I am awake before my alarm goes off in the morning. My eyes fly open with an intensity they haven’t in years, not since I was a little kid on my birthday, and I realize why about half a second later.
McKayla is still here, in my bed, draped across my chest. I need her to go home before Aria sees her. Why? I’m not sure. I doubt that the maid will even care that I have another girl in my bed. But I still feel compelled to make her go home before Aria comes in to clean.
I glance at the clock. It’s just a little past 7:00. I don’t usually get up this early. I don’t usually get up until at least 8:00. But I am wide awake now. I decide to go ahead and take a shower and get ready for work. The floral scent of McKayla’s perfume, or whatever it is that make

SebastianI can’t concentrate again, and it really sucks. I speak on the phone with a few people, but everything they say goes in one ear and out the other. I stare at emails. I open files and close them. I get absolutely nothing done. By 4:00, I am done pretending to work and decide to head upstairs.I want to see Aria. I want to watch her clean. I want to smell that fragrant scent of vanilla and hear her sing another song in that beautiful voice I heard the other day when I snuck up on her. I want to hear her say my name. I want to hold her in my arms. I might not be able to do that last part, but the rest might be enough to at least get her off of my mind for a little while.I know that’s not the case, that I simply can’t get her off of my mind, but if I don’t see he

AriaI get a letter from my parents that afternoon. It is the only thing that keeps me from freaking out. I am upset about the situation with Sebastian. When I tell Mim about it, she says not to worry, that of course he has a booty call girl, that all of the guys his age have that, but she’s not his fated mate, so it doesn’t matter.I say, “Neither am I,” and Mim pulls me to her shoulder to cry for a few minutes. I get myself back together, and we finish cleaning, and then, after dinner, we return to our room, and I see the letter on my bed.I squeal as I rip it open. It’s only the fourth letter I’ve gotten from my parents, and it’s been a few weeks since I got one, so I am so excited to get it.Mim smiles

SebastianI run until my lungs are burning, and then I hop the fence and run some more. I left Dez far behind, not because I don’t want his company, although maybe I don’t at the moment, but because he can’t keep up with me when I’m running like this. No one can. I’m not running toward anything or even away from anything--except for myself.By the time the sun is about ready to come up, I know I need to return to the house. I will have a long day today having gotten no rest, but I do have work to do, so there’s no sense in trying to get out of it. Instead, I return to my room and take a shower, lying down on my bed afterward for about an hour before I’ll have to get up and get dressed.I have a towel around my waist, and it reminds me of when Aria walk

AriaI don’t know what to do. I don’t know what just happened. I was almost done cleaning Sebastian’s room when he came in. It doesn’t take nearly as long as it did when I’d first started cleaning it, and now, I can do the whole thing in less than three hours. But since he was sitting there, I decided to re-clean some of the places I’d already cleaned.The next thing I know, he’s coming out the bathroom door, and we collide. His arms are around me, he’s holding me close, and then… we kiss. More than once, actually. I don't know what to do. I don’t know what to think….I can’t tell Mim about this. In my gut, I get the feeling that I shouldn’t tell her. I’m not sure why. It seems silly. She’s my best friend, after

AriaAt least I don’t walk in on a makeout fest this time when I go to join Mim downstairs where she’s cleaning an office. Dez is there, and the two of them are chatting, flirting, but their faces aren’t attached to one another, which is good because I’m not sure I can handle that at the moment, not after kissing Sebastian earlier.I start cleaning after a quick greeting, and Mim is sort of dusting as she flirts with Dez. He keeps saying he can’t stay long, that he knows something is going on based on the amount of people that Victor has in his office, and he’ll have to go check in with Sebastian soon. I don’t say anything, just clean, and try not to think about what had happened earlier.“Are you all right, Aria?” Mim asks me after about t

SebastianRunning doesn’t do anything to make me feel better about the situation with Aria, but I do it anyway, not only because my father has asked us to make sure that our borders are secure, but because I am trying to keep my mind off of the beautiful woman I am bound to run into again tomorrow, perhaps literally and purposely, and I am struggling to keep my thoughts from flooding with everything there is to think about her.I feel the leaves, the dirt, the rocks beneath my paws. It has snowed recently, and the ground is moist, though the snow is mostly melted except for in the shaded areas of forest beneath the larger trees. I smell the deep scent of the woods. It coats my lungs and reminds me that I am a wild animal, at least in my wolf form. It makes me feel feral and free. It makes me forget about all things human, at least f

AriaI take a deep breath and knock on Sebastian’s door, half praying he doesn’t answer. It’s a little after 8:30, so I’m earlier than usual, and I know he might be in the shower. Or still sleeping. Or entertaining a girl. I don't think that will be the case since I heard him out on the prowl only a few hours ago, as the sun was coming up, but I have to brace myself in case he opens the door and a girl is in his bed. Or a girl opens his door, for that matter.When the door opens, it’s Sebastian, standing there with hooded eyes, wearing only a pair of jogging pants, slung low around his waist. I take a deep breath and try not to stare when it’s so hard because he looks so damn good.“Aria,” he says before I get enough air in my lungs to speak.

