The way Rocco winked at me made my belly flutter a little unexpectedly. So I found myself smiling across at him. Momentarily, I had forgotten what it was I had wanted to tell him. But as I looked across him, simply looking at him, studying the chiseled jawline of his face, I felt his eyes upon mine, and as I moved my eyes to meet his, he chuckled lightly.

“Was that a no?” he questioned, and I looked at him blankly.

“ A no to what?”

Rocco chuckled loudly. “Aww, Tesoro, you are funny.” He reached for my hand, and squeezed it gently, before sitting back again, like he was second guessing his actions. “You said you wanted to talk. I asked if you were going to tell me what about. So, I am asking again, what it was about. Did I miss something exciting while locked away in my office?” and I could tell with his words he was teasing me. Making light of the fact I had not been paying attention, while at the same time being desperately curious about what I wanted to speak with him about...

  • Fated but Forgotten...   Chapter 42 - Rocco

    I had to dismiss Aria talking about the way she felt. It hurt too much. The pain upon hearing her explain the fear she felt made me relive every moment of those early days. The hell when she had woken up and had no clue where she was or who we were. I had hoped for her to need me... want me to be there for her, but there had been nothing but fear. And now to hear how it had felt to her, only made it harder. I did not need to hear it in more detail. So, instead, I told Aria I knew. And she had agreed. Now we found one another in the empty room. Our eyes locked once again. Her eyes are ones I would never tire of looking into…And, as I looked into those beautiful eyes, I felt a heavy sigh slip from my lips, unable to help but note how Aria’s brows raised a little, likely wondering what was wrong. I did not want her worrying about me, or thinking anything was wrong. “So, have you eaten?” I asked, and she nodded earnestly.“The nurse brought my breakfast in.” she explained, and I nodded i

  • Fated but Forgotten...   Chapter 43 - Aria

    I sat on the seat by the window, gazing out over the gardens awaiting Rocco’s return. This tended to be my favorite place to sit now, but in this instance I was on edge as I wanted Rocco back here with me. I had no clue how he knew my favorite drink. He did not even need to ask...I remember the first time I tried it as a teenage girl… it had been so good… out with my Grandma, on one of our many girly shopping days, when we stopped into a new coffee shop and my Grandma suggested I try it… oddly, it had been one of her favorites, alongside tea. And the moment I had tried that first sip, I knew that wold be my favorite drink... I never had plain coffee again when out.I sighed heavily at the memory. I did miss her. My Grandma. I wonder how long she had been gone. They said she was gone, didn’t they? I don’t know. I don’t know anything anymore. Everything felt so blurred. But, I felt a heavy sense of loss. Loss I did not want to feel, when the door to my room opened once more, and the l

  • Fated but Forgotten...   Chapter 44 - Rocco

    We had sat enjoying our coffees with the sun shining in the window for quite some time, and there was a lightness within my heart that I did not want to let go. Aria felt close to me again. Maybe not the way in which she always had, but she was closer than she had been in a long time.And now she was so close I did not want to let her go. I was sure I saw a sparkle in her eyes as she laughed. A sparkle I had missed. We were connecting again, I was certain of it. And it was making me reluctant to leave. Not that she once asked me to.The conversation flowed freely and easily, and Aria appeared to be appreciating my company, and it was the greatest feeling after weeks of heaviness looming over me. She seemed almost different, and it filled me with hope she was progressing within her recovery.“How is the Luna doing?” she asked me with concern.“Growing grumpier by the day.” I joked, causing Aria to look at me with shock, and I grinned. Obviously, she had not expected that response, and

    My mind was drifting. I was holding Aria as we laid upon her bed. My hands snaked over the perfect curves of her hips, as I gazed into those beautiful eyes of hers. Her eyelashes fluttered seductively, while she reached up to play with my hair just the way I loved, which sent goosebumps tingling across my body, before she gripped my hair tightly. I watched her tease at her lips with the tip of her tongue, making my whole body react, as she continued to grip tightly at my hair, suddenly using it to pull me close to her and find my lips with hers.A kiss I had been waiting a lifetime for. Or that is what it felt like. Did she know that seeing her had felt like torture when I could not kiss her? But Aria's lips found mine with a hunger that took me by surprise as I felt her hands still tangled within my hair, causing me to jerk my head back... I woke with a start, and realized it had all been nothing but a dream. A fucking dream... but it told me where I was wi

  • Fated but Forgotten...   Chapter 46 - Aria

    I was still coming to terms with what had just occurred. I mean, the Beta had fallen asleep by my side! Not just fallen asleep there, but seemed comfortable there! And, the more I consider this, the more I believe this was not accidental. I think he may have chosen to lie by my side. I felt him place his hand over mine... it felt oddly wrong, yet strangely right... I heard the contented sigh slipping from his lips as he slipped into slumber... it was a choice he had made, I am certain of it. The second most important man within the pack I was currently captive in had chosen to sleep by my side. And, the thing was, I did not seem to mind it.I should have hated it. I know I should, but for the strangest of reasons, I could not bring myself to. I had made a fuss, of course, I had. I felt I should, at least to his face, so he thought that I was worried about what others would think. So he believed I did not think it was right. So he was questioning if he had overstepped a mark, because

    I walked out of the hospital from my visit with Aria with the biggest smile. My visit was likely to be the best one yet…“Good day, Beta?” the doctor’s voice took me by surprise, as I stepped from the hospital steps, causing me to turn to look back at him. "I would say from that smile it has been."I felt a small frown forming upon my lips. What business was it of his? But I found myself nodding. “I think it went well.”He smiled, though this time it appeared to be a genuine smile, not the phony smile I felt doctors so often did out of sympathy. “Well, I have to say, you both seemed quite contented when I came to do my checks earlier, and you were both asleep. I imagine it will have done you both good to be close to one another again.”I found my eyes searching the face of the doctor in front of me, wondering where he found the cheek to be bringing up something so private... all the while, a niggling thought in the back of my mind... So someone had seen us… just the way Aria had fear

