King of the Woods

Part 32

Aakil POV 

I feel like an a**hole.  I know I am being overly harsh to that girl, but I feel like I need to protect her or something. I lied when I said I didn't remember anything a little bit. I don't remember the girl herself, but I feel like before I lost my memories, she used to be someone really important to me. It's kinda sad that I don't remember the people I love the most, but I do remember some of my enemies. One of them being Rehan. 

A few weeks ago, I "killed" Rehan for some reason. I remember he is very evil and wanted to take away someone really precious away from me. I believe it to be the girl based off her accident story. It seemed like we were close. Additionally, my supposed sister and brother (who I still don't remember) told me more about her. I also felt like arrows were piercing my heart every time I yelled at her. She was definitely someone very important to me. 

Back to Rehan. He is the king of the souls and the dead. Obviously, it wouldn't be that easy to kill him. The time before, I knocked him out temporarily, in order to console that girl. I don't remember anything else about her though. All I know is that she needed to be safe. I assigned two of my werewolf friends - Tarit and Tara - to take care of her. She needed to be safe, and I think it is dangerous for both of us in the same place with Rehan wandering around looking for us. I still need to find out to kill that piece of sh*t.

I sense that he is really angry at me for taking away what is supposedly "his." I growl out loud at the thought, but I am not completely sure why. My inner demon, Aniket, still hasn't woken up yet. I think it is because he is weak without his mate. With me not remembering her and the distance between us, he seemed to lock away himself in the back of my mind. 

Don't get me wrong. Currently, I don't feel love for...Kaaya...but I just feel the need to protect her. It is not me, but the more animalistic part of me. I don't remember her. But, I still need to protect her. My door opens and I try to sit up, despite almost every physical part of my body being broken. My tentacles have also gone numb from the lack of use. 

My supposed sister, Drika, walks in. She looks at me in pity and resist the urge to growl. I don't like when people think of me as weak. 

"Aakil. Why would you send Kaaya away like that? Do you know how dangerous it was for her. Especially when she just got out of her wheelchair and started walking?!" She screams at me. I flinch. She didn't even ask about me. Before I could confront her, she quickly adds something. "Oh and Aakil, how are you feeling?" I glare at her and she sheepishly smiles. 

I can't tell anyone about my plan to Kaaya safe yet. It's not that I can't trust them...wait, it IS because I can't trust them, I hardly know them. I just reply with a curt "fine" and she rolls her eyes and leaves the room. I feel an emptiness building inside of me, but I ignore it. 

I still have to remember, I am surrounded by a world of strangers who know me, but I don't know them. Secretly, I hope that Kaaya can help get the warmth of my memories back because I don't want to stay in this dark, cold world forever.