SebastianI am moving so quickly down the hallway toward the room where the maids keep their cleaning supplies, if I happen to run into anyone, I’m sure I will knock them clean through the wall. Seeing Aria cry and knowing it was at the hand of some worthless maids has my own heart aching. I can’t get to the closet soon enough.I hear them before I see them and know exactly who it is. Two of my mother’s maids, Helena and Gertrude, two old ladies who have far too much time on their hands cleaning a room that it would only take one person a few hours to clean. They’ve been here forever, since they were young enough to have to wear a uniform like the one Aria is forced to wear now, the one they are calling her names because of.I slow down before I reach them because I wan

Sebastian I am standing at the end of an aisle, outside in my mother’s garden behind our house, waiting for the most wonderful woman in the world to walk down and stand beside me so that the preacher before us can pronounce us man and wife. All of our friends and family are also here, including the remaining members of Vargas Pack. There are rows and rows of white folding chairs covering the velvety green lawn. The sky is crystal blue, white puffy clouds roll by high above us, and I can’t imagine how my life could be any more perfect than it is at this moment. My father retired from being the pack Alpha a few months ago. He said he hoped it wouldn’t interfere with the wedding plans, but it was time. Mom had this river cruise she wanted to go on in Europe, and it was getting ready to set sail. He said he’d neglected her wishes for far t

Sebastian“I remember.”Hearing Aria say those two words is almost as good as it was to hear her say that she loved me for the first time. Tears fill my eyes as I look into hers, the magic from the rings in the moonlight dissipating as we are left in the ruins of her home with our arms around one another.“You do?”Her smile widens as she nods enthusiastically. “I do. I remember everything.”A sigh of relief escapes my lips as I wrap her up into my arms and swing her around. “I’m so glad,” I tell her as I set her down on her and brush her hair back before I kiss her. Just like our hands melding together started the magic that brought he

SebastianAria and I walk hand-in-hand up the hill that leads to her old village with the light of a full moon guiding our feet along the path. I am nervous about what might happen when we get to the top and she sees her old homesite. Either she will recognize where she’s at and a flood of memories will come back to her, or she won’t, and this entire visit will leave her devastated.I try to reassure her as we go. “Now, if this doesn’t work, it’s all right. There are lots of other things we can try. There are people we can see. We’ll go visit your old packmates. It’s possible that some of them will be able to help you remember. Or we can find a doctor, an expert on amnesia. I bet there’s a good one that knows about the shifter world already. If not, they don’t have to know you’re
Sold to the Alpha Searching Together
AriaWe take another plane to my hometown, or at least, as close to it as we can get. Sebastian tells me that there are no airports in my former territory. In fact, the closest one is a few hours’ drive from where we want to go. This time, on the airplane, when he wants to hold my hand, I not only let him, I want to hold his hand, too.The flight is much longer this time, over three hours. To pass the time, I ask Sebastian questions about his childhood, and he tells me stories about when he was a little boy. I wonder how many of them I have heard before and how many of them are brand new to me. He makes me laugh, and I love to hear the sound of his voice.But I am nervous. What if this is my last chance to remember? What if I get to my hometown and I don’t recognize anything?

AriaOnce again, Sebastian has me by the hand and is leading me down the stairs to another part of this enormous house. I have no idea where we are going, only that we are looking for some rings that Dez mentioned when he was talking about Mim.I don’t bother to ask Sebastian any more questions because he seems to not want to tell me anything. He said he needed to show me. Maybe whatever he’s going to show me will help me to understand more, even if it doesn’t help me remember.We stop at an office door on the first floor, and Sebastian knocks. I hear a deep voice that I think is his dad say, “Yeah? Who is it?”“Father, it’s me, Sebastian, with Aria. Can we come in?”

SebastianWaking up next to Aria, I think for a moment that things are normal, that all of this has just been one horrible nightmare, and she’s still exactly the way she should be, her memories are intact, and she knows who I am and who she is.Then her eyes open, and I can see the vacancy registering there. My heart feels crushed again. She blinks a few times and then smiles at me, and I don’t feel quite as bad.Since she lost her memories, I’ve felt terrible for her, but I have also held onto one selfish fear, that she will never remember me and won’t learn to love me again. I have been terrified that she will decide she doesn’t want to be with me anymore.This smile reassures me that that isn’t the case, that

AriaI feel like a wanton woman, but I want this man, and since we have been together many times, I can’t convince myself that it’s not okay. Trying to keep my hands off of him is like trying to prevent myself from breathing. The longer I try, the more it burns, the greater grows the need.I don’t know if the two of us being together will inspire any memories to fire off within my head, but at the moment, I don’t care. He is kissing me like he loves me, and I believe that maybe he does. He tastes like rain water, and I can’t get enough of the feel of his tongue against mine. He is cautious at first, taking his time, but when I place my mouth on his mark, he knows what I want and that I’m sure that I want it.We waste little time stripping our clothing off as
Sold to the Alpha Making Memories
SebastianI take Aria to my room, not sure what to expect. I am surprised that she’s had such vivid memories of Mim. It seems that scents can trigger memories for her, so I will have to try to think about how I can use this knowledge to help the situation in the future.I’m not sure there are any particular scents she can associate with my room at first, but when I open the door and see the bed, one comes to mind.Her memories might be trapped in her mind somewhere, but mine are not, and walking into the room, holding her hand, seeing the bed where we made love for the first time, where we made love so many times, I miss her in a way I haven’t missed her since she was lying in that hospital bed and I was sitting in the waiting room, waiting to see if she would recover.

AriaAfter a few days, I am dismissed from the hospital. Dr. Wilson, charming man that he is, says that normally, he would keep a patient who has no memories a bit longer, but in my case, he was fine sending me home. He said it was best if “my kind” took care of me. Since i still think I am his kind, I don’t appreciate this. But I go because I’d rather be anywhere but in the hospital.On the plane ride to Sebastian’s home, I sit next to him but say next to nothing as I stare at the window of the private jet we are on. His parents, who seem like nice enough people, although I’m not crazy about his dad, sit in the row in front of us and also don’t talk. Sebastian tries to get me to speak a few times. I mostly shrug and use one word responses, so he gives up. I know he wants to hold my hand, so when
