Chapter75

Eliza’s POV

I was rocking Luke in the glider when I heard a commotion outside the room. “The prisoners have escaped!” I gasped, prisoners? My baby!

I was worried that we would cross paths, and something would happen to Luke. The door creaked open and in came tumbling four handsome men. I could smell one werewolf and three vampires. I gasped.

“Don’t come any closer!” I called out to them.

“Eliza, it’s us! Hurry we’ve come to save you!” The tall dark haired one with a lip ring said. His eyes looked so familiar, though.

“I don’t know who you are, you have the wrong person. Leave me and Luke alone!” I yelled.

“Luke? You named our baby, Luke?” He said with adoration in his eyes.

“Our baby? I don’t even know you.” I told him while backing away.

“Yes baby, you know all of us, this is Trey, Tanner, Jason, and I’m Luke. You named our son after me. Doesn’t he look just like me?”

I looked at little Luke,  he did look just like this man. NO! This has to be a coincidence.

“Look at us, Liz. You know deep in your heart that you know us.” The tall werewolf covered in tattoos said.

“Baby, we love you. Come with us and we’ll get this figured out. We don’t have much time. It’s now or never.” The blonde one said.

“I-I can’t. I don’t know you all. Jackson!” I cried out.

“Shit! Let’s regroup and come back,” the one named Luke said.

They ran out the door and took off. A minute later Jackson came running in the room. “Baby, are you okay?” He called out as soon as he opened the door.

“I’m here! I’m fine!” He let out an audible breath. “Thank god, I was worried about you two. Come, let’s take you someplace safe.” He ushered me and Luke out of the room and took us to another room with a large steel door.

“Hide in here, I’ve got to go, baby. I have to find the prisoners. I’ll be back. I love you.” He kissed me deeply before taking off and locking the door.

“I love you, too.” I whispered to the door after it shut.

That was the first time Jackson told me he loved me. It was so sudden I don’t even know if he realized it.

I touched my lips as I sat down on the bed with Luke. Those men seemed so familiar. Are they from my forgotten past? Why would they be prisoners here? There were many questions that I had and I felt like Jackson would have some answers. I just had to wait for his return.

Luke’s POV

We found Eliza and our son. He had been born and she named him after me. Why didn’t she recognize us though? We had found where she was from her scent but when we tried to rescue her, she freaked out. Little Luke looked just like me. I’m officially a father. I was dying of thirst from having been desiccated so long but we didn’t have time to stop. We had to escape and regroup.

Once we cleared the land around the estate we stopped running for a moment.

“What do we do?” Asked Jason.

“I have no idea,” Tanner answered.

“I think we need help.” Trey said.

“Who?” I asked.

“What about that guy she almost married, her boss’s brother, Liam?” Trey said while scratching his chin. I didn’t like the idea but maybe he was right. We needed help after all.

“Okay, let’s go see him.” I said to the group. “But first, I need to drink. Let’s find some place nearby with people and do a little hunting before we go.”

“Agreed,” Tanner said. We took off running into a neighboring town and us three vampires found some woman to drink from.

“Thank you, ma’am.” I told the blonde after I finished drinking from her. I then glamoured her into forgetting what just happened. We met up on the outside of town and decided we didn’t need to waste any time, we needed to see Liam immediately. We took off on our journey to ask the enemy for help.

Liam’s POV

“Sire, there’s someone here to see you. A few someones actually.” The attendant said.

“Tell them to go away.” I drawled while reading over a few documents.

“Sire, I’m afraid they insist. It has to do with Ariana.” He replied.

“Ariana? Send them in right away!” I told him. What could these fellows possibly have to say about Ariana?

The four men who crashed my wedding came quickly into the room. “We need your help!” One of them said immediately.

“How do you need my help, where is Ariana?” I asked them, not wanting to dance around the reason for their visit.

“She’s been taken by the werewolf king, Jackson. She had our baby already, but that’s not the problem. When we tried to rescue her, she didn’t recognize us!” The dark haired one without the lip ring said.

“Sounds like the work of a witch. Where is she now?” I said. I can’t believe these idiots let Ariana be taken by the werewolf king.

“She’s at his estate, but she’s refusing to come with us. We need her back with my child.” Mr. lip ring said.

