Something like love

Chapter 22

"Why what?" I ask

"Why I erased your memory" he says, steps back and looks down at the ground

"You what?" I ask

"Erased your memory well memories, or most of them" he says ashamed of himself

"Why on Gods green earth would you do that!?" I scream

"You had me looking stupid, thinking I didn't know you but I did! All those times I embarrassed myself and you played along! It must have been pretty fun seeing me like that you douchebag! That's like invading me and, and ugh! " I shout and pace back and forth with my hands an legs shaking, my wolf was furious that she and I fell for a mate that didn't even want us. I felt a certain pang of sadness and my wounds begin to open slowly one by one.

"I told you I couldn't take another blow to my heart, and you said you would never ever hurt me like he did." I say, I try hard to keep my voice strong but it collapses and the tears rush down my face.

"Just let me explain why" he says calmly as he slowly walks over to me.

I breath in and out slowly to keep her settled.

" The only reason I did it was to keep you safe. If they read your mind and found memories of you and I together like that they would kill you. But I didn't do my job and they almost did kill you that night, but I couldn't let them I felt your pain and I heard you cry for me, for your pack but if they came it would have been too late and, and I had to!!" He shouts

" Who is they, dereck" I demand

he turns his head so he can't look at me.

"Baby" He looks back at me with apologetic eyes and hugs me tight, it makes me feel safe and warm I know he was sorry, really sorry.

"And I didn't like seeing you and not kissing your soft lips or hugging you or laying next to you and pulling your body close to mine, and when you cried I wanted to rush over, wipe your tears away and tell you it was going to be okay and you were never alone, I was always there watching over you no matter what, like when you were at The beach with Brooke and you said my name and started crying. I couldn't handle seeing you like that and I had to pull myself away so could always keep you safe" He says and pulls me closer.

I pull him closer to me and cry, he did all that to protect me. But from who is what I wanna know. I pull away and look up to him.

"Who is they dereck?" I ask

"My pack" he says softly and then looks away in shame.

"Wh-what, your pack did this to me?" I say in shock.

" They aren't my real pack,they are a  huge pack of rouges that kidnapped me and killed most of my pack when I was younger" he says still looking away but his voice hardened when he spoke of them.

"What about your parents?" I ask.

"I don't know, they think that I have forgot about how they slaughtered and almost killed off my whole pack, and if they killed my parents or..." He trailed off but I didn't hear him.

"Or what dereck?" I ask, trying to get him to face me.

"Or if they killed my little sister" He said and his eyes turned light blue to black, pitch black.

"Dereck, " I say softly touch his arm softly. He grabs my hand and pulls me close to him. He looks into my eyes and I could see right into him, I could tell that he didn't like being like this with me so close. He takes in a deep breath and his eyes turn back to a beautiful blue that I'm used to.

"I'm so sorry" He says and rubs his thumb across my chin.

"Its okay, everyone gets like that sometimes" I say and get up on my tip toes and kiss his cheek and wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into a tight hug. He put his face in my neck  and breaths me in getting my scent.

"I forgive you" I whisper into his ear.

He pulls me closer to him, picks me up and spins me around. I laugh and look up at The sky and see The cresent moon watching us. I know that I really do love him.
