As night falls, I become even more terrified.I thought my confusion centered around Kole alone, and that once I reached clarity on that, then I’d be set with everything else.And I have reached clarity on that. I realize now he was just using me, laughing at me. He was mocking me like all the others.Yet there are other things that have yet to come into focus as well.I don’t remember much and more and more of my memory is slipping away as I walk away from him.It’s like my mind is unraveling and I don’t know where to go. I don’t know what to do.I walk in circles, trying to figure things out.Where should I go? What should I do?Where do I belong?I don’t even know if I have a home. Or if I do have a home, where that home is. I don’t know anything and that terrifies me. It feels like I can’t trust my own mind.Because I can’t. I can’t trust my own mind when it tricks me like this. And I’m terrified because what am I missing?Will I ever find it again?I’m terrified

As Catherine walks away, I realize I have no choice but to follow her. Even though she’s the reason I’m in this position, she’s the only lifeline I have. I hate her.I need her.“Why would you do this to me?” I ask her, as I follow her through the woods.“Because I’m trying to protect you,” she says. “I’m your friend, Kierra. I’m just trying to protect you.“The potion has helped you see things clearly when you were turning a blind eye to them before. You see that Kole has bad intentions now. Before, you suspected it, but now you know for sure.”As she says that, I remember being suspicious of Kole before all of this. “I left him because of that,” I say. “I’m not sure why I’m telling you this, other than it seems to help me understand things better when I say them out loud.“But I did break things off with him at one point of time. Because I worried he’d hurt me like everyone else has.“Well, I guess my pack didn’t mean to hurt me. They didn’t want to leave me. But you kno

The next few days are terrifying as I struggle through the forest, trying to find someone who can help me. Finally, I reach the small gathering of witches, sorcerers, and other magical folks that keep their distance while being the hot spot for people who need that extra help. It has a cute charm to it, where psychics offer to read fortunes, there are shops for doing magic, and other wares I wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else.I’m looking for one thing in particular though.I go straight into the potions shop.The woman running it is kind of intimidating with dark hair and red eyes that look like they’re ready to ooze blood. She gives me this wicked smile that makes me want to run.But I need to get through this haze. I need to work this out. It’s worth the risk.“Good afternoon,” she says, in a voice that’s utterly whimsical. “I don’t think I’ve seen you in here before, which is wonderful.“New customers are my favorite. Can I interest you in a long discussion about poti

“You know this is what you want,” Catherine says, as she comes over and kisses me.Kissing her feels nothing like kissing Kierra, which is part of the reason I allow Catherine to kiss me.My heart is shattered, bleeding. Kierra is gone and she’s made it clear so many times that she doesn’t want to be with me.It’s awful because I want to be with her more than I’ve ever wanted to be with anyone else. I love her. She’s my mate.She can’t see it though. She’s never going to see it. She wants me to be away from her.So, I try to distract myself with Catherine. I’m trying to respect Kierra’s wishes in that way. I’m trying to be a good mate.It’s hard though. When doing what Kierra wants means being with someone else, it’s the most difficult thing I’ve done.“I want Kierra,” I admit.Catherine’s body goes ridged and I hate how I keep hurting her.“I’m sorry,” I say. “But it’s true. I want you to know it’s true before we go through with this. So you can decide if you don’t want to go

“I need to find Kole,” I say, once I take the first dose of the potion.“How clear is your mind?” Norah asks. “What are your feelings for him now?”I’ve grown to know her better as we waited for the potion to stew, so she knows all about what happened with Kole and I. She knows that I need to remember everything about him so I can make a solid decision.“I’m not sure,” I admit. “My mind is a bit clearer now though. I’m remembering things more. I feel like I’d be able to function again.“But I’m not sure exactly how I feel about Kole. My mind is still hazy with him. I don’t trust him. I don’t know if I love him.”“But you feel like you need to find him,” Norah says.“Yes,” I reply. “I have this intense need and desire to find him. It feels like it’s the most important thing in my life right now. It’s difficult to explain but…”“It’s the oddity of mates,” Norah says in an understanding tone. “That connection is one that no one can quite comprehend or explain, no matter how many pe

The panic that I won’t get there in time drives me forward even faster. It’s strange because I still don’t quite know why I feel the urge to be there. I don’t know exactly how I feel about Kole.But I know I need to be near him.I know I need to figure things out.So, I run in my wolf form, since it’s the quickest way for me to get around. And I keep running without pause. I push myself faster, faster.I’m almost at the waterfall when I’m stopped by a copper-colored wolf. We quickly shift into human form because I get the sense that this wolf isn’t my foe. Though once I see her for who she is, I’m not too sure of that anymore.“What are you doing here?” Catherine asks with a mean glint in her eye.“I’m here to talk to Kole,” I say. “I need to see him. I need to sort this out.”Catherine crosses her arms over her chest. “I thought you already had everything sorted.”“Right,” I scoff. “You just thought the potion would work better than it has. You thought I’d be gone for good

“Give me the potion back!” I say, knocking into Catherine in my wolf form.I’m usually not the type to be aggressive. I let people walk all over me. But I’m done with that.I keep almost losing Kole over it, so now I’m down with being weak. I’m done with not fighting back.I’m going to be strong.I’m going to stand up for myself.I’m going to figure this out, no matter what it takes.“You’re crazy!” Catherine says, shifting as I tumble into her.She tries to lash at me, stopping my attack.I counter, trying to subdue her. Kole watches in shock as Catherine and I fight, scrambling along the ground for that precious antidote. “Stop!” Kole says, as Catherine nips me. “What is going on.”Catherine shifts into human form so she looks like the rational one while I stay in my wolf form.I have her pinned to the ground, completely in control of this situation.Maybe Kole is judging me for it.I don’t care what it looks like.This has honestly become about more than just him. I

It’s the day I’ve been waiting for my whole life. The day I always knew would be special, but never quite as amazing as this.I finish my braiding my hair and place the veil with the gold circlet on my head. I look in the mirror and see a vision of my dreams coming true in front of me.My cream-colored dress hits every curve perfectly. The lace gives it that extra, added touch. With diamonds to adorn the bodice. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted.He’s everything I’ve wanted. I know that the groom isn’t supposed to see the bride until I walk down the aisle, but I want to see him so badly. I need to be near him. Being apart like this is a special kind of torture.“I love you,” I say, looking at a picture of Kole. “I will always love. My heart is forever yours.”Finally, satisfied with the look, I leave the cabin I’ve been getting ready in and the music starts. We decided on an original song written just for us, rather than going with the traditional wedding march. I step in time wi
