Chapter 8 An Escape

Mrs Chantal's words became even more tormenting for Rasima. It broke her more than the doctor's results had done to her.

With furrowed brows, she scoffed. "What? Are you okay, mum?"

"Well, isn't that the only explanation? You were at the party that day, and to think you had actually passed out when Joelle did. The next morning, you woke up sick and here we are. Don't forget I told you Joelle's babies were missing. It's believed she had transferred them to someone else for safety. So, what if she had transferred them to you, Rasima?"

Rasima wriggled her hand from her mother's. She left the bed and began heading for the door.

"Where are you going?" Mrs Chantal called out, but Rasima gave no reply as she left the room.

Mrs Chantal went after her but didn't try talking to her as there were nurses around. She waited for them to get a quiet place before pulling her back.

"Listen to me, Rasima! What are you doing?"

"How can you bring up such assumptions, mum?" She turned and yelled at her. "Why on earth would Joelle transfer her babies to me?!"

Mrs Chantal looked around to be sure there was no one in close range.

"You need to watch your tone. Moreover, I'm only spilling the truth. Since you're so sure you've not been pregnant for the past two months, it's only right that the babies belongs to Joelle. Can't you see the coincidence?"

"Well, I don't care! It...it can't be possible. There's no way I'm pregnant with those babies. For God's sake, mum! I'm not even wolf and I'm only here for a visit. So, of all ladies present,why would Joelle give the babies to me? Did she lost her mind?"

"Rasima..."

"For her sake, and the sake of these babies she's been trying to save, I hope this isn't true, because there's no way I'm getting pregnant for a wolf. What the hell? The very people I hate?! I swear to God, I'm getting rid of them".

"Rasima...!"

"Just let me be!"

Angrily, she flounced out, while Mrs Chantal stood tiredly.

Getting home, Rasima found Kylie in the sitting room. But she barely spared her a glance as she stormed into her room to round up her arrangements.

Now, she had even more reasons to leave. To hell with the unborn babies or whatever they were.

Mrs Chantal came in just immediately and wad stunned when she found her arranging her luggages.

"Don't tell me you're still leaving, Rasima" she scoffed.

"Of course! Coming here in the first place was a big mistake. I should've never listened to you", she answered bluntly.

That hurt Mrs Chantal,but she decided to let it go.

"You know you can't leave. If you're truly pregnant with Joelle's..."

"Well, I'm not!" Rasima yelled.

The thought of being pregnant not just for a witch, but for a wolf as well was driving her nuts. God! She could feel the anger deep in her veins, the thought of it alone irritated her.

She booked a cab when she was done and began going out with her luggages.

"Rasima, you need to stop this. You can't just go", Mrs Chantal grumbled as she followed her out, but Rasima wouldn't listen.

Her flight was in an hour time and she'd rather wait at the airport than have to wait there at home. She swore never to come home again; never to deal with the wolves again.

She got out of the house where her cab had been waiting and got in.

"Are you really doing this? Rasima!" Mrs Chantal called, but Rasima ignored her and went into the cab.

"To the airport, please", she said to the driver who zoomed off right away.

The two doctors were in the pack lounge, awaiting the arrival of the Alpha. They had both met coincidentally with the same information. So, they waited patiently for the Alpha. And soon, Alpha Jamin arrived, his beta behind him.

They lowered their heads and began to hope their information wouldn't bring more trouble on them.

"Good day, Alpha", they bowed, standing on their feet.

Alpha Jamin took a seat, being impatient. His beta had already given him a clue on the reason for their visit.

"Tell me what you know", he demanded, his hand touching his jaw.

The doctors looked at each other, wondering who would go first.

"Um..." The first doctor began. "A young woman - Chantal - that I know very well, came in this morning with her unconscious doctor. I ran a blood test on her and discovered she's been pregnant for two months. But the lady in question was so confused and insisted she wasn't pregnant. She sounded hundred percent sure and had even gotten mad at me."

The second doctor took over. "They transferred to my hospital for a scan and while on it, I truly saw the babies - twins. But as usual, the lady was still confused and insisted she wasn't pregnant. Now, considering the case of Joelle's missing babies, I found it suspicious and began to think the babies might have been transferred to her".

Alpha Jamin's heart fluttered, he had to force himself to remain calm.

"What do you know about this woman?" He turned to his beta.

"Well... Mrs Chantal has been a known member of this Pack. But the daughter being referred to is known as someone who doesn't possess any trait of a wolf. You've actually met her - at the party. While making an entrance, you had stopped in front of her and questioned why she didn't bow like the others".

Alpha Jamin remembered.

"Also, this same lady had passed out during the party, same time Joelle did. So, I think the doctors suspicions might be right", his beta concluded.

Alpha Jamin became uneasy and stood up. Was that for real? His babies had been found?

He paced tho and fro the room, trying so hard to believe it.

"Gather some men and go quickly to her place", Jamin instructed. "I need her here immediately".
