Amaris slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the ceiling then rolled her eyes to see the surroundings. She didn't recognize the place, but she was sure she was in a bedroom.
She felt a throbbing pain in her temple and rubbed it with her hands. She took a deep breath then tried her best to at least sit on the bed.
She looked around and saw that the room was pure white with a modern interior. It was simple yet elegant. A sitting area was on the left side, a few steps away from the bed, right beside three full-sized windows.
The white vanity mirror with a gold accent was on the right side of the bed and a door, which Amaris thought was the bathroom, was on the right corner of the room.
In front of the bed was a consultable with two vases of fresh flowers on top of it and a huge mirror with flower designs surrounding it.
The door opened and her cousin, Maxine, stepped inside together with Zoila.
"Finally, you're awake!" Maxine exclaimed.
"W-What happened?" She asked.
"The boy who bit you had this poison in his fangs called Dream Torment. He was also the one who healed you. And we found out that the kids were Diana's children, so Damien took the girl so she could take him to his sister." Zoila explained.
She nodded. She couldn't think clearly for now. Her mind felt drained, and she couldn't think of anything.
"Here. We bought some tea and a light meal. Zion was worried since you were unconscious for two days now." Maxine said.
Amaris frowned. "Zion? The Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack? Zoila's brother? Why was he worried about me?"
Maxine glanced at Zoila. Amaris was asleep for two days after getting bitten by Daniel. They forgot that she wouldn't remember Zion once she woke up.
Zoila sighed and, without a word, walked out of the bedroom. Maxine knew that Amaris' condition also hurt Zoila. It was her brother who was being forgotten over and over; it's only natural that she would be affected.
"Ari, can't you do something about your memory? I mean, you are the Luna of the Blue Moon Pack. Zion is your mate. You've been together for months now. Think about his feelings and those around you whenever you wake up forgetting him. You're a powerful hybrid, and as far as I know, you are the only one of your kind. You should have at least the power to break your mother's curse." Maxine scolded her.
Amaris didn't say a word. She couldn't remember being with Zion for the past few months, and she had no memory of being his mate or Luna. But thinking about forgetting him was making her heart hurt so much.
She held her hand on the chest and gasped for air. It was heartbreaking, and at the same time, her head throbbed from pain.
Maxine sighed. She pitied both Zion and her cousin. They loved each other but fate decided to break them apart repeatedly. She admired Zion for loving a woman who forgets him every day. How she wished she also had someone like him.
After Amaris calmed down, Maxine smiled and left her cousin. She went to the garden and sat under a tree. Trees surrounded the Fae's territory, and you could hear the sound of the river nearby. The birds from the woods and some animals were dashing around the area.
She was startled when she heard someone from behind. She already knew that it was Cole, so she didn't bother to look.
"I'm worried about Ari." Maxine sighed.
"Ah. She forgot again." Cole said before sitting beside her.
Maxine nodded and pouted.
"The Moon Goddess was a bitch. How could she do that to her own daughter? She fell in love with a demon prince. Why can't she just be happy with her daughter loving a werewolf?" She ranted.
Cole chuckled. The girl really amused him most of the time. She was a brat and loud, but she loved her cousin and cared deeply for those around her.
"That's what I like about you. You always say what's on your mind." He smiled.
Maxine turned to him and frowned. Did he say that he liked her, or he just liked her personality? She thought to herself. She suddenly felt awkward when they stared at each other for a few minutes.
"If you don't say what was in your head, you might go crazy. So I'd rather be honest than be a pretentious little liar." Maxine answered while turning her gaze away from Cole.
Did her heart skip a beat? That can't be. She thought inwardly. Cole was a nice guy. He's good-looking and well-built. Any girl will fall from his charm, but Maxine knew that werewolves had a mate given by their goddess, and she didn't want to interfere with someone's fate.
"Well, Diana will be here before sundown, so I think she would be able to help our Luna." Cole said.
He just said he liked her, but she didn't have any reaction. Did he say it wrong? Are Terrans have another way of confessing to someone? Cole thought to himself.
Cole was still single because his mate was killed even before they met each other. He never marked her, and the mating was never completed. But he felt the pain when his mate died, and no one knew about it, even his Alpha.
It happened a long time ago. He was in the woods outside their territory when he smelled her scent. But it was too late. She was already dead when he found her. She was killed by some night howlers.
Cole didn't want to have another mate after that incident. He was scared, but he suddenly wanted to have a woman beside him when he met Maxine.
Maxine sighed. Her heart wouldn't stop beating fast. She looked at Cole, staring into his brown eyes.
Cole frowned and was curious why Maxine was staring at him. Then he was surprised when she grabbed the back of his head, pulled him closer to her, and kissed him on the lips.
It was just a quick kiss, and he couldn't respond.. Maxine stood up and ran inside the main house with a flushed face when she let him go, leaving Cole speechless.