“I see.” I snapped my fingers, beckoning forth my assistant Gerald.

“Gerald, get me Irina, tell her the matter is urgent.” I commanded. “Irina is a witch, if she’s been spelled in any sort of way, she’ll know.”

“Thank you, Liam.” The wolf said.

I raised my hand to stop him. I didn’t want their thanks, I wanted their woman.

“You owe me.” I told them.

“What do you want?” The wolf asked.

“Ariana, of course.” I told them.

“That’s up to her, she has free will.” The blonde one said.

“No matter. Anyway, what are your names? I figure I should know the names of the men who stole my bride.”

“I’m Luke, this is Tanner, Trey and Jason.” The vampire with the lip ring said.

“I see. As you know, I am Liam. Well men, we’ll get her back soon. Let’s wait for Irina to get here.”

We sat around for a few minutes in silence before there was a knock on the door.

“You summoned, your highness?” Irina asked.

“Yes, you remember Ariana? We think a witch messed with her memories. Do you have an effective way to help her remember everything? If that was the case?” I asked.

“Hm, I do. Let me get to work on an antidote right away. I only need one hour.” She said as she turned to leave my office.

“We have one hour to come up with a plan. We are going to need an army.” I declared.

I called up my little brother, Justin and asked him to get Warren and come immediately. When I told him it had to do with Ariana he quickly agreed.

“So what’s the plan?” Jason asked.

“We take our army and take her by force.” I said. There would be no way around it, blood would need to be shed.

The wolf hung up his phone, “I called Harry and asked him to bring his warriors, as well.”

“Hopefully we have enough manpower that we can take her and the child unscathed.” Jason said.

“I’ll call Derek.” Tanner said before standing up and walking to a corner of the room to make a phone call.

“Alright boys, time to go to war.” I clapped my hands together. I had relented previously when Eliza left me because it was of her own will, however, if someone messed with her mind and memories, it doesn’t scream free will, to me.

Jackson’s POV

The prisoners escaped. I should’ve killed them! I don’t need this mess with a pup on the way. I was certain that Eliza was pregnant after these last few days.

I went back into the room where Eliza was sleeping with Luke. She looked like an angel. I caressed her hair and gave her cheek a kiss. Love? I never expected it for myself but here I was, in love. I’ll be damned if I let her go.

“Baby?” Eliza stirred in the bed.

“Yes, love?” I asked her.

“Do I know the prisoners?” She asked. Motherfucker. Here they are already planting seeds of doubt in her mind. I needed to nip this in the bud.

“Baby, I don’t think so. I don’t know personally.” I told her.

“So why were they prisoners?” She asked. Fuck.

“Um, well, they were trying to overthrow the kingdom.” I told her, hoping she’d buy the lie.

“Hm.” She hummed. I don’t think I really convinced her. “Why does our child look exactly like the one vampire? He said his name was Luke.”

“Maybe he was your lover? I don’t know, it could be a coincidence or maybe a trick they’re trying to play on you. Either way, I wouldn’t pay it much attention. We can’t let them come between us, love.” I cupped her face. “I love you. I’m here for you, Luke, and our unborn baby.”

She gasped, “do you think I’m pregnant again?”

I nodded, “I’m certain of it.”

She smiled wide, “you’re right, we can’t let them divide us. There’s too much to lose. I love you, too, Jackson.”

It was my turn to smile. She loves me. This was an even better feeling than I could’ve imagined.

“Come on baby, let’s make love.” I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively. She giggled and placed Luke down on the bed, making sure he was still asleep.

She came back to me and brought her lips up to mine. “Thank you for being honest with me, Jackson.” She said before kissing me deeply. I plunged my tongue into her mouth and picked her up by the ass. My cock begged to be freed.  Without hesitation, I pushed her panties to the side, undid my zipper and plunged right in.

She gasped and moaned as I guided her up and down on my cock. Her sweet heat the best feeling ever. She squeezed my cock uncontrollably, cumming all over it while I released my seed into her womb.

Panting, we pressed our foreheads together and brought our lips together again. Without removing my cock from her pussy, I felt myself reharden and then I started pumping again and again. We continued until finally she cried out that she couldn’t take any more. I laid her on the bed, cum dripping out her hole, and she fell fast asleep.
