Chapter 8: Chapter 8

LAUREN……

I ran to my room without waiting for a second. I was so embarrassed today that I couldn't face him at all. I slapped my mouth for its foolishness. Can't it keep quiet? I'm sure this stupid mouth of mine is gonna put me in big trouble one day.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I was hungry but couldn't go down as he was still down there. So I lay down on the bed to wait for him to leave the house. I was sure he wouldn't just stay here all the time. After half an hour I heard a knock on the door, and my heart skipped a beat thinking it must be Jaxon but my assumption went wrong as I heard April's voice.

"Madam, I have brought breakfast for you. Please open the door." Hearing her I rushed to the door beaming with happiness.

"Ohh, thank you so much April. You don't know how much I was starving. You saved my life today. I thought I might die due to hunger." I started munching the sandwich she brought for me along with many things in the trolley.

April didn't say anything, just pushed the trolley inside and settled all the plates filled with various kinds of foods on the table. I settled on the sofa and started having them like a starving woman.

"If you need something, call me. I will be at your service. And Alpha has told me to send his message to you that, He could not make it tonight. He has very important things to handle. And he has specially told you to take care of yourself." Saying that April just scooted from there right away. Leaving me motionless in place.

So I have to live in this big place all alone!

Oh, Goddess, What kind of trouble have I gotten myself into?

Ten days passed in a blur and Jaxon didn't show up. I don't know why but it gives me a kind of strange pain in my heart. My heart yearns to see him. My ears yearn to hear his voice. My hands yearn to feel him. It really confused me why suddenly I felt so attracted towards him. I have never felt this way with anyone, not even with Rowen. Then what's the feeling I feel for him? His presence gives a special kind of feeling to my heart. My heart leaped with joy to see him. I felt safe around him, though I hardly knew him. The most astonishing thing is why his Beast didn't do anything to me. I have heard he killed every girl he slept with and his chosen mates. Then why didn't that beast do anything to me? Is that because I'm not his mate nor did I sleep with him? It can be.

My eyes fluttered open at the sunlight that was peeping through the curtains. I opened my eyes half while stressing my arms. Just then I saw something blurry in front of my eyes. So I blinked my eyes to clear my vision and then I saw two pairs of eyes staring back at me. I jolted awake to see two heads in front of my eyes. I sat straight on the bed clutching my heart with my right hand in fear while looking at the two identical twin boys who were standing before me.

"Who are you? And who permitted you to trespass into my room?" I snapped at them angrily. As I was already mad at Jaxon now these two strangers just barged into my room.

"Whoa! Missy, don't be scared. You are in safe hands. We are not any creeps but Jaxon's brother." They both lifted their hands in the air in a sign of surrender and introduced themselves. Only then did I let out a relieved breath?

"You both are Jaxon's brother?" I asked, pointing my finger at each of them. And they nodded their heads.

"Okay, still, you can't just barge into any girl's room just like that. There is also such a thing as privacy. Don't you understand such a small thing? I think you both looked quite mature enough to know such things." I said observing them closely.

"Yes, we are the same age as yours. And we know about this privacy thing very well. It's just we were way too curious to see you that we could not stop ourselves from doing such a creepy thing." One of the boys explained the matter to me.

"Okay." I nodded my head. "Now as you both have met me, wait for me in the living room. I'll meet you there." They both shared a look and nodded.

"Of course, Sister-in-law." Before I could react they both fled from there leaving me stunned.

Huh! Sister-in-law!

I got off my bed and went to get freshen up and changed my dress as I have an appointment with the doctor. Today she will confirm if I have conceived or not. Coming out of the closet I went directly into the living room. Where I found the twins sitting at the dining table. As soon as they sensed my presence both snapped their heads and greeted me with a smile. And I greeted them back smiling.

I settled on my seat and looked at them closely. Though they were identical twins they have different features. As one has jet-black hair, Forest green eyes, and has a dangerous aura around him like Jaxon. While the other one has chocolate brown hair, smokey grey eyes, and has an angelic aura around him. He looked like a happy, full-of-life person.

"So care to introduce yourself?" I asked, looking at them one after one.

"I'm Jace Salvatore Knight." The smokey grey-eyed boy reached out his hand introducing himself to me. So I gladly accepted his hand.

"I'm James Salvatore Knight." This time the forest-green eyes boy forwarded his hand to me while introducing himself. I thought he would be sitting like a jerk instead of introducing himself. But he's not a bad guy as he appears.

"So, now tell me, what brings you here?" Clasping my palms together on the table I asked them in a serious tone. And Jace flashed a smile at me.

"You have an appointment with the Doctor today, so we came to accompany you. Brother is busy, he can't come so we came here on his behalf." I nodded at him but I felt a pang feeling in my heart. I don't know why I'm feeling this way. I thought he would take time to accompany me today at least. He didn't show up that day either. I sighed heavily and dug into my breakfast. I can't keep any expectations from him. He's nobody to him and the same I'm for him.

It would be foolish to impose expectations on him.

We all went to the hospital after having our dinner. And Doctor took my urine to test. I was sweating profusely sitting there because I was tense about the result. My legs were shaking and I was biting my bottom lip in tension. Suddenly I felt a hand on my hand which made me jump with fear. I snapped my head to find James sitting beside me.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Don't take so much stress." I blinked my eyes, staring at him as he assured me. So I nodded my head at him. And he smiled at me. It was the first time he smiled. And I must say his smile is beautiful but not more than Jaxon's. His smile is really something that can bring joy to your heart. I had to shake my head to shove him away from my mind.

After some time the Doctor came back and sat before me. Her face was blank so it was hard to tell what was the result.

"Congratulations, new Mom to be. You are expecting. You are going to have a baby soon." The Doctor beamed with delight and I sat there like a statue.

I could not react at all. My heart was racing so fast that it felt like it would come out any time. All the time James was holding my hand in his. I felt a light squeeze on my hand which made me look at him.

He smiled at me, "Congratulations, new Mommy." I felt my heart leap with joy and instantly my eyes welled up with tears.

I didn't know what happened to me suddenly, that I felt so much emotion at that time. I felt James pull me in his arms and I let him. Because I was badly in need of support. He wrapped his arms around my shoulder. And I started crying, placing my head on his chest.

I felt another person sitting beside me. And it was Jace. Because I can smell his scent. I felt his hand on my head stroking it. I felt so overwhelmed at that time that I can't express them in words. It wasn't my first time being pregnant but the feeling was too much. At that time I didn't know who the child's father was. But this time I know who the father is. But alas, this child is not mine! Even though I'm his/ her mother.
