'Obviously, I am here."

Charlotte chuckled at Amy's silly announcement. Amy held her hand and whispered,


'I am talking about Melinda, she is here!"

'What?"

Charlotte's extraordinary brain was inadequate to absorb this news. Surprise stole the air from her lungs, leaving her breathless.


'Fourteen years ago, Melinda got badly injured while saving Alpha Eric in a war. A rogue kicked her into a canyon in front of everyone.

After two days of search, warriors found a deformed female dead body there, considered her Melinda, and buried her.


Alpha Eric was not in his senses, so only dress color was used to identify the body. But now, she is back and Luna is with her inside the room."

Charlotte listened to Amy's blast from the past and matched it with Liam's information. Eric never discussed his first mate with her, so all the details she knew were from other sources.

This death story was clearly not convincing!

'They were so cute, smitten with love that everyone was envious of their union."

Liam's words rang in her mind at that accurate time, her hand flew to her mouth, muffling an involuntary gasp. A jolt of electricity cursed through her veins, rendering her speechless.

'Oh!"

Charlotte exploded in a nervous laugh. She breathed in sharply and spoke when the shock wore off.

'I will check!"

Charlotte's entry dispersed the stunned crowd, she knocked at the door, her mind struggling to reconcile the reality with shock.

The door opened with a click, Luna Lily's cold face appeared in her sight.

'Come in!"

With some hesitation, she let her in. Charlotte raised her eyes and froze, her muscles locked in a momentary paralysis. The beauty before her eyes was like a Moon Goddess herself (according to Charlotte), so elegant and majestic.

Her heartbreaking allure was hard to ignore, Charlotte felt herself spell-bounded even though she was a woman just like her.

'Greetings, Charlotte!"

Melinda got up from the chair in respect and stretched her hand for a friendly handshake.

'I am Melinda Dietor, Alpha Eric's fated mate."

Charlotte grabbed her porcelain white hand as her own hand trembled uncontrollably, fingers twitching with nervous energy.

The unexpected revelation had sent shock waves through her entire body.

'Please, sit! We have a lot to catch up."

Luna's soft voice broke their intense eye contact, her eyebrows were forming an arc of astonishment. Charlotte sat on the chair beside the couch, where Luna and Melinda sat together.

She closely observed Melinda, whose ash blonde hair and blue eyes were a deadly match in one woman.

Her cherry lips were luscious, bearing a sense of sultry as she had adorned them with a transparent lip gloss.

Contrary to the other women in the room, Melinda was quite confident, her ponytail swayed as she turned her head.

'I know, you must have plenty of questions for me, Mom. But trust me, I am the same Maddy you knew before."

'I, we never forget you, Maddy. In fact, we missed you a lot."

Luna Lily stumbled over her words, her tongue tripping over the rush of thoughts, clamoring for attention.

'Where were you during the previous years?"

Getting frustrated from their pointless chitchat, Charlotte asked in a mechanical tone. Her businesswoman mode was switched on, she fixed her eyes on Melinda.

'Shortly after the fall, I bumped my head with a rock and lost consciousness. A kind-hearted woman saved me, but I lost my memory.

My wolf died in that accident, so it was impossible for me to recognize anyone from my past. About a month ago, I met a healer wolf, she helped me to remember my past and my home."

Melinda wiped her tears with a white handkerchief, and proceeded piteously.

'I have seen many hardships after leaving my Pack, can you please take me back, Mom? I have nowhere else to go."

Her begging and pitiful cries softened the already gentle heart of Luna Lily.

'Why not, Maddy? This is your home, and no one can snatch your right to live in the Silver Moon Pack as you were born here.

I can't express my happiness in words after seeing you alive. This is such a blessed day for us."

Luna ended her emotional speech with a warm hug, they both cried in each other's embrace.

'I am sorry, Mom. I never wanted to leave you all."

Lily patted her head and smiled.

'It wasn't your fault, silly girl."

Between their mother-daughter session, Charlotte's gaze was plastered to her neck, where Eric's giant mating mark was glistening in a regal prestige.

Melinda's self conceited aura exuded the power of a born leader, overwhelming her opponents.

'I am so excited to meet my parents. Where are they?"

Melinda blinked her eyes innocently, her child like happiness vanished by Luna Lily's heartbreaking reply.

'Jenna and James died the same year, Maddy. They were so sad after your unfortunate death. Their wolves committed suicide due to depression."

She held Melinda's hand, who was now sobbing painfully.

'I am a killer, my parents died because of me."

Melinda's heart rate hitched as her breathing became ragged, it seemed that she might hyperventilate. She clutched her chest, and fainted in a heartbeat.

'Maddy!"

Lily and Charlotte rushed towards her, Julian (the head warrior) brought a doctor in less than five minutes. Doctor Mike examined that sleeping beauty and gave her an injection.

'Patient's body is weak, that's why she couldn't endure a shock. Dyspnea has caused her to lose her consciousness. Let her take some rest, she will be fine soon."

As there was nothing else to do, Charlotte came out of the Luna's room, where Liam was waiting for her impatiently.

'The woman inside is Maddy?"

Doubt was evident in Liam's hurried tone.

'Yes, she is!"

Unsatisfied by her response, he brought out a picture.

'She is Melinda!"

Charlotte watched the younger version of that beauty and nodded.

'Yes, she is the one!"

'Bloody hell!"

Liam shrieked and tugged her arm.

'What should we do now, Charlotte? I, I will call Eric right now."

Liam searched his pockets for his mobile phone, a stiff voice halted his movement.

'No one will inform Eric about it!"

They both turned and saw Luna Lily, whose face expressions were complex as Hell.

'Eric is fighting a war against the enemy. Disturbing him now will cause damage to his work. I will talk to him personally when he comes back.

Anyone who will break this rule will be subjected to death. Announce it in the public, Julian."

Charlotte was amused that a loving, easy-going lady like Eric's mother could be a fierce ruler if needed.

'As you say, Luna."

Right after the Julian's exit, Charlotte grabbed Liam's arm, and they took solace in his cabin.

'Tell me everything in detail."

Liam became a detective and interrogated his sire for a length of time.

'This story is convincing, though we still require some evidence which could support her statement."

According to Liam, Melinda's re-entry was a miracle, and he was happy, but this could lead to a disaster.

'I am worried about Eric, how would he react? This is so messed up."

Seeing her in deep thoughts, Liam shouted near her ear.

'I am talking to you, Charlotte. Aren't you anxious like me?"
