Zephyr kept staring at Bellona who looked like she would run away the moment he glances away from her. She looked scared and fragile~ the characteristics that was not familiar with her.It pained he so deeply that he was the cause of her predicament. What kind of werewolf and Alpha was he if he couldn't keep his mate safe?His thoughts were interrupted when the door opened and Lucian, Jake and his mate, Christine walked in.Jake and Lucian remained quiet as they stared at Zephyr in pity. He looked so depressed that they couldn't help but feel pity for him. While Christine approached Bellona slowly."Bellona." She called out softly and Bellona looked up at her because by now, she had come to realize that her name was Bellona since Zephyr had been calling her that."Bellona, do you know me?" Christine asked further and Bellona shook her head vigorously showing that she didn't know who Christine was. Then she moved back and gripped the pillow tightly against her chest."What happened to
"What is it that I have that she so badly wants." Bellona spoke up. She was now comfortable with Gwydion and she was also curious of what the witch wanted."I'm here to help you discover it and put it to good use." He said seriously."How do you mean?" She asked, confused about what he was talking about."You just have to trust me." He paused and stared at her before asking. "Do you trust me?"Bellona hesitated for a while. "I'm a good guy, I promise." Gwydion tried to convince her.Bellona observed him and after a while, she nodded subtly.Gwydion smiled widely. "Those guys who were here and also good guys." He said.Seeing the opportunity to ask the question that had been on her mind, she spoke up. "Who is that guy that was sitting next to me?"She had been curious of Zephyr's identity. She couldn't lie, he was a beauty to behold and she figured that she was getting attracted to him."He's your mate." Gwydion said."Mate?" Bellona tilted her head in confusion. "What's a mate?" She a
Jake couldn't hold back his concern anymore so he went to see Zephyr but before he could get there, he was stopped by his mate, Christine in the hallway leading to Zephyr's office."What is the problem?" He asked her tenderly and her eyes looked swollen like she had been crying. "Why are you crying?""It nothing." She forced out a smile. "Where are you going to?" "To see Zephyr. I need to know what's going on." Jake said."Can I come with you?" She pleaded.In as much as Jake didn't like rejecting his mate, he couldn't let her come with him. He wanted to speak with Zephyr privately and he doubted that Zephyr would open up with she present."I'm sorry but you can't. It's private." "Do you not trust me?" She whined and her head dropped sadly."It's not like I don't trust you." Jake drew her closer. "It's Zephyr. You know how he is. He won't open up when you're present." He tried to explain to her but he didn't need to do much because Christine was quite understanding."I understand."
"Someone from the past?" Zephyr asked just to be sure he heard correctly."Yes." Gwydion confirmed. "Do you know someone from her past?" He asked, hoping that Zephyr would know one of two persons since it was their only hope.Zephyr's face fell. "That's a problem." He muttered softly to the disappointment of Gwydion."Why?" Gwydion asked. "Even one person? What about her parents?" He pressed on. He didn't want to accept defeat. He had spent all night working for this and he also wanted to put his mother to shame."Her parents are late and the only person from her past I know of is Nimue and she'll be the last person to help out." Zephyr said, for all he could remember, Bellona had talked about Nimue being the one who took care of her when she was young. He had never heard her mention any other family member."Oh, that's true." Gwydion frowned disappointedly."Antonio!" Jake suddenly said out loud."What about him?" Zephyr turned towards Jake as he asked the man, wondering what suddenl
"She lost her memory." Jake finally dropped the bomb. The words that Antonio had least expected to hear."What?!" Antonio stood up in shock. "How did it happen? What have you guys done to my Bellona." His eyes turned red in anger Zephyr rolled his eyes when he heard Antonio address Bellona as his. If they didn't need his help, he would have landed a punch on Antonio's mouth so he wouldn't be able to claim his mate ever again.Jane was also shocked but not as much because she had expected something like this to happen since she knew it wouldn't be easy to capture nimue. She had an idea of what could have happened so she asked Jake calmly just to confirm her suspicions. "What exactly happened?""After you left yesterday, Nimue came as expected but Bellona messed things up by coming into the room, even after we locked her inside. When she entered, Nimue somehow managed to convince and manipulate Bellona to free her but the moment Bellona got to her, she unexpectedly sprinkled some sort
The moment they got back to Zephyr's pack, Antonio immediately alighted his vehicle."Where's she?" He asked without wasting a second."Follow me." Jake said and they all went upstairs to Zephyr's chambers.Zephyr wasn't happy with them coming into his chambers but he didn't have a choice, it was for his mate.When they arrived, they met Gwydion standing right in front of the door."Did you guys succeed?" Gwydion asked as he saw that they had returned."Yes."Jake answered and the used his chin to point at Antonio. "He's the one."Gwydion stared at Lucian, his eyes holding some kind of emotion they couldn't understand. "You're Antonio?""Yes." Antonio nodded. He noticed the way the man looked at him like there was something familiar about him but he choose to ignore it, instead he asked the question that was bothering him since he came there. "How can I help Bellona?""Bellona in there." Gwydion pointed to the door. "I'm sure you're aware of what happened to her. I'm sorry." He apologi
Zephyr who was still standing outside heard what Bellona said about him being her mate so he listened carefully to hear what Antonio's response would be.Would Antonio discourage her from being with him? If he does that, she'd do what he says because he's the only one she is able to recognize at the moment, hence she'd trust him and listen to his words.But to Zephyr's surprise, Antonio didn't discourage her, instead he educated her about it. "Yes, he's your mate" He began. "A mate is like your better half.""How do you feel about Zephyr?" He asked."Well, I find him attractive." She blushed. "He's handsome."Antonio looked at Bellona with adoration gleaming in his eyes. He had never seen her so easily flustered. He found her cute."Do you like him?" He asked again. "Uhm--" Bellona wasn't sure of how the reply to the question. Did she love Zephyr? She didn't know. All she knew was that she felt attracted to him. She felt like she had known him since a long time ago. There was this co
"I have a way to make Bellona regain her memory faster than normal." Gwydion said when him and Antonio were away from Bellona's room."How?" Antonio asked, very interested in the matter."Did she have hobbies as a young girl?" Gwydion asked."Not really hobbies but she spent her childhood learning how to fight." Antonio replied."Why fight?" Gwydion asked. He didn't expect that answer. He had expected Antonio to say things like singing or dancing or better still, fangirling over a boy band."Because.." Antonio remembered sadly. "Because Nimue had made her spend her childhood learning how to fight so she could use her to destroy Zephyr." Gwydion's face paled. He just realized that his mother was a lot more wicked than he know. She had done so many horrible things."I'm sorry." Gwydion apologized."It's not your fault." Antonio quickly brushed off his apology. "Let's just get straight to the point""She trained a lot right?" Gwydion repeated Antonio's words and then continued. "You nee
