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

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

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

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

We snuck from Aria’s room with spy-like precision, and made our way down the hospital corridor. I was doing my best to make her giggle, because having heard that sound now, I wanted to hear it again. That sound gave me hope that she was lowering her guards towards me. Gave me hope she was enjoying my company... maybe even liked me a little. Or perhaps I am totally losing my mind now? Who knew? But, one thing I did know, was I had to cling to any hope I could. Because without that hope, I officially had nothing...Aria seemed to like the idea of dodging the views of the doctors, so that was the idea I was going for. I had mentioned it in passing, but her laughter had told me it was a game she thought could be fun. In truth, I doubted they would argue massively with me if I told them what I was doing, but a tiny sliver of doubt in the back of my mind was making me unsure. Aria was still under close observation. And that uncertainty was making me fearful of having to let Aria down, and

Rocco was being every inch the gentleman right now. Everything I could hope of him. The moment I worded my question the way I had, I felt my whole body deflate. I hadn’t asked what I wanted to know. I needed to word things in such a way to decipher how to get the moon goddess to come back to me. How to gain her help in my bid for freedom from this pack. But, I knew that Rocco could not know about that…If he were to learn of my reasoning for wanting to have her come to me again, he would likely do all he could to ensure it never occurred again. He seemed determined to keep me here. Why, I did not know. But, I knew I had to maintain my composure, and my secrets...“So, Miss Thing.” Rocco looked at me with a smirk, using the nickname he had called me earlier too. “What would you like? The good news for you, is that it looks like they may have just refilled the cakes.” He winked at me, and my belly fluttered inexplicably along with my heart. I had no clue why he was acting such a way al

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
Fated but Forgotten... Chapter 71 - Rocco
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
