“Mia, come on. It is me. Its Cherry.” She frowned and could not believe what she was hearing. How did Mia not recognise her friend? This was bizarre. “Get away from me. Please go away.” Mia cried pushing herself so far up the bed and screaming for help. One of the nurses came rushing in and ordered Cherry out stating that it was not visiting hours anymore. Cherry was so upset that she ran right out of the hospital and straight into Kane’s arms. “She doesn’t know who I am. She’s lost her memory. I can’t believe it.” She wept causing Kane and Jacob to exchange worried glances. “This cannot be happening.” Jacob sighed shaking his head sadly. He was at a loss. Did he still have to be punished so much for his actions which he was sorry about. He hated how things seemed to be going from bad to worse. “Abigail is here, I can sense her.” Jacob growled in disgust. He suddenly started to walk off sniffing the air and following the scent. He stopped when he saw her standing outside the m
Mia had no idea how she had got into this hospital, all she knew was that her whole body ached and she wanted to get out of there. The fact that some strange girl had come along trying to kidnap her made her terrified. She seemed to know Mia but did not recognise her but she was to afraid to call out for any help. When the girl had left, Mia felt so relieved but decided that she should get out of there in case she came back again. What if she attacked her in her sleep or something? She could be anyone! Mia grabbed her shoes and wrapped the jacket around her that was sitting on the chair beside the bed. Her feet hurt but she did not care. All she wanted was to leave this place and go home, where ever that was. The corridor was practically empty so nobody gave Mia a second glance as she rushed through searching for the stairs or lift to the exit. As soon as she saw the lift, the doors swung open and out popped a bunch of people talking amongst themselves and Mia got in. Looking
Antonio and Clara were so fed up and growing more and more impatient with the lack of news. Dawn would probably start to ask questions soon and they had nothing that they could tell her, she would be beside herself with guilt and worry. Clara did not want her daughter to be stressed and risk her health again. Looking across at her mate, Clara gently smoothed Dawn’s cheek with her finger. She wanted so much to be able to take away the pain and misery that would be riddled within her precious daughter. It made her so mad to know anyone could harm her Dawn and Mia in that way. How dare they! “Ohh. Where am I?” Dawn moved her hand and mumbled before having a horrible coughing fit. Clara could not believe that her prayers had been answered. Their daughter was alive. “She’s waking up!” Clara yelled excitedly and Antonio turned and hurried back to his daughters bedside. “Dawn. You’re ok. We have you here in the pack hospital.” Antonio assured her with a gentle smile and held her hand.
Mia felt a strange connection to this guy who was holding her so close, the smell of him and look in his eyes made her feel at ease. Yet she could not remember for the life of her, who he really was. “Mia, it is me. I am so sorry for everything that I did to hurt you. I am going to spend the rest of my life making it up to you and show you just how sorry that I truly am.” Jacob whispered into her ear as he held her close to him, his hand rested on her waist. He wished that he had treated her better when he had had the chance to instead of all of this bad luck happening now. It hurt him so badly that she did not seem to have any idea who he was but the hesitation in getting away from him gave some hope. “So what is it to be?” Abigail popped up and demanded an answer. She stood beside them and kept her eyes fixated on Jacob, with her hands firmly on her hips. She meant business and Jacob did not care what she had to say or do because she was not important to him like Mia. Mia was hi
Antonio rushed over to the car as soon as it entered the pack grounds. Jacob jumped out and tried to calm him down before he could get to Mia, who was extremely frightened. “What is going on?” Mia shrieked as Cherry bundled her out the car and rushed her inside. “That there is my grandaughter and I have every right to see her, do I not?” Antonio growled at Jacob who stood up tall and refused him access to Mia. Clara came running out and pleaded with Antonio to calm down. “This is not Jacob’s fault. Please don't frighten Mia.” Clara said but he growled at her before turning around and heading back towards where Dawn was. Clara threw Jacob an apologetic look which he acknowledged with a nod. Seeing that Cherry had already gotten Mia to the pack house, he felt slightly relieved. “Jacob, we need to do something about her.” Kane pointed out to his brother and they both looked up at Abigail who was sulking in the car still. That was when it suddenly struck Jacob that Abigail’s true
Abigail was beyond furious that she was locked up in the cells with all the other disgusting criminals. Jacob had loved her once and she knew that he would realise soon what he was losing. Kane had just dropped her into the room and locked the door without so much of a word. How could Jacob let this happen? She did not want to be in here and the smell made her feel so sick but she had no choice but to be here since Kane had locked the door. It must be some sort of a joke. Nobody would seriously put Abigail away like that, she was not a criminal. She too had been through such a terrifying time so why did Mia get treated like some sort of royalty just because she had lost all her memory? Abigail reluctantly perched on the edge of the bed and growled. Kane had said it was only until she and calmed down but she did not believe that. She hated that Jacob did not want her anymore and could not help but feel such uncontrollable jealous towards Mia, she had everything and she did not eve
