Chapter 89: Chapter 89
She gasped with her hand on her mouth and muttered.
“Gerard.’
What? Who? Where?
Who is she calling Gerard? What is she talking about? Why is everyone so weird here in California?
“And who might you be?’
“Aunt Jessie, do you know him? He’s the one who tied my shoelaces.’
The so-called Aunt Jessie came to me and held my shoulders.
Why do these wolves here in California have a habit of touching a stranger’s shoulders?
I pulled her hands off my shoulders. I don’t like it.
What the fuck is going on here?
“It is you.” She exclaimed. “Gerard.’
“Who is who?’ This was hilarious, but I didn’t want to laugh.
“Where have you been, Gerard? Do you have any idea what you put Oceana through? She has been looking for you for the past six years. You can’t keep tormenting her like this. If she did anything to you, please forgive her Gerard. Please and this is…”
“What are you talking about? Who are you and first of all, my name is not Gerard? I’m Ivy Thorne, and I don’t know who you are.’ I kindly pushed her away from me. “Who is Oceana?’
Her eyes widened and someone else came behind her and his eyes were in shock.
I think people are getting drunk and crazy these days.
What is wrong with these people?
“Gerard.’ the young man came up to me. “It’s me, Adolph. Long time no see. How are you doing, Gerard?’
“Are you guys drunk or something? Who are you and why are you surrounding me like this? I don’t know you. Who the hell is Gérard?!’
“Wait, you are not…”
“I don’t know who you guys are talking about? Excuse me.’ I took a step back and began walking away.
“Gerard.’ The young woman ran after me and stood in front of me.
“I know you want to pretend like you don’t know us, but this is Oceana we are talking about. You can’t just deny her like that. She is your mate.’
“Should I call the cops and sue you for transpassing…”
“What are you saying? My name is Jessie and you are Gerard Daciana, Oceana’s mate.’
Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain across my head and fell to my knees and screamed in pain.
“Help! Please, anyone call the ambulance.” She yelled. “Gerard.
The surrounding voices got blurry as I blacked out.
“Gerard, wake up.’
My eyes opened, I stood up and my surroundings were white.
“Please come back to me.” Was the next words I heard.
“Ivy! Ivy!’ I opened my eyes to my families surrounding me with tears of joy as soon as I woke up.
My mom was the first to hug me as she sobbed.
“Thank goodness he is awake. Thank God.’ Diana wept and hugged me as well.
I wrapped my hands around my mom, patting her back.
“I’m alright. You don’t have to be so worried about me.”
‘I am worried about you, Ivy. I don’t want to lose you again,’ my mom cried as my father wrapped his hands around her, giving me some space.
“Don’t worry dear, we are not losing him again. He is our son.’
“I’m glad you are okay. The doctor said you need bed rest.’
“Thanks Diana.’ I nodded and looked over at Amoux, giving me a smiling face.
“Can you all excuse me? I need to have a word with Amoux.’
Everyone nodded and excused the both of us.
‘You got any issues, bro?’
“I need to ask you for a favor.’
“Run it out, bro.’
I sighed. ‘Did you see the couple or whatever that called the ambulance for me?’
“Ummm…I don’t know. They just called the ambulance and as soon as we arrived at the hospital, they left.’
“Did you see a little girl beside them?”
His eyes widened, and then he shook his head.
“No, I didn’t see any of them.”
I sighed.
“What happened? Tell me, bro, why do you look so worried?’
‘What was my former name at the Mackenzie Clan after they kidnapped me?’
“What! Why are you asking that now? It’s been six years…”
“I want to know. What was my former name?!”
“Those barbarians killed our people, they wrecked everyone apart, our cousins, our grandparents, some of our aunties and uncles are in their graves because of their stupid pack. That useless thing that took you away from us. Why do you want to remember the people that killed us and separated us for years? They took you as hostage and maltreated you whenever they like and you want to remember them.’
“I’m not saying I want to recall my life with them. What I’m trying to say is, what is my name? The couple I bumped into today knows me. They acted as if they’d seen me before, and the disappointed looks on their faces made me feel empty inside. I feel like something precious is being taken away from me. I feel like those people were not…”
“Brother, you’ve always been soft-hearted since we were young. I understand you want to know, but don’t think of those people. It will not bring any positivity to your life, so please forget them.’
“Who is Oceana?’
“What?!
“Stop looking at me like I’m stupid. Someone called me a name I know nothing about. The way you are acting, Amoux, is a little suspicious. It’s there, something I need to fucking know. Why is it that wherever I go, someone always calls out to me or grabs me midway? That’s why I want to know who I was at the Mackenzie Clan. What kind of reputation did I attain? What sort of wolf was I to those people? This is quite confusing…”
“Ivy, you need to forget about them. If anyone comes to tell you, tell them you don’t know them. And I’m not acting suspicious or anything and there is nothing I need to hide from you. It’s just that I don’t want you to get hurt again.’
“Stop fucking talking to me like a kid.”
“But that’s the truth…”
“When are we planning the bloody war on the Mackenzie Clan and the realms? I can’t wait to have my claws working. It’s so stiff at the moment.’
“Soon, brother. I can’t wait. This will be exciting.’
“Yes, we will have to kill them for spilling blood on my land and that will be the day I am crowned as the Alpha and king of this pack.” I got up from the bed. “I can’t ever forget the cries and pain of how my father and the others cried so badly. I wish I could remember how he mistreated me...
