When I woke up again it was dark outside. I stretched and rolled over onto my back staring up at the ceiling.

"You look beautiful when you sleep Laylah." The voice said, as if testing my name on his tongue. I jumped a little but I refuse to let him know I was scared. He doesn't deserve to know that I feel for him. I mean how could he forget his own mate? Didn't he feel the sparks when I hugged him earlier.

"Thank you, Alpha Justice." I replied coldly and I heard his breath a sharp intake of breath. I smirked to myself in the dark.

"I'm sorry that I can't remember you. I wish I did." He said softly. The tone of his voice erupting butterflies inside of my tummy. But I refused to give in to it.

"They say I have short term memory loss."

"Who said?" I couldn't help but ask.

"The pact doctor. My mom and dad. Everyone."

"Well I'm sorry to hear that Demetri." He sighed. I sat up in the middle of the bed and turned to face him.

"Demetri, I'm not sure what you want me to say. How you want me to feel. How could you forget me? Didn't you feel the sparks when I hugged you?" I asked on the verge of tears. I couldn't believe this was my fate. Just what in the hell did the moon goddess have up her sleeve?

"I felt nothing Laylah. Not one damn tingle or spark. Are you sure I'm your mate?" He asked me. His voice sounded harsh with a hint of hurt. As if it hurt him to say this. He had to be lying.

I reached over and turned on the light. I had to see his face. This couldn't be life.

"Look me in my eyes and tell me this is real. That you really have short term memory loss. That you don't remember me. That you didn't feel anything when I hugged you earlier today." I said with my arms folded across my chest.

He shocked me by moving closer, grabbing for my hands and looking me deep in my eyes.

"No Laylah, I don't remember you, and no I didn't feel anything when you hugged me earlier, and I don't feel anything touching you now." He said, never breaking eye contact. His voice was rough, as if it pained him to say these things to me. But he did what I asked and though it broke my heart. A part of me believed him. But there was something nagging me, telling me that this wasn't real. Not to believe him. His eyes. His eyes I seen the truth. No matter what his mouth said, I knew he knew me. Somewhere deep down.

"Please Demetri, just leave. Leave and never come back. I hate you." I yelled flailing my arms around. And as soon as those last words left my lips it felt as if a powerful force shot through my chest knocking me backwards. Demetri flew across the room, clutching his chest. Everything in the room seemed to be levitating for about 5 seconds before falling to the ground again. My fingertips tingling. And my head throbbing.

Instead of responding he stood up and headed out of my room. Never offering me a second glance. But I couldn't unhear his whispered words, either to himself or to me.

"It's for the best!" he mumbled.

When the door was fully closed and I thought he was gone I looked down at my hands. They were still tingling and I swear I seen electricity running between my fingertips.

Holy shit, what the fuck was that? I thought to myself.

Instead of exploring this new-found power of mine, I laid back silently in the bed staring up at the ceiling. The moon goddess has got to be playing tricks on me. I can read minds, not that I've mastered that yet. It's only happened once. But I did read my mom's mind. Apparently, I can talk to the gods, or a god. I don't know. And I may have telekinesis powers or whatever the hell it's called. All I remember thinking was that I wanted Demetri away from me, and then he wasn't. I'd have to talk to the parents about this tomorrow. Right now, I had to get some sleep. My entire body feeling completely drained.
