Chapter Twenty-Eight - Road to Healing

Ivan Romanov's P.O.V.

Mid-March.

Location: En-Route to the Central Kingdom.

Currently it's the first week of us being on a ship that will bring us to the central kingdom and so far I'm loving it. Edgar? Not so much. The poor man has been terribly seasick but I must admit that watching him grumble curses at the water is quite funny.

As soon as we had set sail my memory of how much I love the water and any water activities came back. Alongside that, my memory of my family came back and I remembered that I have another sister and brother, Ayla and Mikhail. Ayla is my twin whereas Mikhail and Misha are twins. I also remember my parents and what everyone looks like.

I remembered when dad taught me how to swim and always joined me whenever I wanted to go kayaking, water skiing, surfing and sailing. Of course, mom would always scold him for the possibility of me getting hurt but he would always sneak me out.

"By that smile on your face I'd say you've remembered something!" I look up as Edgar walks over to me.

"I remember my family, the Romanovs. Bits and pieces about me and my life are coming back a lot quicker now." I grin excitedly as he takes a seat opposite me.

"You're nearly there, Ivan. I'm sure that by the time we reach the castle you'll remember most of your life if not all of it." He pats my shoulder before we lapse into silence.

I look back out at the sea again as the blue waters glint under the evening sun's rays. I keep remembering a pair of gorgeous blue eyes but I don't know who they belong to. Every time I remember them though I get lost in my thoughts.

I play with the gold band that now sits on my ring finger. Edgar had given it to me when we were in the carriage. Apparently I had it on when he found me. He told me that I have a mate and married her last October. Unfortunately, he didn't have a picture to show me but I feel like the eyes I keep remembering are hers. Amelia.

I wish I could remember our memories together.

"I know you can show me my memories. Please, can I see my mate?" I beg my beasts.

They have been very hesitant and scared to reveal my memories to me as the first time they tried I suffered a great deal of pain in my head. It had been too much to handle and the memories had overloaded my mind. However, I have felt them helping me to recover my memories by showing me small bits and pieces.

"We just don't want anything to happen to you again, Ivan." Konstantin sighs as he paces around in my mind anxiously.

"You are our priority. We want you to heal, not go back to square one." Maksim adds in before addressing Kon. "However, we could try?"

"Please! I just want to see her. I know those eyes are hers and its been driving me crazy not being able to remember what she looks like." I plead with them but mostly Konstantin as he's the most stubborn.

"Fine. But you must tell us immediately if you start to feel pain." He grumbles before sitting down.

"I will, I promise!" I grin excitedly.

It's quiet for a moment before they show me some memories of her. She has long wavy brown hair with the most beautifully unique blue eyes. Her smile is enchanting and she's got the softest features. My breath is taken away immediately as I take her in. She's sweet yet sassy and her rosy cheeks make her look so delicate. Her figure is slender and she's smaller than me, only reaching up to my shoulders. But whenever I've held her she fits perfectly against me, made just for me.
