Chapter 4: Lost memory?

The time in the document was two years ago, which means that Aliyah is eighteen years old now. There are no new documents about the Angel organization, so I don't know any more helpful information about Aliyah.

Ryan howled in glee. Everything about Aliyah excites him. He wants to go out and find her to show intimacy and love. I try to stop it.

I got up and left the room. I want to find Aliyah. Not because Ryan wanted to see her but because I wanted to confirm if she really had amnesia. If she dares to lie to me, I can rip her mouth out as punishment.

Even though she's my mate, I won't give her special treatment since she's a hunter. I don't need a mate, so she's nothing to me.

'If you dare harm her, I will tear you apart!' Ryan growls, warning me. He knows what I'm thinking.

Before going to Aliyah's hospital room, I met a figure lurking in the hallway.

'MATE!' Ryan screamed and howled. I suppressed my feelings of being dominated by Ryan and hid in a corner to observe her.

Her expression was hazy, looking around and carefully moving. It seems that she is afraid of being discovered by others.

'She's been sneaking around like that and must have found a way out of here. She hasn't lost her memory.' I thought in my head.

When Aliyah approached me, I stepped out to block her way. She kept turning her head to look behind to see if anyone was chasing her so she didn't see me in front of her.

And she slammed into my solid chest muscles. As she staggered about to fall, I raised my hand to support her waist.

Our eyes met again, and I saw her eyes widen with panic. Those blue eyes suddenly engulfed my mind, and I couldn't take my eyes off them. The faint scent of mint wafts into the tip of my nose. It's sweeter and sexier than any scent I've ever smelled.

'Mate, mate, my mate!' Ryan howled excitedly again. He wanted to go out and perform the bonding ritual with his mate.

I recovered my spirit, tried to hold back my emotions, and let go of her. I feel I'm crazy. Maybe she did something to me with my wolf that made me so enamored.

Why do I want her to be my mate for a moment? I hate humans, and I hate hunters. I can't love her. Everyone in the pack will despise me if I say my mate is a hunter. Fortunately, I regained consciousness in time and controlled my emotions.

"Sorry for crashing into you!" Aliyah bowed her head and spoke in a soft and apologetic tone.

I was a bit surprised. She was different from when she was in prison. Did she really lose her memory?

On the surface, I kept my cool, "Aliyah!"

Aliyah raised her head to look at me, drawing her face in confusion as if she didn't know whom I was calling.

I sneered, "stop pretending! I don't believe you lose your memory so easily."

Saying that I suddenly squeezed her slender neck.

Aliyah screamed in panic. Her hands gripped mine tightly, and as she struggled, she explained, "Let me go! I'm not pretending. I don't remember anything. I don't know who Aliyah is..."

I squeeze more force, "I give you one last chance. If you continue to deceive me, don't blame me for strangling you!" Her face slowly turned red, and her eyes filled with tears, but she kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word. In her eyes, I see utter hatred.

'My Mate! I want to release her. Damn you! I will kill you if you dare to hurt her! Release her quickly, Charles!' Ryan screams furiously in my head. He was furious when he saw that his mate was about to be killed by me.

'Shut up, Ryan!'

'I won't be silent until you release my mate. I want to release her. Bastard.'

Ryan howled. He tried to control me to get out.

Ryan is a mighty wolf. He appeared when I was eight years old. At that time, I couldn't even control him and was directed by him. It took me a long time to tame him, and we lived together equally. Until now, he wanted to control my body because of his mate.

But now that I am no longer a child, I try to suppress his feelings of wanting to transform. We struggled for a while. Finally, I let go of Aliyah's neck before she suffocated to death.

It's not that I lost to Ryan but because I didn't want to fight him so pointlessly. Ryan also compromises when I spare Aliyah; he howls sadly.

Aliyah collapsed to the floor, coughing and gasping to regain the lost oxygen. At this moment, I saw a red patch of blood on her back.

My heart suddenly tightened as if someone was squeezing it. I feel like I'm feeling incredibly guilty and uncomfortable. I try to dispel those feelings, so they go away. I don't understand why I think this way.

I involuntarily raised my hand to help Aliyah get up. But when my hand was about to touch her, she pushed my hand away, "don't touch me!" She shouted in trembling.

I was a bit stunned but quickly regained my calm demeanor.

At this point, Serena came running from afar, "Sir Charles..." she exclaimed, extremely alarmed and frightened. It seems she is looking for Aliyah.

I said to Serena in a low voice, "why don't you oversee her to let her roam around here? If you're so careless, you don't need to work here anymore. Go to the logging area to work."

Serena fell to her knees, panicked, begging, "Sorry, sorry, sir! I didn't know she was running around outside... Please forgive me... I won't be so careless again. Please, forgive me this once..."

"Don't blame her. It's my fault that I left the room on my own. I'll take the punishment. It's not her fault. Forgive her." Aliyah immediately spoke up. Her voice was hoarse.

I raised my eyebrows. I don't think she can take the punishment for someone she just met for the first time.

Suddenly, an idea popped into my head. I will have Aliyah work beside me to monitor her actions. At the same time, I want to see how long she can suffer.

"Okay! From today, you will be my slave." I smirked and said coldly and left.
