Chapter 319 They Are Mine
Lilaâs POV
I donât remember when I fell asleep, but when I woke up, I saw a familiar face standing on the other
side of the cell.
Jazzy stood in front of me with her arms folded across her chest. She was staring at me like she was
examining a science project. The healer, Dr. Hannah Laureen stood beside her, c ocking her head at
me as if she was also staring at a science project.
âPregnant?â Jazzy muttered, shaking her head in dismay. âHow did that get missed?â
âYou wouldnât allow me to do an examination right away,â Hanna reminded her.
âI meant before that. How was it not known information?â
âI donât think she knew,â Hannah said, glancing at her briefly. âI believe it was new information for her as
well.â
âHow long has she been pregnant?â
âMaybe two weeks,â Hannah answered.
I felt heat creeping around my face. I was two weeks pregnant?
Instinctively I touched my belly; my trembling fingers finding the place where my pups would be
growing. With this new knowledge, Val was extra defensive. She was going to do whatever it took to
protect our pups, just like my mother did whatever it took to protect me.
I had heard stories of when my mother was pregnant, and she did what she could to make sure I was
born. into a good environment. She sacrificed her entire life to make sure I was safe, and I was
determined to do the same thing with my pups.
Twins.
I still couldnât get over that fact.
âIs this going to ruin anything?â Jazzy asked, turning to face Hannah. âCan she still be used to create
this vessel?â
âYes,â Hannah said, bowing her head slightly. âShe can still be used. But we have to make sure she
remains healthy.ââThen do what you can to keep her healthy,â Jazzy growled. âWe canât use her until
the red full moon tomorrow night, so I expect her to still be healthy tomorrow night.â
âYes, mam.â
Hannah glanced down at me, giving me a look that almost looked like remorse. I wanted to ask her
more questions about this pregnancy, But I figured it would be better if I kept my mouth shut while
Jazzy was in
the area.
There were guards nearby and instantly smelled their rogue scent, which made me want to vomit.
Enzoâs mother was technically a rogue, as was her entire village. But they didnât smell anything like
that. These rogues smelled just like Paulâs men; in fact, Iâm pretty sure they were his men.
Which meant they were also Blaiesâs men.
Chapter 319 They Are Mine
I should have known theyâd be working with Jazzy. They wanted to get rid of me and my kind for a long
time. Now it looked like they had a window to do just that.
Hannah nodded at them and without hesitation, they unlocked the cage they were keeping me inside
and they marched over to me. As they grabbed my legs and arms, I struggled against them, but the
chains that bound my limbs burned my flesh, making me scream and fall limp against them.
I didnât want to hurt myself knowing I was now a cage for two unborn pups. My heart was racing rapidly
in my chest as they carried me out of the cage on Hannahâs demand.
âWhere are we going?â I found it in me to ask.
âTo my clinic,â she answered, following closely behind. âIâd like to do another examination to make sure
your pups are healthy.â
I didnât ask any more questions; truth be told, I wanted this examination. But I wished these nasty
rogued wolves werenât manhandling me like this. I didnât want their greasy hands on my body even if
they were just carrying me to the clinic.
As we walked through the many corridors of this obvious warehouse, I tried to take in everything that I
could. I instinctively knew I had to be on high alert and utilize the senses that worked.
I took in the rogues who were guarding certain doors, I took in every sign and every detail of the walls
and floor plan. I took in all the stairwells and the windows. The windows were fairly high up so I couldnât
see outside but could glimpse a couple of trees.
We could have been in some kind of forest.
There was machinery crowding some areas, but I couldnât tell what they were for. I breathed in the
musky scent of the warehouse but nearly gagged at the rotten smell.
Was that old meat?
It smelled like meat thatâs been sitting and rotting. Maybe this warehouse was used as a b utcher or
even a sla ughterhouse. It would make sense with these strange pieces of machinery; I shuddered at
the thought. of them keeping me in a sla ughterh ouse.
âShould she be awake right now?â One of the rogues grumbled as they continued to follow Hannah.
âItâs not like we are going far,â Hannah said in return.
She stopped in front of an elevator and then she entered something into the keypad, I squinted to try
and get a better look at what she was entering, But my vision was a little blurry and the way I was
positioned, it was hard to get a good look.
But I think I saw a 6, a 5, and maybe even a 3. But there were a bunch of other numbers I didnât catch.
The elevator door opened, and everyone stepped inside. I felt claustrophobic in this small metal box
and when it moved, my heart nearly jumped not my throat. It creaked loudly and it shook as it moved
upward.
I certainly didnât trust this elevator, but then it finally stopped.
Looking at the floor number, we were on the 2(nd) floor.
There looked to only be two floors.
Chapter 319 They Are Mine
Maybe there were windows Iâd be able to see out of once we left the elevator.
