Chapter 13

-Nathan's POV-

After a thorough examination, the nurse finally lets me off. By the time the nurse had let me off, the school has already ended so I decided to head home to rest. I exchanged goodbyes with Ray and watched as he left the school. I prayed that the school had not informed dad about this incident or else he wouldn't even let me go to school without a bodyguard or a professional doctor by my side. I sighed and skate the way back home.

"Nathan, I heard what happened at school. Mind telling me your side of the story?" He asked the moment I stepped into the house. I groaned and silently cursed at whatever god that didn't even listen to me.

"Nothing much, just a slight pain." I tried lying through my teeth.

"A slight pain wouldn't cause a werewolf to double over and hurt till the verge of passing out now would it." He questioned, eyebrows raised. He looked at me knowingly and I averted my gaze.

"It's nothing much, just a heartache. It has happened many times before just much more serious this time only." I told him the truth, hoping he would not believe it and just let me off. My heart suddenly throbbed with pain, sending me onto my knees as I writhed from the pain. Something was approaching. I don't know why but I know. My nails pierced into my skin as I struggled hard to stay awake. But no more than a mere second, I was welcomed into the darkness of my mind.

When I came to, I could see dad sleeping on a wooden chair near my bed. I made a slight movement with my legs and dad shot up immediately, making me pout at my failure to sneak out of bed.

"How are you feeling?" He asked worriedly. I nodded my head, not really wanting to speak now. I know he knows that something wrong with me. "I already know the answer, but I need to ask you something." He said in a serious tone, making me swallow my saliva nervously.

"Can you remember what happened before you got kidnapped?" He asked.

"I can't, everything that happened before the kidnapping got erased but I can still remember bits and pieces of my past," I told him, knowing that he already knows that.

"Can you remember anyone that you have a close connection with?" He asked for the first time in six months. I looked at him quizzically before searching my memory for any answer.

"There is one but I would say he is only a remotely close friend. Alexandria- the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack." I told him. He seemed to be lost in thoughts before deciding to prepare dinner for that night.

Just as I had thought, Dad wouldn't even let me step out of the house so now I'm just here finishing my part of the project before sending it through an e-mail from Ray. I was thinking about what had happened last night when he asked me about remembering anyone close to me. The scientist in the lab often muttered something about mate-less and reject. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

When dad called me down for dinner, I managed to finish up my project and send the file. As we ate dinner, I could a certain pressure from him. It's like he wants to say something but he wasn't sure of what to say.

"We need to talk for a bit, it concerns you, Nathan." He told me as I started heading back to my room. I took a deep breath and sat down on a couch opposite him.

"This afternoon I called the Crescent Moon Pack to ask about you." He told me. I sighed a little although I had known he would do that. "What I found out is related to your pain."

I was all ears to hear now since I want to know the roots of my problems.

"You had a mate, his name is Terui Knight." He started off. I had a mate...I thought to myself.

"However, both of you had broken your bond. Normally both of you would suffer really bad but he has a replacement mate to take care of that for him while you on the other hand do not have. I would think it is due to your ability to heal that prevents you from suffering too much damage. And you not being to sense or feel your wolf spirit might be because of that too." He continued which left me thinking about the possible reasons as to why I would ever break a bond. But the fact that he has a replacement mate made my heart sank.

"The rest is my speculations; I think that whenever your mate does intercourse with said replacement mate, the remaining effect of the bond would cause you to receive pain. But if it is causing this much pain it means that he is very close to you, so you have felt the full effect of the betrayal." He concluded. I was in deep thoughts. What my dad is saying makes sense but I don't think that that's the only reason as to why but I can't really come up with speculation by myself. I didn't know enough

"Oh, and Alex is coming tomorrow." He said at last.

"What!!" I exclaimed in shock at the sudden announcement. I was panicking inside, like full-on panic mode. How do I act in front of him, it's not like I remember how I was before the kidnapping. Hell, I don't really remember much about the kidnap to begin with.

"Just relax, it would be weirder if he finds you not acting like yourself." My Dad reassured me. I had to go to my room and organize my feelings on it. How do I feel? Frustrated, probably a little mad that he didn't consult me, and very afraid of what is going to happen. How do I even act like myself? I ruffled my hair and faceplant onto the bed, screaming into the pillow before giving up on thinking about it.
