"You don't know." The sound of his deep voice both made my heart race and stop at once. "I didn't think it was possible, but you actually don't know anything." 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx1TXksIjt
He took a step closer and let his hand hover over my cheek. Every nerve in my body sprung to life and tingled from his proximity. And all I could think about was... What thoughts? At that moment, everything was him. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBzMUJBG3m
"But you know what, Lyn? That's what makes you so different." With these words, his fingers finally brushed the side of my face, breaking some kind of spell within me. My whole body went overdrive and my senses began to overwhelm me.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1F5WWKXw5
"D-different?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y5KQiuoKA
A ghost of a smile appeared on his face at the stutter in my tone.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyXVRup8M1
"Exactly," he whispered. "Different. Unique; Special; Beautiful. And you don't even know why."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gj9MAPjGK
I couldn't look away. His silver eyes had me captive and I couldn't move until he released me.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkM6250jKt
"Why?" I murmured, barely daring to breath.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYSkrlRknK
The smile on his face faded, as his fingertips traced my jaw. His eyes glossed over and I immediately sensed his grief.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonFvPhuxyp
"Because, Lyn," he began. "We were born for each other."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOzoomirSm
"For each other?" I repeated. "You and I?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxbkKKaw1t
"Gray Wolves can sense their mates, Lyn... Usually from birth. We grew up knowing that we were for each other."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hu5HR5W1z
"Mates?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdEowEWtBe
"Mates... Like Soulmates."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKmJN5NoC7
"Then why can't I-" I began.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatpjXHBHqt
"You could," he interrupted. "You used to be able to. But its like I told you... Your werewolf side has been suppressed for years. It's going to take more than being in the presence of other Gray Wolves to trigger it's return."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjLb1bvIiM
"So until the block is gone, I'm not a..."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml1IqijEHx
"Not exactly," he responded. I gave him a wild look. "Your migraines will only get worse as you're memories return completely."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7PnRXbtSG
"For the love of Luna... You have got to be kidding me!" I groaned.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eMIp07zmK
769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPaFclQXrg
He lifted up his hand and let his fingers run through the strands of ash-brown hair.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG3J1MmdXm
"There may be a way..." His voice was so quiet; I barely heard him.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZEkDXjCDz
"What is it?" I asked.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qjyCaEtIv
"I have a strong connection to your past," he murmured. "If we... No, but its wrong."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtVqOAWNNA
"What is it?" I repeated urgently.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ozwRRZihf
"Since I have a strong connection to your memories, strengthening your bond with me will let me act as a bridge between you and your past," he explained. "It will release your werewolf side but..."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4c0aWidyn
"But what?"769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcg3WLYOlL
He stared at me for a long moment, his eyes holding the intensity of a raging storm. Almost at once, his eyes welled up and a tear slid down his cheek.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLUu53Hb30
"I can't d-do this a-anymore," he choked. "I c-can't, Lyn. I can't d-deal with you n-not b-being able to remember..." He took a deep breath and cupped my face in his palms. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOnAJ0r68i
"I love you."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f7KfZZyPU
I froze, unable to breath. Love. The word sounded unreal, coming from his lips. I was sure he was lying. I wasn't capable of being loved.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWq4fhhd79
"You don't even know me," I muttered, confused.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3SVs0nnNQ
"That's the thing, though," he objected, another tear falling from his eyes. "I do. I know you b-better than anyone else in the w-world and the same g-goes for you. You know m-me... You just c-can't remember it." He bit his lip and ran his thumb along my cheekbone. "And y-you know what? I don't care, anymore. I don't care if its wrong. I only care that strengthening the bond will bring my Lyn back to me."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksS3kyvEbI
"How do you strengthen the bond?" I heard myself asking, though I could hardly recognise my own voice.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEfxRkPAe1
"Like this."769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqLv92IkIj
With that, his lips collided onto mine, sending my senses into overdrive. His scent tingled at my nose; his voice echoing in my ears; his touch caressing my cheek. The taste of his slightly salty tears overwhelmed my mouth and every nerve in my body fused with his, igniting me with passion. There was nothing gentle about the way he kissed me but somehow that was what made me feel alive. 769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcCkem3mah
"Come back to me," he whispered.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIZQHewY8l
Long buried emotions made surface, flowing from me. Love, pain, grief, anger, happiness- everything at once.769Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPXJNfYNNC
And then, fragments of my memories came within it.
