“Xavien, it’s me,” I whispered, my voice on the verge of breaking. For a moment, I feared he was lost to me.
He gazed at me, a deep confusion etched in his features. “I don’t remember everything” he confessed, his voice gentle yet strained. “Your face is familiar, but recalling it is like trying to catch water–it slips away.”
Tears clouded my eyes as I clung to his hands. “It’s alright,” I assured him, forcing a smile. “What matters is that you’re here now.”
The doctors had insisted Alpha Xavien remain at the hospital for further
observation. The yacht accident had left him with partial amnesia, and they needed to monitor his recovery.

I was by his side every day, recounting our shared moments, even when it was painful to witness his struggle to remember.
“Do you recall our trip to the vineyard in
- Tuscany?” I asked one afternoon as I sat beside him. “You said you’d never tasted wine so exquisite, and you tried to smuggle a bottle for us to take home.”
A faint chuckle escaped him, his eyes softening. “I think I remember that. Was it the red wine? And it was raining?”
“Yes!” I exclaimed, my heart swelling with hope. “We got drenched running back to the
car.”
His smile wavered, and he ran a hand through his hair in frustration. “Everything’s still so hazy, Luna Camille. I despise this-

this not knowing.”
“It will come back, I reassured him, placing my hand over his. “We’ll face this together.”
Osbert visited frequently, also grappling with ⚫ the enigma of how he and Alpha Xavien had
been separated.
“It must have been a family matter, Osbert suggested one evening as we sat in the hospital room. “Perhaps our parents couldn’t keep us both, or something happened. I grew up in an orphanage, never knowing I had a twin.”
Alpha Xavien nodded, his gaze distant. “I’ll solve it in time. But right now, my focus is on regaining my life with Camille–and us.”
While Alpha Xavien worked to restore his memories, the chaos surrounding Audrey

continued to intensify.
She was imprisoned, yet without Alpha Xavien’s complete recollection or solid evidence, the trial stood at an impasse. Reports from the jail painted a picture of ⚫ her unraveling, her mental state rapidly
deteriorating.
Alpha Xavien’s frustration was palpable.
One night, he broached the subject of the baby.
“Camille, he began, his voice quivering. “I heard… about the baby. That you lost it.”
I swallowed hard, the ache in my chest reawakening. “Yes,” I replied softly.
His jaw clenched, guilt shadowing his expression. “It’s my fault,” he murmured. “If I

hadn’t gone after Audrey, if I had just-”
“Stop,” I interjected, gripping his hand. “It’s not your fault, Xavien. What’s important is that you’re here. The past is unchangeable, but we can move forward. Together.”
He nodded, though the guilt lingered in his
eyes.
A week later, everything shifted.
A package arrived at the hospital, addressed to me. Inside was a cassette tape and a letter from Alpha Thomas.
I hesitated, my fingers trembling as I unfolded the paper.
Camille,
I know I can never make up for what I’ve

done, but I want you to have this. Consider it my way of helping you get the justice you deserve.
The tape contains Audrey’s plans-
everything she did to you and Alpha Xavien.
- The mall, the accident, even her plot to harm. your baby. She orchestrated it all.
I hope you’ll find closure in this and maybe, one day, forgive me.
-Alpha Thomas
Tears brimmed in my eyes as I read his words. For the first time, I felt something other than anger toward him.
The tape exposed Audrey’s full confession, her voice cold and calculated as she detailed every aspect of her schemes. Hearing it was chilling, but it was the evidence we

desperately needed.
With this, the trial finally advanced.
I wrote back to Alpha Thomas, expressing my gratitude. For the first time, I forgave him.
Audrey was found guilty on all charges and sentenced to life in prison. No more threats, no more chaos.
Meanwhile, Alpha Xavien was making strides.
After weeks of therapy and constant reminders, fragments of his memories began to return.
One afternoon, as we sat in the hospital garden, he looked at me with a flicker of recognition.

A few days later, during a therapy session, more pieces clicked into place.
“I was following someone,” he said, his brows knitting as he focused intently. “On ⚫ the yacht. Audrey. I was trying to catch up to
her”
“That’s right,‘ I encouraged, nodding.
“And then…” He paused, his eyes distant. “The crash. I hit something, and I remember falling into the water.”
“You’re remembering,” I said, my voice thick with hope.
He nodded slowly, his hand reaching out to cover mine. “And I remember you. I remember loving you, Camille.”
