Worse Than Giving Up

Chapter 13

Nath's POV

I eat my breakfast, and I try to remember what I was doing yesterday.

I have a feeling that it was important, but I really can't remember it, even though I try very hard.

I already accepted that I have problems with memory, because Sven told me that I have them, and I know that he wouldn't lie about something like that.

But it doesn't change the fact that I get angry when Benjamin reminds me about that.

"What were we doing yesterday?" I ask Sven, and he sighs tiredly.

"You can't remember?" He asks me, so I shake my head.

"It was something important, but I can't remember what." I tell him.

"Well, you met our other mate." He tell me, and my eyes widen a lot.

"We have another mate?" I ask him, and he nods, although I can see that he's thinking about something.

"Can I see him again?" I ask him.

"You can, but I think that it will be better if you won't contact him for a while." Sven tells me.

"Why?" I ask him, and I'm a bit angry, because I have no idea why he would want me to not see my other mate.

"Because you already forgot him twice, and I'm pretty use that you will forget him again soon.

So, if you will hang out with Dallas before you will be able to remember everything, then he will be to know you, but he will still be a stranger to you." Sven explains.

I think about it for a while, before I nod slightly, but I'm still not sure if I want to agree to this.

I know that Sven is better in dealing with things like this, so I guess that I should trust him when he's telling me that this will be better for me.

But I really want to get to know my other mate too.

"How will we know if I will be able to remember him enough to meet him again?" I ask him.

He thinks about it for a while, before he smiles, which tells me that he came up with some plan.

"Do you remember the names of our kids?" He asks me.

"I remember two." I tell him.

I feel a bit bad about that, and I wanted to say that I remember them, but I don't want to lie.

"Julian and Joe?" He asks me, and I nod.

"That most likely because you wanted to name them like this, and those names were your favourite before you lost your memory." He tells me.

"Why did you ask me about that?" I ask him, because I really have no idea how we went from talking about our mate to talking about our kids.

"I will ask you if you remember the names of our kids everyday, and if you won't, then I will remind you, before you will finally remember them." He tells me.

"Alright." I say, because it seems like a good idea.

"And when you will manage to repeat them, then we will think about getting to know Dallas, but for now the both of us will stay away from him." Sven tells me.