“Get me out of here.” Abigail yelled as hot tears ran down her cheeks. She hated it in there, she could not even sleep to pass the time. Nobody came to her rescue though so she reluctantly sat on the cold floor with her legs crossed and shoulders slouched. As Abigail sat there, her mind raced with thoughts of frustration and despair. The room was dark and musty, its coldness seeping into her bones. It seemed like an eternity since she was confined to this place, and she yearned for the freedom she once had. She gazed at the peeling walls, the cracks in the floor, and the dim light filtering through a small, filthy window. It was a stark reminder of her current situation, a constant reminder of her helplessness. Her heart sank with each passing minute, feeling as if time had come to a standstill.The sound of a distant clock resonated through the silence, echoing her impatience. She longed for someone to acknowledge her cries, to rescue her from this suffocating existence. But there
Chapter fifty four Abigail was shocked to see the door flung open and there was an extremely angry Cherry standing in front of her. She looks like she wanted to murder Abigail however, Abigail was not scared of Cherry. She rolled her eyes and scoffed at the sight of her. This only made Cherry feel angrier. She wanted to end Abigail once and for all. Mia had been through so much because of this horrible she Wolf and yet here she was still breathing. Cherry thought that even these cells were to damn good for the likes of Abigail. “Go away. You don’t scare me.” Abigail laughed and shook her head as she shook Cherry away. When Cherry did not leave, Abigail was starting to feel irratated. “What do you want?” She grumbled wishing that Cherry would leave her alone. She knew she hated her and she had no time for her, especially now. “Get up.” Cherry ordered, yanking Abigail up from the floor and freeing her from the chains that were holding her back. Abigail was shocked by this but
The den was quiet as Mia sat in the glow of the fire, her newborn daughter nestled in her arms. The soft crackling of embers filled the room, mingling with the gentle rhythm of the baby's breathing. Jacob had stepped out for a moment, no doubt checking the perimeter of their territory, but Mia felt a sense of peace settle over her, a feeling of contentment that wrapped around her like a warm embrace.As she looked down at her sleeping child, a sense of wonder washed over her. This tiny life, so new and innocent, held within her the promise of a future filled with endless possibilities. Mia's heart swelled with love and gratitude, knowing that she and Jacob had created something truly magical together.The den door creaked open, and Jacob entered, his eyes sparkling with awe as he beheld the sight before him. He crossed the room in swift strides, dropping to his knees beside Mia and the baby, his gaze filled with adoration."She's perfect," Jacob whispered, his voice barely above a bre
The morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a warm glow over Mia's sleeping form. She stirred, slowly blinking her eyes open as the remnants of a vivid dream clung to the edges of her consciousness. A soft smile tugged at her lips as she reached out, her fingers brushing against the cool sheets beside her – Jacob must have already risen for the day.As Mia shifted to sit up, a sudden wave of nausea washed over her, causing her to clutch her stomach and squeeze her eyes shut. She took a few deep breaths, willing the queasiness to pass, but the sensation lingered, a persistent reminder that something felt... off.Frowning, Mia tried to recall if she had eaten anything unusual the previous day, but her mind came up blank. It was then that a flicker of realization began to dawn on her – the nausea, the fatigue, the subtle changes in her body that she had dismissed as mere stress.Could it be...?Her heart began to race as she mentally tallied the signs, her breath catching
Gentle beams of the morning sun pierced through the dense foliage of the forest surrounding the pack's territory, announcing the dawn of a new day. Mia awoke to the sound of birdsong, their melodic chatter a stark contrast to the emotional tumult of the previous day. Despite the visit to her mother stirring a whirlwind of feelings, there was a serene sense of hope that settled within her, soothing the raw edges of old wounds.Jacob stirred beside her, his sleepy eyes opening to meet hers. "Good morning," he murmured, his voice rough with sleep, yet filled with warmth. The bond they shared, always a palpable presence, seemed to deepen further in moments like these, grounding and uplifting Mia simultaneously."Good morning," Mia replied, her hand reaching out to trace the contour of Jacob’s jaw. Their shared look conveyed not just love but a mutual understanding of everything they had been through and the journey that lay ahead.Today, however, was not just another day. It marked the beg
