Changes

"What is wrong with him?" Josh asked the doctor as we gather around in my office, I stood looking out the window, wondering how my life has come to be like this. I lost him to death once but turns out he was alive all along and now that he is awake and well, he does not remember me or anyone else. the Almighty is punishing hard me for some reason.

"After running numerous tests, we conclude that Prince Alejandro is suffering from Amnesia due to the amount of time he spent in a coma, it has messed up with brain," he replied looking at the floor bowing respectfully. I had a hunch but hearing it from the expert makes it ten times more hard. I refused to believe it before but now everything is falling apart.

"Will he be able to regain his memories?" I asked my voice barely above a whisper. I pulled my shivering hands closer to my body and stood there looking out the window not having the guts to look at the doctor and see the pity he feels for me, pity was the last thing I needed right now.

"it's possible but... it's not certain," he said his voice sounding sad.

I nod at him and he leaves the office, Alejandro's father was with him now, helping him understand his surroundings, Alejandro freaks out every time I'm in the same room as his, the kiss that I thought was my right as a mate made him feel disgusted towards me. My mate felt uncomfortable being in the same room with me.

the last time I saw him was the time he pushed me off of him and called me names, names I would never want anyone to ever hear in their life from the person they love, I never went back again after that, it was a week ago, I wanted to but his father asked me to stay away until he was stable enough to have a conversation.

"it's going to be ok Enzo, he is your Mate, he will come around I'm sure of it," Josh ensured me trying to cheer me up, I smile at him thankfully. it was low of me to hear it from Josh, at least I had a mate, I feel bad for making him cheer me up when he had lost his mate for good.

I don't interact with anyone the entire day just be by myself, I drown myself in paperwork and pack business but most of my time I spent in the training field, training and training trying to get rid of the pent-up frustration.

Alejandro's father came up to my office when I was working on papers, he smiled sadly at me "How are you, Lorenzo? did you eat today?" he began asking walking in the room holding on to his walking stick.

"I'm doing well your Majesty, how are you?" I ask politely greeting him standing up from my seat, I held his arm to accompany him to an empty seat.

"thank you, I'm doing well as well, " he replied sitting comfortably on his chair. "this might come out as rude but I have a favor to ask from you," he said the tone in his voice was careful.

I sit up straight attentively "ok course, anything," he smiled at my eagerness.

"Doctors suggested that it would be helpful for Alejandro to regain his memories faster if he was to be in places where he feels familiar," he said but I understand the meaning behind his indirectness.

"oh, I will move out of his room today, now if you want," the words felt heavy on my tongue as I spoke them. I didn't want to move out, I had been living in his room for almost a year now and his scent was the only thing that kept me sane.

"I'm sorry my child, I know this is not fair to you, but as a father, I must do what is necessary for my only son," he explained deeply trying to justify his actions, I placed my hand over his wrinkled one and gave him a nice squeeze.

"I would have done the same thing if I were in your place, there is nothing wrong with wanting the best for your son, I will do move out as soon as possible, you have my word," I told him moving away from him. he thanked me and left announcing that he needed rest too.

I felt heavy the moment king Philip left my office, I knew I told him I would move out but the action of my words gave me more pain than it was supposed to. it was my sanctuary, I had bundled myself up with Alejandro's clothes trying to replace his actions with his sweet scent and now I was getting ripped away from that was well, what has my life come to?

I sighed before packing up my work and walking toward my room to prepare to move out. I felt sentimental with every box I filled with my stuff, I never had an attachment to a place up till now but this time it felt too personal leaving a place I thought was my home.

with the help of other pack members, I transferred my stuff to a new apartment I had rented at a nearby apartment complex.

the apartment was a one-bedroom apartment fully equipped kitchen, and other necessary things. it was nice and cozy. while arranging my closet I found one of Alejandro's sweaters with my clothes. I bring it to my nose and breathe in his woodsy scent and sigh in contentment.

I burst into tears when my heart accepted that no matter what I do my love life will be in tremors. I cry till my tears run out and unknowingly I drift off clenching his sweater in my arms in the most empty sleep I had

I woke up the next morning and drove back to the castle wearing his sweater, I needed the courage to get by today, and wearing his sweater made me feel like I was wearing armor. and armor was needed to face the beast.

I go through the things I needed to do today, Joshua walked into my office with a complaint that there was a sheet missing which I needed to sign to permit the construction of a pediatric ward in our hospital.

I nod at him, "I think I left it in my room, I'll go get it now," I rush to my old room and found the document in the bathroom closet, I remembered putting it away when I was too tired to place it in a file, I grab it and turn to leave when I noticed the steam in the bathroom.

my heart dropped in my stomach with the realization that I was not alone here. I cruse my luck with every curse word I knew and turn to see the glass door was fogged up with hot water. but the person inside turned to water off and walk out slowly opening the glass door.

I gulp nervously when I see Alejandro walk out the door wearing nothing but a towel. he crossed his arms in front of him and stared at me with an annoyed expression.

I raise my hand to show him the document " I promise I wasn't trying to invade your privacy, I just wanted to grab this document, " I spoke hurriedly.

he watched me carefully like he was trying to figure me out. his fresh scent was driving me crazy, every moment I spent here was torturing me to the next level.

"I will leave now," I ran out but stopped at the door when he spoke.

"don't come back here ever again, this is my last warning to you, I don't want to see your face again, I don't know what kind of relationship we had before but I'm certain I'm not gay, so, stop fantasizing because there will never be anything between us, ever." his words pierced through my heart, I breathe in deeply trying hard not to break down in front of him.

"I'm not gay either, you might not remember it but we are mates, we will eventually find each other again," I say before leaving again, but I didn't get very far.

I was about to open the door when I was pushed on it, he put his weight on my back as my face was smashed into the door, it didn't hurt much but having his body pushing on mine, his hot breath fanned my ear turning them hot my face flamed as the blood rushed in my veins.

"Listen here you brat, I don't care what you think we are but I don't want a guy as a mate, and certainly do not want you. get this in your thick skull," he growled in my ear furiously his eyes flashing red for a moment, I got confused because he never had red eyes before, not even his beast.

I felt rage burst through me when he said those words. I pushed him off using my alpha powers, I turned around slamming him on the floor, and I sat on top of him trapping him beneath me.

he looked at me with wide eyes, surprised with my strength, I smile at him sarcastically, and I lean onto him and whisper in his ear, with my right hand's forefinger tracing his skin from his chin to his muscled chest.

"Just because I don't talk back doesn't mean I'm weak, I let you push me around because I wanted you to feel comfortable with me but you are taking my generosity as a sign of weakness, and let me tell you, I'm anything but weak. I'm the most powerful alpha in this kingdom right now don't underestimate me, Mate, your pride can cost you more than you can give," I warn him in the most sensual way possible.

his chest heaved under me, the vibration of his speeding heartbeat was driving me crazy, but I couldn't let my lust for my mate, ruin this for me.

I get off of him and run out of the room like my tail was on fire, I get back to my office, wheezing for breath. I close the door and lean on it breathing heavily. the movement in the room snapped me out of my daze.

Josh looked at me like I was crazy, " Are you alright?" he asked me checking me out and trying to find something physically wrong.

I wave him off walking towards my chair and sat on it with a thud, I hold my face in my hands and regret ever being born into this world.

Torture, this was pure Torture.
