In Love With a Lycan Alpha 2

Chapter 1

Alice stood at the entrance of Devon's study, staring at him with fear in her eyes as Lucas reported to him. Her hand was on her now protruding bump as her heart raced in fear…

“Are you sure about this?” Devon asked, not wanting to believe what he was hearing. “Yes Alpha, words got to me a few moments ago” Lucas answered in a low voice. Alice became light-headed and stumbled backwards due to the news. Devon and Lucas immediately rushed to her side. Devon held his mate in his arms and sighed deeply. This was the worst news ever, and I regretted that Alice heard the news with him.

“I will be right back” Lucas nodded and watched as Devon led his mate away. He was shocked too when Kace told him about it.

Alice's body trembled as she let Devon lead her towards the bed so she could lie down. When he made sure she was comfortable, he was about to leave to call the pack doctor, but Alice stopped him. “Is it true, how could she escape so easily?” She asked in a troubled voice. Devon didn't have an answer to any of her questions because he was as shocked as her. “Don't worry, my love, she will be caught very soon. Everything will be fine” He assured her and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.

“What About Joan? What if she tries to harm her like before.” There was fear in Alice's voice, and Devon hated to see her afraid again. He wanted her to be at ease because of the baby…

“And Johnathan, we need to warn them. Where is Diana when we need her.” Alice said and ran her hand through her hair. She took a deep breath...

“Someone would have helped her. I doubt it was Ash.. he helped us before. Who do you think it is?”

“Alice, please calm down” Devon said, and she finally looked at him with a bit of tears in her eyes. “The baby. The baby must be safe” She said in a pleading tone, and Devon nodded and hugged her.

“The baby always will be safe, my love... I promise…”

Alice held on to Devon's words, and he stayed with her till she fell asleep before he left the room quietly and went back to his study to gather more information about what Lucas had told him. Lucas and Kace were waiting for him already. They had deep frowns on their respective faces.

Devon walked to his table and took a seat. “Could you explain to me in detail?” He asked, and Lucas went straight into it.

“This morning, words came from our men at the Palace about Hazel's Escape and…” Lucas trailed off, knowing Devon would be infuriated by what he was going to say next. “And?...” Devon demanded.

“It's been over a month since her escape”

“What!” Devon yelled out. He knew it was Liam's doing. He purposely kept such news away from him. Devon ran his hand through his hair and sighed. This was more alarming than he had imagined. If Liam wasn't able to find her till now, then it was a cause for alarm. He thought everything was finally going to be back to normal. Devon thought about his Luna and unborn child, and he fisted his hand… he was going to keep them safe at all costs...

Alice opened her eyes and saw that she was back at the lake. “Joan, Johnathan!” She yelled out her friend's names but didn't get a response. She sighed… Why is this happening now? Joan, Joan would be in danger. She was no longer at the Palace and Alice had tried her best to find out where Joan was but The last time she had spoken to her friend was almost a month ago when they met at the lake and Joan had told her she had left the Palace and wasn't sure she was ever going to return. She looked so heartbroken at that time, and Alice had urged her to tell her where she was, but Joan refused. She didn't want Liam to have an idea of where she was. Alice had assured her that she wouldn't tell Liam where she was, but Joan had only simply said that when they saw each other again.

How was she going to tell Joan about this? She feared for her friend. She had been seeing Jonathan regularly. He was on a trip with Lilac from what he had told her. No one knew where Diana went off, too, but she was sure the witch would be back anytime from now because of the news of Hazel's escape.

“Alice” Alice heard a tranquil familiar voice call out to her… “Moon goddess” She exclaimed and whipped her head around to see Selene staring at her with a smile on her face. She got up and walked to where Selene was. Selene eyed Alice's bump, and she felt her heart swell in joy.

“Alice” The moon goddess reached out and gave her a warm hug.

“I know,” Selene said when they broke the hug, and Alice opened her mouth to say something to her. “Do you know where she is?” Alice asked. Hoping Selene would tell her where her friend was. “I do, but it's not my job to tell,” Selene replied. Alice wasn't happy with this response.

“But we have to find her to keep her safe. Please tell me where she is” Alice pleaded, Selene just smiled.

“She will be fine. You all will be fine” …
