The Alpha's Angel (The Alpha's destiny book 3)

Chapter 4

Jace’s POV

I have been back two days now and still I haven’t met the new girl yet because she has been in a comatose state ever since the night that she was supposed to shift. 

One week and two days is a long time for someone to be out. Alex cast a spell on her to make sure she didn’t die from malnutrition. He said she should wake up soon. But his words didn’t seem to comfort Killian at all; the man has not been sleeping and has been quite short tempered. 

I have been helping Kyle to settle into pack life, I could tell he was born into the supernatural world. I just don’t know what he was – if he is anything supernatural at all. 

I was now in my room, going over a few things that still needed to be taken care of. My room door opened and my grandmother walked in.

She put her hand on my shoulder and smiled at me, I knew what that smile meant. She wanted something from me. The grandmother card always worked in her favor. 

“What is it I can do for you today?” I asked as I grinned at her. 

“Killian does not want to leave his daughter alone and he, your father, grandfather and I need to go to the Alpha meeting. There will be a lot of questions with him back now and the other pack Alpha’s are coming in from all over to welcome him back.” She said and her smile turned sad. 

“Okay, so you want me to watch her?” 

“You get the night shift, Kayla said she will stay with her after school and Alex will stay with her in the morning.  We don’t know what exactly happened the night she was supposed to shift, so it is important that we keep an eye on her. Sarah and Leah will help as well, so you should be fine.” My grandmother said and then glared at me, letting me know that it has already been decided. She is not asking me to do this, she is telling me, and it is something I am going to do. 

“Sure thing. It will be the first time I see her. Her name is Mika, right?” I asked because everyone refers to her as Killian’s daughter instead of by her name. 

“Yes, her name is Mika. I guess with all that has been going on everyone has forgotten her name. Even Kayla calls her Killian’s daughter.” My grandmother sighed. 

“I will keep an eye on her and give you regular updates.”

My grandmother smiled at me and then left my room.

I guess I finally get to meet Mika. 

After a long day of getting things in order and showing Kyle around the school I was more than ready to have some fun. I almost forgot about the fact that it was my turn to look after Mika. 

As I relieved a very sleepy Kayla from her duty, I took a moment to look at Mika. One thing is for certain about this girl, she is really beautiful. The story of sleeping beauty entered my mind and I couldn’t help but laugh as I dismissed the thought. 

Finding this girl’s Prince Charming might not be all that easy. 

I sat down on her bed and took her hand in mine. “They are going to figure out what is wrong and soon you will be awake and be every bit the wolf you are. Geminaemihi.” 

The words left my mouth and to be honest I have no idea what they meant but the words felt right. It felt like something that I needed to say. 

In that moment Alex appeared. He was probably just outside and wanted to check on Mika. 

“What did you say?” Alex asked his eyes were wide and he looked kind of excited. 

“I said nothing.”

“Before I came in, you said something in Latin. I need you to repeat it.”

“Why?” I asked, because whatever is going on is starting to make me more than curious. It is eating away at me. 

“If I am right, I think we can finally get Mika to wake up.” Alex took my hands and placed them on the sides of Mika’s face. “I need you to focus your thoughts on her. Focus your energy on her while repeating the words you said before.”

“I don’t remember what I said.” 

“Yes you do.” Alex insisted. “Just focus on her and the words will return to you. And then keep on repeating them.”

I did as Alex said, and it happened again, the words spilled out of my mouth. I repeated them over and over until I felt Mika’s life force. 

She opened her eyes and stared at me as I continued with my little chant. “My twin.” She whispered and then smiled at me. 

I stopped chanting and moved my hands away from her head. 

“Can I have some water please?” Mika asked. 

I was too dumbfounded to do anything, so Alex got it for her. 

“You’re awake.” I said, stating the obvious. 

“People usually wake up after they get enough sleep.”  She replied and then eyed me warily, as though she was only now wondering what I was doing in her room. 

“Yeah, but most people don’t sleep as long as you did.”

“Okay, so how long was I asleep? And who the hell are you?” Mika asked as she pulled herself up. 

“I am Jace and you have been in a comatose state for a little over a week.”

“Am I supposed to believe that crap?” Mika said. She was trying to get off the bed, but seemed to be struggling a bit. “Damn it I feel like I haven’t moved in a decade and my throat is sore.” 

I helped her by lifting her legs and helping her to sit with her legs on the side of the bed. “Like I said, you’ve been asleep for quite some time.”

Mika stayed silent. Alex walked in with a glass of water that she drank in one swallow. We all sat in silence for what felt like hours. 

“I called you my twin, when I opened my eyes, I called you my twin.” Mika said to me, but she was staring in front of her as though she was talking to someone else.

“I think I can shed some light on that. And the reason why Jace was the only one who could wake you up.” Alex spoke up.  

“Okay, then speak already.” I said.

“You and Mika are twins, the only reason you recognized her is because when the two of you were born a warlock cast a spell on the two of you, so that if ever you should be separated you will be able to find each other again. There should be a mark on your body somewhere to symbolize you are twins, but for some reason it vanished or maybe it was never there.”

“We can’t be twins, I was a new-born when Sarah found me.” I nearly shouted. 

“I was there that day. And everything was in chaos. No one knew anything about you or how you appeared in Sarah’s arms. We tried to figure it out, but nothing popped up. So when Sarah turned eighteen she and Jayden officially adopted you.” Alex said. “From what I understand from Killian’s story it is almost the same thing with Mika.”

“If we are twins that means that somehow we were separated at birth, but he managed to get the better genes.” Mika said, it sounded like she was trying to joke about it but it just wasn’t all that funny. 

Mika could have died when the full moon tried to force the shift upon her, for some reason, she didn’t shift and might never be able to shift. 

“There are differences between you, but from what I can tell both of you are very powerful and  you need to learn about all the power you possess. It has been lying dormant inside of you for years. I got a feeling that now that you two have found each other, it has awoken.” Alex said and then took a seat. He looked exhausted. 

“So what happens now?” Mika asked. 

“We call your father and tell him you are awake.” Alex sighed; he was just as lost as we were.
