Stormie-

“I rushed over as soon as I heard.” Misty approached the bed, took the cards out of my hand, and placed them on the table while she held my hand. “I was so worried. How are you feeling?”

I had to blink a few times as I wasn’t familiar with this side of her. “When did you start caring?”

“She doesn’t.” Axel coughed. “I am sure she is only here to benefit herself.”

Narrowing my eyes, I glared at Axel. Even if my sister and I weren’t on good terms, I don’t think she has done anything to receive this treatment from him. Misty knew how to act, but she wasn’t that good. Looking at Misty, I wondered if she was genuinely concerned about me.

“That isn’t true. My sister and I might not see eye to eye, but she is my sister. I would never wish harm on her.”

Alpha Axel scoffed but didn’t say anything else as he tapped against the screen on his phone. I wanted to say something but wasn’t sure if I should. The indifference he was showing his wife was a little harsh. I would ask Landon about

    Axel-After leaving the hospital, I met Breck and Dominic outside. I texted them when Misty arrived, but they didn’t arrive on time. Since Misty had followed me out, I didn’t say anything until after I was in the vehicle with them.By the time we returned home, I was fuming. I went to the gym instead of going to the office to discuss things. Putting on boxing gloves, I took out my frustrations on a heavy bag. Breck positioned himself on the other side, holding it for me.With each throw, I felt a little better, but not enough. Although I was pissed at Misty, I was imagining I was hitting Landon. Not once did he help explain things to Stormie. It was almost as if he was happy that she had lost her memory.“What are we going to do now?” Breck asked.“I think Misty might be behind this.” I focused on punching the bag while I spoke.“I think so, too. Even if she didn’t, she is using the accident to her advantage. I wonder how she found out about Stormie’s situation, but no one was suppose

    Stormie-“Thank you, but I am going to pass.” As I walk away, I have mixed feelings about refusing him.Over the last few days, I couldn’t come to a conclusion. Dr. Henkes told me to trust Alpha Axel, but for all I know, he was told to say that. As the Alpha, Axel could command Pack members to obey him. I still didn’t know if Landon was telling me the truth either.I felt I still needed more time to understand things, but I knew it wouldn’t help if anyone influenced me. Until I figure out the truth, I think the best thing for me is to figure myself out. Dr. Henkes told me that it is likely my condition is only temporary.“Please, Stormie, I need to talk to you. It isn’t safe for you right now.” Axel caught up with me, grabbing my arm and pulling me to a stop.Without turning toward him, I stiffened. Something about his touch made me feel like we had a connection, but I couldn’t ask my wolf what it meant. For whatever reason, she hadn’t responded to me in the last two days. Perhaps she

    Stormie-The following morning, I arrived at work feeling great. Everyone that I met at the orphanage was friendly and often smiled. A few kids ran up to me, hugging me and saying how much they missed me. When one worker approached me on the way to the locker room with my new uniform, I wondered if I had worked here after I turned eighteen.“It is so great to see you again. Come find me if you have any questions.” The female left before I could find out what her name was.When I thought about yesterday, when I applied, I realized I hadn’t had an interview. I had walked in asking for a job, and they hired me on the spot. I should probably have informed them that I had lost my memory, but I didn’t want them to think I was unable to do the job.Following the directions to the locker room, I found an empty locker on the far side of the room. The locker room was empty when I entered, but while admiring my uniform, I heard a few girls enter. Wanting to hurry up and change, I sat on the benc

    Axel-“Bad news, Axel.” Breck rushed into my office without knocking.“What is it?” I instantly panicked, thinking something terrible had happened to Stormie.“I was following Landon, and it appears that Stormie has a job outside the territory. It is the next town over, but she is supposed to be going for training a few hours away. I followed them to the library. I had someone watch her while I continued to trail Landon.”For a second, my heart stopped. If she leaves the territory, I won’t be able to keep her safe. I couldn’t send another member of the pack because she would sense the connection. I couldn’t go because it would alert too many unknown threats.“When is she supposed to leave?”“I don’t know yet. By the time I learned about it, it was too late to find out. I have someone else watching Landon currently. You should also know that he is staying at the hotel Stormie is at. He hides his car around the block and walks through the back door. Tomorrow, I was going to send someone

    Stormie-“I have some things to handle today, but I can come by to see you tomorrow after you finish your first day of training.” Landon set my bag on the bed closest to the window.Landon tried to get me a single room, but the hotel refused. Everyone that was to start training tomorrow would have a roommate. I didn’t mind, but I hoped I would be able to get along with my new roommate.“That sounds good. I heard my roommate was due to arrive today. I can spend the day preparing and getting to know her.” “I will leave you to it then. Call me if you need anything.” Landon waved as he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.Since the bed by the window was the nicest, I moved my bag to the other bed. I didn’t want to be rude and take the bed. I also thought it would help us get along. A week with a stranger would be hard.As I started unpacking, the door to the room opened. Before I turned around, I sensed that they were like me. Turning around, I saw a beautiful girl with

