perfectly camouflaged not just from the world but from her as well.It had been an hour and a half and there was still no sign that they were at the mall as Jane had told Alexis.I wasted no time getting into comfortable clothes before heading to the mall after copying the location of the mall from Alexis' phone after he slipped into the shower.Without much regret I knew prying into Alexis' phone was a bad thing to do but I did it anyway, he would be mad at me of course but I was certain he wouldn't mind me doing this as well.He had called me immediately after he got out of the shower and I told a white lie that I was down the road trying to get us lunch.Literally, I wasn't lying to him …right there on the chair was a lunch of Taco's I had planned to give to him as an offering for my sins when I got back.Three hours was encroaching when I heard a knock on the window s
OLIVIA'S POVTHE Mall was filled with the noise from people and running children, soft music played over the speakers as we took the escalator.For the next half an hour that passed we went around the groceries section filling our trolley with edibles as we talked and chatted away minutes out of our life.Jane's phone rang again the third time that afternoon, by then we were getting a few perishables and some other baby things I would be needing in the future month.She muttered a word under breath I couldn't hear as she picked the call. I couldn't make out what they were talking about but apparently the two love -birds were involved in quite a long conversation I didn't want to be involved in so I walked away to another part of the wall.I saw two pregnant women walking into a room holding a gym mat. I got curious and walked towards the door that was left open.Walking toward the door, I stopped by the large glass wall and stared at myself for a while. My other self looked sick an
NATHANIEL'S POV"You should have just let me approach her ." I grimaced as we drove fast a few trees laying on a straight on both sides of the road.I was still mad at the fact that she was pregnant and seemed it fit not to tell me about the existence of the child, our child.What if I had not come down to Mexico for this break or decided it upon myself to go somewhere else. I thought to myself.Alexis had remained quiet all through too, he knew too well that speaking would definitely ignite the whole issue and so he stayed mute and listened to the reporter over the radio.I was mad at everything including myself, mad at the fact that she had done this and the truth actually when I thought about it deeply would be that she had no choice.Was that a good excuse the good side of my heart was trying to give her?I scoffed at the thought…"You are driving too fast, man." Alexis said.It was the first words he had said since about One hour, twenty- five minutes and ten seconds. I knew t
NATHANIEL POV"YEAH, We' d be expecting you." Alexis said as he dropped the call he stared at his phone for a minute before looking at Nathaniel."They would soon be here mate Alexis said ."l sat looking at him, the fact remained that I didn't remember anything at least nothing that had happened beyond the twenty minutes we've spent in the wood.It took a lot of words and a picture to convince me that we were friends and even with the picture clutched in my hand."Can you tell me what happened." I askedAlexis spent the last few minutes trying to explain what had happened, when he was done in had few idea of what had happened and also a few about who I was."I was an Alpha."My body stilled for a split second. A tight sensation wrapped around my lungs—a mixture offear and vulnerability—but I didn't want to him to know how scared I was.The truth was, at that moment I didn't feel the need to trust anyone or anything, it was because of a reason I couldn’t even fathom, I couldn’
OLIVIA'S POVI COULDN'T believe my ears no matter how I tried to believe what I was hearing wasn't real, the phone rang as soon as we got home and when Jane stared at the caller ID it was Alexis calling again.She rolled her eyes looking at me before picking it."What?" She sounded shocked, her hands trembling.I wondered what the matter could be as I pressed my ears to the back of the phone hoping I could hear what they were talking about but I clearly couldn't.She placed a hand on her chest as I could feel it beating faintly."What could the matter be ?" I thought to myself.When she dropped the call I could see the look of shock on her face."They just got involved in an accident."I felt something grabbed my heart, pulling it completely loose from my chest as it dangles half way still connected by nothing than a few vein and capillaries it was one thing for my child to have a father to that wasn't aware of his existence but to have one that was dead that came with a whole differ
NATHANIEL'S POVI took the phone from his hands, my fingers trembling, to be honest I didn't know what to expect and the amnesia was eating at me deeply in my chest."Hello?" The voice came from over the phone and it came with Uncertainty,as if it like I was it was also confused.It was feminine and rang a bell in my heart, as a matter of fact I felt my heart being clefted to the voice in two ways – Both good and bad."Hello." I replied.Immediately I heard nothing but the buzzing sound of the phone repeatedly, as it appeared as though the call was being left unattended to.I kept on saying the word "hello" repeatedly hoping that somehow the caller would come back to the call and perhaps have a more meaningful conversation than just saying hello.Who was she? I thought to myself wondering how it took just one voice to get me unraveled.Why was she not speaking?A lot of questions flashed across my mind as I tried so hard to get the answer behind the greatest mystery I had gotten ye
OLIVIA'S POVDOES Chaos best describe the situation of my heart, I felt it racing deep in my chest as my heart beats came out heavy and loud i fear he might hear it over the phone.As his deep voice touched my ears from over the phone, I shivered from the sound.I could feel my hands trembling to hold the phone to my ear. It had been a long time since I heard his voice. As a matter of fact I had heard his voice just once in my life but it felt like something I was used to hearing every time.My mind creeped down to the lowest point and took me to the lowest point with it. A point where all I felt was darkness and nothing else.My breasts tightened as fear ran a languid path down my nerves, I tried swallowing the lump in my throat and pushed the breathlessnessaway.It was the first time I was hearing his voice in months yet it did a lot to rip every single guard I built around myself and tore it down in shreds."Hello?" His voice came again this time deeper with uncertainty…"Hello,
