Chapter 4

• Lucas POV
• Staring at Enise's picture sitting proudly on my work table, I can't help but miss her, miss her smile ànd her tenderness.
• I can't believe it's been five years. Five years ànd everytime I think about her at night, sleep helps me.
• It's been five years of trying to pretend to be fine when deep down I know I'm nothing but fine.
• If someone told me that I'd spend five years consumed by nothing but guilt, I'll not have agreed but here I am, a wreckage of who I used to be.
• Every damn day, I have to wake up and fulfill my alpha duties ànd also take care of my daughter, our daughter. The only good thing my wife left for me.
• Just thinking about my daughter ,Miracle makes me smile. She is the exact copy of her mother. From her beauty to her bubbly personality.
• Seeing her reminds me of the grave mistake I committed against Enise.
• Taking her daughter away from her and allowing Laura to drive her to her death.
• They say that the hospital she was confined in burnt down leaving behind no survivors. In the first years, I didn't believe she was gone, that my Enise was dead but after waiting for her to come back to us, the reality started sinking in.
• Enise was gone, never to return again.
• They say that it was an accident but I have never believed it.
• The cause, the evidence of the reason the fire broke out was easily identified and I believe that it was planted evidence.
• But who can I blame? At first, I suspected Laura but then again, that night, she laid in bed, sick.
• She could barely stand up, talk less about orchestrating such a big act.
• A knock on my door forces me to snap out of my depressing thoughts and put the picture back in the drawer where I store all my memories.
• "Come in" I order and watch as the door opens and the most beautiful girl I have ever seen steps inside, a bright smile lighting up her face.
• "Daddy!" My little angel yells before running towards me. I squat and catch her in my arms before kissing her cheeks, the softness of her skin against my lips.
• "Hi my little angel. Did you miss me?" I ask her, staring into her light blue eyes, the exact replica of her mother.
• "Yes daddy, very much." She tells me. I smile down at her before putting her back on her feet and she takes a few steps back.
• Lifting her in my arms, I settle on the couch ànd acknowledge my beta's preserve.
• " Why did you come back so soon?" I àsked ànd Marcus shrugged.
• " The doctor turned us down from picking her at the airport. She said she will arrive to sign the contract tomorrow." Marcus answered ànd I frowned.
• She turned them down?
• " Isn't she a foreigner? How would she navigate around?" I could not help but ask but the look on Marcus' face told me he was clueless.
• " Alright, I'll just meet her at the hospital tomorrow." I said,
• " Can I come to the hospital with you!" Miracle's sweet voice sounded as she stared at me with her cute doe-like eyes.
• Seeing the anticipation in her eyes, I could not help but smile sadly.
• " Unfortunately, you can't Miracle. You Know that you can't go out of the house consecutively for your own safety." I replied
• " But daddy-"
• " No buts, sweetie. It's for your own safety. Go play in your room and I'll send someone to get you for dinner later." I interrupted her.
• Although reluctant, Miracle nodded before exiting the room.
• Turning to Marcus, I gave him a questioning look.
• " No news of her yet. It's like she vanished into thin air." Marcus replied, making me sigh.
• " Do yóu think she hates me?" I àsked and he shrugged.
• " I don't know. What I do know is that you did the right thing by telling Miracle about her real mother.
• As much as Laura adored Miracle, the fact still remains that she didn't give birth to her.
• Ànd the issue of not being my sister, maybe that pushed her even more to leave." Marcus replied.
• Two years ago on my daughter's birthday, I had come clean to her about her biological mother.
• Back then, things weren't going well between Laura and I but to be miracle's mother, she stayed by my side.
• Maybe that triggered her from disappearing from our lives.
• " About your sister, do yóu plan on finding her?" I àsked Marcus but he shook his head.
• " It's been twenty five years, do yóu think it's possible to find her? Besides, you are busy with miracle's health, I need to be here to assist you in managing the pack."
• I nodded in agreement.
• The following day, I left the pack to the hospital after accompanying my daughter for breakfast.
• The surgeon we hired for her upcoming surgery would be arriving to sign the contract.
• She is said to be the best there is. I Just hope she can help Miracle with her illness.
• Arriving at the hospital, I headed straight to the director's office where the contract would be signed.
• " Alpha," director Trevor greeted me ànd I nodded as he ushered me to his office.
• Looking around, I didn't spot anyone in the room making me frown.
• " She is not here yet?" I àsked, glaring at the man who cowered back.
• " She called to say she will be here in five minutes." He replied and as much as I was pissed to be kept waiting, I swallowed my annoyance ànd slumped on the seat, choosing to scroll through my phone.
• Barely three minutes later, the door was pushed open and a sweet scent of jasmine mixed with lemon filled my nose.
• Lifting my face, my phone slipped past my fingers and I stood up in a jerk.
• " Enise!"
