Millicent's POV
Things did not get any better in terms of my relationship with Christopher. He treated me like a polite stranger would another and it was slowly killing me. Especially when he would smile sweetly at Wendy and give some little affectionate touches.
Once my eyes made contact with Sylvester and I could see the pity in his eyes. It was just too much, I ran out of the room to my own and slammed the door.
Samantha was on my heels. 'Millicent pull yourself together! If your mate bond is as strong as you claimed, he will soon remember you and come crawling back into your arms and your bed!' she said, hoping to bring a smile to my lips but I was not so sure anymore.
'Wendy is weaving her magic around him and he seem to want to be with only her. I can't wait to see her gone from the Moon Ville Pack and out of our lives permanently!' I exclaimed.
'I wish I could say that she is just helping him recover', Samantha said slowly. 'but I have seen the way she looks at him and from the scratches of information I've heard, it seems they have met before, when he was at the borders and they were more than just friends'.
'But if he can remember her, then why can't he remember me?' I wailed. 'We met recently and he's supposed to recall the most recent events, isn't he?'
'It depends. The mind is a funny organ. It selects the memory it wishes to remember and the one it wishes not to', Samantha said and when she saw the distress on my features, hastened to add, 'Not that I am saying he has regained his memory of course or that he has forgotten you permanently'. Then she said as an afterthought, 'I feel that Wendy is trying to make Christopher fall in love with her. I hope that by the time he regains his memory, it will not be too late for you and he to get back together. Because if he falls in love with her before he recovers, there will be complications...'
' Don't you think I know that?' I wailed. I am powerless and it is killing me to see another woman taking my mate away from me, right under my nose! What do you suggest I do?' I asked, feeling desperate.
'Try doing any of those things you did in the past that made you unique to Christopher. It might help jog his memory. You have to be smart!'
'But she said it could be detrimental to his health, trying to jog his memory, that is!' I whispered.
'Detrimental my foot!' Samantha swore. 'I feel she said that to have more time to get Christopher to fall in love with her. Is she not doing the same with Christopher? Reminding him of their past? How she saved him previously? You said so yourself that you heard her saying that to Christopher. What other evidence do you need that she is not what she appears to be? Though, I must tell you, she is a dangerous person! I sense evil in her!'
Sigh!
I placed my hands on my laps, wringing them like I was squeezing water from a cloth. I did that whenever I was confused or nervous and right now, I was very confused.
We were still deliberating on the next course of action when I got a letter.
Who could possibly wrote to me? I thought, as I tore open the envelope.
It was from Raph. What a welcome surprise. It read....
'Dear Millicent,
I hope this letter meets you well. The news of how the battle against the Moon Ville Pack ended has reached us.
I hope you were not wounded in any way? The talk of your bravery has been ringing on everyone's lips.
Mummy Cara sends her greetings and says to remind you that there are things you still need to know about your past and possibly your present as well, whatever that is!
Hugh and baby send their love and aunt Mildred said to say hi!
I have a lot to tell you as well. You were right about something you told me in the past.
Hoping to see you soon, sweetheart,
Raph.
How could I have forgotten to visit them since the war ended?
'Who is it from? Samantha asked.
'From some friends in the Moonlight pack. They are wondering why I have not visited them yet'.
'But you cannot blame yourself for that, nor allow anyone else to, for that matter. Things have been pretty rough down here since then!' Samantha said.
'They are not blaming, just reminding me and you know what? They are right. I need to go see them. There are alot of things that I need to find out!'
'Are you sure this is a good time to visit them? I mean when a strange witch, determined to take your love from you is with him at all hours of the day?'
'What has my presence here accomplished anyways? If she wants to take him in his state, there's nothing I can do to prevent that short of forcing his memory on him and that is impossible', I said sadly. 'I am very happy, Raph thought to write. I shall visit them and find out all that I need to know about my birth pack'.
'When will you leave?' Samantha asked.
'Tomorrow morning '.
'Then I'd better prepare to go with you', she said.
'That will not be necessary!' I said emphatically. 'You shall remain here and be my ears and eyes. I shall be back very soon. But this is something I must do!'
'Aren't you afraid you might be attacked by the pack members for your part in destroying their Alpha? It is risky going there now without an escort!'
'They should be happy I relieved them off such an evil Alpha', I said. 'but you're right. I shall be careful to disguise myself because like I said, this is something I must do!'
That night, I could not sleep. Alot of thoughts crowded my mind. Was it ever going to be possible for Christopher and I to get back together? What if he never recovers his memory, or the witch sees to it the he does just for her own selfish benefit? What is this thing that I do not know about that mum Cara wanted to tell me about? Was it concerning my mates? Sylvester has been kind and considerate towards me and I know what he wants. The both of us know that it is impossible now that Christopher was awake and I hope that he accepts it like he promised, when we thought Alpha Christopher was gone forever!
I finally fell into a troubled sleep in the early hours of the morning.
