I see him lean his face closer and stop him with my hand while looking him in the eyes.
“Where had her wolf been, and how could she come back to her?” I asked the doctor while looking closely into Darian’s eyes.
“She told me her wolf recognized her mate’s bond from before and managed to come back with the help of it,” he says when I feel my lower lip quiver. Could I have her back?
“Then wouldn’t it mean anyone who has lost their wolf could get them back if they were marked by their new mate? Not the same as before?” I ask him, still looking at Darian.
“That’s the thing here! Of all the ones I have looked into, she is the only one that got her wolf back, and I believe it has to do with her being mated to him the first time and he having marked her before he
rejected her. That’s how she described it to me, her wolf recognized his bite and could find her way back to her with the help of his bond,” he says when I feel tears prick behind my eyelids at his words.
I never thought there could be any chance to have her back in my life, to be able to feel whole and strong again. The way I used to feel when I had her with me
“Let me mark you!” Darian says while my tears slip over and run down my cheeks. He takes his hand from my waist and wipes them off before he places his hand on my cheek.
“Is it guaranteed she will come back?” I ask the doctor when Darian traces his thumb over my bottom lip while I try to form my words. I have a lump in my throat, and tears slowly slip over when I try to collect myself and think clearly.
“I’m not going to lie to you!” the doctor says, and I turn my head to look at him, where he sits by the table and has leaned forward and placed an arm on the desk.
He looks seriously at me when our eyes meet.
“Of all the doctors I have talked to in search of anything similar to your case, she is the only one I have found that got her wolf back. The rest that lost theirs, never got their wolf back after they were marked and mated to a new one. That’s all I can tell you,” he says when there is a knock on his office door.
A nurse opens the door and comes walking inside to place a folder on his desk before she turns around, quickly walks out again, and closes the door after her.
All the information I have gathered is in the folders, you can take your time and go through them if you want. I talked to her and asked if there was anything they did before he marked her, and she said it wasn’t anything other than that she had marked him first. I believe when the bond became complete and strong, it might have helped her wolf, but that’s just my theory,” the doctor says, pushing the folders further forward on the desk before he rises and walks around it.
“Did she say where her wolf had been?” I have to ask him, I want to know all I can about this.
“She could only describe it as her wolf getting lost with the pain that comes from being rejected and cut off from her pack. She lost all her strength and the connection they had in her grief. All her wolf could see was darkness for years,” he says, starting to head for the door. I follow him with my eyes when he reaches over to it.
“That’s it?” I ask him before he opens the door. He stops and turns to look at us.
“I’m sorry, but this is all the information I’ve got. I wish I could have some more answers for you,” he says giving us a nod before he opens the door and walks right out.
Seeing the door close, I try to take all this information in. It’s a lot to try to wrap my head around when I feel Darian pull my body flat against his.
His strong arms wrap around me, and when I place my head on his chest, his scent calms my mind.
“It doesn’t change anything if you get your wolf back or not, you are my mate and. Thrust the moon goddess and let me mark you,” he says when I feel through the bond. His hope it will help me get her back.
I would lie if I said it didn’t matter if I got my wolf back or not. For a very long time, I hoped and begged her to come back to me, to help me feel strong and not alone. There have been many times through these years that I have cried over losing her and wanted nothing more than to talk to her again.
At one point. I had to realize she was gone for good, and there was nothing else for me to do than pick up the pieces and move on with my life for Noah’s sake.
Standing here now and knowing I might be able to get her back is overwhelming, and nothing I could ever have imagined would happen.
All this hope that has ignited in me, and at the same time, I’m not ready to face the truth of it if she doesn’t come back once he marks me. Maybe it’s stupid of me to want to live with the hope for a moment that I could get her back.
“Aliza, talk to me,” he says, letting go of me when he holds his hands on either side of my head and looks me right in the eyes. It doesn’t make it better when I feel the hope he has through the bond.
“I can’t right now!” I whisper out and try to avert my head, but he holds it in place.
“Why?” he says, holding my gaze with his. How can I explain this to him and make him understand it from my side?
“I begged for a long time for her to come back. I needed her when I had no one else, all I wanted was her to come back to me,” I say when I see his eyes get darker and guilt comes through the bond.
“I had to realize she was gone for good and make the best of it. When I had Noah, he became the light in my life. I know this is hard to understand, but I just got hope I might get her back, and I’m not ready to let go of the hope!” I say when he is about to say something, but I’m quicker
“I’m not saying you will never mark me, I just want to look through the files and prepare myself for it. I know it will hurt if I don’t get her back!” I say when I see his eyes flicker, and he lets go of my head and pulls me closer to him instead.
His hot breath travels down my neck and to my shoulder when I feel him take a deep inhale of it.
“I can’t let you walk around unmarked,” he says, pressing his lips against my shoulder.
