Bethanyâs p.o.v
âBethany. Come hereâ I heard Charles shout and I sighing, I turned around.
âI didnât do it!â I explained and he smiled
âBethany. You need to come inside. We have to give your pills and you need to leave as wellâ he said and I nodded
âIâm comingâ I mumbled and walked back inside the house.
âIâll go get you your pills and your bag. And you tell me everything your going to do when you reach thereâ he asked walking into the living room.
âWell I have to reach California and then find a guy- Erm I forgot his name. But yes. And then I tell him everything I told you. And thatâs it. He decides the rest?â I questioned as he walked back out.
âHere are you pills. And you need to find a guy called Cole Damien. And tell them that Charles sent you. They will understandâ he said pulling a suitcase out of the living room.
âOkay. Thanks Charles. I donât remember anything at all but you helped me. You made me pills that will help me get my memory back. Your a great chemistry teacher. I didnât think they would allow you to do all this! Itâs kind of shocking and unbelievable. Thanks Charlesâ I mumbled hugging him
âNo problem dear. Itâs the perks of being a chemistry teacherâ he chuckled
âThank you for taking me in. I better be goingâ I said picking my small suitcase up
âYeah. Just be careful. If anyone asks, your name is Veronica. And your my daughter. Okay?âhe asked opening the door and I nodded
âVeronica Haleâ I repeated and he nodded
âOkay. So when you get to California you go to this address. If you canât find anyone here, then ask for Cole Damien. Some one should know him. Say the word alpha. And they will take him straight to him.â He said handing me by fake passport and papers
âAlpha? Isnât that in book-â
âOff you go bethany. You will miss your flight.â He cut me off and I nodded
âOkay. Bye Charles and thanksâ I waved and sat in the car.
~~~~
I reached California. And it was hot!
I sat in a taxi and the guy looked shocked to see me.
âCan you take me to this place please?â I asked handing him the paper and he nodded
âOf course lunaâ he exclaimed starting the car
âNot luna. My name is bethanyâ I said and he nodded
âAlpha is going to be so happy to see youâ he said smiling at me in the review mirror
âAlpha? Yes. Oh so they already know Iâm here? Charles told me to say alpha? But he already told these people Iâm coming.â I mumbled to myself
âCharles? Who is Charles luna- I mean bethany?â The guy asked
âYou heard that? Charles is my dadâ I repeated what Charles has been making me say
âYour dad? But what about alpha Damien?â He asked confused
âAlpha Damien? I donât understandâ I asked confused
âWait. Iâll tell alpha your comingâ he said and his eyes glazed over
âOh my god. Are you okay? Is something wrong? Hello?â I jumped up and was about to shake him when he turned his head around and looked at me.
âIâm okay bethany. I just have to contact alpha. To let him know your comingâ he said and I sighed
âBut your eyes. They were glazed over? How did that happen? And your driving. I could have diedâ I yelled and he turned back around.
âSorry lunaâ he muttered
âBethanyâ I replied and he nodded
After 5 minutes of driving threw the woods, we reached a really big house.
âWhere are we? Are you trying to kidnap me?â I asked following him out the car as he took my suitcase
âNo luna. This is your homeâ he said walking towards the house.
âExcuse me! This is wrong. You canât just take someoneâs suitcase and tell them this is their house. I have to meet a guy called Cole Damien? Do you know him?â I asked following him.
âYesâ the guy said opening the door to the big house. Everyone was staring at me and following me inside.
âOi! Excuse me?â I mumbled trying to stop the guy with my suitcase
âAlphaâ the guy shouted and I sighed as a few people came out the kitchen.
âBethany?â A girl with red hair shouted and ran to me. She hugged me tightly
âOh. Jaxon is going to be so happyâ she mumbled and I pushed her away.
âSome room people. God! Never heard of personal spaceâ I mumbled rubbing the flour off my jeans.
âMommyâ a little boy said running towards me. He hugged my legs tightly
âCherry?â I heard another voice before someone tall was hugging me tightly.
The guy hugged me and sniffed my hair.
Not much of a hug person I thought
âCan you let me go?â I mumbled and he groaned
âI have been dying to hear your voice. I missed you so much cherryâ he mumbled looking at me.
