Fated but Forgotten... Chapter 18 - Rocco
After a long talk with my father, whilst walking through our pack, it was decided I would stay with my parents until the doctors decided Aria was able to move home. The thing I feared most about this plan was that even if they say she is well enough to be discharged, what if she continues to have no knowledge of me… of our home… then where would that leave her when it came to returning home with me? For I saw the look of fear in her eyes when I reached to touch her, and it was not a look I wanted to see again. So forcing her to return to a house with me… a house she would not know, with a man she deemed a stranger… well, it was asking for failure, wasn’t it?I had tossed and turned most of the night in the bed within the spare room, before taking a shower and edging my way downstairs, hearing my parents talk within the kitchen as I approached.“I don’t know Lucia. I will suggest he heads to work.” I heard my Dad saying to my Mum, and I had a feeling I had caught the end of a conversat

Sitting in my office, I was surprised by just how easily I had slipped back into work. My mind had repeatedly fallen to Aria, but I pushed her to one side as best as I could and focused on my responsibilities as the Beta. I needed to prove to myself I was still worthy of the title, because in recent weeks, maybe longer, I had allowed my pack to slip down my list of priorities, and that was not how a Beta should be.I was relieved that Micah and our pack Gamma, Madden, along with our warrior teams, had worked so hard after the attack to reassess all aspects of pack safety and security, all while rebuilding the pack, until our pack was now probably close to being the safest it had ever been. Maybe we had been lapsed. I didn’t like to think of that, but either way, unfortunately, many packs are weak to rogue attacks. It had just been the attack that came to our pack had been one of the worst ones…The door of my office opened, for Micah to walk in, mug of cof

I had been assisted once again to the washroom by the nurse, to be allowed a bath. The warmth of the water as it flowed over my body instantly made me feel more at ease. Relaxed and even a little calmer, which seemed crazy given my circumstances at present. But, I always loved a bath, and they were always my go to for relaxation. Admittedly, I would prefer to be in my own home and not in a hospital relaxing, but right now it appeared I could not be fussy. I was lucky they were allowing me this indulgence. And, even luckier that the nurse had been incredibly sweet and added some of the toiletries that the blue-eyed Beta had brought in for me, adamant they were my favorite, to turn my bath into a bubble bath. And I was able to relax.The delightful scent had filled my senses as I had laid in the bath, my eyes closed as I rested my head against the bath. I could understand why the Beta may suggest this as a favorite fragrance, it certainly did smell appealing… I had no recollection of i

As I looked at Micah, his words echoed through my mind. Aria had noticed I was not there then… that had to be a good thing, right? My mind began to spin with the possibilities of what it could mean... No. I could not allow my hopes to be built up. Anytime that happened of late, they seemed to be knocked down tenfold. Maybe it was more an observation that I was not there, rather than she was missing me…“Rocco, you have that in deep thought look on your face. Don’t overthink it. She appears to be missing you and I thought you would want to know. The doctor let me know, and I thought it might pick you up a little to know that being away is obviously working, because she is asking for you.” Micah said, that smile lingering once again upon his lips. He was evidently seeing this as a good thing.“She is asking after me?” I queried, noticing what he was telling me had slightly altered now. “You said she asked if I was okay.”“Details, Roc, details. All that matters is she was worried about

Rage simmered beneath the surface of my skin at the silence within my office. The silence spoke to me more than I wanted it to. Likely more than Micah wanted it to too. He did not want to admit that he had not done his duty as an Alpha or as my best friend, did he? Micah had failed me. That is the truth. And as I glared at him from across my office table, watching him avoid my gaze, I knew that I was right. There was simply no other explanation.The pack had known who the rogues were that were responsible for the attack that had injured Aria. Not just that, but these were the rogues who were behind the attack that killed and maimed so many of our pack members. It had brought our pack to its knees. All but destroyed us. I may have been in the hospital waiting for my mate to come to… feeling like I was gradually falling apart… but it did not mean I did not know that my pack was suffering. We all still shared that pack bond. I heard the rumors… heard the general chatter within the hospit

