The Alpha and his Mate

Chapter 10

~Jasper~

A few weeks have passed since Ellie and I ran away together, and so far noone has found us out. The boys where still here, and bless Caroline for opening her home to my pack and myself. I knew she was doing this for James tho, she would do anything for him. I leaned against the huge tree outside her house, exhausted. I never knew that being on guard for so long could take such a toll. I did think about my mother often, I felt sorry for what I had done to her. I also worried for Ellie, she had been quite sick the last few days, and none of us could figure it out. Caroline suggested she bring in a doctor from her old pack, as much as I hated bringing in anyone new, I needed to do what's best for my mate.

"Jasper." James came and sat next to me. Ellie was being examined now, and I couldn't think, what if something was seriously wrong with my mate.

"Hey James." I said, looking at my bestfriend. I would forever be in debt to him and his mate. After all, they were the ones who are risking themselves to hide Ellie and I.

"The doctor just left." He said, pulling a cigarette out of his pocket and lighting it.

"Did you hear anything?" I asked, standing up.

"Well, I heard the doctor telling Caroline that Ellie is pregnant." He said, taking a long drag. My jaw dropped, pregnant? Ellie is having my baby. I felt, almost sick. I wanted to be excited for myself and for her, a baby, proof of our love. But I just couldn't, not now anyways. Their was still a giant man hunt, and Ellie was order to death, how could I ever be excited knowing at any moment, she may die. I made it inside, my mind focused on one thing and one thing only.

Ellie.

~Ellie~

I laid in complete shock, I was pregnant with Jasper Baknor's baby. I felt tears stinging the side of my eyes, I wanted to be happy, but I knew happiness may not have been in store for us. I placed my hand on my flat stomach, and sucked in my emotions.

No, I cannot think like that.

I will protect my baby no matter what. I'm a mom now, I have to do whatever it takes.Jasper came into the room pulling me out of my thoughts. His eyes where all over me, and I knew that he knew.

"Is it true Ellie, are you carrying my child." He said, appearing infront of me. I nodded slightly. He dropped to his knees and placed his hands on my stomach.

"Hi baby, it's your daddy, I love you and promise to protect you." He whispered, I teared up again at this sweet moment. I knew that things where still very dangerous, and they will continue to be that way for who knows how long. As long as I have Jasper, and our unborn baby, I knew everything would work out for the better. I sighed and for the first time in months, I felt some sort of content. I played with Jasper's hair, while he rested his head on my stomach. I never pictured that things would have ended up this way. I never thought that I would ever find my mate, let alone have his baby. When my parents died, and I was taken in by the King and Queen. I was happy , I thought they would give me a family, and I thought Alexandria would be my sister, I found out I was wrong. I suffered a lot since then, and I thought my life would be nothing but pain and suffering. I thought my destiny was to be a maid, to always bow down to others, and to never have my own life. Then Jasper came into view, and he was the last thing I expected or wanted, but he changed me. To Know that my mate a powerful Alpha and King, accepted me, a low shewolf maid, made me the happiest I have ever been. I finally believed that maybe their was happiness meant for me.

We just needed to survive first.

~James~

I walked around the woods of my beautiful Caroline's home. Keeping an eye out for my Alpha and his mate. I took a drag off my smoke, and kept walking. My thoughts roaming to Caroline, the women who owned my heart, and the rest of me. What a saint she was, to allow my Alpha and the rest of my pack members into her home, she knew the risk and the dangers and allowed it anyways.

"James." I heard that sweet voice behind me and I sighed happily. Turning around I was met with the gaze of my sweetheart, her giant blue eyes filled with kindness and a sparkle.

"Hey beautiful." I walked over, kissing her forehead. She blushed at the contact.

"I brought you some dinner, I felt you would be hungry by now." She smiled, handing me a bag. I smiled at the gesture. Caroline was an amazing women, and I got so lucky when I found her.

"Thank you." I said, kissing her tenderly. I felt the heat going to my toes, and I knew I wanted more. Caroline , feeling it to groaned.

She pulled back, "I am going to head back now, I love you James." She said, kissing my cheek, I watched as she walked back to her house. I was so damn lucky. I unraveled my sandwich and took a bite. I knew there was danger on the horizon, but I was determined to protect those close to me. Caroline was now apart of Jasper's pack, I knew she would have to face the consequences when this all came to a head. It driven me even more then before, I would always protect Caroline, no matter what I would die for her. I took another bite, thinking as I chewed. I wondered about the plant of attack, it's been weeks, and noone has even came close to figuring us out. We were hidden in these woods, but I wanted to leave. I wanted to take Caroline back to my home, marry her, mark her and raise our babies there. I was hoping one day, when this mess was over, I could do just that. I was Beta to the pack, so of course I was going to stay close to my Alpha, and I hope Caroline would join. I took a drink from my water bottle and closed my eyes, trying to relax.

My eyes snapped open, as an unfamiliar scent hit my nose. I stood up, and recognized some of the men from the night of the party, they are from the Queen's palace.

I ran as fast as I could back to the house, bursting threw the doors.

Jasper and Ellie's eyes where on my immediately.

"What's wrong?" Caroline came to my side.

"T-they found us, we need to go now." I said, my voice shaking. Jasper's eyes widen, and he turned to Ellie.

This is the moment we have been preparing weeks for, this is it.

The outcome will decide the fate of our lives.