I didnât have much time to look at his face, before he crashed his lips on mine. I pushed him away and groaned
âStop. Everyone. Pleaseâ I sighed and the little boy moved away from me.
âLeave. All of youâ the guy that kissed me said and everyone left except a few people.
âWait! You!â I yelled to the taxi guy and he stopped
âYes luna?â He asked and I walked closer to him.
âItâs bethany. But can you take me back. I need to see a guy called Cole Damienâ I muttered and he looked behind him
âAlphaâ he said
âYes! Alpha? Thatâs the word. Can you take me to him please?â I asked but he ignored me and walked out the house, closing the door behind him.
âFine ignore me. Rude much?â I muttered and grabbed my suitcase
âCherry wait. I can call your dadâ the guy that kissed me said walking infront of me.
âRachel. Take Oliver upstairs.â He said and the girl with the red hair, took the little boy upstairs.
âDo you know Cole Damien?â I asked him and he nodded
âYes cherry. I know your dadâ he smirked
ââDad? Can I see him. Itâs urgentâ I mumbled and he nodded
He walked towards me and held my hand.
âI missed you cherryâ he mumbled kissing my hand
âBethanyâ I replied pulling my hand out of his
âIâll call your dadâ he mumbled and walked to another room. I went to living room and sat down on the sofa.
I donât know any of these people I mumbled looking around the room. There were a few pictures on the fireplace and I walked towards them. There was one of me with the girl called Rachel?
I donât remember any of this
âYour dad will be here any minute. He was actually coming to visit oliverâ I heard a voice behind me
âOh. Sorry about looking at these. I was jus-â
âItâs okay cherry. This house is yoursâ he smiled
âI donât know you!â I blurted and he looked confused
âWhat! Cherry Iâm your mat-â he got cut off by the doorbell rang.
âIâll be backâ he mumbled and walked out the room.
âWhere is she? Bethanyâ I heard another voice shout before an older man appeared into the living room
âPrincess..â he whispered before walking to me and hugging me.
âAre you Cole Damien?â I asked and he chuckled and let me go
âNice joke bethany. You canât forgot your dadâ he chuckled and I sighed
âCharles sent me here.â I said and he looked shocked
âCharles Hale?â He asked and I nodded
âYes!â I exclaimed
âIâm going to kill that bastardâ he growled?
âAre you okay?â I asked and he nodded
âBethany. What did he say? You do know that he is a wizard. He is cable of doing anythingâ he muttered and I laughed
âWizard? This is not a book Cole. Charles is a chemistry teacher!â I explained dad he sighed
âWhat has happened to you. Iâm going to ask a few questions and I want you to answer them. Okay?â He said and I nodded slowly
âWhatâs your name?â He asked
âBethany. But if someone else asks be, except you, then itâs Veronica Haleâ I replied and he nodded
âWhat do you know about yourself?â He asked
âWell I am a girl and 22 years old. Iâm going to be 23 soonâ I replied and he nodded
âWhatâs your full name? And your parents name?â He asked and I shrugged my shoulder
âI donât knowâ I mumbled and he sighed
âSo you fucking lost your memory. Iâm going to kill that assholeâ he yelled and I sat down on the sofa
âNo! Charles he helped me. He told me to tell you everything. But I canât because-â I looked at the guy
âHe is your mat- never mind. Your a humanâ Cole muttered and I rolled my eyes
âSo your telling me your not a human?â I asked standing up
âNo we are humans. Sit back down. And you can trust Jaxon. He wonât tell anyone. Now tell me how all of this happened?â Cole said and I nodded
âCharles is a good guy. All I remember, two years ago, is waking up on a street. In Florida. And Charles he was walking by, when he saw me. He took me home and looked after me. For two years Charles made me pills that will help me remember again. Thatâs why I was sent here. Because Iâm going to get my memory back soon so I had to meet Cole. Thatâs why I was under a different name. Charles said that someone is after me and I have to come back to you guys. He said he canât protect me forever. I never understand him but he did help meâ I explained and cole nodded
âWait! So one thing I donât understand is the heads. Why were they send to us?â Jaxon asked and Cole sighed
âIllusionsâ he mumbled and Jaxon nodded.
