Chapter 9: Five Years Later...

A very beautiful and successful looking Alexa stepped out of the plane and the airport taxi conveyed her to the hotel that had already been booked for her. Her two children, Landon and Leigh by her side, chatting excitedly.

'Mum, hope you have brought us back to see our father?' Landon asked.

Not again, Alexa thought miserably. How was she going to tell her pups she did not know who their father was? It was true that she had regained some of her memory but there was still a lot of blank spaces. She had actually come back because she sought answers herself. She prayed the Moon Goddess would direct her on the right part.

'I have come to see if I can find him', she replied. 'Remember, I have not fully recovered from my illness. But as soon as I find him, he has no option but to accept you!'

'Yehhhh!' they both shouted in glee, smiling happily at their beautiful mother who smiled back at them. She hoped that she was not going to disappoint them.She clearly recalled what the doctor had told her, when she recovered some of her memories after undergoing treatment for a while.

'This clearly shows me that your subconscious is blocking out some memories', he had said. 'Maybe because they are unpleasant or too painful for you to comprehend. I might be wrong about that but I have this guy feeling that I am right!'

'What do I do now?' she asked.

'Since you now recall your parents, go back to your roots and find the answers that you seek. So she prepared to come back home to the blood moon pack and here she was. She hoped that her trip back would not be a disappointment. She just didn't know the reason she was having these misgivings.

'They got to the hotel, Uncle Wayne had booked ahead for them.He was going to come visit them soon. From the hotel, they were going to live in his house. At first the children had thought he was their father but Alexa soon told them he was not, but a friend, so they were to call him Uncle Wayne. She could never forget all he had done for her. Once she found the answer she sought, she might just get a daddy for her pups and who better to fit the bill....

The next day, they moved into Wayne's residence and his servants gave them a warm welcome, whispering among themselves that the boss' fiancee was a very beautiful and well mannered young lady.

After settling in, Alexa found she was restless. She had come here seeking answers and if they were not favourable ones, she would go back abroad with her children.

Alexa had grown into a very beautiful and stunning lady. She had become very successful for Wayne had helped her establish her own fashion company that had started thriving and if things worked as she hoped, she was planning on establishing a branch here as well but wanted to keep that away from her family, especially from her step mother and sister. She could not trust them and neither could she bring herself to forgive them for abandoning her when she needed them the most. And Camellia, she had left her to die after she had given birth to her pups. And she had blamed herself for doubting such a great sister. A great sister indeed. She had often wondered when she regained her memory if Camellia was responsible for drugging her that night. But that was all in the past. She had her babies and she was now independent and no one can intimidate her anymore.But why stay with her if Camellia was going to abandon her? She needed to get the answer to that.

She had left Landon and Leigh, her children at the hotel with a sitter as she made her way to her previous home, a home where she had been nothing but a despised maid and an unwanted stranger. Anyway, that was in the past now, no one dared to treat her like dirt anymore. She was not going to stand for it! She was done being pushed about by people, especially those who ware supposed to care for her.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she did not see the car coming, as she walked across the road. The screeching of tires was what alerted her to the danger she was in.. Thankfully, the car screeched to a stop just as it reached her.

'Will you watch where you are going?' the driver shouted at her.

Alexa looked at the car, very shaken. She had not escaped death five years ago, only to die now when her goal was within her grasp.

'Sorry', she murmured, as she looked at the driver. But it was the man on the owner's side that attracted her attention. Those silvery grey eyes....

Those eyes stared at her and she could not seem to look away either. Something flicked through his eyes before becoming blank. 'Drive!' he ordered, before lifting the newspaper paper he had obviously been reading and burying his face in it, as the car drove pass her.

Where had she seen that man before? she thought. Something in her felt that it was important for her to remember but she just couldn't seem to recall.

'Get a hold on yourself!' She cautioned herself. 'You are here on a mission which does not include taking note of some stunning grey eyes of a handsome stranger. It was a stranger that got you into the mess that you are in, before your family capitulated on it, to destroy you. 'Stay focus and trust no one!' After scolding herself she forgot about the incident as she looked forward to the reactions of her family as they see her for the first time after all these years.

While Alexa was busy cautioning herself, Prince Hector was also wondering why the woman that was nearly knocked down looked so familiar and why he felt like they had a bond....

'Sam', Lyncan Prince Hector called his Beta. Did you get a good look at that woman like I asked earlier, when she was apologizing?'

'I did but for the life of me, I can't see why except that she is really very gorgeous. Are you interested in her? Remember you are engaged!'

I don't have to explain myself to you', Prince Hector said. 'And neither do I need any counsel from you. What I want you to do is to find out all you can about that woman and report back to me!'

She looks so familiar, but I can't seem to recall where or how I met her! he thought, and I don't know why I feel so drawn to her.