    Stormie-On the last day of training, I wasn’t sure how to feel. Initially, I felt awkward and like I was waiting to stumble over my feet. Now, I felt confident and like I could accomplish anything.“Are you ready to go?” Jaz called out from the front room.I was finishing up in the bathroom after changing into a dress. Jaz brought a black dress for me and a purple dress for her. They were similar in appearance. It was Jaz’s idea to go out and celebrate, as we were leaving tomorrow.I was over the moon after learning she would be working at the same hotel as me. We became good friends in a short time. She was the only person around me who didn’t seem to have ulterior motives.Leaving the bathroom, I smiled when I saw her standing by the door in her purple dress. Her complexion was darker than mine, but with the purple dress, she had a softer edge. I never thought I would wear black, but I couldn’t even fault it after putting the dress on.At first, I refused to wear a dress to celebra

    Stormie-“I don’t think you need to worry about Stormie anymore.” Landon said to whoever he was on the phone with.I wasn’t close enough to hear who he was talking to. I was in plain sight, but quickly and quietly, I moved behind an oversized plant. Now covered by the plant, I moved a leaf slightly to see Landon, but hopefully, he couldn’t see me if he turned.“No, I don’t think she will. We had dinner together, and she said she would renounce the Pack.” Landon responded, but I wish I could hear who he was talking to.“Can I help you, Miss?” Someone spoke from behind me.Thinking quickly to make the person leave so I could finish listening, I shook my head and craned my neck to look at the hotel staff. “I think my boyfriend is cheating on me, so I want to get proof.” I whispered.“Okay.” She also responded in a low voice, smiling slightly before walking away.Once I was alone, I returned my attention to Landon. He was now facing the direction of the hotel, but I couldn’t tell if he ha

    Stormie-After lying down to go to bed that night, I considered Jaz’s suggestion but couldn’t reach a conclusion. The following morning, I decided not to concern myself with it. For now, I will focus on my current life and stabilize myself. I was sure that, in time, my memories would return.After Jaz and I were packed and ready to leave, I followed Jaz to the parking lot. I expected that her vehicle would be small, but I was surprised to see a large black Jeep. It looked identical to the one Alpha Axel had been driving when I was released from the hospital.“Is this your Jeep?” I asked as I helped her load our luggage in the back.“Why do you ask?” Jaz almost dropped the bag she was loading, and her voice sounded a little weird.“My Alpha has a similar Jeep. I was wondering if you had a connection with him.”“Oh.” It was hard to miss the nervous shakiness in her voice. “There are a lot of people with this Jeep. My boyfriend’s friend is letting me use his since I don’t have a vehicle

    Axel- Sitting at a table in a holding cell meant for visitations, Stormie and I waited for a guard to bring Landon in. Considering Landon had been involved in harming Stormie, I wasn’t about to let him near her without enforced supervision. After waiting for five minutes, the door to the cell opened, and Landon was guided inside with his wrists and ankles handcuffed. Once Landon was sat down and chained to the chair, I waited and watched to see what would happen. I didn’t have much to say to Landon, as I never planned to forgive him entirely. Until he could prove himself worthy, I would always regard him as a danger to Stormie. I was only here to give my mate the support she needed. I noticed that even as Landon sat across from Stormie, he avoided her gaze. Stormie, on the other hand, stared at Landon for a long time. Neither of them said anything, and I wondered if we would sit here silently for the entire hour. “I am sorry.” Landon mumbled forty-five minutes later. Stormie kept

    Stormie-“Is it because I am the Alpha King?” He chuckled.Feeling a knot in my stomach, I tentatively nodded, my hand instinctively reaching up to rub the back of my neck. “A little.”“When I met your mother, she pretended to be human. When she was pregnant, she left me a note telling me that she was pregnant but had to return home. I tried to find her, but it was like she vanished off the earth and then reappeared with you and your sister. She vanished into thin air before I could ask her where she had been. I realized that nothing about her was simple. After I lost the two of you, I stopped searching for your mother and focused on finding you.”Feeling like this was a lot to take in all at once, I wanted to change the topic. “I am sure I will have more questions, but we can slowly get to know each other over time. Why don’t we head to the cemetery now?”Axel stood and helped me to my feet just as my father stood. Still a little nervous, I grabbed Axel’s hand as we headed toward the

    Stormie-When I went to the living room after my shower, Axel was pacing the floor. Before letting him know I was done, I watched him for a few seconds. He kept mumbling something as he paced, but I couldn’t hear what he was saying. He kept rubbing his hands together, and his eyes were drawn to the ground.“Axel?” I approached him slowly.His movements stopped as his head snapped up. Like a deer caught in the headlights, he stared at me before rushing toward me. I couldn’t help but flinch when he suddenly grabbed me by the shoulders and steered me toward the couch. Forcing me to sit down, he resumed pacing.“What is wrong?” I asked, starting to feel anxious.Rapidly, he stopped pacing and sat beside me on the couch. His body was angled toward me, and I could see he was trying to process something. The longer it took him to speak, the more afraid I became.“While you were sleeping this past week, there is something I did that I didn’t report.” Axel said in a rush.“Whatever it is, you

