Gabriella’s POV
“I talked with many parents and encouraged many children that I will not let harm come to any of them again as long as I am alive. With or without my memories, I am ready to do anything. I guess that is the reason I have the crescent mark and the strength as well.
“Let’s eat some roadside meat; they are your favorite,” he said, holding my hand, and I went with him to the spot. I never knew I loved eating roadside meat.
“Open your mouth, my love,” he said with care, and I opened my mouth. He fed me the meat, and I chewed it gradually. I closed my eyes, with a happy expression on my face. This is really good, I must say.
“You like it?”
“Like is an understatement; I love it so much,” I said, asking for more, and he got more for us as we took our seats to eat them.
“Gabby, I am really thankful to the Moon Goddess that I have you in my life. I would be incomplete without you.” He winked at me, and I smiled, saying, “I am happy to hear you say such sweet words to me; I owe you a lot.”
“Can you promise me something?” He said, sounding so serious, and I nodded my head, willing to listen to whatever he had to say. I know I am good at keeping my promises, even if I don’t remember everything about my traits.
“Promise me you will never listen to an outsider; most of them are working for Alpha Nicklaus, and he is aware you are suffering from memory loss.”
“Really? But how?”
“News spreads like wildfire these days, so it’s very easy to know,” he added, and I gave him my word. “I will not listen to anyone else except for you, be it the person from within the pack or outside the pack. I will trust only you, and I will put in more effort to regain my memory.”
“I feel so happy to hear that; what a relief,” he said with a smile. And when he tried to kiss me, I don’t know what came over me; I declined immediately.
“I am sorry; I didn’t mean to,” I said to him, feeling so sorry about what I just did.
“You don’t have to be sorry. I should be the one saying sorry because I am rushing things, and you are yet to remember the lovely memories we shared together as well.”
Oh no, what have I done? He is my beloved, and kissing him should not be a big deal. Why can’t I just do it?
“It’s just that you love it when I try to always kiss you. You once told me that kissing you in public makes you feel special, and I am not ashamed of you.” Nate is such a gentleman. I guess now I understand why I fell in love with him, and my wolf also chose him as well.
“But there is something that is still not right. I feel like crying all the time for no specific reason. Did I lose someone who is dear to me? I doubt that. If I did lose someone, then he would have told me about it. But seeing the way things are right now, I am certain I must be missing someone. But who is the person?
“Gabby!! Gabby!!” He tapped me, and I turned, saying, “Sorry, did you say something?”
“You seem so carried away. Tell me, did you remember anything about your memory?”
“Not at all.”
“Okay, but please, do tell me when you remember anything or find anything confusing. I am willing to help you because it’s my responsibility.”
“Sure, I will tell you immediately.”
“Okay, you seemed tired. Do you want me to take you home? Besides, you have tried for today. We can continue tomorrow, so I won’t stress your thinking.” He stood on his feet.
“No, I am okay for real. I am not tired. I just felt like something is missing, like I am missing someone so dear to me, and it feels like I am going to cry soon.”
“It is just a little confusion because you are getting your memories back.”
“Can we take a little walk? I would love to get a glimpse of what is happening over there.” I just pointed my fingers to a place I thought might be interesting so I can avoid going home so soon. There is nothing to be done at home, and I don’t wish to sleep either.
“Okay, as you wish, my queen. I believe you want to get a painting home, right?”
“Oh yes, I think so.” I smiled, trying to blend with the whole thing.
We stood on our feet and headed to the spot where the store is, and I saw so much beautiful creativity of art. This is so beautiful. I mean, the artist is exceptionally good and truly inspired as well.
“Greetings, Alpha Nate and Luna Gabriella.” He bowed his head, and I whispered to Nate, “I thought no one would know us here since we are here to act like regular people.”
He also whispered to my ear, saying, “That’s because we didn’t come with our disguise clothes.”
“Oh, I see now.”
The artist kept looking at us. I cleared my throat and started pointing at some of the artworks that were displayed. He took his time to tell me the theme of each and what actually inspired him to paint it.
I tried to delay time, but after a call Nate received, he said to me, “It’s time to go home.”
“Okay, hope to see your beautiful works again. I will go with this.” I pointed, and when I checked my purse, it was empty. Nate smiled and made the payment before we took our leave. He said to me in the car, “Tell me anything you want, and I will pay for it at once.” I nodded with a brief smile on my face.
He had to attend to some issues, and I was all alone in the room. Later in the evening, he joined me. He rushed to me, looking so cold, like a beast, and forced his way to kiss me.
