Seventy Seven

Chapter Seventy-Seven

Jacob hadn't returned home since last night and I haven't slept a blink. Thinking over and over again about my decision, I cried all night and prayed, continuously apologizing to the unborn child in my womb.

"You called for me?"

It was Harley. Of course I called for him, I needed someone by my side right now and since Jacob was against this idea, I had to call for someone who wouldn't turn down my heeding.

"Yes." I wiped my face and stood up. I probably looked like a mess right now but I couldn't care anymore. "I also called for, uh, Roscoe. Expect his presence in a bit, I'll just get something from my room."

Harley's POV

Everything was a mess around the pack. I heard Jacob was scolding his staff and throwing things everywhere. Brent told me, of course. He'd been snooping about what was happening with Jake and Luce that may had caused Jacob's nonstop tantrums over the Hall.

Of course I said nothing. I promised Lucianna I wouldn't tell a soul about Jacob losing his control of his wolf and killing that poor wolf days ago.

The hairs on my arm stood as I felt Roscoe's presence coming. I didn't know what Luce planned to do or why she ever thought of inviting Roscoe's brother over. Though all I know was there's nothing good in every place Roscoe was in.

"Where is she?" a voice asked and he was right beside me before I could turn my head. Fuck his speed.

"In her room."

Roscoe was about to step in when I stopped him by extending my arm on his chest.

"Ho! Where do you think you're going?"

Roscoe hissed and removed my arm in his way in a hasty behavior. "Chill, wolf. I'll just sit in the living room than stay out here in the cold like a guard dog you are."

My teeth gritted as I followed him inside. To be sure, and of course, to watch his every move. No matter what, I couldn't stop thinking that this man would betray the pack any time.

"You're one nosy fuck gamma." I heard Roscoe said in a whisper before turning to me. "Did Lucianna called you here?" he asked in a squinted eyes.

"Yes, I called Harley," Luce got out from the bedroom and headed to us. She changed her clothes and I noticed a medium sized packed bag on her arm.

"We going somewhere?" I asked because what I can smell from inside that bag was her scent. So it must be contained with her belongings though I have no idea where we were going. Jacob didn't contact me today for this. Heck, he didn't contact me at all.

"The question here is," Roscoe stood up. "Why is he here?" his finger was pointed at me. My brow shot up from his question.

"Why wouldn't I be?" I was baffled with what was happening.

"You have no right to be here, Gamma." he answered as if he was starting to get bored.

"I'm the Luna's guardian. YOU have no right to be here."

"Enough." Lucianna sighed and dropped the bag. "I want Harley to know about this, Roscoe."

Roscoe sighed and his shoulder drooped. "You sure about that?"

"Sure about--wait. Know about what?"

What are we talking about here? I have no fucking idea. For real.

"I'm pregnant." Luce started. My eyes widened and I looked at Roscoe, waiting for him to laugh as if this was a prank but he didn't.

If Lucianna was pregnant then why was Jacob acting as if he lost his mind? The heck?!

"And I needed to get rid of it."

"What the fuck?!"

I wasn't yet recovering from the previous news and now this? She's pregnant! Finally an heir of the Shadow pack and she wanted to kill the pup?

"No, no. If this is open for a vote, I'm not with you in this one."

Lucianna shook his head slowly.

"Sad to break the news for you, Gamma, but there's no voting here. Our Luna has decided." Roscoe said.

"This is why I know you're a bad omen, traitor. You pushed her to do this, huh?" My jaw clenched.

Lucianna wouldn't have do this on her own. She must have been blackmailed or something, anything, but not on her own accord.

"I talked to Jacob about this. We agreed to do this." Lucianna said in a whisper.

"Agreed." I repeated in a weak voice. "Jacob is a mess right now down the Hall, Lucianna! If he agreed, its not what he entirely want."

Lucianna sighed.

"Jacob killed a werewolf." she stated.

I frowned. "What? No! That's a forest wolf, he himself described the corpse. I already told you about this. Did this traitor make up a new story? Don't believe him!"

Lucianna looked at me in the eyes. "Jacob told me himself."

I froze.

And she continued.

"He lost control of his wolf and yes, he wasn't aware of what he did but he still did it. And you know why?" she walked and stopped in front of me. Suddenly, I felt a pang of authority surging from her. "Because the pup in my womb is a child of darkness. Its making Jacob lose control and once this child is born? It will kill Jacob. It will eat him. And right now, even with its unborn nature, it is eating him."

There was silence in the room. I saw Roscoe shook his head in my peripheral vision and me? I couldn't move.

I couldn't believe what she was saying. Jacob killed one of our kind. Though rogue, he still did.

This is mess up.

"Now should we go or should we wait until your gamma sinks in all the information?" Roscoe said in a bored voice.

I rolled my eyes at him, growling a bit.

"Where are we going?" I asked when Lucianna took her bag again and started to walk out of the house.

"She just told you, dog, we're getting rid of the pup!" Roscoe said with unbearable patience. Lucianna eyed him and Roscoe rolled his eyes before heading out of the house first.

Lucianna watched him as he walked out then looked at me again.

"I don't want to do this here in our house. This might traumatize me for the rest of my life and I don't want to live in the same place where I end a life. This might be my choice, Harley, but believe me when I say I don't want this."

Her eyes moisten and I know she's on the verge of crying.

"But you have to." I finished her sentence. "I understand, though not entirely, but I get what you mean."

Lucianna sniff a bit and looked away.

"Let's go."

"Where exactly?" I asked but followed her when she walked out of the house.

"Anywhere but here." she just said and I kept my mouth shut.

Nobody knows but I reached someone in my portal.

'She's getting rid of the pup. I'm going with her.'

'Tell me where. I'll be there.' said someone in our portal.
