Chapter Five.
Ryder's POV
After days and nights, my brothers and I returned to meet Avery.
I was so excited to find Avery. I was convinced that the time given was enough for her to make a good decision.
After hours of looking for her, I had bad intuitions. I knew something bad happened to her. It was so difficult to find her.
I mind linked to her, at least to know if her heart was still beating.
I was weary especially after finding out that the beatings I heard were faint.
Liam and Aiden were as worried as I was. We made a team as usual to start looking for her.
Ten Hours Later…
I finally found her. The hunters were brutally killed and after many things were done to get her healed, my brothers found out that Avery had Amnesia.
She could not remember who they were and what they wanted.
She continued with self defense. That made it difficult for me to come around her. It made it difficult for me to care for her. But because of the bond I knew shared with her, I was adamant.
It has been so long before I could actually find a mate. This time around, it was not only for me, it was for my brother and I.
It was so hard to find out that she wouldn't remember the best of her memories with us. I felt bad, sad, and every other thing in-between.
The evening was different, and I felt like I was fighting for something different. It was something I never had.
I walked subtly into the room. "How is everything going," I said, without even actually looking at what was going on in the room.
"Not too well," Aiden replied with the back of his hands on his forehead.
"You guys should let me be, you are not in any way supposed to be here. You are not people I know," Avery was terrified.
Our intentions were thwarted. There was no intention of harming her, but her sudden ailment made things more difficult for us.
"Didn't you give her the evening shot?"
"No, I thought you did," I replied. I actually had to watch out for her, but then I was so hard on my own thoughts.
I was feeling guilty. My brothers turned to me, all the blames were painted on me.
"I know I should have given her the shot, but I just forgot.
"Really?" My brothers chorused. I was stunned, speechless, and taken aback.
We started giving her a lot of treatments, and it was all for the purpose of making her better.
I walked out of the room and they continued with having to convince Avery about her behavior—one she was not aware about.
I felt bad that she was beaten, and treated badly. To end it all, I was feeling worse after realizing that I couldn't help her, especially when she needed me most.
There was way too much on the table. I didn't know where and how to start from. I wanted to know who sent those hunters and exactly what prompted them to act that way.
"Ryder," I heard my name from behind. I turned and when I saw it was my brother, Liam.
"Yeah, I will continue apologizing. I didn't actually remember that it was my turn." I regretted my actions so badly.
"You don't have to worry, she's all good. At least, she is back to her apartment without us having to help her out with the usual," Liam explained.
It made me feel worse. If I gave her the shot of medicine, she would have remained calm.
She should have slept better and while getting the little necessities she needed.
I failed, and I could not get over it.
Avery returned home because she was not able to recognize us. It was sad, bewildering and something I found so hard to believe.
It was just yesterday.
"I'm worried too, but at this point there's nothing we can do," Aiden came around.
"You are actually just going to have to do what you can in your power,"he added.
I decided that since she lost her memory, I was going to create new ones. I started doing things I know I disliked doing.
I hated being the one to drive my brothers to wherever we were going.
I made sure I stood with my brothers and we watched out for Avery. It was then noticeable she lost the memories after I met her.
"Damn!"
My sole purpose was making sure she wasn't bullied. The other claimed she was cursed, but I came with my brothers and I claimed that it was now blessings all the way.
In the midst of everything, I was confused and filled with fear because I could see how drawn my brothers were to her.
I was swimming in a lot of questions, but the one that pressed most was how the three of us would share a mate.
Avery's POV
I was trying to have a good grasp of what to believe. I took out some time to go back to my old pictures. I could not remember them. I was fighting with myself, and when I tried harder, I felt like I was going to lose it.
I felt like I destroyed my striking and breaking limit.
I was marveled at the way I could not remember having to have a time, or talk to the handsome men who looked like triplets.
It was time for break and I walked down the hallway to brunch on my own.
I didn't have enough time to get ready and make some breakfast for myself as well.
I got what I wanted, and I found a place to settle down. When I did, I saw something that made my struggles the easiest.
I could recognize it—I was staring at the stick that was used by Natasha. She used the stick to bully me and push me away from other members of the pack because I lacked a wolf.
A lot of things became clear, the first one was that I could see that the triplets were telling the truth all along. It was so hard to go back.
It was so hard to show them that I am trying my best to get better.
I didn't know which path to take; being with them, or staying with them.
It became a rough battle in my mind.