I was allowed to sit in the chair within my room today, and it felt nice to be sitting somewhere other than my bed. My whole body ached, that I couldn’t deny, and the doctors were unable to tell me how long that would last, but they did seem sure I was healing. From where I sat I was able to see out of the window to my room, and I could see out into the fields, I assumed. Beautiful scenery for miles and miles. The packlands, perhaps?But as I sat there gazing out of the window, my mind wandered thinking about what may be out there, the smell lingering kept hitting my senses. Tingling there for no real reason. The chair appeared to smell so strongly of Beta Rocco, despite his recent absence. I have not seen him for a couple of days now, I believe. Though, in truth, I had lost track of days whilst here. Hours seemed to last forever, while at the same time drifting away in the blink of an eye. I had no concept of time here. And hours faded into days too easily. This was only adding to t

I was leaving my office, pleased with the progress of the work I had completed today. But, more so, pleased with the fact I had managed to stay away from the hospital for yet another day. I was doing well. It was like torture. And I had a feeling it was not helping me with bringing my wolf back to me, but I felt it needed to be done in a bid to bring my mate back to me. And, the updates from the hospital when I mindlinked them, sounded promising.Things today had been slow. Which had made it harder for me to be distracted from my thoughts of Aria. That made it harder. Which was why it was good progress. But in completing the work I had, I had been able to look over the research about this rogue camp Micah had spoken of, and it appeared all he said was true. Other than a few very young males, most residing there were women and children. Attacking them would be wrong.The craving to reek punishment on those who had caused the pain to my pack. To my mate

I looked at Anna in disbelief. No, I had to be hearing her wrong, didn’t I? The pain in my heart was excruciating. I knew Aria was uncertain of her past. That she was uncertain of me, but I had clung to the desperate hope that something would come back to her… anything… a tiny sliver of memory that might allow her to know she was safe here. Never had I imagined she would be considering an escape!“Please tell me you told her you couldn’t do that.” I asked, my voice wobbling as I spoke.Anna looked to me with a sympathetic smile. “I didn’t know what to say, Rocco.” She whispered, and the expression upon her face changed to one of uncertainty. Now filling me with unease. Had she said she would help her?“Anna.” My voice was demanding now. Irritation was already beginning to bubble. This could not be happening. The woman in front of me was meant to be one of my closest friends. The mate of my best friend. She had seen me fall apart due to the pain of losing Aria. She more than anyone kn

Fated but Forgotten... Chapter 77 - Aria
I woke up, my whole body aching. Wondering why the hell I was laying on the grass at the side of a road. A road the more I tried to look around me looked like the North Road outside of the pack. Why would I be here? A felt a sharp stinging to the base of my neck was irritating me, but then, the whole of my body was irritating me in one way or another right now. I had clearly been injured, I just did not know how...My eyes flickered between open and closed, trying to adjust to the light, and I could see the concerned eyes of my husband and mate, Rocco looking down at me. His icy-blue eyes darting over me... the eyes I adored so much... eyes that had drawn me in the first time I had seen them; and eyes that were always able to win me over... he looked worried right now though. What had happened?“What happened baby?” I whispered, hoping he may be able to give me the answers I was looking for. But my words caused his brows to furrow as I continue. “I ache all over!” I informed him, in
Fated but Forgotten... Chapter 76 - Rocco
Ciro whimpered heavily in my mind at the sight of our mate in the arms of our friend, but I don’t think it was because of the fact she was being held by another man. A man that by all accounts would be considered stronger and more powerful than me, it was the way she had looked at us. The way her eyes lit up when they met mine…But, I knew I did not have time for emotion right now. Aria needed to know we were here for her. “Tesoro, are you okay?” I reached for her, but those beautiful eyes flickered closed once more, as Micah rushed her away from the car, just as a rush of heat englufed us. Flames were taking over the car, and we had done exactly the right thing in following my gut and getting Aria out when we did. A moment longer and it would have been too late. The thought does not bear worth thinking about...That heat from the increasing fire behind us was radiating across our bodies, so we moved faster. Micah using all her had to increase the speed with which he was moving, know

