“It would be so selfish of me to hold you back or to ask you to stay for a little while longer. I want the best for you, and I know the best would never be here, but I… I'm going to miss you so much,” Loana whimpered as the two of us held onto one another. I couldn't believe that this was about to happen. I was about to leave everything behind and start a new life. This was what I wanted. This was what would make me breathe again, but I had never known that saying goodbye to Loana would be that painful. There was something common between me before my amnesia and me after my amnesia. The two of us wanted to escape. The two of us strived for freedom and were ready to face any obstacle just to have it. Apparently, I had been saving money ever since I was thirteen and during those years, I managed to save a good amount to support myself for a month abroad. Despite how cruel my family was with me, they used to give me money, not a lot of course, but enough to get myself some clot

“This table is going to be the death of me.” I rolled my eyes as I set my empty tray in front of Delora, earning a light chuckle from her. “Like can't they just behave!?” I hissed, trying to clean my apron. The guy was literally eating the girl’s face, causing her to randomly move her hands around, ending up spilling the glasses I had on the tray on me.   “I don’t mind people showing affection in public, but this is too much.” She let out a small giggle,  placing two lattes on my tray. “Good thing the manager pointed out that this was a family place. Take these to table five,” she instructs me. So much had changed during the past few years. I hadn't set a foot in America in four years, and not once had I regretted my decision. Living in Peru is one of the best things that had happened to me. Life here is way simpler than what I had endured in America. Yes, I missed Loana, but that wasn’t enough to make me go back. I talked to her regularly, but I couldn’t b

I had been running for thirty minutes and the anger in me hadn't subsided. It hadn't subsided during the past four years and I didn't know how to put an end to it. My chest was burning with fire. I ignited it a long time ago and I didn't know how to put it down. The people in my pack thought I'd have gotten used to her absence by now, but that didn't happen. Each day I woke up and hoped I'd find her with me, telling me that the nightmare was finally over and she would never leave my side. There were mistakes that one could never recover from and rejecting my unforgettable mate, Ayla, was one of them.I was breathing, but I wasn't living. I didn't know how to live after Loana told me that my mate left. I tried to get in contact with Loana again, asking her to tell me if she had learned anything about Ayla’s whereabouts, but nothing worked. I searched everywhere in America. I asked every pack about her, yet I couldn't find her, she was too good at hiding.As I ran

“You found her? Jorah, you're not joking, right?” I jolted out of bed upon hearing what I had just been told. He saw Ayla and he was about to meet her. This all felt like a dream. I searched everywhere in the USA, yet my mate was so fed up with everyone around her and left the entire continent. “Xander, I need you to think rationally. She's really mad at us and I don't know how this meeting will go, but I just thought you should know,” Jorah spoke. “I'm coming to Peru. I will meet her and I will tell her everything. I will fix what I broke. I will do anything to get her back.” I was already in my closet, throwing different clothes in my suitcase. I wasn't going to waste any more time. Four years had been wasted from my life and I wasn't going to waste one more minute. “Listen, Xander. Let me just meet her and I will tell you how things will go. Don't do anything reckless. If you want to come, that's fine. Just don't surprise her and show up out of the blue in

I pushed myself towards them and for a moment, I thought I forgot how to talk. I thought that after four years, I would feel nothing if I met any of them, especially him, but I was so wrong.“I thought… I thought I told you I don’t want to be found.” I loathed how weak my voice was when I spoke to Jorah.“I’m sorry, but I had to do it.” He gave me an apologetic smile and walked away with his mate, leaving me all alone with Xander and Rowena.I looked at Rowena and gulped, taking a look at the little girl in her arms. “Are you a mother now?” I asked in a low voice.“I am… I would have told you, but you decided that I’m unworthy of your friendship and you cast me away.” I internally winced at her choice of words. No, she was worth it. She had been kind to me since day one. She had always been worth it, but I was scared.“It’s not like that,” I murmured,
