The Wolf Who Forgot
He asked me to take everything.
Every kiss. Every fight. Every quiet morning he ever let himself be soft with me. Every single memory of the five years we spent loving each other in secret.
He said it was the only way to keep me safe. That if he walked into the enemy’s camp knowing he had a mate, they would use me to destroy him. So he asked me to hold his memories inside me, like I was a box he could trust, and he promised he would come back for them in six months.
That was five years ago.
Caius is home now. But he doesn’t remember me. He doesn’t remember any of it. And the worst part? He is falling in love with me all over again, slowly, the way he did the first time, and I am standing here with all of him inside my head, watching him meet me like a stranger.
I know every single thing about him. His nightmares. The way he takes his coffee. The scar on his ribcage from the night he almost died protecting me. The exact words he said when he first told me he loved me.
He knows nothing about me.
And now the people he spent five years hunting are closing in, the mission is falling apart, and the only way to save him is to give him back everything he asked me to take.
But if I do that, he will remember everything they did to me while he was gone. And the Caius who remembers is not the kind of man who lets things go.

Chapter: Chapter Six: Closer Than SafeMIRA POV“He took the coffee back.”Sable put his fork down.“Sorry?”“When he left. He took both coffees with him. I don’t know why I keep thinking about that part.”My brother looked at me across my kitchen table with the expression that meant he was deciding how to say the next thing. He’d shown up an hour ago with food from the place on Deller Road, the one we’d been ordering from since we were teenagers, and he’d put containers on the table and sat down and waited. He was good at waiting. He had been doing it with me for five years.“Start from the beginning,” he said. “The corridor. All of it.”So I told him. The coffee showing up wrong. The questions. The step closer. What Caius had said before he left. Sable listened the whole way through without interrupting, which was unusual for him, and by the time I finished he had both elbows on the table and his hands pressed together in front of his mouth like he was trying to keep something in.“Okay,” he said finally.“Okay?”“This i

Chapter: Chapter Five: She Is Lying And I Know ItMIRA POV“You look terrible.”That was Dani, at the front desk, not even looking up when I walked in. She had a pen behind her ear and a stack of intake forms in front of her and the particular expression of someone who had already been at work for an hour and had feelings about it.“Thank you,” I said.“Did you sleep?”“Some.”She looked up at me properly then. Did the quick scan that people who knew you well did, top to bottom, checking. “You want to talk about it?”“Not even a little bit.”“Fair enough.” She went back to her forms. “There’s fresh coffee in the back. Actual coffee, not the powder. And someone’s been in the side corridor for about ten minutes. I was going to say something but he’s not doing anything, just standing there.” She paused. “Tall. Dark jacket. Very tall.”I stopped walking.“Did he say anything?”“No. He’s just standing. Should I call someone?”“No,” I said. “It’s fine. I’ll handle it.”She watched me change direction toward the side entrance with an expres

Chapter: Chapter Four: The Weight of Five YearsMIRA POVMy phone had fourteen unread messages from Sable when I finally looked at it.The first one was from this morning, right after I’d left for the meeting. You okay? Then one an hour later. Then two more after that, spaced out, the gaps getting shorter each time, the way his messages always did when I stopped responding .. patient at first, then less patient, then the one that just said Mira. with a full stop at the end, which meant he was close to getting in his car.The last one, sent twelve minutes ago, said: I’m outside. Buzz me up or I’m calling Petra.I pressed the buzzer without getting up.I was on the kitchen floor. Back against the cabinet under the sink, knees pulled up, still in the same clothes I’d worn to the meeting. I’d come home, dropped my bag by the door, and just .. ended up here. Didn’t plan it. The couch was right there. The bedroom was right there. The floor just felt easier. Smaller. More manageable.I heard him take the stairs instead of the lift. He alw

Chapter: Chapter Three: Haunted By Something I Cannot NameCAIUS POV“You’ve read that one already.”Orion said it from the doorway without looking up from his own stack of papers. He’d been standing there for two minutes doing exactly that .. not coming in, not leaving, just existing in the doorway the way he did when he had something to say and was deciding whether to say it.“I know,” I said.“That’s the third time.”“Orion.”“I’m just saying.” He finally came in and sat in the chair across from my desk, dropping his papers on his knee. He didn’t say anything else. He just looked at me with that face he’d been making since we were twenty-two, the one that meant he’d already figured out whatever I was still trying to figure out and was waiting for me to get there.I put the file down.“She’s a healer’s assistant,” I said.“Yes.”“Five years with the pack. Clean record. Nothing unusual.”“Also yes.”“So why does her file feel like it’s missing something?”Orion tilted his head. “What does your gut say?”“My gut says I’ve lost my mind.”“You

Chapter: Chapter Two: Everything I Cannot SayMIRA POV“You’ve been standing out here for like four minutes.”I turned around. A woman I didn’t recognise was sitting on the bench across the corridor with a coffee cup in one hand and her phone in the other, not even looking up from the screen when she said it.“I’m early,” I said.“Door’s not locked.”I know that. I knew that. I just hadn’t been able to make my hand reach for the handle yet.I’d practised in front of my bathroom mirror this morning. Not what to wear, not what to say exactly .. just my face. What my face should look like walking into a room and seeing someone for the first time. Neutral. Open. Slightly friendly but not too friendly. The kind of face that has absolutely no history behind it.I’d practised for twenty minutes and I still wasn’t sure I had it right.The woman on the bench glanced up finally. “You’re number eleven, right? He’s running on time. You’re up.”I pushed the door open and went in.He was already there.Of course he was already there. Caius was

Chapter: Chapter One: The File With His Name On ItMIRA POV“Mira.”I didn’t look up.“Mira, that’s the third time I’ve refilled your mug and you haven’t touched it.”Dani was leaning against the doorframe of my office .. well, not my office, it was a shared room with two desks and a filing cabinet that didn’t close properly, the bottom drawer forever stuck halfway open .. and she had that look on her face. The one she got when she’d been holding something back and was about to stop holding it.“I’m fine,” I said.“You’ve been staring at that file for forty minutes.”“I’m reviewing it.”“Mira.” She pushed off the frame and crossed the room and sat on the edge of the other desk with her arms folded. “It’s a two-page file. What exactly are you reviewing?”I put it down. Face down, so I didn’t have to look at his name on the tab anymore.“Nothing,” I said. “I’m done.”She watched me for a second. Dani had been in the healer centre for eight years and she had a real talent for knowing when people were lying but also a talent for knowing w
