Felicity's POV.

I woke up a few minutes ago from a nap I could not fight from pure exhaustion once I was left alone. After the doctor explained what was wrong with me while my mate was in the room I felt a little better about my situation. When Warren told me exactly what happened that brought me to where I am right now I couldn't believe it. I can't believe I killed the man who tortured me all these years; I'm finally free of him, it feels almost surreal. Once I had calmed down with him in the room he told me that when I woke up earlier and thought I was yelling at my father, it was actually my mate who stood before me. Now I know why he looked at me the way he did, why he ran out like he had a pride of rabid lions chasing after him.

I began to think about the look on his face as he left the room, the pain that I could see in his eyes when I called out for Warren to comfort me, the way Warren looked at him as if asking for permission; it all made sense now. I'm sure it was himself he was hoping I would have called out to but no, I called out to another man, a man that was not my mate. The look he gave me as he left with the doctor makes me think of how much it must pain him to know I don't remember him. I truly wish I could. Maybe it would make me feel better to remember him, I must admit having him near me did calm me down but still I couldn't let anyone get close to me, it just scared me too much.

I fell asleep as soon as he and the doctor left and when I woke up I found myself alone in my room. That kind of hurt knowing my mate didn't stay with me, but how can I blame him? Who would want to stay near the person who can't even remember who you are, especially when they should mean the world to you?

I listen intently as the sound of footsteps approach my room, luckily I made good time getting dressed into the comfortable clothes someone left me. By the time they've reach my door I'm back in the bed waiting for them to enter.

I watch as the door slowly opens and I see a familiar face, "Dan...what are you doing here?" He smiles at me in his boyish way and takes the seat next to me. Although it's not that close to me I still cringe at the proximity, I'm still not comfortable with people being that close. "Well Drik- your mate, Warren, Lana and I discussed how you don't remember anyone recent so we figured it might be better if you saw a more familiar face. I feel likes it's been so long since I've spent time around you, what with everything that went down and you no longer being with Warren." So my mate's name is Drik? But Warren told me it was another name, what was it...? I feel as though I've really missed a lot, Warren told me what I did for him and Lana but it's so frustrating becuase I don't remember anything.

Dan shuffles the chair a little closer and leans forward, his features are ridden with worry; I do my best not to flinch at the proximity again, "So Liss, how are you feeling? Are you doing okay?" It's nice to know that after everything he does genuinely care about me, we were never that close but we did get along as best we could. "I'm doing fine Dan, thanks for asking." He leans back in his chair, "you know when Warren told me what your father did to you I was shocked, but I was angry at myself too." I looked at him in confusion, why would he be angry at himself? "I know what you're thinking, why would I be angry at myself? Well unlike Warren I did happen to notice a few times the marks on your skin, because they were made with a regular knife or whatever your father used on you, I never thought to look into them. Remember that pool party we had at my house? Well I remember you were in a bikini and that's when I saw them- the very, very faint white lines along your skin. Ladwen certainly did his homework and research for how to harm a werewolf without any noticeable marks left on their skin. You know Warren actually had me research about how he did it after he found out what Ladwen has being doing to you all these years? Let me tell you, it was quite a task and took me days to find it all."

I was shocked that he has been trying to figure it all out. I thought the techniques my father had used on me everyone knew. He went on, "I even noticed your reaction to your father a little bit, we all knew you lived with him but every once in a while I noticed a look of fear in your eyes when he was around, how you avoided him as best you could and if we were having pack meetings you made sure Warren and I stood as far away from him as you could get us. I remember one time your father had to talk to Warren and you were standing between Warren and I, I could almost feel the tension rolling off you. I still have no idea how Warren missed all of this. I'm still ashamed of myself for not having checked further into possible reasons as to why your eyes flicked with fear whenever his gaze landed on yo, the harm he caused you could have been stopped earlier and you wouldn't be going through with what you are right now, for that I'm sorry. I could have stopped him long ago if I had only paid more attention."

I was so caught up in his story that I missed him reaching over, the exact moment his hand touched my knee I still didn't react. What set me over and drew my attention to his touch was when he lightly moved his hand over my knee in a comforting gesture, but with how I was dealing with things my body and mind didn't take it as such. My very being saw it as a sign of danger and right then all hell broke loose. I rose to my feet and attacked him

It was as if I were no longer in my body, neither Ana nor I were in control but what awoke was a rabid and vicious beast unknown to either of us. As footsteps approached we made an attempt to kill our assailant but was distracted by the movement of those who entered the room. They were unrecognizable to us, our mind was separated from our body. The only thing that stopped us after a long, hard struggle was a sharp pain in our shoulder and after a few minutes darkness over took our body and mind.
