Chapter 4

I can't stop thinking about how I feel. I'm perplexed. I'm at a loss for what else to do. I want to remember, but a part of me is afraid because of the last memories I have. I'm suddenly terrified of wanting those memories to return. I just kept the ring in my bag and returned to the office, where I found Elena in her cubicle. She appears to have completed her presentation.

"Elena," I said to my friend. She quickly shifted her gaze to me.

"I heard you're on leave; why are you here?" she inquired, taken aback by my presence. I sat beside her. I know it's her break time now, so I won't bother her too much.

"Did you notice the new CEO in your presentation?" I inquired. The frown on her brow was immediately replaced with excitement and thrill.

"Oh, my God! Why did you remind me? It makes me even more excited!" she exclaimed, pinching her own cheeks. I simply shook my head. Elena is probably acting this way because the new CEO is attractive.

"If you only knew Amara! Damn! He's so handsome! Blue eyes! Long hair! He's even more handsome than the models I see on TV!" Elena exclaimed, her voice full of excitement. As my heart pounded, I bit my lower lip. The eyes are blue. Why am I moved just by mentioning that our CEO has blue eyes?

Maybe because in my previous memory, I was smitten with this particular prince with blue eyes. I'm suddenly curious about our CEO's appearance.

Elena seemed unconcerned when I asked her more questions about the CEO. Because of her stories, I became even more interested in our new CEO's personality. And one more thing...I suspect the person whose voice I recognize and whom I have met several times has a significant role in my past.

But that man expects me to recall my past on my own. But how do I go about doing that? I need something to serve as a reminder. Someone needs to remind me. And I'm confident that man can assist me. I have no idea who he is, but I know he can help me remember.

But I know I won't be able to see the CEO. I also know that because of his position, he is difficult to reach. The CEO is swamped with work, and even an appointment with me is out of the question.

I'm at a loss for what to do. Elena and I left the office together, only to become separated on the bus. I smiled as I waved her goodbye, but my smile faded when I noticed a man standing on the other side of the road. When the bus arrived, I noticed the man staring at me even more.

When I saw him more clearly, my heart skipped a beat. He's no longer wearing a hoodie, so I can see his face. Even though the sky is dark and only street lights illuminate the road, I can't be mistaken about his face being visible.

He has long hair above his shoulder that makes him look hot and manly. His blue eyes reflect the light from the streetlight above him. His lips are pursed and his nose is well-defined. Even in his suit and tie, I know he has a well-toned and majestic body that any girl would die to see.

But something flashed through my mind as I stared at him. My head throbbed as I saw him dressed differently than I remembered. He was dressed in a dignified and handsome royal robe, and he wore a crown.

That image flashed through my mind, and in an instant, the man was no longer standing where he was. That's why I dashed over there to look for him.

No. He is not allowed to leave again. He can't abandon me again. I have a long list of questions for him. I've got a lot to say. I have a lot of questions. Why does he keep abandoning me? Why does he want to play with my thoughts?

While looking for him, I almost burst into tears. I circled the entire block, but I never saw him again. My tears ran like a river. My vision became blurry as tears streamed down my cheeks, but I kept looking out into the streets, hoping to see him.

"Please..." I begged myself. My heart feels like it's breaking even more. I'm not sure why I'm feeling this way. I'm completely brokenhearted. Pain stings my heart on a regular basis. I'm starting to lose hope of remembering. I was so perplexed when I awoke from that tragedy, and now...I feel like I'm back at square one.

"Please let me see you," I begged as I sobbed in the middle of the street. There are a few people walking by, and I'm sure many of them are wondering what I'm up to, but I don't mind. I simply want to find him. That guy. That man haunts my dreams and memories.

"Amara..." When I heard that voice, I was taken aback. That sound. I can't be wrong. I turned slowly to face him. My eyes lifted up to see his face, and my breathing became labored as I finally got this close to him. Because of the intensity, he's giving me, I feel like I'm drowning.

"W-why... did you leave?" My voice trembled in response to the question. My tears continue to fall no matter how hard I try. Even though I'm now facing him, I'm still completely baffled as to why I'm in so much pain. Even though I know I'm glad to see him now, it's as if something about him is attempting to break my heart. I'm not even sure why I'm happy. I think I'm going insane right now.

"I don't want to hurt you anymore," he said, sending shivers down my spine. I took a step forward to close the gap between us. As we inhaled his scent, my wolf became enraged within me. There is no doubt about it. He is, my mate. This is why I felt such a strong attraction to him.

"Please...I want to know...who are you?" I tried to keep my voice steady despite the fact that it was clearly trembling.

He looked me in the eyes and had something he wanted to say, but he kept it to himself. It's as if he's trying to keep it from me. I finally heard the words when his lips parted to speak...

"I'm your...husband," he says.

And after hearing that response, my thoughts wandered. Everything around me came to a halt, and I felt as if we were the only ones standing in the middle of the night street. My memories then flitted back like a river with a strong wind blowing by.

"Amara!" exclaimed my friend Shena. We are just as busy because of our jobs as we were before. We're at the kingdom's dump site, and it's our job to keep the garbage organized so that it doesn't pile up too much. I learned to work for myself at the age of ten after my parents were murdered by rogues during the haunting season.

I became a pauper on the road until I met Shena while working at the dump. We were two years apart in age and treated each other as best friends.

"Look what I found!" she exclaimed, pointing to a beautiful dress she discovered at the dump site. When I saw those two dresses, my smile broadened. She'll definitely give me one!

"Is this one for me?" I inquired eagerly. She gave a nod. We both wore that dress and were very pleased with how well it fit us. I learned to be happy in the smallest things at a young age because, despite the fact that I no longer have parents, I am still fortunate to have something to eat and live in this world.

Even though my life has not been easy, even though I have been deprived of a life of luxury and have lost my parents at a young age, I am thankful and grateful for the opportunity to see...Crown Prince Greyson Ruiz, the future Alpha of the North Snow Kingdom.

I saw him for the first time when I was twelve and knew he was the man I would only love for the rest of my life. I saw him and his father riding their horses around the kingdom. I've admired him and fantasized about him ever since. I was always present and kept an eye on the Alpha and Prince whenever they came to town. Because I know our two worlds will never collide.

"Why do you like the prince so much? Didn't you hear about him being so ruthless?" Shena asked as she watched the Alpha and the Prince pass through town.

"I'm not sure. Is it necessary to have a reason to like someone?" I asked, mystified. Shena simply shook her head, as if what I was saying was ridiculous and impossible.

"I can't wait to turn eighteen to find out if he's my mate," I chuckled to myself, wishing for time to fly by so I could see what the future held.
