บททั้งหมดของ Fated but Forgotten...: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

I have no clue what had happened between us. We had edged our way closer. The mood between us had altered, of that there was no denying. And then, as Rocco had his hand resting on my cheek it felt so perefect… a warmth running through me I did not expect. Until he ran his thumb so tenderly across my lower lip and that moan slipped from my lips. A moan I did not expect. A moan that brought color to my cheeks. But a moan that I think told me I may want him more than I had realized.A smile was playing on Rocco’s lips, and I moved that little bit closer, my eyes closing to cherish the sensation of his touch. It felt so wrong… so foreign… yet oddly so right… and so familiar. It made so little sense to me. And, the moment his lips met mine it felt like an explosion of heaven within my mind. My mind flooded with so many thoughts.This was a man that had been by my side for so many days trying to prove he was there for me. His kisses were tender yet full of need. Passionate. Hungry… and with

Since the Beta had more than awkwardly dumped me in the hospital and ran, I had barely seen him. He had called in each day with a coffee, as promised, but there had always been an excuse as to why he had to head off. Always an urgent pile of paperwork that needed his attention. Or some incident in pack that simply could not be solved without his prescense. In short, it was clear he did not want to be around me. Why he did not just open up and admit that what had happened between us had made him feel uncomfortable I do not know.It had confused me more than made me uncomfortable. It had felt good to be that close to him, and that scared me. Learning he and I had shared some form of history intrigued me, but nobody seemed willing to elaborate on that history, and I had tried to find out more. Oh boy, had I tried. Doctors, nurses, I had even asked to see if the Luna was free, but she had yet to come and see me. Nobody was willing to give up any information, and it frustrated me. Then, th

I did not feel comfortable with the way Rocco was acting. So the way he reached for me irritated me, and I instinctively went to stand on my own. I could see the awkward glances between the nurse and him, but I did not care. I wished right now I had other friends to call. Anyone I could ask to allow me to stay with them, but I did not even know where my phone may have gone.I had asked multiple times since being admitted to the hospital, only to be told it must have been lost during the attack. I could do with it now more than ever. Surely on that phone would be contacts. Contacts of friends. Family. People who could help me. I should not be staying with a man I do not know properly. Yes, we may have shared some form of history, but I did not know him. I do not feel a few photographs allowed enough of a connection to say I should be living with the man!I awkwardly walked, or more a case of plodded along the corridor, following the nurse in front of me, Rocco by my side, being guided

I had my outburst and I walked away. Admittedly, not all that fast, but I did my best to storm away. I half expected Rocco to rush after me, but instead I heard muffled voices behind me, making me assume he and the medical staff were discussing things… or more specifically, me. I had most definitely given them plenty to talk about.But, I had no intention of turning back. I kept walking, the pain in my legs still there, but not quite as bad as it had been, which I have to say was a relief. Each step I made I expected Rocco to appear, but he never did, and as I reached the bottom of the corridor, where it veered off into two directions, I was surprised to say the least. I had most certainly exected him to be here by now, it would not have taken him much to catch up with me.I turned to the right, opting for that corridor because it was the emptier of the two, hoping there may be an empty room I may walk past that I would be able to hide in for a time, until I was

I looked to the nurse with confusion. “Letters?” I asked, and she smiled at me, all fear that had been displayed upon her face moments ago now gone, as she nodded at me.“Yes, Beta. I have not looked at them, but she must have been thinking of you to be writing to you these last few days. I think she missed your visits.” She suggested, and my heart twisted at her words. My rushed calls had been causing her pain? I know the reason behind my swift visits to the hospital was more to avoid my discomfort but I believed it would help Aria too. I thought she would appreciate the space. The awkward tension between us…“Do you think so?” I asked quietly, and the nurse smiled again.“I think the fact she was asking for paper each day to write to you says a lot, do you not, Beta?” she said, offering me the letters again. I tentatively took them, before sitting myself upon the edge of Aria’s bed, my heart inexplicably pounding as I looked down to the papers within my hands. “I will leave you in p
