Chapter 6
Laura's POV
I was looking through some stuff in this room. Apparently, I've been here many times before. It's like I live here, but what happened to me? Why was I even there? I looked through everything in the dresser. Apparently, I was in love with an alpha king. But if he loved me, why wasn't I with him?
"Because he is married to his mate," I heard the voice. Startled, I looked around to see where it came from.
"The name is Sassy. I'm your wolf. I know it's going to be weird, Laura, but you need to trust us. It's the only way to gain your powers for what's coming." A wolf talking to me? That's nonsense. And what did she mean by "us"? Am I going crazy? Then, I heard another voice.
"I am your cat. My name is Sissy, and I'm a leopard. We both know this is going to be hard to believe, but trust me, we are telling you the truth. The moon goddess is letting us talk to you. She seems to think the faster you get your powers, the faster you can be back with your mate." Okay, I must be losing it. Another voice in my head, this one was from Jasper.
“Laura, honey, this is Jasper. I know you're scared right now. I'm sorry I wasn't there when you woke up, but I'm here now. Please come back or tell me where you are, and I will come to you.” Jumping into the bed, I covered myself up. I think I'm going insane. Peeking out, I didn't see anyone else in the room. Then I heard voices again.
“Just think with your mind, then tell him what you want to say. It's called Mindlink. He is your mate, Laura. Mate? What the heck is mate?” So I did what the voice said and said what I wanted to say to this Jasper person.
“Jasper, if that's your name, I don't know who you are. I'm not telling you where I am. No one was even in the room to tell me what the heck was going on, why I was there, how long I was there, how I got hurt. Do not link me again. If he tries again, I will ignore him. I don't have time for this. I need to figure out who I am and fast.” Picking up the phone, I called the woman who was downstairs. I hoped it was the same woman from last night.
“This is Lucy. How can I help you today?” I was so glad it was her. I hurriedly asked her to come to my room as I wanted to speak to her in private. She came up a few hours later with muffins on a plate. Good, I was hungry. She set the plate on the table and sat down in the chair. She had long curly brown hair and brown eyes and was about 5'4". I wasn't sure if I could trust her, but I needed a friend and someone to talk to.
“Mrs. Lucy, can you tell me how many times I have rented this room out? I'm a little confused at the moment, so I need to know these things. You see, I woke up in a hospital. I don't know how long I've been there, what has happened to me, or how I was hurt. I feel like I'm going crazy or something.”
I knew there was something wrong when you walked into the lobby last night. You had been gone for three years, Laura. You never come to see me unless there's something for me to do. You have this room because that's the room you like. You say you can see from miles ahead if someone was coming here. You're the one who made me the manager. You also have maids that clean the rooms up. What was this girl telling me? This is not my hotel, right? I just rent a room here, that's all. I needed to know this. Was I going crazy, or was I already insane?
"Lucy, what are you telling me? Do I own this hotel?" I heard her chuckle, and then she said, "We both own this hotel, but you own it more than I do. You always say if anything ever happens to you, this would be mine. You even wrote it up and everything; you kept it in your files. You would go to your pack, then come back here. Then, one day, you said you gave up on the alpha king because you found your true mate. Is any of this making any sense to you at all?" Shaking my head, I said, 'No, nothing is making any sense at all. I don't even remember having this hotel or anything else. What's going on with me? Why can't I remember anything from my past, or do I even own this hotel? How did I get the money for it? Did I steal it, or did I already have it? I just don't know. I think I need to get away from here, but how? Would Lucy come after me? Who was the alpha king, and who was my mate? I am so confused. Maybe I should go back to that hospital so I can figure out my life. Would they tell me anything? Would they let me ask questions, or would they lock me up?" Sighing, I then said,
“Lucy, I wish I knew anything, but I can't remember anything you said. I wrote down everything in case something happened to me. Do you know where I put it?" Getting up from her seat, she went to my dresser, opened it up, moved a few things around, and then brought over some papers for me to look at. Sure enough, I found it – there was an agreement that this hotel would be hers if anything happened to me, written twenty years ago. Sighing, if this was my hotel and I split with Lucy, then I would keep it that way. But tomorrow there is something I need to do. I have to go back and face the people who put me in that hospital. I need to know what happened to me.
“Thank you, Lucy, for coming and answering my questions. Tomorrow, I think I'll be going back to that hospital to find out more answers." She walked out the door, closing it behind her. I lay down in bed, thinking about the questions I would be asking those people.
Unknown POV:
Unknown: "So, any news? Does she remember anything at all?"
“I don't know, but if she is faking it, she's doing a damn good job. She didn't see the bug in the room. This is just way too easy. If we get her now, Jasper has no choice but to step down."
Unknown: "No, we will wait a few weeks and see what she does. Let's watch her little friend and see what's going on. Maybe she's in on this. We just have to watch and see, and when the time is right, we snatch both of them."
