Chapter 49: Chapter 49

Ashley

“Ashley, Ashley” I heard Oliver call out to me, I woke up in a panic to see that I had fallen asleep on the floor.

“Oliver, how are you feeling?” I asked as I was excited to see that she was doing better.

“I'm doing great thank you,” she said and I must admit for a moment there her voice sounded like music to my ears.

I reached out to her to check her body and saw that her injury was almost healed up as there was just a little scratch on the surface.

I couldn't tell how long I have been sleeping but was glad that we were s safe.

“Where is the baby?” Oliver asked as she frantically looked around the woods.

Her question made me remember that Andre was with me earlier, I panicked as I quickly got up and searched around for the baby.

I went searching the nearby woods to see if he had somehow magically crawled there.

But there was no sign of the baby. I was about to scream my head off when I saw the brown she-wolf carrying the baby.

She was looking like someone in pain, as her movement was very slow, on a closer look I noticed there was old blood that had turned brown on her leg.

No wonder the slow movement, but she appeared to be alright the other night I asked her to go search for Andre.

What happened to her and how did she carry Andre from me without me noticing?

I panicked as I saw her using her mouth to carry the baby, she sensed my distress and quickly dropped the baby for me to see that the baby was not in any way harmed.

I quickly ran and carried the baby who seem happy and was wearing a different set of dry clothes.

“Thank you, I said happily to her as I felt joy once again from being reunited with my son.

When I noticed she was about to turn away and head back into the woods, I was forced to ask her the one question that has been bothering me.

“Please, if you don't mind, who are you? you have been very nice to me, is there anything I can do to repay your kindness?” I asked the she-wolf.

She hesitated a bit as if trying to decide if to reveal her real identity or not. But after some time I watched her transform from her wolf form into a familiar face, and it was none other than Grace.

Aunty Grace from Alexander pack.

I was so surprised but very happy to see her again, even though I felt she has always been sort of around me.

I gasped unbelievably as I quickly ran towards her to support her after I noticed that she was going to pass out.

I supported her to lie down on the floor, after handing my baby to Oliver who was watching the whole event with keen interest.

“Who did this to you, I asked amid tears, as watching her in such a pitiful state broke my heart.

She was looking very different from the grace I use to know, she was looking very frail and pale. I quickly checked her body to see that she had an old injury that had been infected.

One could tell that she has had her fair share of misfortune, from the roughness of her skin.

Even though she was looking weak, very weak, I could see her struggling to say some words, but her voice was very faint so  I pressed my ears down to her mouth to hear what she was trying to say.

The only word I could hear her say was “Alexander is...” before she stopped talking, I quickly checked her pulse to see that she was still alive but just unconscious.

My heart skipped a bit when I heard her mention Alexander's name. Did he do this to her? Even though there was this part of me that felt that Alexander could never do such a thing, I still could not push the possibility entirely behind me.

But how did she escape from Derrick? and how come she never tried communicating with me all this while.

Why didn't she tell me when I got back to the pack that she was the one that saved me from Jessica while in the woods.

Many questions were flooding my mind as I look speechlessly at the weak Grace lying helpless on the ground before me.

I knew I had to try to get her some clothes to cover her naked body,  and possibly get some sort of medication to treat her infected wood and maybe some food.

This only means that I have to go back into Jason's pack, as it was the closest place to get the things I needed urgently.

“Oliver no matter what, you do not leave here,” I said to Oliver who was looking better by now.

She nodded her head out of fright and  I very could understand her fear. Nevertheless, I was not going to leave them unprotected.

So I commanded the earth around us and the trees starts coming together to provide a shield around them.

“I will be back soon, take care of the baby,” I said to her as I squeezed myself through the woods and starts running back to the Jason pack.

Kai

While we were still fighting against derricks rogues, one of my warriors sent a mind link to me that Alexander had killed the pack alpha.

And soon out of fury, the pack warriors joined the fight. The battle soon turned into a very bloody one as everyone starts fighting for survival.

Soon we were joined by Alexander and the remaining of my men and that moved the odds back in our favor.

Alexander and I fought side by side and I must admit that this was becoming the best battle of my life.

Where is Derrick, he asked me after we had succeeded in killing all the men around us.

I looked around to see that derrick was doing his best to fight off the pack warriors that were on him.

I pointed his position to Alexander and we both started to head towards him, but soon got distracted by more pack warriors that instinctively attacked us.

Ashley

I got to the pack house as fast as I could to see that the entire pack had been thrown into a blown full battle.

There were lots of dead bodies on the floor as the whole place became too rowdy to know how to find my way to the pack house.

Left with no choice I created a whirlwind so strong that it picked up anything in its path.

People ran away from the mere sight of it, and that gave me the opportunity I was looking for and I ran into the pack house.

The whole pack was in disarray as the whole place was looking scattered with broken glasses on the floor. I managed to get to the packed kitchen and there I found the first aid kit box that was hung on the wall, I forcefully pulled it out.

I opened the fridge

After which I headed straight to the room I was given when I first came here. As soon as I opened the door, I was welcomed by a large number of frightened-looking slaves and omega.

My sudden appearance at the door made some of them gasp in fear,

I want some of my clothes and my baby clothes I said to them and they hurriedly pushed out the maid that was previously assigned to me.

She quickly put together some clothes and a few of my baby clothes and handed the bag over to me.

I closed the door and head straight to the exit door,  I was surprised to see Alexander fighting close to the entrance.

He too notices my presence and soon our eyes held each other in some few Bollywood moments.

Before now, there was this part of me that felt that he could not come to look for me because he was probably sick and that he might have become handicapped due to injuries.

Seeing him looking so perfect and healthy somehow confirmed my suspicion that he has indeed moved on with his life.

If he thinks I am going to beg him to accept me or my baby, then he is in for the shock of his life.

My attention became divided as soon as I noticed that the fight was gradually moving closer to Alexander who seen to have forgotten that there is a battle going on behind him.

When I saw a warrior attempting to strike Alexander with a sword, I spontaneously commanded the ground to open to swallow him up.

The loud screaming from the warrior made Alexander turn around. But As soon as I noticed Alexander turned, around to see what had just happened.

I sized that opportunity to run back into the pack house to look for alternative means of existing the pack house.
