Fated but Forgotten... Chapter 31 - Aria
I saw the pain in the man’s eyes as he sat himself down on the bench next to me. Maybe I had said too much. He has been kind enough to bring me from the hospital today… maybe I should try a little to be kinder. What was that thing my grandmother used to say to me? Kindness costs you nothing? Something like that...No, I don’t think I would ever understand the reasons for him sitting my bed day after day since I had been brought into the godforsaken hospital, but, I would try my hardest to act like I was grateful. Because, it seemed, that me saying he did not have to had hurt his feelings. How can someone so big and so strong be wounded by words so easily? This man by my side was somewhat of a mystery to me, I have to admit.“There is barely a cloud in the sky today.” I said, trying to change the subject, and as I spoke, I turned my head up slightly to look toward the beautiful blue sky.Next to me, Rocco did the same thing. “Hmm, I guess. I do think it was forecast for a hot week.” I b

After sitting for a while, and her cutting words, I decided to continue walking. Aria had apparently lost any filter for her words while in the deep slumber she had been within for the past weeks, saying some blunt things without even meaning to. But, I was doing my best to not allow them to affect me too much. However, it was proving somewhat harder than I expected, when the sweet voice saying them was the same voice that had once told me how much she had loved me...The sun was still shining gloriously upon the gardens of the pack, and Aria was still basking in its heat as we moved. My feet moved almost automatically as we walked along the paths of the gardens, Aria admiring each and every delicate flower we passed. Commentating on the color, or informing me of the type of flower it was. I was clueless. Gardening was not my strong point, and likely never would be.Had she recalled any of her time with me, she would know that I killed all the plants she had bought for

I had been enjoying Rocco's company, as much as it shocked me to admit it. It had turned out we could have a laugh, and chat quite amicably. But, once more, a silence had descended upon us. A silence that made me wish to be anywhere but here. Neither one of us seeming to know for the best what to say now, and for no real reason as to why. So, we now walked in that awkward silence after passing a house I had soon realized was his.I had been enjoying the little tour of pack, and Rocco had seemed to be enjoying showing me around too. Until he had pointed out this house. Then his whole demeanor appeared to change as I smiled politely and asked if it was his home. It made no sense to me that that could offend him, it seemed like a genuine enough question, but somehow it seemed to have caused an unease between the two of us, bringing into question why Rocco had even wanted to show me the house in the first place.Had he brought me here because he wanted to

He left me in my room. Rocco returned me to my bed, and walked away. Like he could not wait to get away from me. I have not seen him since. He meant the words he had said. And I cannot help but wonder if, or when, I will see the Beta again. His kindness and intense gaze was gone... and as uncomfortable as it made me feel on so many occasions, it was missed.I was angry with him for deserting me, yet a part of me wonders if this was my own fault. But, my own mind does not feel like my own right now, and I do not even know how I am meant to be feeling. I struggle to process the things that we said. The things I said... I would like to think I did not hurt his feelings. Or if I did, that he was strong enough to deal with that. He was a strong man, wasn't he?My heart tightens at the thought of him not being okay, but I find myself pushing it to one side. His well-being is not my business. This man is all but a stranger to me. A stranger that seems to like to get very involved in my busin

The wolf stepped up from the space by my side. His sad eyes drifted over me as he did, before turning away. Was he about to walk away from me too? Had I not just told him how lonely I was? Did that not tell him that I needed him? Needed his company?Yet he continued to walk. His soft feet were padding along the forest floor as my eyes filled with tears. Before he suddenly turned, and began that now familiar process of shifting. The transition of his body from his sleek and strong wolf form into his toned human form. His fur receded from his body as his bones realigned. Such a strange sight to see, but one that no longer bothered me. I expected to wake up now, like I usually did by this point. I never saw my werewolf in his human form. My dream is always finished by now, but tonight, for some reason, it continued.Had my plea hit a nerve? Was he about to allow me to see him? Allow me to meet his human form? Excitement rushed through my body at the very

The moon goddess? She had said the moon goddess, I am sure of that. I think I have heard of her. I probed my mind for answers. No, I am sure I had… I think I had read of her… my mind tried hard to grasp at where I had heard of the name but frustratingly came back with nothing. Maybe I did not know who she was after all. Maybe looking at her, and how beautiful she was, I wanted to believe I had heard of her. Believe that I knew her...So, I found myself looking back towards the woman by my side. The woman, who was almost angelic in her appearance, yet was telling me she was a goddess… Did goddesses even exist? I looked into her almost hypnotic eyes. Could she be telling me the truth? Was there such a thing as a moon goddess? And why would she be talking to me? Slowly, I began to shake my head in response to her question. No, I had not heard of the moon goddess.A sad expression passed briefly over her beautiful face, as if she felt disappointment that there was not a greater knowledge

There was a glow coming through the thin curtains at my room window. They did little to shield me from the sunshine that was evidently shining outside. The sunshine instantly made me think back to my walk outside to bask in the sun with the Beta... my heart ached at the words he had said. That he planned to stay away. There would likely be no more visits out to the gardens whilst I remained in the hospital. This room would remain a prison cell... I sighed, rolling myself over in the bed with a sigh, trying to block the sun out.I found myself staring blankly at the wall, knowing that there was no hope of further sleep now. I had tossed, and I had turned throughout the night. Sleep seemed to struggle to find me. But visions of a vivid dream played through my mind. Had I been imagining it? Was I losing my mind? I had begun to wonder if that is what they wanted for me through them keeping me so isolated in this small and lonely room… were they slowly succeeding? Was I beginning to imagi

I had been busy in the office all morning, having thankfully managed to avoid both of my parents by an early rising this morning, and grabbing breakfast in the packhouse dining room. The downside to that meant so many pack members decided to see this as an opportunity to make conversation with me, all seeming to want updates on my mate. Especially after many had seen us spending time yesterday. To them, that was a sign of positivity. A sign she was on the mend and that all was good. They wanted an update on their Beta mate...In truth, being faced with so many questions and no real answers as of yet was probably harder than it would have been to deal with my parents. Maybe staying at home for breakfast was the better option after all, because right now it hurt not to be able to answer my pack. And to see them so happy and excited about the prospect that my mate was healing… little did they know she had never felt further from me.It had not taken long until my mind could take no more

With Aria in my arms we climbed into the car. Her confused expression had not altered as I adjusted the belt around her. Confusion. Fear. Uncertainty. I saw tears filling those beautiful eyes of hers, and I hated myself for being the cause of them, but I had told myself I was not going to hide things from her anymore. We had done that once, and it had not gone well. She deserved to know the truth.‘Roc, what did you say?’ Micah’s voice is urgent as he mindlinks. 'She looks terrified.'Well, he wasn't wrong. I glanced across at my friend and Alpha, as I sit next to my mate. ‘I told her the truth. She did not know why she was out there, so I told her she was leaving me.’ I explained matter of factly through our mindlink so that Aria would not hear. The situation was already spiralling, I don't think I wanted it to become any worse...Micah’s eyes widened. ‘But she seemed to know who we all were, dude. I think she was okay again.’ He suggested, and I think he may be right. That same thou
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
Fated but Forgotten... Chapter 75 - Rocco
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

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
Fated but Forgotten... Chapter 72 - Rocco
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
