I Forgot I Loved You Alpha (Ellie and Nolan) novel Chapter 2

Ellie's POV

I had a bad headache.

Am I really suffering from amnesia?

Why can't I remember anything?

The weirdo's voice in my head paused. His voice filled with confusion and distain.

"What is this," he asked, "Your new trick?"

"What?" I was a little angry, because of his tone, "And why are you in my head? "

“Ellie, I don’t have time for your games or tantrums. Stop pretending. The Moonstone Pack will be arriving soon, and I need you home. Now.”

Then—silence. The mindlink cut so abruptly, I felt like I’d been slapped.

What... the hell?!

That was rude!

I blinked up at the ceiling, the sterile white lights of the hospital sharp against my eyes. I was searching for anything, any memories, an explanation, but there was nothing.

Who was that?

No—who was I?...Ellie? I'm Ellie?

A low curse broke the quiet. I turned my head, found the redhead still standing over me, arms folded and lips curled in outrage.

“Unbelievable!” she hissed. “You almost died, and that sorry excuse of a husband doesn’t even show up to see if you’re breathing.”

Husband?

I tried to sit up, but my body screamed in protest. But she rushed over and helped me upright, her touch gentler than her tone. “Careful,” she muttered. “The crash was bad. You’ve only been awake for a few hours.”

“Wait.” My voice cracked. “I’m married?”

She froze. Her gaze snapped to mine, searching. “Ellie… don’t mess with me right now.”

“I’m not.” I muttered, “Who am I married to?”

Her face tightened, shocked. “What? Didn't you just connect to Alpha Nolan's mindlink? Wow…You really don’t remember, huh?”

...So that person just now was Alpha Nolan? My husband?

“Well, I’m Rae, we’ve been friends for a long, long time. As for Nolan, you’ve devoted everything to him.”

Rae could hardly believe it all, but she still went on to explain everything to me. “You were always trying so hard to be good enough, yet he was always cruel…You—you just stood by, loving him. I was…never a fan.”

I stared at her. “Why would I love someone like that?”

And I meant it. Something inside me curled at the idea. It felt foreign. Pathetic.

Rae blinked, startled. “Wow. That’s... new. The old you, whenever you mentioned Nolan, you'd defend him for just breathing. Now you're actually saying this about him... that's new.”

I scoffed, "Now that's the thought of a normal person!"

The "Me" that Rae described was utterly unreasonable — giving up everything for a man? Foolish! Why not live for yourself?

Just then, the door swung open and the Healer stepped in again. He looked me over with practiced boredom, his lips twitching with something close to disdain.

Rae frowned. “She doesn’t remember anything. Not even Nolan. You need to do another check.”

The Healer rolled his eyes, but came forward anyway. But when his hands touched me, his expression changed.

He stiffened, eyes flickering. “You have a wolf,” he said softly. “That’s… impossible.”

My throat tightened. “What?”

He didn't answer me. He just moved more quickly now, fingers searching along my temples, my stomach. And then he went still.

“...She’s pregnant,”

Rae shot up. “What?!”

“Only a few weeks. Barely detectable. But it’s there.” The Healer took a step back, his face pale. “And she’s healed almost completely, even from moments ago when I checked. Faster than she should. If she’s wolf-less, a rogue… this shouldn’t be possible.”

He left in a rush, muttering something about needing to speak to the Alpha immediately.
