Chapter 37: Memories Of The Past

Alaric’s POV

Two hours of agony passed by, in what felt like a decade as those flashes of the accident kept flooding my mind. Her small body lying lifeless on my arms, I had never felt so useless in my life. I should have been the one to protect her, keep her safe for I knew she meant so much to me. No, she had crept in slowly in my heart and she meant the world to me now. I could not take it if anything happened to her. I was a mess. Fear, anger, anguish and most of all, heartbreak, as I watched the operating room’s lights still on. How long had it been since I felt such complex emotions? And for a woman to add to the matter. But for her, and with her, anything was possible.

"You have to be fine, stupid woman, else I won’t forgive you." I murmured to myself taking slow steps towards the operating room door. I desperately wanted to see her, be by her side every single moment and make she sure stayed alive.

"Brother, you can’t go in." Finn who had just arrived held my shoulder.

"It’s been too long and I want to see her. Now!" If I didn’t, I was sure I would lose it in no time and kill everyone in that hospital. My patience was limited for everyone else.

Finn did not withdraw his hand from my shoulder making my anger rise, rushing down to every nerve in my body. In a flash, I was already holding him by the neck my eyes emitting danger mixed with pain that drove me insane to want to snap the person who did this to her. Something inside me was rising up rapidly and it only made me angrier with every passing minute.

"If you kill...me then what about the...one who tried to kill her?" His voice was choked but I could still hear him clearly.

My grip tightened on his neck as my eyes changed to red. "Where?" I wanted to torture the hell out of that person till they wished they never existed. How dare they hurt my people, precisely my woman.

I dropped Finn down but the anger and blood thirst in me did not go away, and the fangs started protruding slowly.

"We caught him and we learnt he was sent by..." Finn paused which only intensified the anger rising inside me. "Nyssa, your former secretary."

I went silent for a moment trying to remember who she was. "Wasn’t she sent back weeks ago?" I had that woman taken somewhere out of this world the first day she dared mess with Ravenna. At that time, I thought it was because I disliked obsessed bitches like her but now, I knew my protectiveness for Ravenna started long back than I could ever imagine. "How did she come back?"

"No one knows. But we managed to get her and she’s in the basement with Zander."

"I’ll make her regret ever messing with my woman." I could not wait to get my hands on her. Death would be too easy for her. I wouldgive her a lifetime of suffering and still not grant her death. Not until I wanted her dead.

"Your woman? It’s only been one day and..." I shot him a glare and he went quiet for a moment. "There’s something else you need to know." I could detect the seriousness in his voice so I gestured him to go on. "It’s about Ravenna’s identity."

That caught my attention. "What is it?"

"Zander and I found out something that we hid from you because we thought you might actually rashly when you get to know about it." He paused taking a deep breath then continued. I could guess from his face that whatever it was, it wasn’t something pleasing. "Ravenna is from...Silver Pack."

...from Silver Pack... from Silver Pack... That statement kept echoing in my mind. That was not possible. It was impossible. "She’s human." I stated my voice filled with an unknown restrain and a bit of disbelief.

"That’s why she is not there. When she turned eighteen, she failed to receive her wolf and was ousted from the pack."

"How’s that possible? This might be another plan to attack us." My mind was filled with doubts and many possibilities that I could not outright. The crazy, noisy girl, yet loved by all was actually one of the descendants of the people I loathed with all my being. The person I had grown attached to for the first time in centuries was supposed to be my enemy.

"That’s not all." I felt every ounce of emotion in me go cold as I clenched my fist. "She’s Alpha Derek’s daughter."

That broke my last hope for her. I felt pain, pain that I had long forgotten over the centuries. It was even greater than what I felt when I thought of her dying. I had questions only she could answer. If all this was their plan? If whatever feelings she had for me were also a part of their plan? My head, heart and soul were in chaos that I felt like fire of rage and pain would erupt in me. Everything happened too fast and I was confused like never before.

"What do you think? Is she trustworthy?" I wanted to hear what Finn had to say. He had spent more time with her so he definitely knew what was true and lie.

"You should ask yourself that. Is she trustworthy?" I wanted to trust her. Her bright, innocent and clear eyes flashed in my mind clearing every doubt I had. "Was all her affection a façade? To me, she is the best thing in a long time to ever happen to us, to you. I trust her."

I went quiet for a moment then punched the wall making a crack. "She must answer me. I’ll make sure she survives even if I have to bring her from the dead."

The operating room lights went off and the surgeon came out with an unfathomable look. I stared back at him waiting for answers.

"She’s fine, but..." The doctor sighed then continued. "Her head injury is somehow a mystery for now. The last time you brought her here, Mr. Finn, she developed amnesia and this time, it might either get worse or better her lost memories will return." There was a moment of quiet after the doctor left.

"Her amnesia is not faked. At least we are sure of that." Finn spoke up. "Does her identity change the love you feel for her?"

As a matter of fact, it didn’t. I just felt a little bit reluctant to accept that she is part of that damned place. Only after she woke up would everything be solved. Hopefully, her memory would regain.

"I never told you I love her." I was not even sure if what I felt for her was the so-called love. Though it was different from any other emotion I had experienced in the last few centuries, I could not yet fall deep into it until I was sure she was trustworthy.

"You don’t have to, I could see it from your eyes. You were worried about her."

"Shut up." I dismissed that topic not willing to talk about my feelings with anyone, not even my brother whom I trusted most.

***********

Inside the operating room, Ravenna was lying on a stretcher about to be transported to a regular ward. Her eyes fluttered but did not open as memories of the past filled her mind, hitting her like a tidal wave, overwhelming and unrelenting. The truth unravelled slowly, each fragment crawling at her heart, dredging up emotions she was not ready to face.
