บททั้งหมดของ We Are Destined Mates: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

Brooke. We rush through the forest to get to the pack, and when we arrive, there is a commotion ongoing.At first, we think it is because of us. That they are cross that we were not present, and that the Alpha is looking for Alexander. There was a gathering at the village square, and sounds of distress and unrest were coming from the crowd gathered around the stage. Cursing ourselves for losing track of time while we were kissing in the forest, we make our way towards them, trying to come up with excuses, and wondering how to tell Alpha Maddox about what happened.But as we near the gathering, we see something unexpected.Jenna and Caster are on the stage, and Jenna is being held by two of the pack guards. She’s crying, her expression terrified. Caster is pointing at her, looking angry. He’s talking to the crowd.“What the hell?” I mutter, and Alexander’s eyes narrow.“This is bad,” He mutters, and we hurry to the gathering.Caster’s words start to reach my ears, “…are we supposed to

Brooke.Mother.The woman in purple who was in the picture was supposed to be my mother.And who told me that? My father.The more I think about this specific image freshly etched into my brain now, the more familiar it becomes. It’s a memory, I’m sure of it.The cliff triggered me somehow to see a memory of my mother.My heart races in my chest, and I can’t help the tears of elation that falls down my cheeks. By now I’ve realized that my eyes had the tendency to leak with every intense emotion that I have, and while it was humiliating when it threatened to happen in the public, now that I was in private, I could let the tears fall freely as I run the memory in my head over and over again.The memory insinuates that the younger version of me who is looking at the portrait did not know who the woman is before her father told her that she was the woman who gave birth to her. I also thought about another woman whom this father of mine had married, giving way to the theory that my mother w

Brooke. “I think the panic attacks are a result of whatever trauma you experienced before you lost your memory,” Physician Dale Baker states after a long, drawn silence.Alexander had led me to the Lunar Legacy Clinic before he went to the Forge, and I only had to wait a few moments before Dale Baker came in. Upon seeing me he’d greeted me with a smile, and inquired as to why I was there. When I told him it was a medical concern, he’d call me into a room next to the infirmary where he normally met with patients.As soon as we sat down, I began to tell him all about the panic attacks, and he asked me some questions. When I normally got them, what triggered them, who I was with when they happened etc. After I gave all his questions thorough answers, he went quiet and started to think.I also told him about the memory I saw of my past, of the picture of the purple-clad woman.My attention snaps back to the physician at his words. I’ve been observing the meeting room as he was thinking, s

Brooke. I wanted to run away.Oh, why, oh, why did he have to catch me now? Had he been moments late, I would’ve made it to the Forge without having to engage in this bizarre conversation.I have no idea why Caster wants to court me. It makes no sense, we barely knew anything about each other, and he was measuring everything about my character from my looks, and my screaming at him yesterday in Jenna’s and Alexander’s defense. I don’t understand how he came to the conclusion he did with only that, but he is so wrong. Fit to be a Luna?I wasn't even fit to look after myself, much less a pack! I didn’t even know my real name!Caster looks at me expectantly, and I stumble my way through my own mind to try to come up with the best way to reject him without hurting his feeling, in turn making him extremely unpleasant to deal with.“Look, Caster,” I start, “I’m flattered that you even considered courting me, I really am. But you seriously cannot be considering this with me.”His brows furro

Brooke. After that event, Jenna, and Mikaela by association, become my friends. Apart from meeting up at the Training ranges, we take trips around the pack together, and on weekends when we don’t want, comes to hang out with us sometimes. They are pretty fun to spend time with, and they introduce me to various aspects of pack living like the public bathhouse, stalls in the market where to get the best things and take me to the tavern to have some fun. Because of the uncertainty of my age, I am not allowed to drink, but that doesn’t bother me. I still have a good time with my friends. I also notice that after the whole incident with Jenna, the members of the Lunar Legacy pack are friendlier to me. They greet me when they pass by and smile, even engaging in small talk sometimes.At first, I find this bizarre albeit delightful, as if the change had come over the pack overnight, but Alexander explains it by pointing out that because I stood up for Jenna and Alexander, two of their own as
