Stormie-

I was still half asleep when I entered Axel’s hotel room the following morning. My thoughts kept me up most of the night. Although I thought about things all night, I could still not make sense of everything. At this rate, I wondered how long it would take to get locked up at an insane asylum. It wasn’t a matter of if but rather when.

When I alerted Axel that I had arrived to clean the hotel this morning, I was glad he didn’t answer. The bedroom door was open, and it didn’t seem like he had slept in the bed. Thinking it was best that I didn’t interact with him today, I started cleaning the living room.

Doing my best not to let my thoughts run wild, I focused on wiping everything down until it shined. After I was done with that room, I went into the kitchen. I was surprised to see it had already been cleaned, and the dirty dishes he used after I left had already been washed and put up.

It wasn’t until I moved into the bedroom that I realized I had felt like something was off

    Axel-Setting my bowl aside, I grabbed Stormie’s hand. She didn’t pull away, except she did seem troubled as her eyes dropped to our joined hands. When I noticed she kept chewing on her lip, I reached toward her with my free hand.Gently grabbing her chin, my thumb slid across her lower lip. Stormie lifted her gaze to meet mine, with her mouth dropping open. We stared at each other for a long time until she pulled her head back and cleared her throat.“I might not remember what happened, but I feel regretful toward you.” Stormie’s voice was shaky like she was on the verge of tears.“What happened wasn’t your fault. You don’t need to feel apologetic or like you owe me anything.” As I spoke, her eyes brimmed with tears.As soon as I find the ones responsible for her suffering, I will make them regret crossing paths with me. Anger slowly built inside me, but I cut it off at the source. I didn’t want Stormie to feel upset or see that I was angered by anything. Since this was progress betw

    Stormie-After Axel left, I returned to my room. For a few hours, I tried to do a little research on what had happened during the time I couldn’t remember, but nothing came out of it. I planned to talk to Jaz but decided it could wait until the next day.Jaz returned to the hotel room, half asleep. It had been just after seven when she returned. When I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep, I wrote a note to inform Jaz I wanted to take a walk. I added that I might go to the bar to get something to eat.Sticking it to her door, I left the room quietly. As soon as I was outside, I took a deep breath. The wind was crisp with a scent that reminded me of snow. Shoving my hands into the pockets of my coat, I wondered if it was going to snow tonight.With no real direction, I walked absentmindedly. I tried to gather my thoughts, but it was as if my brain had been fried. Maybe I just needed to stop worrying about things and let myself relax for a change. Stressing about everything wasn’t helping m

    Stormie-After taking on each man in a fight, I thought I was winning. I don’t know how I picked up such fighting skills, but I was not complaining. Now, I needed to find my ticket away from them. Even if I was able to keep them at bay, I was still outnumbered.As long as they don’t attack simultaneously, I should be able to hold them back while I plan my escape. My thoughts came too soon, however, because suddenly, three of the men came at me. I wasn’t able to dodge all three of them.One came at me from the front while the other two grabbed my arms. Using them for leverage, I kicked both legs up, nailing the man in front, in the chin. He was thrown onto his back, hard enough that he let out a wheezing breath.“I will make you pay for that!” The man I kicked growled as he slowly got off the ground.When he came at me again, I used the same tactic and swung my legs up. This time, he caught my legs as another man came to help. No matter how hard I tried to pull away from them, I was po

    Axel- This felt surreal. I hoped Stormie would one day return to my side, but I started to doubt the day would come. Now that her memories have returned, I hoped our luck would continue flourishing. “Get everything prepared. My Luna has returned.” I called Breck after I helped Stormie into the Jeep. After hanging up the phone before he could question anything, I rushed around the vehicle to get in. Reality sunk in when I pulled the Jeep out of the parking lot. Although I was happy about Stormie, there were still pressing matters to deal with. When I received Stormie’s call and found out she was in danger, I rushed over. My father was still in critical condition, but Stormie’s safety had taken precedence. I couldn’t do anything to help my father, but I could help her. “By the way, Stormie,” Jasmine spoke from the back seat. “I am sorry for deceiving you.” “Don’t worry about that. I am happy that you have been by my side. If not for you, I would have fallen for Landon’s schemes.” S

    Stormie-“Are you almost ready?” Jasmine knocked on the door to the temporary room Axel and I were staying in.“Almost.” I finished cinching my waist.I didn’t know why I had to wear a dress or what was happening today. I just knew that after spending three days at the hospital caring for Axel’s father, I was sent home to get changed. A gorgeous aqua-colored dress was in a large black box on the bed, with jewelry and shoes to go with it.The maids offered to help me get dressed, but even if I had my memory back, being a pampered princess wasn’t familiar. As I struggled to tighten the corset on the dress that was more fitting as a ballgown, I regretted not asking for help.“Why must I wear this? It almost feels like I am getting married secretly.” I almost laughed at my joke but stopped when I wondered if that was what I was doing. “Wait, this isn’t a wedding, is it?”“No.” Jasmine chuckled from the other side of the door. “Alpha just wants to surprise you with something. Everyone has

    Axel-I stood on the sidelines as I watched everything unfold. After my parents were finished, members approached Stormie, one at a time. A few members who should have apologized to Stormie were no longer around. After learning the truth, they stuck to Misty and refused to give Stormie the time of day.There had been fifteen in total. It was a large number of members to kick out all at once, but I would no longer tolerate anyone harming Stormie. Since they refused to accept my mate, they were no longer welcome in our Pack.“What do you want to do about Landon and Misty?” Breck asked as he stepped next to me.“Any news about them yet?” I didn’t take my eyes off Stormie.“We have a few leads but nothing concrete yet. I believe they are traveling together. The few times we have encountered something, it looked like a rookie mistake. Misty is more than likely holding Landon back, and he is backtracking to clean up their trail.” Dominic joined us.“Don’t stop until they are found. If we ne

    Landon-“This way!” I yelled as I dragged Misty through the alley.I was tempted to leave her behind since it was her fault that Axel’s men had caught up with us. If I had stuck to myself, I wouldn’t be constantly running. When we fled, I thought it would be better to keep her with me so we could find a way to trick Axel.“What will we do if they catch us?” Misty’s whining voice irritated me to no end.“If you don’t listen to me, I will leave you behind and try a different way. The only reason I am keeping you with me is because I still think you are useful. If I need to choose between me and you, I will leave you behind to distract them while I get away.”Dodging around a dumpster that rolled into the middle of the alley, I let go of her wrist. It will be her fault if she can’t keep up. Without her dragging down my speed, I ran faster. If it weren’t for the fact that I had been shot with a dart, I could have gotten away.The dart itself wasn’t the reason I was losing strength. It was

    Stormie-“Are you sure we can’t celebrate together?” Axel leaned against me, pinning me against the wall.“I might not be a traditional type of person, but for once in my life, I want to do things the way they are supposed to. I agreed that we would celebrate at the same place. You will be down the hall, so I won’t be in danger. Besides, Jasmine is with me.”Tilting my head back to look at him, I reached up to press a kiss against his chin. His right arm moved above my head on the wall while his other grabbed my chin before roughly kissing me. The kiss ended too soon.“Tomorrow, you will be officially my wife.” Axel’s voice was husky and slightly breathless.“I can’t wait.” Spreading my hands over his chest, I was more excited about our wedding night.“Alright, you two.” Jasmine pulled me away from Axel. “Save it for the honeymoon. Tonight, we are single ladies who are going to enjoy ourselves.”“Just remember you aren’t too single.” Axel smirked.“Yeah. Yeah.” Jasmine snorted as she

    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
