Alpha Ethan's POVI could see the dumbfounded look in her eyes as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She seemed shocked and confused. Her eyes were filled with a series of questions as she stared back at the doctor, then at me before looking back at the mirror. "Is this me?" she asked in disbelief while continuing to stare at the mirror with an open mouth. "Is this me?" she repeated the question to herself. Stunned and shocked, she looked at the doctor and then looked at me. "So what you guys are telling me is true, it's been seven years gone?" She asked with stunned eyes and the doctor nodded. "It's been seven years gone, but it's just temporary," he tried assuring her, but she shook her head in disbelief and looked back at the mirror before looking at me, then at Jaya, who has been staring at her, worried and sad."This can't be happening," she mumbled in disbelief and closed her eyes. I noticed she murmured words to herself and then pinched herself several times before ope
Zoey's POVI stared at him as I waited for him to explain to me why I didn’t have his mark on me when he claims he is my mate and we've met each other for almost seven years, and we even have a child. I noticed he gulped and took a step toward me, but didn't come closer. “Hello,” I asked again, and he flashed a weak smile and took a step closer to me. “It's complicated,” he responded, and I became more confused. “Explain,” I urged with curiosity. He sighed and took the seat beside the little boy. “We will talk about this when you are discharged,” he pleaded, while I stared at him with questions, wondering what he was up to and what he was hiding from me.“Mother, do you remember us now?” The little boy asked with so much expectation in his eyes that I wished I could tell him that I remembered him. In fact, I wished I could remember him, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't remember him. My memories of him were blank.I held his gaze and could see that he was waiting for me
Alpha Ethan’s POV“Shit,” I grumbled inwardly to myself as I held her gaze while she waited for me to answer her questions. “Say something, come up with something,” my wolf urged me when he realized I was silent. “Don’t give her a reason to doubt you,” he snapped at me, and quickly I came up with something. “It's not what you think. What you saw was just…” I trailed off, and then something came into my head. “We were having a misunderstanding, and I said that out of anger,” I said and saw the disbelief in her eyes. Obviously, she was finding it hard to believe me. “But after that, we made up. The fight wasn't a serious one,” I added, but that look of disbelief didn't leave her face.“I don't believe you,” she said, and my heart skipped a beat. “Just because I lost a few parts of my memory doesn't mean I can't detect when someone is lying. I study psychology in school, and I know that what you just said to me are lies,” she sneered, and I quickly shook my head in panic. “This is bad,”
Zoey's POVPanic and fear surged through me as I watched him leave the room. The minute he left, I let the bed and began pacing around the room as I wondered what was really happening. How could I believe this man who claims to be my mate but doesn't know anything about me, not even the tiniest thing about me? There was something fishy going on, and I had to do something about it. "What if all he said to me were lies? What if he was someone dangerous and wants to do something bad to me?" Those thoughts and other ideas buzzed in my head, making me panic so much that I jerked when the door opened, only to realize that it was the same nurse who came with another food tray. "We apologize for what happened," she said while I just smiled and took the tray from her. "No need to apologize, it's not your fault," I said, and she smiled. "Don’t hesitate to tell me if there is anything else you don’t like," she said, and I nodded and sat back on the bed.She turned and was about to leave, but I c
Zoey's POVAfter ending the mind link, I looked around, not sure of what I was doing and where I was going. But one thing is for sure: I won't be going back to that hospital. I can't be with him when all he tells are lies. With a heavy sigh, I began walking around, not sure where I was headed. I was confused and worried. I knew I needed to call father, but I was scared that Alpha Ethan would find me here. “What do I do?” I spoke worriedly as I ran my fingers through my hair. I was confused and panicked.“Hey, you look lost,” I heard a voice behind me, causing me to turn around and realize that it was the same man who had helped me with the coins. “Are you okay?” he asked, and all I could do was gulp. “Are you lost?” he asked while staring at me with questioning eyes, but I didn't know what to say. How do I tell a total stranger that I'm confused and worried? “I'm fine,” I murmured and tried walking away, but he stopped me by grabbing my left wrist. “You don't look well. Why don't you
Alpha Ethan's POVI didn't know what to feel as I looked at her. A part of me was relieved that I was able to find her, but another part of me was mad and furious at her. How could she run away just like that without thinking? What if something happened and I wasn't able to find her, and I lost her for good? What would become of Jaya? She has lost seven years of her memory, but that doesn't give her a reason to run away like that. She almost gave me a heart attack.“Let's go,” I told her, and without waiting for a response, I turned and began walking away, noticing that she followed me. We left the library, and one of my men opened the car door. I stepped aside for her to go in first, but she hesitated and stared at the car for a moment before shifting her gaze back to me. “Where are you taking me?” she asked curiously, and it got on my nerves. She had done something foolish, and I hadn't fully overcome that yet, and now this. “We are going back to the hospital,” I said, and she looke
Alpha Ethan’s POV“Not again,” I whispered to myself as I held her questioning gaze, which was awaiting my response. She had so much curiosity in her eyes, and I knew she was smart. Despite losing her memories, she would know if I were to lie to her, so I decided to tell the truth.“We are not married,” I announced and saw her brow furrow in confusion. “We are not married?” She asked to be sure she heard me right, and I nodded, trying to look anywhere except at her.I noticed she stared at me with disbelief for a moment before she opened her mouth to speak. “We've been together for six years now and we didn’t get married?” She questioned, and all I could do was gulp and look away. “This is unbelievable,” she said and held my gaze, waiting for me to give an answer. I took a deep breath and looked up at her. “We had an issue, but that’s a story for later,” I said and heard her scoff in disbelief. “What were we even?” She questioned, and I couldn’t say.An awkward silence filled the room
Zoey's POVMy heart was pounding in my chest as I stared at him with fear and anger. I could see the confusion in his eyes as he stared at the scattered plates on the floor. Then he looked up at me with so many questions in his eyes. “What… what…" He couldn't form proper words out of his lips as he continued staring at me with panic in his eyes. With a deep breath, I closed my eyes and tried to control my pounding heart in my chest. But then the memory played in my head again. In the memory that played in my head, I met Alpha Ethan on the bed with a woman, and then we had an argument. But the other parts weren't clear, and the next memory that played was when I saw myself standing before a cliff. A man tried to stop me, but I didn't listen to his plea; rather, I jumped off the cliff.The memory was so real and vivid, and no matter how hard I tried to wipe it off my memory, I just couldn't. Slowly, I opened my eyes and saw him still standing before me. Anger and hate surged through me
