Lost

Chapter 2

Two shattered hearts, one consoling itself with the best memories of its life while the other one is taking the help of traces of hidden memories buried deep inside the brain.

Third person's P.O.V

A huge castle standing in its ecstatic glory, representing werewolf culture while each portion of this huge fort was screaming royalty. The brown colored outer walls preserving the secrets hid within the depths of this castle, surrounded by thick vegetation, the dense forest protecting it from the outside world. The moat filled with water around the fortification is home to several creatures and beautifies the already enchanting castle, it has a drawbridge across it that was drawn up. The outer curtain wall was thick, high and made of brick and contain several battlements on top like arrow loops, wooden walkways, hoardings, etc. Tall, round towers were surrounding the castle and were higher than the walls containing arrow loops and hoardings. Its been centuries since this castle was constructed by werewolves' ancestors for the alpha king and it has been passed down from generation to generation. The inner walls of the castle are engraved with ancient scripts and several sculptures are arranged throughout the fort which symbolizes their early lifestyle and wars they faced while trying to preserve the existence of their species. There is a large number of guards patrolling outside as well as inside the castle ensuring the palace as well as their king's security. The ancient creation is beautiful from inside as well, huge gardens covered with colorful flowers, lush vegetation, fountains, benches, swimming pool, the chapels containing antique sculptures of the moon goddess, splendid ballrooms with bright color combinations of walls, huge chandeliers, and ancient paintings, king and queen's chambers decorated in the most elegant way possible and a lot many things that will leave you spell-bound. However, the basement of the palace has soon deep secrets buried within them and are accessible to the only king and some trusted elder members. 

Several elders and alphas of different packs were sitting in a huge hall also known as the throne room. It is one of the most essential chambers of the fort as here the discussion regarding important matters takes place. It was a large room with golden and blue colored walls, the portraits of previous alpha kings framed in gold frames were hung on the walls. A large chandelier made of diamonds and gold was hanging at the center. Several antique decorative pieces were kept in the room, a blue velvet carpet trails the center of the room leading to the magnificent throne made of gold and placed in the center of the room. Numerous blue colored couches were arranged beside the carpet. All the members present in the throne room were waiting for their king. As soon as the doors of the throne room opened, all the members stood up and bowed their heads down with respect. The current alpha king 'Xavier' made his way into the hall and proceeded towards the throne. He is a muscular man with high cheekbones, black hairs, light stubble, and black hypnotizing orbs. He was well built and you can sense the dominant aura radiating through him. He was dressed up in a black three-piece suit accompanied by a maroon-colored robe with gold trim and a train trailing behind it. He was wearing a crown made of gold, diamonds, and ruby. 

He sat on his throne and the rest of the members took their positions as well.

"King Xavier, we are glad that you made time for this meeting. There are certain things that need to be discussed as soon as possible." An elder member spoke while Xavier nods in agreement. 

"King Xavier, there were no attacks on our packs for a few days. It seems as if the conditions are becoming normal once again." The alpha of moonlight pack spoke. "But we all have some doubts majesty and if you permit us then we can express our concerns." The alpha hesitated a bit. 

"Go ahead, Alpha Damon." Xavier's deep husky voice echoed in the entire hall making everyone tense. 

"Your majesty, we all were wondering that the attacks over our packs occurred as soon as your mate entered our world, now that she isn't here everything seems to be fine. Don't you think, she is associated with these sudden attacks?" The alpha gulped down as soon as he saw Xavier's expressions. 

Xavier growled loudly making everyone shiver in fear, his jaw clenched, eyes darkened, his wolf was over the edge trying to come out and snap the neck of the alpha who dared to question his mate's innocence. His knuckles turned white as he tried to control his wolf and after some time he glanced the alpha who disrespected his mate. 

"So, according to you, my mate is responsible for this destruction." He grits his teeth and continued, "Who the hell you think you are? How dare you disrespect my mate and your queen? She doesn't belong to this supernatural world, she didn't know anything regarding us before she came here. Yet you have the nerve to accuse her. I can bare anything other than disrespect subjected towards me and my mate." His harsh voice booming around the room can make even the badass alpha nervous. 

"But we can't ignore the facts, your majesty." The alpha was about to continue when he was thrown across the room, his cheek swelled due to the hard impact of the punch delivered on his face. He glanced at the angry king who stood above him. Xavier leans down and grabs Damon's collar harshly. "Now listen to me carefully pup, my mate isn't here that doesn't give you the right to humiliate her in any form. She's very precious to me and I won't tolerate any wrong words about her." He yanked him away and walked out of the throne room.