My eyes are darting over the damage to the car. This is not how I had wanted to find my mate. I had wanted to find her well. Be able to convince her to return with me. Tell her what a fool I had been. Knowing that in spite of everything she had fallen for me again meant the world to me. We had found one another once and fallen for one another, and in a cruel twist of fate, she had forgotten me, and fallen for me all over again... I had been blessed, not just once but twice. I could not let my girl die.I looked to Micah. His eyes were doing the exact same thing as mine. I could see the concern across the face of my friend, as his dark eyes took in the damage to the car. There has certainly been some sort of impact to it. Aria had to have been thrown around inside of her car. My heart ached at the thought that my mate may well be injured further... but I noticed my friend's eyes are currently lingering on that leaking fuel. The thing that is concerning me the most right now…‘We need t

Ciro ran. Faster than I think I have felt my wolf run before. His feet pounding along the floor of the packlands until we had crossed the borders onto the lands beyond. Micah’s wolf, Zane, had wasted no time in shifting and running alongside me. But I was paying little attention to the wolf by our side. My focus was through the eyes of my wolf. Looking for the car accident that my Alpha had mentioned.The car accident that my mate may well be laying in…The thought that Aria could be laying injured in a car somewhere tore at my heart strings. Knowing that she had been fleeing me when that had potentially happened made it even worse. This was not how my life was meant to go. Never how I envisioned meeting my fated mate would be. It had been enough of a shock to disover she was a human. But, I had thought I was strong enough to protect her. A matebond is everything to a wolf; and I truly thought ours would be. Evidently, I was wrong. I had
Fated but Forgotten... Chapter 73 - Rocco
I stood from the bed, needing some space, but Micah blocked my way. “You think I am going to allow you to get away with this? Abandoning your fated when she needs you the most? That is not what we do, Rocco and you know it is not.” he demanded. “You know this is not the way to do this, Rocco. Yes, this has got tough, but as her mate you deal with the tough as well as the good. That is part of being a mate.”I shook my head at my Alpha, not willing to get into a grand debate over it all. This was not his choice anyway. My mind was made up. Aria had evidently made her choice the moment she wrote that letter. She had been planning to find a way to escape. She had made the decision in her mind that all of this was some sort of game. I don’t think there would ever be a way for her to trust me. I had known deep down all along, I would never gain my Aria back. The one I had fallen for was gone to me. The one in front of me all these we

I picked the second piece of paper up, and began to read. My heart aching at the thought my mate had been developing feelings for me once again and I had been oblivious to it, despite it being what I had hoped for all along. Or I had simply been too scared to notice…Well, you did not come back to me. I waited all day, and a great portion of the night in the hope you would come to see me. Not just upon one day, but many. Yet on each and every single one of those days, as my hope slipped away, all I received was a brief moment when you came in to place a coffee upon my table, before making some fandangle excuse before rushing off again. Anyone would think you did not want to be around me Rocco. And I have still to understand why - believe me I have tried. My heart dropped at her words. I imagined her sittng in her room trying to understand what was happening. Why I had been avoiding contact with her. I had stayed away, not because I did not want to be around her, but because I was wo

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
Fated but Forgotten... Chapter 70 - Rocco
I paced the corridors of the hospital. Mindlink after mindlink being sent to as many people as I could think of to assist in my hunt for Aria. I needed as many of the senior people within pack, past and present to know she was missing. They needed to begin a hunt for her. My mate had been safe whilst we knew where she was. She had been safe within our care. Now, we did not know where she was. She was still healing. I needed to know she would be okay...I needed to know where Aria was. None of this made sense. My mind was spinning with the possibilities of where my mate could have gone. She had been mere steps away. Uable to walk at speed. I did not understand how she had got away from me. I cursed myself for even talking to those doctors now. I should have gone after her. I should never have given her the time she needed to calm down. Giving her space had been the thing that may have lost me my mate...There was no plan to my search. It was a franctic dash back and forth down as many
Fated but Forgotten... Chapter 69 - Aria
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
