Chapter 59

Aiden

Nothing wakes me up faster than a sudden mind link from my Beta. Anything could be happening: a rogue attack, an invasion… so many things to worry about. This one though makes my heart pound harder than when I go into battle.

‘Zoey’s awake! Come quickly! Something’s wrong so please hurry!‘ Peter’s voice is urgent and fast. hurry out the door but not before alerting Daisy. She rushes after me and shoots me a look before I can even say anything.

Even though Olivia made Daisy come back home to sleep, she stayed on the couch and didn’t move from that spot. She knows it’s not good for her but her worry for Samuel and Skylar makes her irrational. I don’t blame her at all. I just hope this will shed some light on the situation at hand.

As we arrive at the house where Zoey’s staying, I feel a wave of anxiety coming on. Peter sounded very worried when he called us all here. What could be going on with Zoey? She’s awake so isn’t that a good thing? As I look over to my mate, I can tell she’s thinking the same thing I am

I take her hand and squeeze it gently. Daisy looks at me her eyes bloodshot from not sleeping well. “Stay positive,” I murmur gently. I’m telling myself this more than anything. She gives me a small nod and we head inside.

As we do, I hear a familiar voice coming from the living room. Looking inside, I blink seeing Zoey up and about with a cheerful smile. She hasn’t smied so brightly in many years, so it’s odd to see her like this. My anxiety only grows. She’s hugging little Ebony who looks stiff and confused. “You’re so big now! But I know you’re my pup!”

Confused by what she’s said, I look over at Olivia and my Beta. Both have a grim look on their faces. My heart sinks as I have a bad feeling about this. “What’s going on?” I ask deciding to hurry this along.

Peter watches mother and child with a frown. “… She believes she’s back five years in the past.” He says and looks at me. “She has no memory of what happened. I don’t know if it’s temporary or…” he trails off and sighs a frustrated look on his face.

I stare at him not knowing what to say. Is our one and only lead… all for not? I feel Daisy let go of my hand but I just search Peter’s face for any sort of answer. Why won’t he meet my eyes? Why does it seem like he’s guilty of something?

Before I can ask what he’s so guilty about, Ebony’s small voice speaks up. “M–mama… I–I’m not small anymore… I’m seven… almost eight.” I break my stare and look over to her and Zoey. “B–but… you saw the monster who took Sky so please… please help him…” tears come to her dark eyes.

Zoey only looks confused by this. “I don’t understand… I don’t remember anything like that… you were just two yesterday!” She pats the top of her daughter’s head and frowns as she starts to cry. “Ebony…” she hugs her close and shakes her head. “I’m sorry, baby girl…”

Ebony sobs and hugs her back. “I–I want Sky home! H–he protected me… I need him back!” I never knew how much the poor girl was struggling. My heart breaks seeing how broken up she is about this. Skylar must mean everything to her just as he does to Daisy and me.

Daisy walks over and kneels to pat her head. I know she’s shaken by the news but she’s a natural mother too. When Zoey was unconscious, Daisy used all the energy she used for Skylar on Ebony instead. She played her mother well enough to get them both through it even if it wasn’t perfectly.

I step back so I’m standing next to Peter. As his scent reaches me, I’m taken aback by how much of Zoey’s scent is on him. I look at him. “What happened, man?” I ask him. He still won’t meet my eyes. “What did you do? You rarely look guilty over anything so tell me.”

Peter swallows hard and looks out the window. “I… I came here to sit with her when she woke up… last night.” He admits. “She was acting so loving and sweet towards me… I was so happy she was awake too. So I…” he frowns deeply. “I…”

Zoey woke up last night and Peter didn’t tell anyone? I look back to Zoey and catch sight of something that wasn’t there before. On her neck is a bite mark… no way… I look back to my friend. “You didn’t…”

Peter sighs and rubs the back of his neck. “We were talking about it before so… I acted rashly…” his tone sounds off but he conues. “Zoey’s my chosen mate… I made it official last night… I was just caught in the moment and my emotions and…”

Before I can react, a flash of white appears in front of him. The next moment, Peter is falling back and slams against a wall. He grimaces and holds his bruised cheek while Daisy stands there her hand in a fist. “You b*st*rd!” She snarls low.

MOIT

Chapter 59

I’ve never seen her this angry before. Daisy rushes forward again and I barely manage to grab and stop her “Let me go!” the caps “That to pla “ssh’l‘ a piece of my mind! How dare you!” What the hell?!

Ebony lets out a scared whimper while Zoey hurries forward and places a hand on Peter’s check. “Are you ok?” she hasn’tacted like this tomates a long time so I feel dazed. She then turns on us and growls. “What’s your problem?! Don’t touch my mate like that! Are you crazy of something is

Daisy glares before she lets out a small laugh. She relaxes so I let her go cautiously, “Ho… I’m perfectly sane. The one who’s crazy is him the prints to Peter who only narrows his eyes. “Live in regret, b’st*rd. Because you’ll come to regret what you’ve done to him.” She turns away. And hope he neres forgives you.”

With that Daisy storms out. Zoey lets out a growl and then turns to look at Peter’s bruised face. Seeing them interact like this seems weird to me. I feel someone tug the bottom of my shirt and look down.

Ebony is still whimpering her eyes holding a haunted look while she stays close to me. The violence and anger must have triggered some trauma in her f pick her up and hug her gently. “Shh… it’s ok little one.” I murmur gently and try to be a comforting presence for her.

While I wanted to follow Daisy, I needed to get a report of Olivia. I motion her over to me. “Is there anything that can be done about this? 1 ask her is this a permanent thing or will her memories come back in time?”

Olivia lets out a soft sigh. “I honestly don’t know. Injuries like Zoey’s are tricky… but I need to talk to the other pack doctors and see what I can do. I think Royal Pack’s doctor can help me most so can you ask the Alpha King for help?”

I grimace as I was hoping for better news but nod. “Of course. I hope this can be fixed sooner rather than later.” Who knows what Skylar is going through right now? I won’t even think the worst right now as I need some hope now.

Olivia nods and watches the two so–called lovebirds. “What do you think set Daisy off?” She then frowns and seems to have something click in her mind. As I look at Peter, I can’t help but wonder what my friend has done to need forgiveness so badly and why Daisy believes he doesn’t deserve it.
