“How could all of this be inside my mind? I didn’t think such small children could remember so much.”
Anja chuckles from beside me. “Shifter children remember a lot from when they were children. But one as small as you are here, they’re repressed memories.”
I nod my head as if I know what Anja means when I don’t.
She laughs again. “Everything that happens in our lives is stored up here,” She points to her head at the temple. “Nothing is ever really forgotten, just pushed aside.”
Huh, that’s one way to look at things.
“Anja, why am I seeing but not remembering?”
“I think perhaps I took you back a little too far. There will be something that triggers things for you, Sara; we just hav
“Sara,” I grab Sara’s arm, stopping her from running any further. “Where the hell are you going?”Mum called me into the living room as soon as she and Sara were free from Sara’s mind. When I entered the room, Sara was staring into space.Mum explained that Sara had remembered everything and perhaps was in shock.That was blatantly evident from the look on my mate’s face!Having to wait outside while Mum did her thing did not sit well with me. I wanted to be with Sara, but Mum advised against it. She said that Sara needed to do this alone, and I understood that. It didn’t make waiting easy, though.When I crouched down in front of Sara, I touched her face. But she didn’t even flinch, and I was worried that Sara had reverted into herself.
As Bastian holds me close, I sigh with contentment. I never realised how happy I would feel once I let Bastian in.All the time I’ve been here, I have been too scared to hear Bastian out. There’s no point wishing I had now; nothing can change what’s been and gone. All I can do now is move forward with my brother in my life.“I’ve missed you,” I mumble. “I’ve really missed you.”It sounds strange to say that when I didn’t remember anything until half an hour ago. However, now that I do remember, I know that I’ve missed my brother.“I’ve missed you, too. You will never know how much I have missed you, Stella.”I won’t tell Bastian just yet that I don’t think I could get used to being called Stella. That&rsquo
I clutch the edge of Orrin Dalgaard’s desk and suck in a deep breath.How could this have happened?All these years, I never knew what happened to my daughter. Now I find out that my once best friend wiped my mind.It hadn’t been for Anja and her ability to bring back a person’s memories, Jethro and I would still be in the dark.When Anja, the woman who has been my close friend since we met over twenty-five years ago, said that she could help me, I was sceptical.However, Jethro immediately said yes. My mate wanted to know what memories had been taken from us.So, Anja did her thing. Now here I am, trying to get my head around everything I’ve seen.“Faye?” Jethro squeezes my shoulder, trying to comfort
Hearing Faye saying that Paul was her brother shook me.Wasn’t it bad enough thinking that a stranger took her child?Now Faye finds out that it was her brother and his mate?It’s no wonder she needed Jethro to hold her for a moment before making her way to Jill’s cell.When Bastian and I arrived here, Orrin was waiting with a witch friend of the family. Jill immediately started screaming. Though Jill couldn’t move or speak due to being frozen to stop Jody from doing what she needed to do, she continued to scream.Jody cast a spell over Jill, binding her powers, rendering her unable to perform magic again. Jill can’t hurt anyone ever again.Orrin also told me that it would be my choice if Jill and Paul lived or died.
“Better?” I ask Sara as we sit beside the lake.“Much.” Sara breathes deeply.The air is cool and fresh, and I find it does one a world of good.“I’m sorry that I wasn’t with you; my father forbade me from entering the dungeon.”“Yet you did anyway,” Sara chuckles.I nod. “I had to; you were going to kill someone if I hadn’t stopped you.”Sara crosses her legs then hangs her head while biting her lower lip. “I’m so sorry; I didn’t realise what I was doing. Anger took over me,”With my fingertips under Sara’s chin, I tip her head up. “Your power is growing, Sara. We need to get you some help with controlling it.”
After fucking Sara in the shower twice, it’s safe to say that I’m late. My father won’t be pleased that it took me almost an hour; when I said ten minutes, but tough shit.He calls for me to enter when I knock on the door.My eyes narrow when I walk in and close the door behind me.What the hell is Yanlin doing here?“What’s going on?”Dad raises his eyebrow at me. “First off, where the fuck have you been? Actually, don’t answer that; I can smell it all over you.”I roll my eyes.“Why didn’t you tell me you fucked up this bad?”“Excuse me?” I don’t understand.“Yanlin here has been
“Sara, wait!”“Leave me alone!” I scream while walking faster away from the mansion.I cannot fucking believe this shit!How could Leander not tell me that he’s expecting a child with someone else?Okay, it’s evident that it happened before I came along. But that doesn’t make it any easier to cope with.Lilly told me how wolves are passionate creatures, and most don’t wait for their mates before having sex. But almost all will not have children with anyone other than their mate.Not mine, though, no, mine had to go knock someone up who wasn’t me!I feel so hurt, and I don’t know how to cope with it all.I want to cry and scream and beat the shit ou
Something doesn’t ring true.I am the King of all wolves, and I can’t sense if the baby Yanlin is carrying is my son’s?No, that’s not right.I believed Leander when he said the kid couldn’t be is. There’s no way he’d lie to me; he’d have no reason to because Leander has never been a liar.If that’s the case, why did Yanlin swear up and down that Leander is the father?The girl has always had a thing for my son, and she never made a secret of that fact. Leander stupidly started a relationship of some sort with Yanlin, and she believed they would be together forever.I had to intervene when their relationship came to an end. Though Leander had let Sterling free, it didn’t seem to scare Yanlin enough to stop what