  • Fated but Forgotten...   Chapter 49 - Rocco

    I stood as I watched Aria’s eyes darting around the room as she appeared to be avoiding my gaze. This girl was hiding something from me, I was sure of it. I raised my brows to her in question. “Aria, Tesoro, please do not hide things from me. Our moon goddess is blessed to us. It seems strange why you would try to talk to her. Is everything okay? Is there something I am able to help with?”I was sure there was a hint of color spreading over her high cheekbones as I looked towards her, a smile inexplicably playing upon my lips. My mate was hiding something from me, of that I knew, but something told me it was nothing to worry about. It was hard to explain, but call it a gut instinct, that I knew it was of no concern. Yet, Aria chewed her lower lip uncomfortably, but the way in which she did it, drove me to despair, as it reminded me of the seductive way in which she used to do that…“Aria?” I questioned again, needing her to stop the lip chewing before she sent me insane. And now she

  • Fated but Forgotten...   Chapter 50 - Aria

    I listened to what Rocco had told me with interest. Was that how they saw the moon goddess? I only had a basic knowledge of her. I had studied a little on her when my Grandma had talked of the werewolves. The brief chatter had intrigued me enough to bring me to research them. But I had never delved deeply enough to know their beliefs as fully as this man likely did. He was one of them. His knowledge would be extensive. They not only believed in this woman, but they worshiped her...“I don’t know. I did not know that the moon goddess worked in such a way.” I said quietly. I desperately did not want to offend him because of my lack of knowledge. I knew to him their beliefs were sacred. “I am sorry.” I added softly.“Why are you apologizing?” he said gently, his eyes light, with what looked like almost amusement, but certainly no evidence of offense lingered there. “You are not one of us, Aria, you would not be expected to know all of this… at least not right now…" His voice faltered a

  • Fated but Forgotten...   Epilogue - Rocco

    1 YEAR LATERI poured myself a coffee, dressed ready for the day. I hated wearing my formal clothes, but today was a day for a pack celebration, so it was required. I knew once out there I would enjoy every moment.“Bella, you want a coffee?” I called upstairs, knowing Aria would be almost ready. She had been almost ready when I left her a few minutes earlier.“Please, baby.” She yelled back, as I heard her approaching the staircase.The last year had been nothing but perfect. My mate was back. In every way. She had returned to our home as soon as the doctors had given her the all clear, and we had begun afresh. I had wanted to not waste another moment of my time with the beautiful woman I had been blessed with as a fated mate. The fact I had nearly lost her, not once, but twice, only made that even more present within my mind.I returned to my role as Beta once more, working hard alongside Micah to track down punishment for

  • Fated but Forgotten...   Chapter 81 - Aria

    I had been poked and prodded beyond belief. Laying there while doctors and nurses examined me time and time again. Asked me so many questions to the point my head was hurting. When all I wanted was to be with Rocco. But, everytime I thought they were close to being done, they would need to do yet another test. A scan. An x-ray… one thing, then another. I was sick of the sight of them.All the while my head was buzzing with the events of today. Or what I was able to remember. The rest was simply what people had been telling me. My life of late seemed to have been a black-hole of lost moments. My mind having not been my own for quite some time. All because of rogues attacking a pack I had come to see as my safe haven. Not that I would ever see the pack as anything else. Rogue attacks were sadly a park of living within a werewolf pack, and I knew that. I had accepted all the things that came with being part of a pack when I became Rocco's mate.I knew that the Alpha here, and my mate, as

  • Fated but Forgotten...   Chapter 80 - Rocco

    Today had not been the day I had hoped for. And it was not a day I wanted to go through again. I felt like my insides had been pulled out. I felt like I was falling apart, piece by piece. But, I knew I needed to stay strong. This was not about me any more. This was about Aria. There was definitely flickers of her there. The old Aria. I was clinging to the hope she was back... call me crazy, but I think she was, and Micah felt it too.Perhaps the knock to the head when she crashed had done something? I didn't know, I wasn't a doctor. Her loss of memory had made no sense to me even when they had explained it... But, I knew she was in the right place now for getting fixed. The doctors would know what to do. And, the second we had walked through the doors of the hospital, the doctors were rushing to see to her. Desperate to help her knowing what had happened.Aria had been rushed away from me and the doctors would not let me back in her room. I was pacing the corridor desp

  • Fated but Forgotten...   Chapter 79 - Aria

    We drove into the pack, my heart pounding as the silence in the car seemed to be defeaning me. Micah and Rocco were sharing knowing glances that I think they thought I wasn’t aware of, and no doubt mindlinking too. I did not know what they were thinking, nor what they may be saying to one another, but I was clearly not aware of everything, and I did not like it.This was not what I wanted. They were hiding things from me, and that hurt. They were meant to be people I could trust. But, I think what hurt more was learning I had been planning to run from the man that meant the world to me. Meeting Rocco had turned my life around. Or meeting Ciro, I should say, seeing as it was him I had met first. And learning the reason that weird little wolf would keep returning to the cabin was because of me… because I was meant to be a part of his life. Chosen just for him. And, him for me, it seemed.I had read of fated mates because of being intrigued by werewolves when my Grandma talked of them. I

  • Fated but Forgotten...   Chapter 78 - Rocco

    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

  • Fated but Forgotten...   Chapter 74 - Rocco

    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
