Claiming The Hidden Alpha✔️

Chapter 35

  Erica

I was glad to know that he hasn't been with Mabel yet. I don't know what I would have done if it turned out that he had been with her before. I knew for a fact that I would be angry. I knew that things won't be good if I had confirmed that he had sex with her already. I will be so enraged to hear that. I'm happy that nothing has gone far between the both of them. I feel happy knowing he hasn't had sex with anyone before just like me.

"What were you thinking when you asked that question?" I heard Jerome's voice and I chuckled before replying. I knew things might have gotten complicated with his reply but I'm glad it didn't. I feel happy that things are working out the way I want.

"I was just curious, and I'm glad that nothing has happened between the both of you, and said because you have already kissed her," I said, making a puppy face while staring at him.

He smiled at me cutely before poking my head lightly with his fingers. He had a satisfactory smile on his face and I knew that something would have wanted to tempt him into having sex with Mabel and I knew with no doubt that it would be Mabel. I knew with the look in her eyes the day I took Jerome away that she was someone who was naughty, and I'm glad that he didn't get tempted by her. I was going to ask him about it but I decided against it. I knew that things might not go as I had planned if I asked him; I was going to ask him what Mabel had intended to use in tempting her.

"I know you have many more questions to ask but I'm not answering any, I know you to be a person who isn't easy to decipher, and I know that whatever you want to ask isn't going to be a pretty cool one" Jerome said while staring deep into my eyes. I scoffed with a fake frown on my face, I knew that he had read through me. I was glad for that and also sad because I won't be getting away with things easily with him.

I was shocked at how quick I was at flipping into a jovial mode. I know that I'm not someone who cries easily or gets lost. I know that this isn't happening right now. I knew with no doubt that if anything was to happen to him during the duel then I won't be myself. It's hard for me to lose to someone but after that it would be hard for me to lose that person. I knew that I shouldn't blame him if he loses the duel because there is no way someone as average as him will win the duel against alpha but I pray that the impossible should happen.

"Erica, what have you been thinking?" I heard Jerome say as he tapped my shoulders, jolting me out of my thoughts. I felt my heart stop beating at that instant. I knew that I should not mention it to him that I'm scared of him losing the duel. I knew he would feel bad for being born as an omega.

"Don't tell me you have been thinking of what's going to happen tomorrow, you don't have to worry about that we still have a long way to go" he said and I nodded my head knowing that he was right but I'm not ready to admit it to him that I was guilty of what he just said.

"Nothing, I was just thinking of what we can do tonight," I said in defense.

"Jerome, I was meaning to ask you this since but it always skipped my mind but I don't know if this is the perfect opportunity to ask," I said timidly while staring at him with the corner of my eyes and he heaved heavily before replying.

"Yes, you can but I hope it's not one of those toi have asked me earlier," he asked while staring ate with an accusation look on my face.

"No if it isn't," I said and there was a long pause in the room.

"I was wondering how you have the tattoo of the ," I started while staring at him intently wanting to know if I had his attention and I continued when I saw I had his attention.

"Do you perhaps remember anything from your childhood?" I trailed off while staring at his face for explanation, and his face was contorted into a look of nervousness.

I knew with the look on his face that there was something about the whole thing. I knew that there must be a story behind the face he made, and it looked like he regretted something but my curiosity is getting the better of me. I knew that I wasn't considerate enough because of what I was saying and doing. I knew it might look like I'm some kind of selfish b*tch whose sole purpose is to make things work to her plan.

"The truth is that I know nothing about my childhood, it was like it never existed and the only time I remember is when I was little with Mabel, that's my only childhood memory that I remember," he said while staring at me truthfully and I couldn't help but sigh heavily. I knew that whatever made him forget about his childhood memory must have taken his lycans' powers.

I knew that I should have asked him this since but it has always skipped my mind. I wasn't someone who would forget things easily but when it comes to Jerome I tend to forget things. I knew that there would have been a way out of all this if I had asked this question before when I found out about him.

"Do you have a clue on that, or maybe something that can make us know more about all this ?" I asked hoping that he had an explanation for all this. I knew that with no doubt if he was to give an explanation then it would make things easier and faster.

I knew that all this should have been asked of me before and that coming late isn't good. I knew that even if we were to find a way to make things right, he won't even be able to fight the alphas off in the duel. I knew that there is no way I would be able to get the solution and even if I do then he won't be able to use his powers in the duel and it might weaken him.

"I knew that this might sound weird and it did to me, the alpha said I had an accident while I was a kid but I doubt if the accident is responsible for this. He said I had a head injury while climbing a tree in the pack, and I ended up falling down onto the ground with my head hitting a big stone. It was said that I lose my memory but I don't believe that because anytime I try going back into my memory lane it is like force repels me" he said and I couldn't help but be vowed with his reply. I knew that his reply was honest and truthful because of the look on his face.

"Why don't you ask..." I was saying before I was cut off by Jerome who stared at me with a raised eyebrow.

"It would be great if you don't ask any more questions because we might spend the whole night talking about this and it is already too late for anything to be done to stop it" Jerome said while staring at me with a sad smile on his face.

I knew he was pained about it but he tried hard to hide it but it was still evident in his eyes. I knew that he wasn't happy with the fact that he might lose his mate to another person who he doesn't even know. I know it is hard for him and so is it for me. I knew that there was nothing pleasant in this since he wasn't as strong to be able to beat them in the duel. I knew that he was just trying his best to hold up and not give up.

"We can just spend the night like other couples and talk, you can't say if this would be our last night together," I heard him say and I knew that he was right. There is no need for us to wallow in thoughts like this when we can still make use of the opportunity at hand.

"Yes, I guess that will do" I said and he smiled at me showing off his cure dimples. I stared at him as I admired him and most especially because of his cute dimples.
