"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." 738Please respect copyright.PENANAwCM5edIJBo
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. 738Please respect copyright.PENANAZdaoVNExqL
"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.738Please respect copyright.PENANA9CGz5qtgRQ
"D-different?"738Please respect copyright.PENANAPKPVMBT1zv
A ghost of a smile appeared on his face at the stutter in my tone.738Please respect copyright.PENANAYkjxU8T0I1
"Exactly," he whispered. "Different. Unique; Special; Beautiful. And you don't even know why."738Please respect copyright.PENANAJgSCN8yeqj
I couldn't look away. His silver eyes had me captive and I couldn't move until he released me.738Please respect copyright.PENANAnkQNRl3k4e
"Why?" I murmured, barely daring to breath.738Please respect copyright.PENANA67Ak38Ii25
The smile on his face faded, as his fingertips traced my jaw. His eyes glossed over and I immediately sensed his grief.738Please respect copyright.PENANAZkApSTY5QI
"Because, Lyn," he began. "We were born for each other."738Please respect copyright.PENANApustbuNyuj
"For each other?" I repeated. "You and I?"738Please respect copyright.PENANAjmYFNhzHVe
"Gray Wolves can sense their mates, Lyn... Usually from birth. We grew up knowing that we were for each other."738Please respect copyright.PENANAFxhMaP1Uda
"Mates?"738Please respect copyright.PENANAD5b7f4fu7e
"Mates... Like Soulmates."738Please respect copyright.PENANAYOsiqTfnxv
"Then why can't I-" I began.738Please respect copyright.PENANANHiJrISmVB
"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."738Please respect copyright.PENANAJHobwTiiPd
"So until the block is gone, I'm not a..."738Please respect copyright.PENANAfbgu55mfSr
"Not exactly," he responded. I gave him a wild look. "Your migraines will only get worse as you're memories return completely."738Please respect copyright.PENANArNCiwiTt4u
"For the love of Luna... You have got to be kidding me!" I groaned.738Please respect copyright.PENANAOFWLQvrJap
738Please respect copyright.PENANAXbjWsm2Qqo
He lifted up his hand and let his fingers run through the strands of ash-brown hair.738Please respect copyright.PENANAjBwU1PuZTi
"There may be a way..." His voice was so quiet; I barely heard him.738Please respect copyright.PENANAqv6x1f31E1
"What is it?" I asked.738Please respect copyright.PENANA8sCBz222TF
"I have a strong connection to your past," he murmured. "If we... No, but its wrong."738Please respect copyright.PENANAKlo0JPo5MA
"What is it?" I repeated urgently.738Please respect copyright.PENANAZgG0ESKUrY
"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..."738Please respect copyright.PENANAAI8CIl6B64
"But what?"738Please respect copyright.PENANAnfhXTeL7Tj
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.738Please respect copyright.PENANAxIaWjzRzPj
"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. 738Please respect copyright.PENANAiWcmVR3rPU
"I love you."738Please respect copyright.PENANA5LLUSQIdvF
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.738Please respect copyright.PENANAQluXPP5ycX
"You don't even know me," I muttered, confused.738Please respect copyright.PENANAbiJymI7QnP
"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."738Please respect copyright.PENANAQTOWdiqYDb
"How do you strengthen the bond?" I heard myself asking, though I could hardly recognise my own voice.738Please respect copyright.PENANAT6dJ5VL4q7
"Like this."738Please respect copyright.PENANAv8Qc1Lc1Ui
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. 738Please respect copyright.PENANAEyrGfnC8iW
"Come back to me," he whispered.738Please respect copyright.PENANANXYo6Stc7J
Long buried emotions made surface, flowing from me. Love, pain, grief, anger, happiness- everything at once.738Please respect copyright.PENANAXNdVUWDdv8
And then, fragments of my memories came within it.
