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
Jake's sudden intrusion disrupted the heated kiss between Lucian and Jane. They pulled apart and stared at each other lovingly then suddenly, it was as though an alarm went off in Lucian's head and he staggered back with an expression that looked like he didn't believe what he had just done."What's wrong?" Jane asked worriedly and attempted to approach him."Stop!" He warned and moved backwards. "Don't come closer.""What's going on with you?" Jane asked, not understanding what was happening. Weren't they just making out few seconds ago? Why the did he act like she had a deadly disease or was the kiss horrible? Did her breath smell? "All this," He raised his hands and pointed at her and then at himself. "All of this, is a mistake.""Huh?" Jane asked shockingly. She hoped she heard wrongly."The kiss was nothing." Jake said. "We're two mature adults and the atmosphere was steamy so we kissed. It means nothing so forget about it."Jane's heart shattered into tiny bits. "Do you mean wh
"I will always love you, Bellona. I sincerely do and I wish to spend the rest of my life with you." Zephyr poured at his heart go Bellona, oblivious of her reaction. "I want to wake up beside you everyday, cook for you, please you and pleasure you"When he finally lifted his head to look at her, she had a dazed expression on her face like she was looking at something invisible or thinking about something. She looked like she had just had a recollection of something important that she forgot."Bell," Zephyr called out to her as be sat motionless and didn't respond to his confession.He shook her lightly on her shoulder and then she finally came back to her senses. "Z-zephyr?" She muttered as if she just discovered a new thing."What is it, Bellona. You're scaring me." Zephyr said sincerely. Her facial expression was making him scared as he thought that something had happened to her."We didn't meet recently, did we?" She paused for some time before she continued. "We met a long time ag
