but
she doesn't remember that I was there. She thinks I'm just an
Enforcer the PAC sent to guard her. I'm essentially a stranger to
her now.”
    Bryn pushed off the wall and
came to him at once. “She can't have forgotten you entirely.
Give her time. She will remember you,” she said bracingly.
    Scott was less optimistic but
more forceful. “Talk to her. Tell her! Make her remember.
She has to! Make her remember everything.”
    “ I'm not sure that's a
good thing,” Levi said with a heavy sigh.
    “ Not a good thing? So,
forgetting you is a good thing?”
    “ No, Scott, forgetting
her pain and her past is a good thing. I was part of her past. She
got to know me when she was in the midst of her divorce, at the
crossroads. She's gone past the crossroads now. She's chosen a
path, and she's now in a better, happier place. Once her divorce
goes through, she's free. She's got her whole life ahead of her.
She's only twenty-one. She'll heal and she will learn to love
again.”
    “ What do you mean?
She's your mate, Levi!” Scott was practically shouting. “What
do you mean she'll learn to love again? Are you...!”
    “ I mean she'll learn to
love me. But first, she has to get to know me—all over again,”
Levi replied with a sly grin.
    Bryn's smile was so wide he
could see her fangs. She punched him on the arm. “Go get her,
tiger! I mean, bear!”
    Scott clapped him on the
shoulder, but he still looked worried. “You stay strong, my
man.”
    “ Yeah. Okay, I've got a
zillion calls and messages to return. And I've got to report back to
the PAC Headquarters before Jett sends some Enforcers after my ass.
You two keep her safe, all right?” He winked at Scott and Bryn
as he walked backwards down the corridor.
    Bryn snapped to attention and
saluted. “Aye, aye, captain!”
    Scott gave him a two finger
salute, his expression grim.
    Levi gave them a big smile and
two thumbs up, before turning and heading towards the lift lobby.
His smile faded as he walked alone towards the lift, his heart
feeling heavier than a rock in his chest. He didn't want Scott and
Bryn to worry for him. Bryn would share her worries with her best
friend, Charlotte Cole, who was a fellow Enforcer and the PAC Alpha's
mate. Charlotte would tell Lucas, and he would have Lucas and Jett,
and the rest of the Council calling him, checking on him, keeping
tabs on him. They would all be on edge, afraid that he might pull
out his own Enforcer gun and fire a silver bullet through his own
head, instead of through the heart of a rogue.
    They meant well, all of them.
But he didn't think he could bear to see the pity and fear in their
eyes.
    Once he was out of the
hospital building, he pulled out his phone and called Jett.
    Jett answered on the first
ring. “Levi, just where the hell...!”
    “ I'm at the hospital,
Jett. I'll be at the PAC Headquarters in ten minutes.”
    There was a pause. “Ten
minutes,” Jett said, his tone softer. Then he rang off.
    Just two words, but Levi could
hear the sympathy in Jett's voice. Did Jett know? Did they know all
about Rebecca's condition and her memory loss?
    Levi scrubbed a hand down his
face as he made his way towards the PAC building in the middle of the
city. He scrolled through all the messages on his phone and stuffed
his phone back in his pocket.
    There was no need to reply to
them. He would see all of them soon. He had no doubt all the
Council members and a large number of Enforcers would be gathered at
the PAC Headquarters, waiting for him.
    He pulled his sunglasses out
and snapped them on. They would protect his eyes from the harsh
midday sun, and shield the pain in his eyes from the inquisitive,
discerning gaze of the Council and his teammates.
    With a lingering backward
glance at the hospital building, he walked purposefully out into the
busy city street. These were the streets he patrolled and protected.
He hunted monsters, obliterated them and kept the city safe. He
would hunt the monster who had hurt
