Chapter 69: Chapter 69

Chapter 67

As I placed my baggage on the bed, I gazed at my room. Alpha Greyson drove me here to Auntie Susan and Uncle Peter's residence after I was released from the hospital to pack my belongings. Yes, we eventually decided to return to the palace once I'm better, so I'm now packing my belongings and thinking about everything.

Before leaving the hospital, I discussed the decision with Auntie Susan and Uncle Peter. I was overcome with emotion when I spoke with them. I am extremely grateful for their generosity. They treated me as if I were their own child, and they assisted me in recovering. Without them, I'm sure I'd still be lost and in pain. As much as I want them to join me, I know how different our worlds are. It's why, even though they're so nice to me and their warmth feels like home, my heart still yearns for something. That is Alpha Greyson.

Elena and Henry paid me another visit at that precise moment, giving me the opportunity to inform them of my decision. Elena was sobbing as I said my goodbyes since I honestly don't know when I'll be returning. I was likewise taken aback by Henry's tight hug. As I felt his grasp, my heart clenched. He's been a wonderful friend to me. He was my solace when I was unsure of my identity. His presence reminds me of Shena.

I spent almost the entire day saying goodbye and had no idea it could be so terrible. But I know no matter what I did... This is not the world I want to live in. I know that the purpose my memories have returned to me is to restore me to my rightful place. And to provide me with calm and comfort through Alpha Greyson.

I took a deep breath as I began packing my belongings into my bag. Alpha Greyson is downstairs having a conversation with Auntie Susan and Uncle Peter. Maybe he's also giving me some alone time. To consider everything. He was with me the entire day and witnessed everything. So maybe he understands how I'm feeling right now.

This is the room where I slept through the night. It was increasingly challenging for me, especially on my first nights here. I constantly have tears in my eyes when I wake up. I'm plagued by dreams. And every time I felt lonely, I spent the entire night crying, feeling depressed and in pain, even though I had no idea why because I didn't remember anything.

I was almost finished when I felt Alpha Greyson's presence behind me. I fixed my gaze on him. He was leaning against the door, his arms crossed.

"I'm almost done," I announced. He nodded and entered. I observed him looking about my room. My life is contained within this room where I have not been with him. And I know it's vital for him, as I'm feeling. He came to a halt in front of my vanity table, where my pictures are displayed. He took the photo of me smiling with Uncle Peter and Auntie Susan. In that photo, we were fishing. That photo was shot approximately a year after I had recovered from my condition.

"Auntie Susan and Uncle Peter took me fishing because they said it was good for our minds," I recalled. Alpha Greyson fixed his gaze on the picture.

"You were smiling, but your eyes aren't," he pointed out. I lowered my gaze because he was right. I wasn't completely recovered, but I'm doing my best. I don't want Uncle Peter and Auntie Susan to be worried about my health.

"It had been almost a year since Auntie Susan found me unconscious when that picture was taken," I explained. I caught a glimpse of him looking at me. I fixed my gaze on my suitcase as if there was something special about it. When I felt his arms around my waist, I stiffened. I cast a glance behind me at him. His gaze was hypnotic, and the anguish I was experiencing vanished.

"I want to make up for the time we weren't together..." he said quietly. My heart is in pain. My eyes welled up with tears. I rested his arms on my stomach. My mind travels back to my precious child barely living in my stomach. My heart was aching even more.

"We... have spent so many years together," I undoubtedly stated. His hold becomes tighter, and he places his head on my shoulder. My eyes welled up with tears.

"Y-You know... I'm still blaming myself for what happened with our child," I said, my voice trembling. His grip loosens. When he forced me to face him, I swallowed hard. I averted my gaze. I'm so embarrassed that I'm crying right now after admitting that I blame myself.

"Do you know how hurt I was when you turned cold to me after losing our child?" his voice makes my heart pound in agony. I recall that time. Alpha Greyson's eyes, in particular, virtually implored me to pay attention to him. Every time I disregarded him, I felt terrible. Damn!

"I-I'm sorry..." I stammered. He held me on my shoulders. "That's when I realized that everything is pointless without you by my side, Amara," he murmured tenderly, almost melting my heart. My legs shook. My teary eyes were drawn to him.

My voice quivered as I asked, "How could you be so understanding despite everything?" He smiled so brightly that it made my heart race.

"Because it's you..." he said quietly. When he closes the gap between us, my eyes close automatically. He cupped my jaw and crouched to get to my lips. But before he could press his lips against mine, the door to my room opened, showing Auntie Susan's surprised expression! I pushed Alpha Greyson away from me right quickly. He almost tripped because of that! Shit!

"I-I'm sorry! I just wanted to call you both for lunch! B-But… you can continue… ah… I'm leaving!” Auntie Susan said in a panic.  I was in a daze as we were left alone. I went to Alpha Greyson, who was staring at me badly for pushing him.

"Do you know what the punishment is for pushing the Alpha King so rudely?" he inquired, raising an eyebrow. I almost laughed at him, but I forced myself not to.

"I'm so sorry, okay—"

He smirked, "You owe me a million love makings..." My cheeks turned red. His lovely face was adorned with a cheeky grin.