The doors opened and we stepped into what looked like a casual lobby. It looked like a doctorâs office.
Were we in the basement of a doctorâs office? Why would the downstairs be a sla ghterh ouse?
I couldnât help but cringe at the thought but was even more disappointed when I saw there werenât any
windows.
We walked through the waiting room and entered through a set of doors. I recognized this room as the
clinic I had woken up in previously. The room where Hanna told me I was pregnant.
They took me over to the bed where the chains were placed and I found myself struggling again, not
wanting to be chained to this bed. But the silver once again burned my flesh as I struggled.
It must have been enchanted to do that if I struggled.
This was definitely the work of dark magic, I thought to myself.
âStep outside,â Hannah told the rogues. âI need to examine her and itâs quite invasive. I donât need you
breathing over my shoulder.â
They looked at one another questionably before rolling their eyes and leaving the room. With them
gone, I felt like I could finally breathe. I didnât trust Dr. Hannah Laureen, but I liked her better than the
rogues. At least she didnât manhandle me, and she might be able to answer some of my questions.
She walked over to the counter in the distance and rummaged through some equipment before coming
to my bedside.
âIâm just going to check on your twins with this ultrasound machine,â she explained as she rubbed a
cold jelly on my lower stomach.
âHow did you even know I was pregnant with twins from just my blood results?â I asked, furrowing my
brows together.
It was a question I hadnât thought about until just now.
âI donât have just the ability to heal; I can also see auras,â she explained. âYou have three auras all at
once. Which didnât make sense at first. Usually, if you have multiple-colored auras to show your moods
and personality, it would be jumbled into one. But you have three separate auras, which is very
uncommon.â
I wanted to touch my stomach again, but the chains prevented me from doing that.
âThey are the auras of my pups?â I asked, looking up at her.
She nodded.
âWhen I g oy the blood results, it made sense as to why youâd have three auras,â she explained. âOne
belongs to you and the other two belong to your pups.â
She looked at the monitor as she placed the wand thing on my stomach. I canât imagine thereâd be a
heartbeat just yet, or maybe there would be. I didnât know how any of this worked; I was still young, and
I wasnât ready to have a baby yet. Let alone two of them.
I wished Enzo was with me; I wished my mother was with me.
âAwe⦠there they are,â she breathed happily. âDo you see them?â
Chapter 319 They Are Mine
She pointed to the monitor, and I saw two little dots. They were hardly a thing and yet they meant
everything to me already. My heart began to beat rapidly in my chest, and I had to fight back the tears,
Hannah also looked pleased, which confused me. If they were planning on killing me, then my
pregnancy shouldnât matter to her.
She seemed to have seen my confused face and she straightened her shoulders.
âSeeing a new pregnancy always makes me happy,â she explained.
âAre they healthy?â I asked, trying to keep my tone even and unbothered.
âThey seem to be,â she said, staring at the monitor. âAs long as we keep you healthy, that is all that
matters. Itâs a shame they wonât grow any further than this.â
My heart shattered and Val whimpered at her words.
She turned off the monitor way too soon; I didnât get a chance to really let it soak in-that I was staring at
my pups.
She turned away and went back to the counter only to return moments later with a syringe. I tried to
jerk away but was instantly burned by the silver chains, making me hiss in displeasure.
âHold still,â she warned.
âWhat is that?â I asked, not wanting her to stick me with another syringe.
âItâs to keep you and your pups healthy,â she answered. âItâs like antibiotics. No need to worry. We must
keep you alive until tomorrow night.â
The syringe stung as she stuck it in my neck.
During the examination, she took some more blood, gave me a few more shots, and did a close
examination of my lady bits. No wonder wanted those rogues to leave.
Once she was done, she called for the rogues to return and bring me back to my cell.
They practically threw me back into the cell and I landed against the hard ground with a thud. I
instantly. grabbed my stomach to protect my unborn pups.
They were real now; I saw them with my own eyes. They were mine.
I remained in the dark cell for what felt like an eternity, going over in my head how the hell I was going
to get out of there. I needed to find a way to reach Enzo through our bond. I needed him to get here
with an army and save us.
But I also knew wherever I was, it was blocking the bond from reaching him. I doubt he could even
smell
me.
I heard someone approaching, making me crawl back into the darkest corner of the cell.
âAre you sure she canât get out?â I heard a familiar male voice saying from close by.
âYes, Iâm sure,â Jazzy said in return. âBy this time tomorrow, your daughter will become the strongest
Volana to ever exist and this one will be dead.â
Chapter 319 They Are Mine
âDo whatever you have to save my daughter from her horrible fate,â the man said.
I held my breath, waiting for this man to step closer and into the light. Once he did, my entire heart fell
deep into my stomach, and I had to stifle a scream as I stared at the face of Alpha Jonathan.
