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

    The nerve of that woman infuriated me. I needed to remove myself from that situation before I overreacted. I could not stay when she was so blatantly flirting with me while my mate was by my side. I had warned her so many times in the past, but this was something else.I continued to push Aria toward the door as quickly as I could, throwing another dirty look in the direction of Chelsea behind the counter as I did. ‘You overstepped a mark today. How fucking dare you.’ I linked, and as I did her face fell. The smirk that had lingered over her lips slipped. She did not find herself quite so confident now.I hated she-wolves like that. Single and desperate for attention from the higher-ranking wolves within the pack. Yes, as a young and single wolf, it is all good fun, but as a settled-down guy with a mate, then the appeal simply is not there. I would not betray the matebond blessed to me, and most she-wolves knew that. Yet there were some that still tried their luck.The moment we step

  • Fated but Forgotten...   Chapter 54 - Aria

    I don’t know why I had allowed Rocco to take me to a house I did not know. A house I could only assume was his own. Though, I was sure he had pointed out a different home the other day when we walked through the pack… or was that my mind playing tricks? I was unsure. It seemed to like to play tricks upon me of late. I was certain the many hours sitting looking at the same four walls were to blame for that. I hated feeling like my mind was not my own.But, agreeing to this, well, I had yet to decide if it was a smart thing to do or not. I would like to think I could trust the Beta. He was a trustworthy figure in a pack, wasn't he? I have tried so many times to recall the information I had read when researching all those years ago. But, ultimately, it would all depend on the character of the man, and in truth, I found this man very hard to read. His moods changed as quickly as the weather...Regardless of the fact, I had not even put up a f

    I don’t even know why I had flirted with her so openly. It had just kind of happened when she had teased me. The way we used to chat together… that easy chatter… I missed it… but to see her cheeks flush that way told me perhaps she was not quite so comfortable with the flirting, or maybe with the things I mentioned. Maybe I had overstepped a mark. Something I am beginning to regret. I do not want to ruin what we have. If we even have anything. At the least, she had appeared comfortable with me, I could not risk losing that...I had put the music on like I so often did when I was in the kitchen, or in the shower. Something to fill the silence that I so desperately hated. I had thought Aria would head to the lounge and sit herself down. I felt a little foolish when I turned and found her amused eyes upon me. Watching me as I sang and half danced my way through making the hot chocolates, with a beautiful smile upon that face of hers.

    This had gone from fun and a little flirty, to strange and far too flirty in a moment. But the way Rocco’s eyes were focused upon me now made it virtually impossible for me to look away from him. That gaze was far too intense. Though it always had the potential to be. His eyes were stunning, and I knew that from the amount of times I had looked at them... and the amount of times I had tried to avoid their gaze...But, something was different today. This had gone from just intense gazes. Now he had touched me in passing multiple times, which had made me feel a whole host of things I had tried to ignore... and then there was the kissing of my hand. The kissing of my hand, which, when I questioned him about, he was saying he had wanted to kiss me for a while now. That was what he had meant, right? Because that was what it came across as. No. I urged myself. That couldn't be it, surely. Can it?My heart felt like it would beat right out of my chest right now, and I don’t know if that was

    I had no clue what came over me. Aria was there. So close. Her scent had taken over all aspects of my senses. Her beautiful eyes looked up at me the way they used to, and I was transported to a different place… a different time… and then I saw the tiny speck of hot chocolate sitting upon the edge of her lips, and I could not resist. Maybe that made me a weaker man than I should have been...I could feel her heart thumping heavily underneath me where I leaned to reach her, which only fed my need for her. She wanted me? Or some part of her had to, didn’t it? To cause that sort of reaction, right? And as my tongue teased along her lips, there was a whimper deep within my mind, telling me that Ciro had awoken, making me move back suddenly, just as I was sure Aria was going to move forward. Had she been about to kiss me? My head spun with that possibility...I tried so desperately to act casually, like nothing was different. Dismiss it as light teasing,

    Sitting in his house didn’t feel wrong. If anything, being with him felt almost comfortable. He made me feel at ease. And we were now discussing the one thing I had wanted to chat about… but I may have slipped up again, in implying that the moon goddess had talked to me about him. The moment I mentioned that, I saw the way his eyes lit up. Like a spark of hope had been ignited deep inside of him. I could not risk giving him any more hope than he already seemed to hold… a hope that had never made any sense to me.“Aria?” his voice was a little unsure now, and I turned to him, slowly, only to find those big blue eyes watching me intently as they so often did.“Yes, Rocco.”“What do you mean, like me?”I shrugged. “I don’t know.” I dismissed it, hoping I could get away with that, but the soft and warm way in which Rocco usually looked at me altered as his eyes narrowed. I did not like the way he looked at me now. He was an intimidating man at the best of times without even trying to be,

    I had gone to the effort of ensuring we did not return to our own home, to make sure that Aria did not see the multitude of photographs that adorned the walls and almost every available free space within the house. Although there had been the added difficulty of lack of supplies in the house for me to make us a hot chocolate. But, then, on top of that, I had demanded my father to ensure there were no photographs of us here too, yet in the end, I had succumbed to the pressure within my heart and shown Aria a picture.I don’t know what had come over me. But the pain became too much as she continued to push against everything I offered. Every time I attempted to explain my care for her. None of it was accepted within her mind. It was like she did not want to believe a word that was said to her. Like the thought repulsed her. An invisible wall was erected to stop that explanation being allowed through and that hurt me more than anyone could ever know. She would not let me, nor our past i

  • 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
