#I'LL BE THERE#

PREVIOUSLY

Calling an uber I make my way to the mansion and run up the stairs. I stuff a small backpack of the necessities while sniffling and wiping my puffy red eyes. Without looking back I make my way down after a little revenge and come face to face with Jake.

He just nods and opens his arms as I embrace him and he leads me to his car.

I didn't know where he was taking me but any where away from Mythias would do even though my heart was crumbling piece by piece I place a protective hand in my belly.

Mummies here my beauties...

ALEX'S POV

Today is the big day! Buttercup and Elaine are finally getting married!

And just as I thought of shopping with the rest of the bridesmaids I have Mythias following me around picking our outfits together.

His reason was:

"Remember just before you left my mansion to Jakes? I saw the little fit or rather shall I cap it large fit you threw in my closet. You minced all my suits specifically all the black ones!"

So here we are now finding a matching set to match the theme of the wedding. The colours of which consists of Blush pink, navy blue and white. The perfect whimsical and refreshing atmosphere.

The boys and I obviously pitched in to helping them set up the finishing touch ups. I just can't wait to see Elaine's expression, she is going to love it! I just know it!

"This one"

"No" That's the hundredth' No!

"Ok, I will see you at the wedding. Now go." I point to the door ans when Mythias doesn't budge from his seat I grab my bag and jog out of the shop.

Now with his bodyguards protecting me I could finally choose something without him breathing down my neck. And I mean that sincerely.

Now rushing back home towards the bride dressed in white I embrace her in a sisterly hug.

"You are going to nail this, you look just too beautiful" I hush to her as she gives me another hug.

"Now are we doing this today or tomorrow ladies?" Crate waltz's in looking sharp in his black tux and black bow.

At this I make my way to the hall set outside and stand in line with Hailey beside me as bridesmaid. My cheeks flush as soon as the best man; Mythias lays his eyes on me plastering his signature smirk and a wink towards me. I give a once over trying to not drool with him looking handsome and intimidating at the same time clad in his pitch black tux though as always instead of slacks he was in black denim joggers.

I swear that man Is allergic to slacks or even pants for that matter.

Straightening my light pink dress with the top half all lace and long-sleeved dress up, the cue music begins.

I give a thumbs up to the smiling groom and his surprising neatly combed butter coloured hair which contrasted with his navy blue suit and blush pink tie.

Gasps fills the audience as she walks graciously hand in hand with crate doing the honours. I could not miss the unbelievable expression on Buttercup's face as he took in her gorgeous appearance. From the top her straight brown hair was twisted into a crown braid accompanied by a tiara veil followed by a dazzling bronze shade of make-up.

Her dress was coloured in the shade of pure white with her chest covered in laced patterns and while sleeveless and back-less the rest of her dress insinuated her curves all the way down followed by a lace patterned trail and with the extra layers layered lightly on top of the hugging material.

As vows were exchanged and rings were placed with hope, love and unity in the air the day begun to see to its end.

Dancing under the fairy lights with Mythias just gave me a wonderful giddy feeling like that of a school girl. My blush refused to leave and stayed prominent throughout the night especially with Mythias whispering sweet nothings in my ear until he had to leave for a call; an important one I hope.

JACE BLACKWELL'S POV

(5 MONTHS LATER)

"Where is she?" I ask loud and clear while banging my bruised fists on the table of my new office. How did I get promoted to the right hand man of The Red Knights. By my efforts, yes but one thing I have learnt about my new boss is that he wants to rule... solo. No questions asked.

He has been planning all this while and the plan will most certainly work but not if they will be warned.

Though at this moment I am looking for the mother of my newborn child.

"She's gone sir. She said she would take her life if we didn't let them go"

"Them?"

"Yes sir, Clara had a daughter and she left a note sir."

I grab it and re-read the sentence over and over in my head and that's when I knew I had chosen my fate.

After the call I sent with the phone I knew a bug device was planted into, in walks the leader himself hustling a low tune.

"You know you have betrayed me. I was quite expecting it though. Which means I am definitely few more steps ahead of you. Your daughter and Clara will now be under my care and as for you... any last words?"

"May the true Alpha win."

And just as they say 'life flashes before the eyes' well in mine the cursive letters were engraved deeply for the last time reading the words...

-'Her name is Claire'-
