37 Not Letting Her Go 

ALEJANDRO

Crushing, agonising pain, that’s how it f*****g felt. I hated to admit it but I felt like I couldn’t breathe. She was my f*****g world, but she had forgotten me… Deep down I had hoped she wouldn’t forget me, but she had. F**k she had.

From the corner of my eyes, I could see the way she was hugging herself, her eyes watching me warily. Had she forgotten my touch? Nine years… Nine years of being together and she had forgotten it all.

The anger and hatred I felt for this so-called f*****g crimson king and his Djinn was growing. I was ready to pay the price to kill them both as long as it didn’t affect my queen. She stood by the window now, her heart racing, my shirt draping off her shoulder.

Amore Mio…

Focus Alejandro.

I was trying, f*****g trying to keep myself in control but the urge to go on a f*****g rampage was growing “You’re bleeding.” She said softly making me snap out of my thoughts. I looked down realising blood was spilling onto the floor where I had dug my claws into my palms. “It’ll heal.” I replied, my voice sounding cold but seeing her flinch hurt f*****g more. I had a feeling she had forgotten her abilities too… “Is this your pack?” She asked looking out of the window. “Yeah, it’s our pack.” I correct. “The Night Walkers Pack.” “Night Walkers…. Isn’t that the name of the Lycan King’s pack…” She asked thoughtfully.

My heart thudded, so there were things she still remembered.

“Yeah, you’re f*****g looking at him.” I remarked crossing my arms as I walked over to her. Instinctively she stepped back until her a*s touched the wall behind her. “You’re the Lycan king?” She looked confused and I raised an eyebrow. “Yeah, I f*****g am.” I replied. Would she remember me if I kissed her? I wasn’t sure but I was not going to f*****g risk it and end up pushing her away. No matter how much I wanted to express my love to her and show her that she was my f*****g lifeline I couldn’t. Not until she was ready…

Raihana hadn’t been able to pick anything up…so whatever this is… it should be able to be undone by killing the Djinn… “I’m going to use the bathroom…” She said, smoothly moving away from me. “Through there.” I jerked my head towards the dressing room and bathroom and she all but

ran.

I heard her shut and bolt the door, something she would never usually do, leaving me alone in our bedroom. I looked at the ground feeling tiredness settle over me.

Life…

I walked over to the bed, dropping onto it and picked up my phone, I stared at the image on my lock screen… Me, Kiara and the kids… I unlocked it and stared at my wallpaper. Her and I…

The smile that lit up her face… F**k.

I swallowed, clicked on her number and skimmed through the messages. ‘Love you more…. Can’t f*****g wait to see you when I’m back… Want me to make you brownies tonight?… One hundred f*****g percent, do I get to smear them over your t**s and lick them off?… I like the idea…’ I kept scrolling, each one making the pain in my chest grow.

How did it come to this?

I frowned remembering her voice message from last night, I scrolled down until I reached it and clicked on it.

“Alejandro… I know I can say this in person, but I just wanted to tell you… I love you; I will always love you… no matter what.” 5

Her voice became a whisper, and I could tell she was fighting back her tears.
