2 in 1 Love

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.
