Memory loss

Amora.

Reagan, as he introduced himself, begged me to let him stay for a while , so that he would have time to  figure out where he will go. I wonder what he was going to figure out, given that he was suffering from memory loss.

Also,he did not mention the fact that we were mates, since he couldn't remember it. I was happy about that and that would remain, till he leaves my pack.

I had a pack to run and the last thing I would want  was a mate who is controlling or wants to be at the top always as my father did.

I wanted to give my pack members the best. What my father couldn’t do for them,  is exactly what I want to give to them.

 Still,I couldn’t just trust someone I met in the forest, more to that, the blood forest. A place that was known to harbor evil and a lot of bad things .

The alpha that was killed in that forest, was the most feared Alpha of all times. He ruled the five  packs in heptadria and the only two I could remember were my pack and that of the Alpha in question, which was the Midnight pack. 

After his death, no news was ever heard of him or his pack. He had a son, who was just as powerful and intimidating as he was but nothing was ever heard of him, after his father died. Well, I was not yet born at that time.  My mother used to tell me all the stories. 

Though I couldn't trust Reagan, because I don't know if he had actually lost his memories or not. However, I took pity on him and decided to let him stay for a while.

  I took him to one of our pack houses that was not far from the main one, so that he could stay there for the time being.  I had asked Matilda, a middle aged woman and one of our pack workers to arrange the room for him, which she did and everything was set.

"Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate this offer, you keeping me here,  without any knowledge about who I am,  means a lot".

He wasn't even looking at me, the moment he said that. He was busy looking around the small white room, which had  a  bug bed, a table with a chair next to it, and the floor had a black hairy rug on it. To the right of the room, was another door, which led to the bathroom. 

"In as much as you are not here for ulterior motives, then you're safe here and if otherwise, you will  be dead before you know it".

I folded my hands across my chest and watched as he looked at his injured knee, with a depressed face. 

"I understand your worries" he curtly said and limped to the edge of the bed. He struggled to lean his walking stick against the wall. 

However, as he lifted the walking stick off the floor, it came in contact with the foot of the bed and the edge of the stick  made its way to his face, hitting him in the nose, which made him  groan "ahh!"

 Out of instinct, I rushed towards him and wrapped my hands behind him, to prevent him from falling and further injuring himself. 

A  wave of emotions and sensations spread through my hands, the moment my body came in contact with his.  I felt Lily stirred in my head. Whatever that was, I shook it off my head and turned to face him.

"I'm sorry...". My words didn't leave my mouth as I caught him staring at me with lips apart and blood running down his nostrils. 

"You are bleeding" I said, taking his attention off my face. " I will have the doctor check on you" I gently placed him on the bed and was about to leave, when he held my hand back. 

I glared at him with questioning brows "thank you, Amora, for everything, but I'm fine, you don't have to call the doctor".

He let go of my hand and laid his lower back on the bed.

"If you say so. If you need anything, you can get  to my beta, Carly or gamma, Suki;  the ones who took  you to the hospital. However,  I will have them check on you every often".

He nodded his head sadly ,   I wondered what his problem was. I was doing him a big favor by letting him stay.

-

"So you are so bent on not checking on the guy, Amora?".

I lifted up my head from the plate of food I have been eating and stared at Suki, who has been talking non stop.

"If she doesn't want him,  Don't force it.  At Least we have tried our best"

Carly beamed at me, with a blush. She picked a piece of pancakes from the white ceramic plate in front of her and put  it in her mouth. 

"You are right.  Since she is so adamant on rejecting him, then we have no choice". Suki added. 

'I have never really like Carly'

Lily whispered in my head. Which made me pause with the food in my mouth.

'Stop saying that about my friend'

I urged Lily to stop, but she wouldn't listen.  She loved going against me.

'I haven't liked her since the first day you two met. I doubt how you became friends till the point that she became your beta. That girl has a thick skin other than what you see'

She lamented.  And yes, Carly is not from our pack. My father had brought her into the pack a few years ago. He said she was some stranded girl he helped and since then, we have been living together, even after my father's demise.

However, he didn't explain any further.  I became close to her and we became friends. Though she always acts suspicious at times. Still, unlike Suki, she was good.

"Can we stop talking about me already".

This was already getting out of hand and they  needed to stop.

"Who knows, perhaps she just wants James instead "

They all burst out laughing and I angrily stood up.
