P.S they didn't do anything but kiss in the last chapter then they fell asleep because they were both exhausted from the day's events and worrying.   

 I woke up to the sound of a door closing and heavy footsteps walking around the bed. When I slowly opened my eyes, they were met with his beautiful ice blue eyes. I pretended to stretch, when I saw him smirking at my sleeping form. "You know for someone that is very uptight you sure move around and talk in your sleep a lot." As soon as I set the glare on my face at him he laugh and I grabbed what I was looking for. When he closed his eyes because of his laughter I wacked him as hard as I could with the pillow, apparently with enough force to rip it. " I am not uptight, I sleep no such way, and don't you know it's rude to watch someone while they sleep." He laugh a little more while I scolded him, "well isn't it unladylike to hit someone, and rude to break someone's pillow."

   "Oh dear I don't ever recall classifying myself as a lady, oh what was it I was again, oh that's right a warrior that can kick your butt anytime." He raised and eyebrow and smirked before leaning over me positioning his arms on either side of my head. "Last time I checked I was the one that defeated the warrior I think you have your story all wrong Artemis." Oh shoot when he said my name and electric spark ran down my spine, my mask falter because he smiled when he saw my reaction.

   I lifted up my hand and placed it on his check while one leg wrapped around his torso. He seemed a bit shocked by my movements but the shock in his eyes was instantly replaced with passion and desire. I took the hand off of his sculpted face and grabbed his arm opposite of the side my leg was on so our faces were closer. Are faces were so close our noses were just barely touching, "like I said I can kick your butt anytime, and every time." Before he knew it I had flipped him over using the position we were in and sprinted for the bathroom. He was hot on my trail but I made it just in time to twist the lock so he couldn't get in.

  He banged on the door almost to the point where I thought he was going to break through it. "Will you let me in already, I will most definitely get you back for this."  I finally was able to get him to leave the door alone because I needed a shower. When I turned around the enormous size of the bathroom shocked me, I thought the room, was large enough but this bathroom was bigger than my room at my house with the bathroom and closet. I took off my clothes and placed them on the white marble counter. I decided to use the jet rain shower instead of the fountain like bath that was in the center. I put the water on the perfect temperature and the water came down like I was under a waterfall it was amazing.

   After shampooing and bathing with Zayden's soap I toweled off and put on the spare robe that was put in their after everyone in the castle heard of my arrival. I dried my hair with the towel and decided to let it air dry. I grabbed my dirty clothes and put them in the hamper next to the door. I opened the bathroom door to see Zayden at the table across the room from the on a touch screen laptop. He looked up when I entered the room and smiled his eye got slightly darker. However we soon tore our eyes apart because of a sudden movement, a shadow. It took full shape of what looked like a human, and it developed red eyes. Before Zayden or myself had time to react the shadow lurched forward and enveloped me. I only felt darkness begin to consume me and the feeling of falling as my sight completely disappeared. I heard Zayden scream out my name before a warm sensation took over just before I lost all consciousness.

   "So its seems the murder of your parents just wasn't enough to convince that feeble little mind of yours that you can never be truly happy. Well I guess we will just have to fix that now won't we."I turned around taking in my surroundings and looking for the voice. I was in the cemetery in front of my parent's grave. "Hmm it seems you don't remember me all to well how about I refresh your memory my Crilaic." Red eyes appeared before me as a shadow consumed me, I was back in my old house my mom was in the kitchen cooking there were decorations everywhere. I understood as soon as I was in the cemetery but I would not let him have the satisfaction of knowing how much pain I was in.

   "Do you remember now Crilaic this is the day your poor parents died protecting their precious daughter. Ah the foolishness it must run in your family, I can still remember the screams of agony your parents made as I tore them to shreds and vowed to take their beloved child. Your father and mother did entertain me as they fought, to bad it was useless." I spun around looking for the source of the voice, "who are you really, why did and are you doing this, why do you keep calling me Crilaic?"  The voice laughed maniacally, "You'll find out soon enough, it seems you haven't taken my warning seriously looks like I'll have to fix that before we meet in person."  I could fell anger flare within me who was this thing that he thought he could ruin my life. "I am not afraid of you, you cannot harm me, because I am no longer some weak defenseless child I will destroy you and avenge my parents, your screams of mercy with pay for the pain you caused my parents, I will destroy you." He laughed again

   "Oh you do entertain me but I must cut the rest of this visit short when you wake up you will only know the sorrow you once knew, you will no longer have a bond with Zayden, and you will become the Crilaic. You have no choice, until next time, mejadoré trean ves loençè ciriliasvas!"

I was once again thrown into darkness, after what seemed like an eternity I began to hear a faint beeping noise. slowly I felt my heavy eyelids open, and a piercing light blinded me before my eyes adjusted after blinking a few times. "Artemis, can you hear me, are you alright!?" The voice next to me sounded panicked but a small jolt went up my spine as that person called out my name. I rolled my head over to the source of the voice. "Your highness, what am I doing in this room where am I?"  A look of puzzlement crossed the king's face before a sense of panic and anger clouded his eyes.

   "Artemis, this isn't a joke, do you remember anything that occurred within the last three days." I looked at him with a deadpan face before speaking. "I was assigned the duty of  preparing your arrival in town and showing you the training system of my pack."  His face paled slightly as sorrow began to fill his eyes. "He took it away, you have no memories of us being together at all do you." I shook my head a confusion slipped through my warrior mask. He lost it rage flared in his eyes as he got up and started pacing the room, I had a sense that whatever so called memories were missing were ones that I need to receive immediately.

   After he calmed and stopped mid pace he turned to me, and a sad smile appeared on his face, "Looks like we're back at square one."