Xavier's P.O.V

I still remember the day when I met my destined mate for the first time. She was screaming in frustration and trying to curse me with her pretty mouth for kidnapping her. I was amused by her reactions while she was becoming angrier with every passing second. My feisty mate knows how to deal with badass alphas who tried to question her abilities. She's the one who made me feel like I am the only man who's blessed with such a pure angel, her innocence is enough for taming the beast hidden inside me, her angry self is difficult to resist and her love always completes me. She's the only girl who can test my limits, mess up with my brain, love me madly and now she's gonna hate me for putting her into a helpless state. Yes, she's the one whom I love madly without expecting anything but when it comes to her safety then I can sacrifice my life for her, I will dedicate my everything for her well being. Though she isn't present her at this moment yet she affects me a lot. I was about to snap an alpha's neck for disrespecting her which is enough for signifying how much she means to me. How much I want to embrace myself within her comforting arms, I want to cherish the sweet smile that forms on her face whenever she's happy and if the reason behind her happiness is me then I will give my everything just to make her smile once more. I want to get lost into her innocent brown orbs just the way I became hypnotized two years ago when I met her for the first time, I want to trail my fingers into her chestnut brown hairs feeling their softness. Her addictive scent of honeysuckle always attracts me towards her, I remember how I used to seek my peace while immersing my face into the crook of her neck, how we kissed for the first time, the feel of her soft pink petals still lingering on my lips, the best moment of the life when we mated and I marked her as mine. 

Being an alpha king, I'm blessed with several powers for the protection of the werewolf species. I hate to admit but I had to use those powers on my mate for protecting her against the dangers surrounding her. My heart clenched when I saw her vulnerable self when she was trying to convince me regarding my decision of sending her away. My eyes were filled with unshed tears, my wolf was whimpering in pain but he didn't interrupt my decision because he knew very well that I was doing it for my mate's safety. I erased all our beautiful memories from her brain and with a heavy heart, I hid her mark as well. I dropped her into the human world and appointed my best men for safeguarding her. 

I tried to control her brain but I never realize that our mating bond will create hurdles in this process. The mating bond is a very essential connection of our souls. How can I control her brain when my soul is linked with her? How can I make her forget my existence when she's carrying a part of me within herself? I can feel her every emotion as our bond is still acting like a cupid between us. I sensed her helplessness when she wasn't able to remember anything regarding the last two years of her life she spent with me, her sadness when she thought that she won't be able to reconnect with herself, her stress when she was trying to think about the missing chunk of her life, the worst of all when she screamed in pain or I would say my pain. Yesterday, I was fighting some rogues who were creating trouble in northern packs for few days and got injured while fighting them. At that time, I heard her screamings through our link along with several other emotions like confusion, pain, vulnerability. She can't feel my emotions because I'm blocking her out but I can't block my pain as she's wearing my mark. My wolf whimpered when he felt his mate's distress. Funny, how a savage alpha king who is notorious for his ruthlessness has become a big black puppy in front of his mate. 

The balcony where I'm standing reminds me of our last few moments together, how she was standing here wearing my shirt enjoying the feel of the cool breeze on her skin, admiring the moon while seeking the comfort of my protective arms wrapped around her waist. She was enjoying the outside view while I was enjoying her cuteness. I can still sense her powerful scent, the warmth of her petite body and believe me, it's torturing. One day she will come back to me and its a promise to myself that I won't let her go away this time. 

Wait for me mate because you belong to me just the way I belong to you. 

We belong together and no one can separate us.

Third person's P.O.V

He was lost within his peaceful world that is away from all the problems, a world where he lives with the memories of his mate. The barrier between the normal and supernatural world is preventing their togetherness but the link connecting them as each other's mates is still letting them explore the hidden emotions of each other. Xavier can feel Skylar's sentiments but she can only feel the traces of their togetherness. Fate always plays a big role in relationships, some relationships have good fate while some have horrible ones but how can we decide what's written in their destiny as their journey has just started. They have a lot of challenges ahead, the path of reunion might be difficult but love will always find its way.

Skylar was standing in her room's balcony observing the full moon while remising the traces of the flashbacks she witnessed before surrendering herself into the world of darkness. She felt connected with it as if some lost connection was associated with the moon. Her fingers trail the spot between the curve of her neck and shoulder where Xavier's mark is hidden, a series of tingles shot within her body making her feel complete while on the other side Xavier also felt the peace when his mate caressed his creation on her body, he closed his eyes imagined her face and teleported the emotions of love through their bond for comforting his love and ensuring her that he's always there for her even when they are away she will always find him within her, his presence will always soothe her. An involuntary smile appeared on Skylar's face when she felt her mate's presence. She doesn't remember him yet his presence, his love, his care will always comfort her, subconsciously she transferred her affection towards Xavier without knowing anything while Xavier smiled whole-heartedly after feeling his mate's affection.

They are away physically but are connected mentally and no power can erase the effect of the mating bonds. 

-------------------------------------------------------

The path of togetherness is rough and patchy but the destination is beautiful and worthy.
