Thank you for continuing to follow Jenna's journey. She's waking up, but will she remember everything? Be sure to leave a comment or review. Next chapter update is tomorrow. For additional updates follow me on s/m at Ellie Scott Author. Ellie xo
Adam POV “Who are you?” Jenna asks. I am confused and stare at her. Is she serious or is she messing with me? Her mother looks at me and then at her daughter. I mind-link the doctor to get here immediately. Luna Ashley takes Jenna’s hand, “How do you feel sweetheart?” she asks Jenna. “I have a headache and I am thirsty, but I think I am okay,” she replies to her mother while watching me cautiously. My heart is breaking at the thought that she doesn’t know who I am. I step forward and take her hand. I still feel the sparks there and from the look on her face, she feels those same sparks. “You have been visiting me. Why?” she asks. I am quickly realizing she is remembering pieces of her past but not all. Doctor Rivers rushes in moving Jenna’s mother out of the way so he can check Jenna over. He does a thorough exam asking Jenna various questions to test her memory. I see a look of concern cross his face as he wonders about her rememberi
Jenna POV I had awoken to a stranger beside my bed. I did not know who he was or what he wanted. I knew when he touched me, I felt sparks, but what did that mean? I knew I had a head injury, from the doctor who came in and spoke to me. I didn’t understand how it had happened and I understood why the doctor wasn’t wanting to tell me too much of what I had experienced. It would go against protocol for any type of head injury with a short-term memory loss. He was accurate in what he was telling me. Something about the guy confused me. I realized I had not even got his name from him. As he walks out of my room, I look to my parents, “I want to go home,” I say to them. They both look at me sadly. “That would not be right baby girl,” my mother replies to me. “What do you mean?” I ask her confused. Why wouldn’t they take me home? “Jenna, your place is here with your mate,” my father says. “I don’t know him. He is a complete stranger to me.
Adam POV “Why haven’t you marked me yet?” Jenna asks me. Talk about tough questions right out of the gate. I knew it was a reasonable question. Most Alphas were very possessive and marked their mate within days, if not within hours, of meeting their fated mate. In my case, I was an ass who fucked everything up and was left now trying to explain that without divulging too much information that might cause more damage. “We were not ready yet,” I reply to Jenna as she stares at me. “Not to sound like a two-year-old, but why were we not ready?” she asks. “Jenna, you know I cannot share much about what you don’t remember. It will suffice to say I made some mistakes early in our relationship and I am trying to make amends for them now,” I reply to her. She simply looks at me for moments. Staring. And then finally looks away. “Well, if you will not tell me, I guess you get a clean slate … until I remember,” she says with conviction. Nodding my
Jenna POV Adam had a secret that he was not sharing with me. I was tired and not sure I cared at the moment about it. I loved being in his arms. I felt safe, secure, and warm. Yes warm. The sparks bouncing between us, and the mate bond were definitely inducing warmth throughout my body. I do not know how we have not been together yet, but it was definitely top of mind for me. Being in his arms was divine. He smelled amazing. A combination of pine and vanilla. And his muscles. He was so strong. I knew I was not a big she-wolf, but I felt secure with him. As we walked across the parking lot, he said hello to Pack members along the way. Most were just smiling away at the antics of their Alpha carrying his Luna. Luna. I had never really considered my ranking in a Pack. I had always been focused on a medical career and I still was. I simply had other priorities that came to mind as I thought about Adam and the Pack. I cannot remember th
Adam POV “Stay?” Jenna asks me. There is nothing I want more than to crawl into bed and just hold her. It was what I had been dreaming of hearing from her for more than a week. But I had work to do, and I knew it was wrong to take advantage of her. Taking hold of the hand that was holding my arm, I sit down beside her on the bed. “Jenna, I would love to crawl into that bed with you, but I have work I must see to,” I say to her. I see the disappointment cross her face and it pains me to know I am the cause of it. “I understand,” she murmurs moving to roll over. I stop her and place a soft kiss on her lips. She opens her mouth and slides her tongue into my mouth. Sliding my tongue across hers, I relish in the taste of my mate. Our kiss deepens as she sits up and we are fighting for dominance. I feel her hands move to my chest, wanting to touch my skin. I can feel her hand inch down toward the hem of my shirt before I realize what is happe
Jenna POV I woke much later in the day. From outside I could see darkness had fallen and nobody had come to wake me up. I felt much more refreshed and starving. Rolling over I look around the room. Aside from the light beside my bed being on, the room was in darkness. Getting up I needed to use the washroom and brush my teeth. Looking at myself in the mirror, I tossed my hair up into a messy bun before going back to my closet to put some clothes on that would be more suitable for hunting down something to eat. Walking into my closet I saw my things all out and in the right place. Clearly, I had settled into this room, my things were all here. My clothes were all here. Everything from the comfort of my home. I put on some leggings with a sports bra and zipper jacket over it. It was my go-to for casual and comfortable. And right now, I wanted to be comfortable. Stepping out of my closet, I move toward the door heading out into the hall.
