Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Three months later

Alexander Pov

Helpless.

That is how I feel right now, I have been lying down here for as long as I can remember not able to move or talk with anyone.

I can hear movement of people going out and coming into the room I am in, but they don't seem to see that I am making effort  to talk to them.  I am desperate to ask them what is going on and who are they?

I can't remember knowing any of them, or hearing their voices before now.

I do not know why they allow me to lie down here without moving my hands and legs that was seriously stinging me from the what I assume to be pins or injections inserted on it.

Even though I do not know who they are, they seem like good people, they have been talking about trying to wake me up, but I am not sleeping .

I can hear them loud and clear but they don't seem to see that. That I have been trying to move my body so that they know that I am here and can hear them very well.

“He is all completely healed alpha, I don't know what that substance was that you gave to us to administer to him, but it worked perfectly  for him. All visible injuries and burnt on his face and body has completely healed up” I heard one of the men say.

I have come to know and recognize that voice as I always hear it every now and then giving instructions to the other people attending to me.

“Good, so when will he be waking up?” the other voice asked.

One can easily spot coldness, hostility and dread from the voice and I couldn't help but become scared of the voice even though I was yet to see the face behind the voice

“Anytime now alpha, but there is still a little concern though,” my familiar voice said in a timid voice.

“What is it this time,” he barks at the familiar voice which made me angry.

Don't bark at my friend!

I can hear myself yelling from the silence of my lips. I knew the other man is a very bad person.

“I am afraid that when he wakes up, he might not remember anything,” the familiar voice said trembling.

I can feel the sudden quietness in the room as if something terrible had just happened.

Like what the fuck is happening, why is everyone suddenly quite, and what is that familiar voice saying about me not remembering anything.

Of course I remember everything,  how can I not remember, how dumb he must he think I am.  But I know who I am because my name is......Wait.... My name is...... what is my name? I should have a name right, but what is it?

“Teach him to remember who he is when he wakes up, tell him that his name is alexander, the only and only true alpha king ,” I heard the bad man say to the familiar voice.

I wondered what he is talking about me been an alpha king, he must be crazy to think that I am a king.  And why the fuck did he call me alexander?  who the fuck is Alexander? What sort of name is that. Why would anyone want to be called alexander?

When there are better names like sandwich, tapioca, or even papaya, just anything else but not Alexander.

*****

Ashley.

It's been five months since we started living in the woods, and honestly for once we have started enjoying our new home for the first time since we left the pack.

My baby bump has grow bigger, and all the nausea have stopped, and I am honestly begining to enjoy my pregnancy.

Especially now that I have been able to master my skills as an element manipulator.

I can do so many amazing things with my skills, things like opening the earth to bulge a hole, or moving trees from one position to the other, or wishing for rainfall and using my mind to control fire and air.

It's amazing how powerful I feel now that I can defend  oliver, myself and my little unborn child.

I can also now provide our daily meal and have a little extra to sell in other to get cash.

With my powers I can find fight a large crowd of people without using any weapon.

All I need is to use my mind to control any of the elements. Although my mood also plays a very important role.

“I still don't know how to do it” Oliver whined from where she has been trying to learn how to move water from the cup she placed in front of her.

“You mean how to do this?” I asked mind controling the water out of the cup till the water is up above Oliver's head.

“Wow, how do you do that?" She asked in total awe.

I smiled at her mischievously and said  “you mean how I did this?" I said mind controlling the water to pour on her head.

“No, stop, I don't want this,” she said pretending to be angry from the water I spilled on her.

“Oh sorry, will this make you feel better,” I asked while I mind control water from a nearby keg to pour on my head and that made oliver laugh very hard that she was almost choking.

I couldn't help but join in her infectious laughter.

Moments like this makes me thank God that I took oliver with me, I couldn't imagine how I would have survived without her.

She is such a delight.

And oh, how I wished I knew how to use my powers, maybe I would have been able to save my Alexander.

I still think of him every day especially now that I have his beautiful baby growing on the inside of me.

I feel truly blessed to have part of him that I thought I had lost, now I know that he is always going to be with me.

“Do you think it's going to be a boy or a girl,” oliver asked after staring at me subconsciously rubbing my bump.

“I don't know yet, I want it to be a surprise,” I said smiling to her. “But what would you rather have as baby” I asked when I noticed she was a bit indifferent about what I told her.

“I would want a baby brother,” she said cheerfully,

“Oh really, and what will you call him,” I urged her to talk more, to let out her pain if she had any.

“Alexander,” she said sadly.

Even the mention of that name made me sad, but I quickly concede my feelings in other to make the little girl before me happy.

“Why would you want to name your baby alexander?” I asked squatting in front of her so she could see my face, hoping it stops her from crying.

“Because I miss my uncle so much” she said, unable to contain her sadness as tears  flowed down her eyes.

I pulled her into my hands for a hug while trying my best to fight the tears that were threatening to slip from my eyes.

I can't bare for her to see me cry, she has been this strong and happy because that is all I have showed her.

I quickly blinked back the tears and pulled her gently out of my hands so she is looking at me in the eyes.

“I know you miss him, and I am sure he too must be missing you wherever he is right now,” I said to her.

“Is he thinking of you too,” she asked innocently.

But somehow her question created a lump in my throat as a result of unshed tears, but I was quick to clear my throat before answering her.

“I'm sure he is thinking of the both of us, and that he would wish for us to be happy always” I said convincely to the little girl who faked a smile afterwards.

“See,I am happy,” she said showing me her forced smile which I'm sure she did deliberately to make me laugh.

“I'm so happy to hear you say that oliver, I'm so sure alexander would be so proud of you,” I said to her smiling.

“I love you Ashley,” she said hugging me

“I loved you first,” I replied as I had a quick flash back of alexander saying the same words to me.

I loved you first Ashley

Those words bring so much beautiful memories, but why do I feel sad remembering it.

I can't help but wonder if truly he is still out there thinking about me, like I do for him. Is he missing me and  how is he doing?

The thunder roared in the sky while I tried to control my pains.

I turned away from oliver so she doesn't see my tears,  because  this time I want to let myself be consumed in my sorrow.

And as soon as a single tear drop from my eyes hit the ground, the clouds opened and it started raining heavily.

I spread my hands out in the rain, with my eyes shut, while letting my tears flow freely. For once, I wished the rain could wash away my pains.

And when I opened my eyes, my heart almost burst out due to what I saw,  I saw my Alexander standing and smiling with me in the rain, just a few feet away from where I stood.

He was looking so handsome as the rain splatter on his perfect even tone body.

I smiled and gasped unable to believe that he was truly there, then I felt someone touch me and I turned to see that it was oliver playing in the rain.

I quickly returned my eyes back to where alexander was and found that he was no longer there .

He was never there, it was just a fraction of my imagination.
