Adam POV It has been three days since the attack. Jenna had not yet awoken. Her parents had arrived within hours of me calling them. They had stayed by her bedside, except for eating and sleeping. I was with Jenna most of the time. I did grab a shower and change of clothes, provided her parents were with her. Her parents spent most of their time talking to her, reminding her of things that happened when she was growing up. Some of the stories were funny, sharing tidbits about her with me. Tidbits that I cherished learning. As much as Jenna wore a persona of being a spoiled woman, she was anything but. From a young age she had always put others first and her parents’ stories proved that. At one point, we thought she was waking up. Her eyes were fluttering and looked like she was trying to open them. But she did not, and we were left with that lost feeling once again. Her father had to return to the Pack. Duty called and he was frustr
Adam POV “Who are you?” Jenna asks. I am confused and stare at her. Is she serious or is she messing with me? Her mother looks at me and then at her daughter. I mind-link the doctor to get here immediately. Luna Ashley takes Jenna’s hand, “How do you feel sweetheart?” she asks Jenna. “I have a headache and I am thirsty, but I think I am okay,” she replies to her mother while watching me cautiously. My heart is breaking at the thought that she doesn’t know who I am. I step forward and take her hand. I still feel the sparks there and from the look on her face, she feels those same sparks. “You have been visiting me. Why?” she asks. I am quickly realizing she is remembering pieces of her past but not all. Doctor Rivers rushes in moving Jenna’s mother out of the way so he can check Jenna over. He does a thorough exam asking Jenna various questions to test her memory. I see a look of concern cross his face as he wonders about her rememberi
Jenna POV I had awoken to a stranger beside my bed. I did not know who he was or what he wanted. I knew when he touched me, I felt sparks, but what did that mean? I knew I had a head injury, from the doctor who came in and spoke to me. I didn’t understand how it had happened and I understood why the doctor wasn’t wanting to tell me too much of what I had experienced. It would go against protocol for any type of head injury with a short-term memory loss. He was accurate in what he was telling me. Something about the guy confused me. I realized I had not even got his name from him. As he walks out of my room, I look to my parents, “I want to go home,” I say to them. They both look at me sadly. “That would not be right baby girl,” my mother replies to me. “What do you mean?” I ask her confused. Why wouldn’t they take me home? “Jenna, your place is here with your mate,” my father says. “I don’t know him. He is a complete stranger to me.
Adam POV “Why haven’t you marked me yet?” Jenna asks me. Talk about tough questions right out of the gate. I knew it was a reasonable question. Most Alphas were very possessive and marked their mate within days, if not within hours, of meeting their fated mate. In my case, I was an ass who fucked everything up and was left now trying to explain that without divulging too much information that might cause more damage. “We were not ready yet,” I reply to Jenna as she stares at me. “Not to sound like a two-year-old, but why were we not ready?” she asks. “Jenna, you know I cannot share much about what you don’t remember. It will suffice to say I made some mistakes early in our relationship and I am trying to make amends for them now,” I reply to her. She simply looks at me for moments. Staring. And then finally looks away. “Well, if you will not tell me, I guess you get a clean slate … until I remember,” she says with conviction. Nodding my
Jenna POV Adam had a secret that he was not sharing with me. I was tired and not sure I cared at the moment about it. I loved being in his arms. I felt safe, secure, and warm. Yes warm. The sparks bouncing between us, and the mate bond were definitely inducing warmth throughout my body. I do not know how we have not been together yet, but it was definitely top of mind for me. Being in his arms was divine. He smelled amazing. A combination of pine and vanilla. And his muscles. He was so strong. I knew I was not a big she-wolf, but I felt secure with him. As we walked across the parking lot, he said hello to Pack members along the way. Most were just smiling away at the antics of their Alpha carrying his Luna. Luna. I had never really considered my ranking in a Pack. I had always been focused on a medical career and I still was. I simply had other priorities that came to mind as I thought about Adam and the Pack. I cannot remember th
Adam POV “Stay?” Jenna asks me. There is nothing I want more than to crawl into bed and just hold her. It was what I had been dreaming of hearing from her for more than a week. But I had work to do, and I knew it was wrong to take advantage of her. Taking hold of the hand that was holding my arm, I sit down beside her on the bed. “Jenna, I would love to crawl into that bed with you, but I have work I must see to,” I say to her. I see the disappointment cross her face and it pains me to know I am the cause of it. “I understand,” she murmurs moving to roll over. I stop her and place a soft kiss on her lips. She opens her mouth and slides her tongue into my mouth. Sliding my tongue across hers, I relish in the taste of my mate. Our kiss deepens as she sits up and we are fighting for dominance. I feel her hands move to my chest, wanting to touch my skin. I can feel her hand inch down toward the hem of my shirt before I realize what is happe
Jenna POV I woke much later in the day. From outside I could see darkness had fallen and nobody had come to wake me up. I felt much more refreshed and starving. Rolling over I look around the room. Aside from the light beside my bed being on, the room was in darkness. Getting up I needed to use the washroom and brush my teeth. Looking at myself in the mirror, I tossed my hair up into a messy bun before going back to my closet to put some clothes on that would be more suitable for hunting down something to eat. Walking into my closet I saw my things all out and in the right place. Clearly, I had settled into this room, my things were all here. My clothes were all here. Everything from the comfort of my home. I put on some leggings with a sports bra and zipper jacket over it. It was my go-to for casual and comfortable. And right now, I wanted to be comfortable. Stepping out of my closet, I move toward the door heading out into the hall.
Jenna POV Adam had walked me back to my room after I had eaten supper along with a couple cupcakes. He had gently kissed me on my lips, before stepping back and letting me go into my room. While I felt frustrated at his lack of enthusiasm to be with me, I had to respect he was not rushing me. And maybe there was a reason we should wait until, hopefully, my memories come back to me. And if they do not come back to me, I may have to accost him myself, I think with a chuckle. Crawling back into bed, I don’t bother to change. I feel like I used all my energy eating and talking to Adam. I was excited about seeing what they had to offer at the hospital. I did want to finish my studies, but I also wanted to be a good Luna for the Red Pine Pack. I had to keep reminding myself of the name of the Pack. I had been ensconced in my own Pack for eighteen years, it was hard to think of myself as a new Pack member. Although now that I think about it, I
