Go to Gwen’s Point of View
I jolt awake and take a look around the room I slept in.
This is…
“You’re awake, my dear?” Huh? Who?
I turn my head to see a man walking with a glass of water in his hand.
Who is he?
Staring at the glass he handed me, I slowly took it and drank the water down.
Where is this?
Where am I?
“I…”
He let out a long sigh “You still don’t remember? I’m your husband and last week you had an accident
so you lost your memory” He looked tired as he explained it, as if I asked him many times and he
repeatedly explained it.
Accident?
My husband?
Staring into his eyes that kept looking at me with a small smile, for some reason there was a strange
feeling that said that I couldn’t trust him, but was there any other choice I could make other than
trusting this man in front of me?
There’s no way he would lie about that, right?
What can he achieve for that lie?
“Where is this? Who am I?” I asked quietly before lying back down on my bed as the dizziness and
weakness returned to

me.
“Sydney… and your name is Ellaine Gwen… I’m Jack Osmund, your husband” He explained slowly
before I lost my consciousness back into the darkness that surrounded me.
Why do I suddenly feel… sleepy?
That water… He seemed to put something in those drinks…
Days passed with me waking up and falling asleep just staring at the plough of the man who claimed to
be my husband, Jack Osmund…
Was he really my husband?
Another week has passed and I’ve had more energy so I’m not constantly taking the medicine the
doctor gave me due to the accident.
Amnesia…
Yes, that’s what the doctor told me that I lost my memory and as if restarting my life from 0, my memory
began when I woke up and saw the man who said he was my husband.
However, why do I feel strange around that man?
“Are you awake?” I looked over to see him coming with a glass of water which he placed on the table
before sitting beside me “It’s good to see you’re awake and sitting in the living room with me” he said
with a smile.
They said we had an accident, but he looked healthy to be someone who said was there with me in the
car accident, why am I the only one suffering from it?
Something isn’t right…
I just nodded my head without looking back out of the window beside me.
It’s strange when you can’t remember or recognise anything, as if you just woke up from a long sleep
and everything in front

of you is unknown whether it’s true or just a lie.
“Ellaine…”
I turned towards him when he called my name, a name that felt strange because I didn’t seem to
recognise it.
“Are you okay?” He asked worriedly.
I nodded again “It’s just weird because I can’t recognise or remember anything” I replied softly with a
sigh.
“I see…” He smiled while holding my hand and I, as if stung by something hot, was surprised at being
touched and quickly retracted my hand from his touch.
“Ah… Sorry” I said quickly, confused by this reaction I felt.
Why do I seem to dislike being touched by him?
The disgust and hatred I feel when he touches me…
What am I feeling?
“Does your head hurt again?” he hurriedly asked and went to get some medicine from the drawer.
Strange…
This situation is very strange…
My body feels healthy, but why is it that after taking the medicine and water I always feel weak?
“Here” He gave the medicine into my hand.
How could I trick him into drinking the medicine and water he gave me?
Knock… Knock…
As if my prayers were answered when I heard someone knocking on the front door, I pretended to put
some medicine in my mouth before grabbing a glass of water.
He, who thought I was taking the medicine, roused to open the door and I hurriedly spit out the
medicine and put it in my trouser pocket before throwing the water into the trees beside_

me, then pretended to yawn before putting my head on the back of the sofa at the same time he came
back with 2 men and 1 woman.
“I see you’ve still got her captive…” Someone was speaking but I didn’t recognise them so at the
moment I just wanted to listen. Yes, my feelings tell me that the man who claims to be my husband is
not who he says he is, I know myself and how I would feel and act if I really loved that man.
Why?
Even if I don’t recognise him, my heart must know…
However, what’s in my heart right now is only suspicion and hatred, so I have to believe in myself
rather than that person I don’t know.
Did he say captive..?
“Be careful…” The woman’s voice sounded as if she wanted to know if I was really asleep or not.
Sh*t!
I need to act better….
“Don’t worry, I saw her taking the forgetfulness medicine as well as the water with the wolfsbane, she
must have fallen asleep” This time I recognised Jack’s voice speaking.
Forgetfulness medicine?
Water containing wolfsbane?
What is wolfsbane?
Is it some kind of poison?
And memory drugs?
O G*d…
So I was right… He’s not my husband!

Rolf Titus Point of View
“What do you mean by leaving all this behind?” Drake looked angry and shocked at my words.
Yes, I know this decision was sudden for him, but it’s been on my mind since I saw how great everyone
was without me where they were able to protect their pack members and work well together.
They don’t need an Alpha king…
I closed my eyes and let out a long sigh “Drake…” I called his name and opened my eyes to meet his
gaze “The black magic has been erased with the sacrifice of Lola’s immortality and the witch’s
offspring… They also sacrificed their powers so that there is no more black magic. But, they have their
families by their side… Melissa has you, even though she is only human at the moment but she knows
you will always be by her side… and Morena, it was a surprise to find out she was Jose’s mate….. I
thought the old man would always be alone but apparently he didn’t find her all this time because she
was hidden…” I smiled a
little as I remembered Morena…
When she’s waking up, the white witch’s success in destroying Pearl who had returned to her mortal
body, Gwen’s stab that managed to stop the black witch’s heartbeat, then they returned Morena’s soul
to her body.
Everything that happened was like a dream…
Our victory, our success in finishing the black magic…
But…
“Drake, I only have Gwen. All of this is meaningless because my mate is not by my side…” I finished
my words and smiled at him.
He knows how much I want a mate, after hundreds of years of living without one, this time I can’t afford
to lose my second chance.

He shed tears and looked down “But, leaving your title and leaving the palace…. What will I do with my
new position?”
I got up and stood in front of him to pat his shoulder. “You’re a great person, I’m sure you can become
a great Alpha and be able to protect this territory… I will give power to each Alpha in each territory” I
said firmly with confidence.
Yes, I know everyone will be surprised but this time I want to be selfish, I want to seek my happiness-
and don’t want the title of Alpha king to hinder me.
Jack crossed the line and only I can put an end to this.
Peace has come and I want to keep this as my gift to everyone… He made Pearl his mate, 1 year is
usually the limit for a person to survive after their mate dies, it’s been almost 3 weeks since he took my
mate, I know he really wants the white wolf and I’m afraid the only way he can do it is to make my mate
his, even if by force.
Our bond has not been broken, but Destine is asleep, I can’t reach her…
Wolfsbane…
That’s what Wolf thought and I agree with him, it seems Destine was poisoned by Wolfsbane so she
became very weak. The spies sent by some Alpha to help me said he went to London, but yesterday
Richard informed me that they were no longer there.
Australia…
Ares said they went there, and this time I can’t lose them again. I just hope Gwen stays healthy and
nothing bad happens to her.
Please wait, Gwen…
I will definitely come to you…