    Stormie-Moving from room to room, I was amazed at how spacious everything was. The apartment had a living room, office, kitchen, and dining room, all of which had an open concept. Aside from the bathroom connected to the primary bedroom, a smaller bathroom was next to the living room.There were also three bedrooms in total. One of the bedrooms had been converted into a nursery. The nursery hadn’t been fully set up, but it was filled with things for a baby.A box contained magazines and samples for decorating a nursery. I felt emotional as I sat on the floor and skimmed through one of the magazines. Inside, I found hundreds of notes in Axel’s handwriting.He noted the things he liked and put my name and a question mark on a few others. Many of the notes were about what to get depending on the gender of the baby. There were also notes about whether something would be safe for an infant.Tears filled my eyes as I flipped through a few more magazines. At the bottom of the box was a book

    Stormie-When Landon released her, I rushed forward to get Misty away from him. In a split second, Landon turned Misty toward him and plunged the knife into her chest. My own chest exploded with pain as Landon pushed Misty away, and she fell to the ground.Placing my hands over my heart, I gasped for air. Falling to my knees, I was thankful when Axel caught me. My eyes focused on Misty as she lay on her back, with blood pouring out of her chest. Her eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling.I didn’t need to confirm that she was dead, as I could sense it. A dark cloud formed inside me, and I slowly succumbed to the darkness. Falling limp in Axel’s arms, everything around me disappeared.While I was asleep, I kept dreaming of the life I had, starting from an early age. Every good and bad moment replayed in my head. When I woke up, I abruptly sat up, gasping for air. My hands covered my chest as if I could relieve the pain in my heart.“You’re awake.” Axel moved onto the bed from a chair

    Stormie-Something snapped inside of me at the last second. As if time slowed down, my face hardened as I glared at her. Feeling my strength return in a hot burst, I broke through the rope that tied me to the chair.My eyes burned with fury as I narrowed them on her. Seconds before Misty could shove the needle in me. I caught her wrist with my newly freed hand. Her eyes widened, and I could feel fear resonating from her. Keeping her wrist in my hand, I rose to her level.She took a staggering step back as he attention darted to my hand around her wrist. Misty attempted to twist her wrist as she tried pulling it away. Not willing to release her, I tightened my grip.“You have made me suffer, almost killed me, turned people against me, abused everyone around you, stolen from me, tried to take away the one person you will never be able to have, and so much more.” I edged forward, pushing her back at the same time. “Never again will I allow you to treat me like this. From this moment for

    Stormie-“How can I trust you not to change your mind again?” Axel's jaw muscles tensed as he glared at Misty.“If you want to be technical, you were the one to break the rules.” Misty stepped away from me.“What rule did I break?”“I told you your body can’t touch the ground, but you did multiple times. The only reason I didn’t say anything was because I was enjoying the show.” Misty moved away from me, but she was out of my line of sight.Craning my neck, I looked over my shoulder to see what she was doing. I was nearly at full strength but still needed a little more time. When I saw her approaching the crate holding the wolfsbane, my eyes widened as I turned my head toward Axel.From what I could see, he was watching her every move. Turning my head again, I couldn’t see what Misty was doing, as her back obstructed my view. It wasn’t difficult to guess that she was preparing a syringe to inject me again.My gaze moved past her, where Landon was standing. His eyes were also focused o

    Axel-Hearing a noise from behind me, I didn’t need to look behind me as I heard a whooshing sound, like a bat swinging through the air. Ducking my head, I grabbed the bat after it passed over my head. The rogue held tight.While he pulled on it, I reached behind me and grabbed the rogue's ankle. Another attack came as I pulled the rogue's leg out from under him. At the last second, I had full control over the bat. Using it as a shield, I blocked the next attack and then retaliated.Swinging the bat as hard as I could, I smashed it against the second rogue’s leg. When I heard the sound of a bone breaking, satisfaction swirled within me. A third rogue came at me with a whip in his hands.Unlike the others, he didn’t directly approach me. He stopped a reasonable distance away before swinging his arm out to throw the whip toward me. Using the bat, I held it out so the whip twisted around the bat. Grabbing the end of the whip with my hand, I pulled it toward me.The guy holding it wasn’t

    Axel-“What do you want us to do?” Breck’s and Dominic’s voices overlapped as they spoke inside my head.“It is too risky to try anything right now. Until I can find an opening, I have no choice but to play by their rules.” I responded through the Pack link.I hated that Stormie was injured twice because of my failure to abide by Misty’s wishes. I could tell that Stormie was more upset about what I was being forced to do than the pain that had been inflicted upon her. Regardless of how much it hurt mine and my wolf’s pride, nothing was as crucial as Stormie’s life.“I have never asked you for anything, but I am begging you to please stop.” Tears streamed down Stormie’s face as she looked at Misty.“I am okay.” I gritted my teeth and smiled at Stormie, but she didn’t look in my direction.“I am just getting started.” Misty swatted Landon away from Stormie.Landon seemed reluctant at first but ended up backing away. Seeing that Landon was showing a little decency to Stormie, I might all
