Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress Novel

Chapter 467 +25 Bonus Chapter 467 Jake's POV I woke up with a start, every muscle in my body tense, ready for a fight. I blinked a few times, confused, when I saw a drop ceiling and fluorescent lights and not the back of a moving van. Ruth, Sienna, Claire, and lan... they didn't seem to be here. Glancing around, I saw Amelia and some healers, a few I recognized, some I didn't. Slowly, my mind filled in some of the missing pieces. I remembered being stabbed. I remembered falling... I lifted my hand to my chest to find it was now bandaged in white gauze.

It hurt - a lot, like it was still fresh- but the knife itself was gone, which was a blessing. "Your sister saved you," Mom said. "You should have seen it. She tapped into your wolf and gave it the temporary strength it needed to repel the knife." Amelia blushed a little. "I didn't do anything really. Just what you told me to do." "That's not true," Mom said. "I didn't even need to help." "But..." Amelia was going to try to diminish her help here. I wasn't going to let her. "Thank you," I told her, holding her surprised gaze. "Thank you, Amelia." She lowered her head.

After blinking a few times, I tried to remember what happened about how I got here. Vaguely, I recalled Ruth chanting something, and the strange aura the carving knife took on as she plunged it into my chest. The knife I was relieved was now gone. Ruth had to be a witch. She had to be. Else there would be no way for a simple carving knife to take down a strong Alpha wolf like myself. I was much sturdier than that. Even a stab to the heart wasn't something my wolf and his healing factor couldn't recover from. I started to sit up. "Easy, Jake," Amelia said, there at my side.

She reached out, placing a hand on my shoulder. "You need time to heal." I wasn't used to that. Typically I could heal in a flash. I must have looked at her strangely, because she replied in a soothing tone, "We don't know what effects that curse might have had on you. It could take you a long time to recover from this." That wasn't what I wanted to hear. I needed to get out there, to fight. "What happened?" I asked. "Please," Amelia said, pushing on my shoulder gently.

"I will tell you, but please relax." With a huff, I laid back down, though with some help from the nurses, we lifted the head of the bed so that I 1/2 Chapter 467 +25 Bonus didn't feel so much like I was looking up at everyone. Even injured, the Alpha in me rejected being beneath anyone. I needed to at least be on a level field. "Tell me everything," I said to Amelia. I was pleased to see that she was free and unharmed, but I needed to know what had happened to the fugitives. "I don't fully know," Amelia said. "I jumped and Damien caught me.

We chased after you, and found you in the road with a knife in your chest." She lowered her head a little, like she didn't want to tell me the rest. With a breath, she continued, "The fugitives all escaped across the border. Apparently, they tore straight through the roadblock and made it to rogue lands." The news sat like a heavy weight on my chest. Whatever the fugitives had been planning before, it was clear that now, they were depending on the rogues for assistance. That likely meant that my worst fears were being realized. We could have a war on our hands.

I had been uncertain of the rogue involvement, but now I knew for sure. Not just because they were crossing the border, but also because I had seen for myself that Ruth had been among them. There was no question of her involvement now. She had been a spy in my home for many years. Who knew how much information she had accumulated in that time? All of us were in terrible danger.
