On a Path to Surrender

Prologue

"Tell me! Were we gonna get married?" Ed uttered. His voice barely above a whisper. "Please tell me Kevin. I need to know. Were we engaged? Are we engaged?" He stressed. He only needed to know. Damn it. He wanted to remember. He wanted his memory to come back, to figure out all of it.

But Kevin just stood there, looking right at the sunset. His eyes were so focused on the setting sun. Ed tried look right into his eyes. He hated this. He hated even though, how beautiful and full of expressions those eyes looked, he always failed to figure out what they were trying to say. 

Kevin turned to look at Ed. And right there, his heart stopped for a moment, right when he looked into those beautiful eyes. God! He was just as beautiful as the first time he saw him. He could feel his wolf whining inside, pleading him to take this beautiful man, the love of his life into their arms and never ever let go. He wanted to. God knows how much he wanted to. He was hurting so much. Kevin knew that he will not survive this. But he also realized that he has to make this sacrifice. He cannot force him to remember everything. He cannot bring it back for him. If anyone could bring Ed's memory back, it is Ed. Maybe he needed time. Of course he needed time. But Kevin didn't know how much time he could spare. Damn it. He didn't know he had such a weak heart. So much for the being the Alpha of the Troegords. Kevin wished he could remember everything for Ed. He wished he had some sort of a telepathic power that would enable them to share their memories, pass them on to him. Kevin remembered everything. Every little detail, every single moment they spent together. He moved his glare down to Ed's lips. He could remember the first time they kissed, right here, at the exact same place where they are standing right now. That moment he gave Ed his first kiss, that moment he tasted those sweet lips for the first time. That moment, that moment he realized his heart was gone for good. Kevin could not help himself. He knew he should not do this. But deep down he could not resist. He didn't want to resist. He leaned in and took those soft lips in a loving kiss which only lasted for a couple of seconds. It wasn't sexual. It wasn't lustful. It was a kiss that spoke volumes of indescribable emotions of love.

Ed was shocked to the very core of his heart. He was feeling things he's never felt before. well... Not that he can remember. He opened his eyes seconds after the kiss ended only to see deep amber eyes looking down at him. Just as he was released from that sweet grasp he felt a wave of lonely thin air surrounding him. Weird. Well.. he can think about it later. first things first.

"Are you gonna answer me?" Ed broke off the silence that was almost unbearable. "Listen, Kevin.. I know this is very difficult for you. And I'm sorry for that. But I'm trying. So please tell me, we were ever gonna get married? The entire planet Drachill knows you're not serious about relationships, that it's not your thing. So how can I believe you were not playing with me. Someone like me? I was never a real thing for people." Ed said quietly. His tone, serious. "Look I want you to know that I want to have my memory back as much as you do. But I can't just start my life back from where it stopped. Not like this. So.. uh.. I.. uhmm.. I just.. I don't think I can start it with someone who I have no memory of. I just don't feel about you in that way. I have to figure out everything. I need to stay away from all of this. Maybe it might help."

Kevin was hoping he could erase all those words from his memory. He did not want to hear any of it. But he has to do this. He should let Ed have his space. Maybe it's for the best. Kevin knew he was only trying to console himself. He has to be strong. And he will be. He gathered up all the courage that was left in him and smiled at Ed. The kind of smile that only belongs to someone who got their heart ripped apart, the kind of smile that's filled with tears. A smile that is of a Lover.

Ed was speechless for a good few seconds. That smile..

"I'm so sorry" Ed barely managed to let that out.

"You don't have to apologize. I understand. Just.. Take care of yourself Ed."

"I will..."

And with that he started to walk out of the beach. He couldn't understand why exactly he was finding it difficult to walk away from this man. Someone he could not even remember. Every step he took away from Kevin, stabbed his heart with a terrifying vigour.He somehow managed to get into a taxi. He needed to do this. He needed a breather. Somewhere tranquil, somewhere serene... The North. North of Drachill, the most peaceful realm of the planet. And Ed asked the driver to take him to the one place he knew that could bring him peace.. away from all these.

Kevin could hear the taxi leaving. But he could feel Ed, drifting away from him. He kept looking at the sun which was already half hidden inside the sea inviting the darkness to take over. He could feel his heart beating as loud as the sound of the waves breaking. He placed his hand on his chest. And through the fabric of his linen shirt he could touch it. The white gold ring that rested so close to his heart. Then he whispered...

"You are the real thing for me......."