In the vast expanse where the untamed wilderness met the fringes of civilization, the Horizon pack carved out its sanctuary. It was to this place that Abigail found herself banished, her past a shadow that clung to her steps, heavy with regret and defiance. The pack, under the leadership of Alpha Corbin, offered her refuge—but it was the kindness and understanding of Elias, the pack's second in command, that offered her a glimmer of hope for redemption.One crisp morning, as dawn painted the sky in hues of gold and cerise, Elias approached Abigail during her solitary wanderings along the edge of the pack's territory. "The wilderness is a great teacher," he began, his voice gentle yet carrying an undercurrent of strength. "It teaches us about resilience, about the strength that comes from facing our hardships head-on. You've been given a second chance, Abigail. Not many receive such a gift."Abigail regarded him warily, unused to being addressed without contempt or suspicion. "And what
The dusk had painted the sky in hues of orange and purple, a serene backdrop to the day's end. Antonio, known among his kin as the Lycan King, stood at the edge of the forest that bordered the pack's territory, his gaze lost in the horizon's silhouette. Despite his aging frame, he emanated a sense of timeless strength and authority, commanding respect from all who knew him.Jacob approached him, his steps measured and respectful. Despite their previous interactions, marked by goodwill and understanding, this meeting carried a different weight for Jacob. It was not just as the Alpha of his pack or as Mia's chosen mate that he came but as a man seeking the approval of the elder who had seen generations rise and fall, who had guided his family through tumultuous times with wisdom and courage."Antonio," Jacob greeted, his tone conveying both respect and an underlying nervousness.Antonio turned, his expression softening as he laid eyes on the younger man. "Jacob," he acknowledged, nodding
The journey to the hospital was enveloped in a thick, silence, one that was filled with a mixture of apprehension and a flickering hope. The sun set in a blaze of color, casting long shadows that stretched across the road, mirroring the complex emotions that interlaced within Mia’s heart. Sitting beside her in their vehicle was Jacob, his presence a steady reassurance of support and strength. His hand found hers, their fingers intertwining as if to say, "I’m here, no matter what lies ahead."Jacob squeezed Mia's hand as they entered the hospital, his loving eyes offering silent encouragement. They made their way through the sterile corridors, the antiseptic smell mingling with the low murmur of voices and the occasional beep of medical equipment, a constant reminder of the fragility of human life.Finally, they stood outside Dawn's room, a deep breath drawn by Mia as she prepared to face her mother, to bridge the gap that years of misunderstandings and hurt had created. Jacob's presenc
Kane, with his sturdy frame and penetrating gaze, approached the holding cell where Abigail was kept. Beside him, Cherry walked with a resolve that belied her usually warm and vivacious demeanor. They had agreed to undertake this task together, knowing full well the emotional and physical toll it could exact on them.As the heavy door to the cell creaked open, they found Abigail sitting on the small cot, her eyes devoid of the fiery defiance that once defined her. Instead, a resignation seemed to have settled over her, a silent acknowledgment of the reality that awaited her."We're here to take you to your new home," Kane announced, his voice steady but not unkind. Cherry remained silent, her eyes meeting Abigail's with a mixture of sadness and determination.Abigail nodded, rising to her feet with a grace that seemed incongruous with her current predicament. "I understand," she said simply, her voice a hollow echo of the woman she once was.The journey was long and fraught with an uns
The full moon hung low and brilliant in the inky night sky, bathing the forest clearing in its ethereal glow. Mia stood at the center of the sacred space, her heart pounding with a heady mix of excitement and trepidation. Tonight, she would officially become Luna, solidifying her bond with Jacob and her role as leader of their pack.Around her, the pack had gathered, a sea of familiar faces illuminated by the flickering flames of the ceremonial fire. Mia could feel the weight of their expectant gazes, but rather than filling her with dread, it filled her with a sense of purpose and determination.At her side stood Cherry, her face alight with pride and joy for her best friend. "You look absolutely radiant," Cherry whispered, giving Mia's hand a gentle squeeze.Mia managed a small smile, her fingers brushing over the intricate updo that Cherry had so lovingly crafted, woven through with delicate wildflowers and shimmering moonstone beads. "Thanks to you," she murmured, her voice thick w
Abigail shook her head vehemently, her eyes wild with denial. "No, no, you can't mean that. We're meant to be together, Jacob. Can't you see? Mia is nothing but a temporary obstacle, one that can be easily removed."Jacob's expression hardened, his jaw clenched with barely restrained fury. "Do not speak of Mia in such a way ever again," he growled, his voice laced with a warning that sent a chill down Abigail's spine. "She is my mate, my equal in all things, and I will not tolerate any threats against her."Abigail's lips twisted into a sneer, her desperation giving way to bitterness and rage. "So, that's it then? You've chosen that pathetic excuse for a Luna over me? Over our destiny?"Jacob met her gaze unflinchingly, his eyes burning with a fierce determination. "There is no 'our destiny', Abigail. There is only my bond with Mia, forged by the moon goddess herself. It is unbreakable, and no amount of delusional fantasies on your part will ever change that."Abigail let out a harsh l
