"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." 782Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ1jsLwi4N
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. 782Please respect copyright.PENANA3dYHL7fMcB
"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.782Please respect copyright.PENANAXOgN5IZRAj
"D-different?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAQorEYJsP6i
A ghost of a smile appeared on his face at the stutter in my tone.782Please respect copyright.PENANAPXKB7zHefl
"Exactly," he whispered. "Different. Unique; Special; Beautiful. And you don't even know why."782Please respect copyright.PENANAXYE2Wp2kkC
I couldn't look away. His silver eyes had me captive and I couldn't move until he released me.782Please respect copyright.PENANAvinu0B94XN
"Why?" I murmured, barely daring to breath.782Please respect copyright.PENANAavcx8rQdnI
The smile on his face faded, as his fingertips traced my jaw. His eyes glossed over and I immediately sensed his grief.782Please respect copyright.PENANAzQmiAaHQ19
"Because, Lyn," he began. "We were born for each other."782Please respect copyright.PENANAM4QXKBLUL5
"For each other?" I repeated. "You and I?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAUwV7Pkfi7F
"Gray Wolves can sense their mates, Lyn... Usually from birth. We grew up knowing that we were for each other."782Please respect copyright.PENANAumozb12Mjh
"Mates?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAs5vLaasghs
"Mates... Like Soulmates."782Please respect copyright.PENANAlUhWfnG89d
"Then why can't I-" I began.782Please respect copyright.PENANAOwlcMXnr6u
"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."782Please respect copyright.PENANAjHSWwjaHAv
"So until the block is gone, I'm not a..."782Please respect copyright.PENANAKxN7oUpEbY
"Not exactly," he responded. I gave him a wild look. "Your migraines will only get worse as you're memories return completely."782Please respect copyright.PENANAp0RbLKjJfG
"For the love of Luna... You have got to be kidding me!" I groaned.782Please respect copyright.PENANApHId24qwZC
782Please respect copyright.PENANAKw3tJpM2zW
He lifted up his hand and let his fingers run through the strands of ash-brown hair.782Please respect copyright.PENANAXGY7LyrsU1
"There may be a way..." His voice was so quiet; I barely heard him.782Please respect copyright.PENANA3ferRqzNEe
"What is it?" I asked.782Please respect copyright.PENANAQJUjMjbJCM
"I have a strong connection to your past," he murmured. "If we... No, but its wrong."782Please respect copyright.PENANAq7i2ikLXOX
"What is it?" I repeated urgently.782Please respect copyright.PENANAwH58WKRylm
"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..."782Please respect copyright.PENANAjONIVvnzlq
"But what?"782Please respect copyright.PENANAjd2Wh5raIg
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.782Please respect copyright.PENANAR0jrwNPe2O
"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. 782Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y7L1kwmjs
"I love you."782Please respect copyright.PENANAPSvDtjuSry
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.782Please respect copyright.PENANA6mBd8zdWTh
"You don't even know me," I muttered, confused.782Please respect copyright.PENANAzXlKo5pvDI
"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."782Please respect copyright.PENANAZRIuTcH86S
"How do you strengthen the bond?" I heard myself asking, though I could hardly recognise my own voice.782Please respect copyright.PENANAY3x52XuBGu
"Like this."782Please respect copyright.PENANA9eX2490brb
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. 782Please respect copyright.PENANAZjDBU2F46t
"Come back to me," he whispered.782Please respect copyright.PENANA0JFvaxI5cf
Long buried emotions made surface, flowing from me. Love, pain, grief, anger, happiness- everything at once.782Please respect copyright.PENANAGSSiCDjLIY
And then, fragments of my memories came within it.