Jenna POV Adam had walked me back to my room after I had eaten supper along with a couple cupcakes. He had gently kissed me on my lips, before stepping back and letting me go into my room. While I felt frustrated at his lack of enthusiasm to be with me, I had to respect he was not rushing me. And maybe there was a reason we should wait until, hopefully, my memories come back to me. And if they do not come back to me, I may have to accost him myself, I think with a chuckle. Crawling back into bed, I don’t bother to change. I feel like I used all my energy eating and talking to Adam. I was excited about seeing what they had to offer at the hospital. I did want to finish my studies, but I also wanted to be a good Luna for the Red Pine Pack. I had to keep reminding myself of the name of the Pack. I had been ensconced in my own Pack for eighteen years, it was hard to think of myself as a new Pack member. Although now that I think about it, I
Jenna POV “What did they say to you, Jenna?” Adam asks as he and Sam walk up to me. I look at them after watching the three women walk away snickering. “Nothing I can’t handle,” I say to them both. “Jenna, they can’t disrespect their Luna and get away with it,” Adam says trying to encourage me to share what had been said. “It’s fine; if it becomes a problem, I will let you know,” I promise him. He looks at me and I can tell he and Sam are mind-linking. Whatever they do, I hope they don’t make it worse. I am hoping to let it go until I better understand what I have apparently done to piss off Pack members so soon upon my arrival. I knew I could play the role of bitch pretty good, but I usually saved that for those who deserved it. Smiling up at Adam, I shake off the interaction and focus on him. “Are you joining us for breakfast?” I ask Sam. He smirks, “Uh no, I don’t think that is in my plans,” he replies while Adam jumps in, “He has Pack
Six months later ... Jenna POV I sat feeding my pup, Grace. She was the most beautiful little girl I had ever seen, but I am sure I am quite bias I think with a chuckle. She had dark hair like her daddy, and silver eyes like me with her angelic features. Adam was an amazing daddy to his little girl. He got up with me for all feedings and took her to his office often to give me a break. There was no me and him; it was one hundred percent us. I loved him more for that. Grace had been born two months ago. I do not know how, but I was blessed with a very quick labour and delivery. I suspect it had something to do with Gracie’s impatience at wanting to be born. She was ready to see this world and meet her family. We knew from the moment of her birth she had a strong aura. You knew you were in the presence of someone special. Her eyes were bright, and she has been aware of her surroundings since the first moment she opened them. It would n
Adam POV As I come through the forest and come upon the scene in front of me my heart sinks as I see yet another ring of rogues surrounding Jenna. I can see the two warriors in front of her being destroyed as Tim makes his way towards her. I roar my anger as Jake pounces forward destroying all rogues in his path. My only goal is to get to Jenna. When I heard from her it was Elder Fred who had betrayed us, I was filled with rage. I wanted to destroy him myself, but I see someone beat me to it as his insides are spilled out on the ground in front of Jenna. I know, from Jenna, that the Pack members present are unable to shift as they were affected by the wolfsbane. It also explains why they could not communicate with me. Fortunately, the rogues were not bothering with them, and I could see the women were pushing the children away as best they could without drawing attention to themselves. I make my way through the crowd of rogues along with th
Adam POV It felt great to have Sam back again. I am sure there is some story behind his mystery woman, but that would be a conversation over a cold beer once we cleared out the rogue situation. I shifted midstride, destroying my clothes but there was no time to stop and change. Our warriors were updating us that the numbers of rogues entering our territory were higher than we had seen before. They might be an army, but they were not a healed army so there would be disorganization amongst them. They would fight for so long before their own goals would shadow what the current head rogue wanted. And it concerned me that the head rogue could be Tim. He knew more about Jenna because of his connection to the Rogue King and Wendy. Clearly it put him at an advantage we would have preferred he not have. As I broke through the clearing, Sam and Jack were close on my heels. I could not believe what I saw. There were at least thirty rogues fighting o
Adam POV Jenna’s father was brought back into the courtroom. Her mother, Luna Ashley, was also brought in for her husband’s sentencing. She sits directly behind Alpha Gordon, with warriors on either side of her. Everyone was required to stand as the judges returned to their seats. They looked solemnly at those of us present. “There is no winning side in today’s proceedings,” the judge starts to say. “There is only room for justice. The atrocities committed by Alpha Gordon Frasier in the case of trying to kidnap his own daughter, in return assisting with the kidnapping of someone else, plus supporting the development of a rogue army leave us little wiggle room for sentencing anything less than life in prison,” the judge concludes his spiel. Jenna’s mother screams and the warriors must grab her to keep her from lunging toward the judges. Alpha Gordon slams his fist down on the table, breaking it in half as he stands also threatening the judg
