Chapter 62
Donovon’s POV
Cole sits on the chair while crossing his legs on the table as Wyatt paces in the small cabin room running his hands through his hair.
“Correct me if I am wrong.” Wyatt stops in front of me and raises his eyebrows, “You are saying that once you black out you don’t remember anything... like the entire day is wiped out of your memory.”
“Yes.” I nod my head, “I just have this nagging feeling in my head that I am forgetting something, but other than that the day never exists for me.”
“Just like she didn’t exist for you...“Cole adds there is a hint of anger in his voice. “You didn’t even acknowledge her existence when you woke up.”
Swallowing, I nod my head as guilt weighs down my heart as a slow headache starts to build inside my head when I attempt to think how I have hurt her.
“What changed?” He asks, as even Wyatt expectantly looks at me for my answer.
“I don’t know...” I reply honestly, rubbing my temples, “I can’t remember, I could only feel something big had happened like something is missing from inside me... Earlier my heart, it was numb like there were no feelings, but now it is not like that. I can sense my true feelings were concealed from me, but now each day they are becoming clear. The emptiness is still inside me, but at the same time, my heart knows that I love her.” The pain starts to increase in my head as unknowingly my mind starts thinking about her... trying to remember her.
“It is happening, my head feels like it is tearing apart.” I hold my head tightly in my hands as I start to hear voices, “Different voices are ringing in my head now, then this one voice will call me, and soon I will blackout then I will not remember anything of this...” I speak quickly letting them know what’s happening with me.
Suddenly, Cole stands up from his chair and walks to me as I hear the voice.
Donovon, come to...
However, even before I can hear the complete words my eyes roll back into my head as I fall on the floor and everything goes black.
I blink my eyes feeling clueless about what has happened, I half expect Emma to be somewhere around... but confusion hits me when the smell of burger and fries wafts into my nose as I take a breath.
“Sleeping beauty is up.” Cole’s voice reaches my ears as I slowly sit up from the floor holding a sore spot on my head.
My confusion increases along with the throbbing pain on the side of my head.
I feel slightly disoriented when I watch Cole and Wyatt sitting on the other side of the room as Cole takes a large bite from the burger which he is holding in his hand. While there is amusement present on Wyatt’s face.
Suddenly, everything comes back in my mind as I recall hearing those voices and getting unconscious. Everything is the same... hearing voices, then that blacking out, but what different is that I am still in this room and I remember everything. But the question is, how?
“How?” I look at them questioningly, because somewhere I am aware that they know the answer.
“Well, you said when that voice calls you to become unconscious...” Wyatt starts to speak slowly, but amusement clear in his tone, “This idiot here, thought to knock you out even before you can hear that voice.” He nods his head at Cole.
“Since when you will not be able to hear that voice, then how you are going to be forced to follow the command.” Wyatt smiles, while I look at Cole in disbelief.
“You knocked me out?” I ask as my eyebrows shoot up in surprise.
“Yeah, because I can’t let that bimbo win, and also I always wanted to knock you out with a single punch.” Cole smirks, and blows over his fist with a smug look, “Now when I have the opportunity I am not getting let this chance slip from my hand. So every time someone will try to do some weird mumbo jumbo on you, I will shove that mumbo jumbo back into their asses by knocking you out.”
Glancing at him, I can’t stop myself from laughing, as he really found out a way to break the pull until we can permanently lift this curse from me. Soon even they also join me as we all laugh, and for the first time in many days, I am feeling relieved and a newfound hope blooms in my heart.
“You have us, Donovon, we are not going to let them win.” Wyatt gives me an encouraging smile, but then his face turns serious, “But we can’t let Emma and who ever is helping her get suspicious, because we don’t know what they are capable of. So we have to be very careful.”
“Yes, I have to keep pretending that I am unaware of what is happening with me.” I nod my head while clenching my jaws in anger, “Sometimes I even have to let them control me, because otherwise, they will figure something is wrong with their plan.”
“Don’t think about that and ruin this moment of happiness. Now let’s celebrate our first small win, then we will decide what should we do next.” Cole grins.
“They nearly ruined your life, Donovon.... they took away the happiness of our pack by separating us from our Luna.” Wyatt’s face hardens with rage, “They took everything from you. But now we will make them pay for their mistake.”
“Now it is time we are going to play their game in our style,” I smirk as a wave of confidence hums inside me... confidence which was missing in me, “Donovon Whitmore will no longer be a puppet in their hands, I will get back the control of my life.”
Her face flashes before my eyes, but this time it is not just her face... but a memory, she is smiling at something which I have said while my arms are wrapped around her waist as I kiss her head.
I will find my way back to you.
“Ivory...” I whisper as I wait for those voices to come back, but when nothing happened I felt relieved and happy.
I smile to myself because when I have said her name, a feeling of warmth encased my heart filling my heart with hopefulness. Maybe this is the first step towards breaking this curse.