âIâm confusedâ I stood up
âDonât worry cherry.â Jaxon said walking towards me and I stepped back.
âJaxon stop! She doesnât know youâ Cole said pulling Jaxon back
âCole sheâs my mate. She needs to know me!â He shouted and I moved back.
âJaxon stopâ Cole said looking at me
âNo! She needs to know me. Sheâs MY MATE! She loves me. I fucking know it and she does as wellâ Jaxon shouted and I leaned on the wall sighing.
Ever since I lost my memory, I find it hard to breath when Iâm in a noisy place. I have panic attacks sometimes as well. I just donât get it!
âJaxon calm the fuck down. Bethany? Whatâs wrong princess?â Cole asked walking close to me
âNothingâ I breathed out. I sat on the floor and took deep breaths.
âCherry! Whatâs wrong cherry?â Jaxon asked sitting down next to me.
âIâm okay!â I mumbled standing up
âIâm sorry cherry. I didnât know this was going to happen to you. I didnât know you were going to get scared of me. I didnât know!â He exclaimed and I nodded
âItâs okay. And itâs bethanyâ I repeated
âWould you like to tell me the rest?â Cole asked and I nodded sitting back down on the sofa
âDo you have someone talking in your mind at times? Like explaining things or something?â He asked and I shook my head
âNoâ I mumbled and he nodded
âSo she lost her wolf as well. Do you feel different sometimes? For example, when your upset, the weather changes?â He asked and I scoffed
âI canât control the weather you knowâ I exclaimed and he nodded and turned to Jaxon
âIâm guessing James has gotten rid of her memory and everything. Sheâs a human now! She doesnât know us or anything. Iâm going to call Charles and talk to himâ Cole said and walked out the room.
âCherry? Do you remember me?â Jaxon asked sitting on the floor and leaning on the sofa
âNo?â I questioned
âWhat do you remember?â He asked looking at me
âI donât know anything about my past! All I remember is waking up on a street, confused. And then Charles finding meâ I explained and he nodded
âI know you will remember me soonâ he mumbled leaning his head on my lap
âExcus-â
âI talked to Charles. And he said that he had seen James close by in Florida. Thatâs the reason why he sent her here. And she should get her memory back in a few days. When she gets it back, thatâs when she will have to attack. We have to keep a close eye on her. Make sure she doesnât go anywhere aloneâ Cole said walking into the room.
âIâll make sure of thatâ Jaxon mumbled standing up
âAre you staying?â I asked cole and he shook his head
âNo. I have to go backâ he said and I sighed
âCan you stay, until I get my memory back? Please?â I asked and he nodded
âOf course princess. Why donât you go upstairs and rest for a while?â He said and I nodded
âFirst floor, and first doorâ Jaxon said and I nodded
I walked out the room, and upstairs. I opened the first door to see a little boy crying on the bed.
âAre you okay?â I asked and he looked up at me.
âYesâ he replied looking at a photo frame in his hands
I nodded and closed the door behind me.
âCan I stay here with you?â I asked and he nodded. I sat on the bed as he wiped his eyes
âHow old are you?â I asked
â2â he replied and I was shocked
â2? You look about 4-5â I mumbled and he nodded
âYesâ he said
âWhatâs this in your arms? Why are you crying?â I asked softly as tears rolled down his face
âMy mommyâ he said handing me the picture. It was of me and Jaxon smiling with a little boy in our hands?
âYou are my mommy right? Daddy told me you are?â He asked looking at me
âI-I. Yeahâ I muttered and he jumped on me and hugged me tightly
âMommy I missed you. Did you get me a star?â He asked
âStar?â I asked confused and he let me go and sat in my lap
âYeah mommy. Daddy said you went to the stars, to get me one. Did you get me one?â He asked and I shook my head
âThey had so many people asking for stars and when I wanted one, they all finished. Sorryâ I replied frowning and he shook his head
âItâs okay mommy. I love youâ he said kissing my cheek
âYour mommy loves you tooâ I whispered.