Adam POV Since Jenna’s mother’s revelation that the rogues were coming for us, I have rallied our troops to get them ready for an impending attack. I have tried to reach Sam with no luck. It is unusual that I would not be able to reach him, but I had to assume he was having a good time. He was due back by the end of this week. I would worry if he did not show up then. Jenna’s mother disclosed nothing more than the statements, “I expect they will be here any time now.”. That had been a couple of days ago. Jenna had a lot of time for painstaking self-reflection during this time. Well reflection on her entire life. How parents could treat their daughter as they had was still beyond reproach to me. Jenna was also suffering thinking of Josie. Not lost on us was the fact that Eric tried to become her mate. That reflects how little everyone knew of the deceit of Jenna’s parents and the Rogue King himself. Had they known the truth, they may have avoided a
Jenna POV It had been a couple days since we had incarcerated my father. My mother had arrived with more flair than I had ever noticed before. When she first saw me, she walked over to me standing beside Adam and Jack. I had expected a hug. What I got was a slap in the face. The parking area echoed with the slap against my face. Adam quickly grabbed my mother’s arm breaking it. “How dare you touch my mate?” he yells at her. “Oh please, you did not want her in the beginning and now you expect me to believe you have changed. It is because she is a healer and the strength she brings to your Pack!” she shrieks. I cringe back hating being reminded of our start. And now I have to wonder if my parents ever really cared for me, or did they only like what I brought to the table? “Why did you bother keeping me a secret?” I ask her as she stands there nursing her broken arm. “What?” she asks me confused with my question. “Why didn’t you tell others I had he
Adam POV I could not believe what I was hearing. Like this made some kind of sense to Alpha Gordon. I could feel the tension and heartbreak that Jenna was feeling. I had wrapped my arms around her, feeling her coldness in the dank dungeons. I tried to move her, but she was standing firm. She was not finished with her father. “What do you get in return for turning me and Josie over?” Jenna asks her father. He looks at her confused. “Jenna, you are safe for now. They have Josie,” he says like he has saved her. “That’s just it, I am safe for now, what happens when they need me? Are you going to kidnap me yourself?” she asks her father. “Jenna, you always were so dramatic,” her father hisses. “What is the harm in healing the men and women to help them?” he asks her. We all look at him incredulously. “You want me to heal an army of rogues who want to destroy Packs?” she asks him slowly. It is like he does not see the harm of what he is sa
Adam POV Jenna had taken a seat on the couch. Jack was standing against the wall next to where she sat. And I was sitting behind my desk. I had been advised two warriors were on their way with Tiffany. The door was open in expectation of their arrival. As the warriors entered the Pack house, we could hear Tiffany screaming profanities at the warriors. They clearly were not bothered by her words as they suddenly appeared with her in the doorway. Pushing Tiffany inside she fell to her hands and knees in the middle of my office. As she turned to scowl at the two warriors, I yelled, “Enough!”. She was startled and suddenly looked around the room realizing where she was. A look of fear crossed her face briefly before she smirked at me. She had the audacity to smirk. She stands in front of me, “You called for me, Alpha? Finally, had enough of your Luna?” she taunts. I see Jenna tense out of the corner of my eye, but she does not rise. I can
Jenna POV I try to get away from Adam scrambling on my hands and knees to get to my father. I hated him in this moment, but I did not want him to die. Adam held me back until he was certain the shooter was no longer a threat. He and Jack protected me with their bodies as we hurried to where my father had fallen. I immediately see that my father has a gun shot through the chest. I quickly role him and see that the bullet went through him. I am uncertain what might have been hit with the shot, but it is a good sign that the bullet went through him. I tell Adam so they can start looking to make sure the bullet did not strike anyone in the diner, while I go to work on my father. I do a discreet scan and see that his heart was nicked with the bullet but everything else is fine. I do a quick fix that does not require a lot of my healing efforts. I put my hand over the bullet hole and hold it there while his wolf tries to stop the bleeding. Bein
