Chapter 14: Spirits

“I, uh...”

“9 minutes”

Okay, this is it. I’ll tell him the truth and finish this off. I open my mouth to speak when I hear a voice.

Don’t

“What?” I ask

“What?” he replies confused.

“You said something?”

“No, I didn’t.”

“Oh.” If it wasn’t Harry, then who was it? I shake my head and clear all my thoughts. “Uh, so, I met Noah first when-“ don’t do it. I trail off as I hear the same voice again. “When?” Harry asks expectantly. I just look into his eyes for a second and I hear the same voice again. Don’t tell him the truth. My voice gets caught in my throat. There’s someone who is talking to me and only I can hear it’s voice. Harry looks at me, his patience wearing out, “When?” he says again through his gritted teeth.

Do not open your secrets...

Don’t tell him the truth...

Let it be hidden.. it is for the best.

I hear the voice again but this time it was louder. I felt someone fingers on my shoulder. I turned to look at the person, but no one came in view. “Uh, I met him at school.” I blurt out.

“At school? You do realize he is almost three years older to you... how could you be friends with him at school?” Shit.

“I knew him through friends.” I say fiddling with my fingers.

“Jennifer, if this is the truth, then why don’t I believe you? What is making me think, that maybe you’re lying to me?” he says narrowing his eyes.

“I don’t know... Maybe you don’t trust me.” I say half pouting. This should work on him.

“Jenn, baby, you know I trust you.” YES!

“Then what makes me think you don’t?” I ask not looking at him, because I know I will laugh at his face if I do. This is what I like the most about Harry, he cares too much about me and my feelings. He melts like butter on a hot pan when it comes to me.

Harry gets up from his seat. He come close to me and kneels down in front of me. He grabs both my hands in his and gives them a light squeeze.“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.” He says and I start feeling guilty for hiding all this from him. He deserves to know! “I love you.” he says and kisses my hand. Wait what?

My eyes widen, my mouth falls open, I quickly pull my hands out from his grip. “You what?”

His expression suddenly changes, his eyes go wide too. He presses a hand on his mouth and mutter something that sounded like ‘shit’. “I- uh, it wasn’t supposed to come out like that. I was saving it for a special day. I- I am so sorry.” He says running a hand through his hair. 

“Special day? What are you talking about?” I ask getting angry and confused at the same time.

“I thought I’d take you out somewhere romantic and you know, say that I love you.” he expression soften and small smile appears on his lips.

He loves me? Why? I can’t believe this. I am lying to him, I am playing with his feeling, I am soon going to break his trust by handling the crystal to Noah and he loves me? of course, that’s because he’s clueless. He doesn’t know anything. He’s marked me and now he says he loves me. I can’t let that happen. He can’t love me, he just can’t.

“You can’t love me!” I blurt my thought out.

“What? Why can’t I? D- Don’t you love me?” he says raising his voice trying to sound angry but he fails as his voice cracks in the end.

“I like you, Harry, a lot. But I don’t think I love you” I say and something inside me twists and turns. This pain is unbearable. I clutch my stomach and bite my lips to keep myself from screaming.  I feel like something inside is ripping apart. My eyes start to water and my head starts throbbing.

“Jennifer? Are you alright?” Harry asks as he grabs me by my shoulders and makes me sit on one of the chairs. I nod and let the tears flow. Suddenly I start feeling dizzy, the whole room starts spinning.

Harry’s POV

She presses both her hands on her forehead and blinks rapidly, “Jenny? Babe, talk to me.” I say and pat her cheeks. But she doesn’t respond, she sucks in a deep breath and loses her consciousness. Fuck. I pick her up bridal style and run towards the pack hospital.

“Alpha, What happened to Luna?” Rittle’s assistant asks.

“Go call Rittle now!” I order and she runs off to call him.

I put Jennifer on the hospital bed when suddenly the door flies open. “Alpha, what’s wrong?” Dr. Rittle asks as he rushes towards us.

“She- I don’t know. She was talking to me and then suddenly she became unconscious. Rittle please, do something.” It is not in the nature of an Alpha to plead, but today, I find myself pleading in front of a doctor to save my love, my mate.

“I’ll do what I can.” He says and politely asks me to leave the room.

I wait outside for around 45 minutes when the door opens and Dr. Rittle comes out. His forehead sweaty, his eyes cast down on the ground, his hands shaking. “What happened?” I ask

“Her wolf and the spirit that is blocking her wolf are both fighting for dominance. Um, sir, I guess this is a personal question but has she accepted you as her mate yet? I mean, do you think she wants to be with you?” he asks and I shake my head, not having the strength to say anything. “I thought so.” He says and wipes his forehead with the back of his hand.

“What do you mean?” I ask feeling totally lost here.

“You see, Sir, Alpha, her wolf wants her mate.... but the spirit is not allowing her wolf to take control. The spirit is stronger than her wolf. I have told you before, and you know it, she is the chosen one. The spirit will not leave her body until unless she frees the Great Gizelle’s spirit. The Moon Goddess is waiting for Gizelle’s spirit to be freed. But it is harmful for her to know this yet, she might just do something wrong to herself with that much pressure.”

“So? What am I supposed to do now?”

“Give it a little time.”
