Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 84

*****Erika's POV*****

“Some bad people?” The doctor brows furrowed deeper.

“Yes, doctor. Is my brother alive? Did he survive?” That was more important than any other question the doctor was asking.

“Yes, he’s alive, but we almost lost him due to the extent of the injury and the outrageous amount of blood he lost. This regular happenings in your home, Alpha, have you thought to find out who’s behind all of this? I mean first it was your father, then you and your friends, now your brother. Who’s after your family, Alpha?” He seemed genuinely curious.

I sighed, staring at him. I was trying my best but I was just one person, moreover, I had no clue to who this person might be. If I did, I would have tracked them down and dealt with them.

I was suspecting Elder Grigshade but for some reason, I felt he was not evil. He might possess his bad sides but I was almost certain those bad sides did not include coming after my family or knowing who did.

Though I remembered a statement he had made concerning my rule as Alpha, he had said he did not want me to end up like my father, did this mean that he knew something? I would like to understand what this was all about.

“I’m sorry Alpha, if you think I am overstepping my bounds, just that as your family doctor and friend, I am just expressing…”

“It’s okay, doctor. I understand your concern and care, and honestly, I appreciate it. I have no idea who these people were yet but with my coronation event, I had been really busy. Now that is out of the way, I would do my best to make sure I did not relent in finding who’s behind this.” I told him. “You said my brother’s alive?” I wanted to be sure I had heard him right the first time.

“Yes, he’s alive, but we had to put him on morphine to keep him sedated so his body can heal faster.” He informed me.

I nodded, relief flooding me. “I understand doctor, thank you so much.”

“You’re welcome, please endeavor to always stay safe and for now, go with security at all times, Alpha.” He advised.

“Yes, I will. Thank you. When can we see him?” I was already standing up from the chair, I could not wait to go tell Kat and Paula, especially Kat this news. The night had been tough, but it ended well.

Jace was alive, he was receiving treatment but he was alive. He had survived two bullet wounds and a knife wound, he was a fighter. I was so relieved, the fear was gone. Now, I just needed to increase the search for whoever that was behind this.

We walked out of his office together, when we got to a particular room, he stopped. “I’d like to check on a patient in the room. Have a good night, Alpha.” He bowed.

“You too, Alpha. Thank you once again.” I left him and walked ahead to go meet Kat and Paula, they both became alert immediately they saw me.

I knew they were gauging my face, trying to get the truth from my expression. I would not keep them in suspense that much.

“What did he say? Is he alive?” Kat went out Paula’s comforting hold to come grab my hand.

“I saw two guys. Paula and I. We spotted them first before they spotted us, they were looking for something or maybe someone.” Kat put in.

“Jace. It was obvious they were looking for Jace and if I am to guess, I think he was kidnapped.” Paula pointed out.

“That was my thought to. But he had left without the notice of anyone, and if he took that short cut, how come they had known where he would be?” I aired my confusion.

“Maybe he had been spotted by someone from this pack, and this person had alerted these people.” Kat reasoned.

“But how did this person know he would take a short cut? He had done it to maintain a certain degree of keeping his presence less known since the Blackwood family is known in the whole of Fangoria.” Paula looked at Kat and I as though one of us would answer her question.

“What if this person had followed him? And then placed a call when they saw him take that route.” Kat guessed.

“You might not be far from the truth but we have to be sure. This number’s location is not on, Jace had said that.” I told them.

If the location was not on, it was going to be difficult trying to track whoever this person is, unless they would ever switch it on again. That was the only hope. But then again, who was this person who had alerted these people of Jace’s traveling?

When I raised my eyes to see the person standing at my door, it suddenly clicked in my brain. “Guards! Arrest her.”
