LENA'S POV I downed another shot, raking my fingers in-between my hair like i was going crazy. Of course i was.The music at the bar was brain splitting but gradually faded in my head, the people dancing and the cheers also slowed. Almost like they were simply in my imagination.My mind trailed back to earlier, when Arlo had leaned towards me and left my heart breathless, my body longing for him and my head screaming at me to pull his lips into mine.“You were simply my way of attaining power Lena, a pawn in my dirty games. And you were no doubt a reliable one”.Those words haunted me, echoing repeatedly in my head. It all felt absurd, how could he say all that we felt was a lie?My heart ached, it hurt so bad i couldn't even cry. My thoughts spiralled around the fact that i had just lost to Megan again. Not only my inheritance but the man i loved as well.Kyra howled sorrowfully, hurting just as much as i was. But we both lacked comfort and the ability to console eachother.Everythi
LENA'S POV “What?” I chuckled, so much that i was laughing hard in no time. It sounded so amusing. Arlo wasn't the type to get involved with women, so how was he suddenly getting married? I expected Ivy to laugh too, to tell me she was simply trying to pull a prank to get my jealous reaction, but she didn't. Instead, she wore a solemn look, daring not to look up at me. My smile slowly slipped as it finally dawned on me that this was no joke. Why was he getting married now, is this the work of his pack elders again?But he was a stubborn person, he'd never bent to their will once before. Why was all of this happening now“Ivy” I called, my heart beating faster as a thought suddenly hit me. “It's not Megan right?”Thinking of how things had been between them in the past, she was the first person that came to my mind.Ivy let out a sigh, she opened her mouth as if to say something but said nothing. She only sighed again.“Why would Arlo…Megan?...what exactly has come over him?” I tri
LENA'S POV I forced my eyes open, panting like i was running out of breath. I stared blankly at the room where i was for over five minutes before finally realising where i was.I got up from the bed and tried to walk but my legs gave way and i fell to the ground.How long had i been unconscious? Why was i suddenly unable to walk?I managed to get up and carefully walked over to the window, lifting up the blinds. The sun was rising slowly, casting a faint glow in the room. Though cold, the air felt absolutely refreshing, like cold mint on my skin.Just as i was busy admiring the beauty of the morning, a nurse came into the room.“You're awake?” she rushed over to me, obviously amazed. “Do you feel pain or discomfort anywhere?”“No” I shook my head, watching her get all over me with zero understanding of what was going on.“No?” She continued observing my body. “Not even a headache?”“I'm fine nurse” I chucked, wondering why she seemed so excited. I'd only been out for a few hours, or
ARLO'S POV It had been twenty four hours and Lena was yet to wake up, the doctors said it was due to the shock that accompanied the return of her memories.They suspected it was forced, but i obviously knew better. Of course they wouldn't know. Our existence alone contradicted everything they believed.I hastened the wedding plans with Megan, not sure how long Lena would stay unconscious. I needed to do everything before she woke up, that was the only way she wouldn't get hurt or know if possible.I glanced at my wristwatch, wondering why Briar was late. He was supposed to be here ten minutes ago, or did he suddenly forget how impatient i was.“Sorry I'm late” Briar stormed in, panting like he'd just run round a track field.“Speak of the devil” I mumbled, glaring at him. “What happened to five-thirty being five-thirty?”“I'm sorry about that, it's my fault for not getting ready on time” Ivy came in behind him, sitting on the couch opposite me.I turned to Briar with a brow arched,
ARLO'S POV I watched keenly from the corner as Megan rambled through a small drawer hidden in the walls of her office.“Nice place for a safe” I said, not as a compliment but a sarcastic remark. Funny how she didn't notice. “I know right. Even Lena has no idea about this” she said, turning to me with a wooden box. “Torben had me keep this, he said to guard it with my life. Is my life worth just this junk?” She snorted.Inside the box was a picture of Lena, but something about it felt off. Her hair from brow point upwards was erased.“So this is how she lost her memory” I said between a clenched jaw. That damn prick used witchcraft.My fist tightened as i wanted nothing more than to punch Torben in the face. “You got a lighter?” I asked.Megan's eyes narrowed. “Hold on, what're you gonna do?”“Burn this” I blurted. “The spell needs to be broken”“No!” She blocked me. “I'm afraid i can't let you do that”“Why?” I frowned.“So you can ditch me and run back to her?” I let out a sigh.
LENA'S POV I sat on the bed, watching as Ivy stirred a bowl full of chicken soup, it smelled nice but looked so weird.“You're sure i've eaten this before” I tried not to look disgusted.“Of course, it's your favourite” she said sickly, probably as a result of being asked the same question for the hundredth time.“Okay” I mumbled, not wanting her to get upset.She placed the bowl in front of me and handed me a spoon.“Just feed it to me, I'm not sure i can use that stuff properly” I pointed at the spoon.Ivy glared at me with disbelief. “Your clumsiness is going to make me loose it, she forced a smile.“Be nice” I pouted, letting her feed me a large portion. It didn't taste as bad as it looked, it was infact the exact opposite. “It's so delicious”“That's why you loved it” she chuckled. I took the bowl from her and ate it myself.A guy came in while i was eating, Ivy walked over with smiles and hugged him. My guess, it was her boyfriend whose name i couldn't even remember.“I didn't
