Mated To The Alpha King (Raven and Ethan) novel Chapter 374

Chapter 374

Reven’s POV

Look at me, Edna said you are save nothing is happening ok.

I nodded slowly.

Even that small movement made my head feel heavy, but I forced myself to look at Edna.

She crouched in front of me, her hands resting gently on my knees. Her eyes searched my face carefully.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” she asked softly. “If you’re not, we can stay another night. We can go tomorrow.”

Tomorrow.

I didn’t want tomorrow.

I wanted now.

I wanted air that didn’t smell like disinfectant and medicine. I wanted walls that weren’t white and cold. I wanted something that felt like life.

“No,” I said quietly. “I want to go home.”

The word felt strange in my mouth.

Home.

Did I even have one?

“I’m sick of the hospital,” I continued. “I don’t remember anything. Not my past. Not who I was.

Not even what kind of person I used to be. So… I need a fresh start. Since I don’t know anything about my life, I’ll start over.”

My throat tightened.

“And I’ll just hope… I’ll hope the Moon Goddess helps me remember one day.”

Edna’s expression softened.

“Okay,” she whispered.

She helped me up from the chair. My legs were still weak, but I managed. Every step toward the exit felt unreal, like I was walking into a life I didn’t recognize.

Outside, the air felt different.

Cool.

Alive.

Free.

A cab was waiting at the entrance. Edna opened the door for me, and I slid inside carefully. She followed, shutting the door behind her.

The ride was quiet.

Too quiet.

I stared out the window as buildings passed by. People walked on sidewalks. Cars moved. Street vendors called out to customers. Everything looked normal.

But I wasn’t.

I didn’t know where we were going.

I didn’t know if I had ever been there before.

I didn’t know if I had left someone behind.

The thought made my chest ache, but I pushed it away.

After about thirty minutes, the cab slowed down and turned into a smaller street.

The houses were close together. Paint peeling off some walls. Children playing barefoot in the road. Music coming faintly from somewhere.

It wasn’t a rich neighborhood.

I could feel that immediately.

But I didn’t complain.

Anything was better than that hospital room.

The cab stopped.

Edna paid the driver and helped me out.

“Come,” she said gently.

I looked around slowly.

Searching.

Waiting.

Hoping something would click.

A memory.

A feeling.

Anything.

But like every time since I woke up… nothing came.

I sighed in frustration and followed her inside.

The apartment was small.

One room.

A tiny kitchen tucked into the

A small bathroom door.

corner.

One bed against the wall.

A closet.

It wasn’t big.

It wasn’t fancy.

But it was clean.

And cozy.

And for some reason, that was enough.

I sat on the bed while Edna dropped her bag on one side of the room.

“Make yourself comfortable,” she said. “The house belongs to both of us now.”

I blinked at her. “Thank you. For everything.”

– She rolled her eyes lightly. “Stop it.”

“No, I mean it. You didn’t have to-”

“I’m the one who should be thanking you,” she cut in gently.

I frowned slightly.

“You took the bullet for me,” she said quietly. “That’s why you ended up in the hospital.”

My breath caught.

A bullet.

So that’s what happened to me.

“I know you can’t remember,” she added softly.

I nodded slowly.

I hated that I couldn’t.

“I’m sorry,” I whispered.

Edna shook her head. “Don’t be. I’m just glad you survived.”

Silence filled the room for a moment.

“There’s food in the fridge,” she said after a while. “You can make coffee if you want. I have to go for my shift at the bar. I need to clear the remaining hospital bill.”

Guilt immediately flooded me.

“I can work too,” I said quickly.

She looked at me sharply. “No.”

“Why not? I’m fine.”

“You just got discharged, Reven. Your body needs time to heal.”

“I can-”

“Shhh.” She placed her finger against my lips playfully. “I know you’re strong. But you’ll wait. Until you’re fully better.”

I sighed.

She blew me a kiss. “Rest. I’ll be back late.”

And just like that, she left.

The door closed.

Silence wrapped around me.

I stared at the door for a long moment.

“I can work,” I muttered under my breath.

I didn’t want to be a burden.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow I would look for work behind her back.

Even if she didn’t approve.

I stood up slowly and walked to the bathroom.

The mirror greeted me.

I stared at my reflection.

The woman looking back at me felt like a stranger.

There were faint scars near my shoulder.

A small mark at my side.

My eyes looked… tired.

Older than they should.

“Who are you?” I whispered to my reflection.

No answer.

I turned on the shower.

The warm water ran down my body, soothing my skin.

But my mind wouldn’t rest.

The hospital nights came back.

The dreams.

The voice.

My hand suddenly slammed against the sink.

“Dang it!” I hissed. “Why can’t I remember anything?”

The frustration felt unbearable.

After bathing, I dried myself and walked back into the room. I pulled out simple clothes from the closet and dressed.

I wanted to go outside.

To walk.

To talk to someone.

Maybe something would trigger a memory.

But I didn’t know anyone in this neighborhood.

And the thought of walking alone made me uneasy.

So I stayed.

I turned on the television.

A love series was playing.

At first, I watched absentmindedly.

But then-

A scene appeared.

The female lead had lost the man she loved.

She was crying.

Begging him not to leave.

My chest tightened.

Why does this feel familiar?

My breathing became uneven.

The woman on the screen collapsed to her knees, screaming.

Suddenly

A flash.

A shadow of a tall man.

Two small figures.

Crying.

My head throbbed painfully.

I grabbed the remote and turned off the TV.

The silence was deafening.

“That’s stupid,” I muttered.

It was just a show.

Just acting.

I lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

I began counting sheep in my head.

One.

Two.

Three.

My eyelids grew heavy.

Four.

Sleep pulled me under.

And then-

The nightmare.

Darkness surrounded me.

Cold wind brushed against my skin.

I stood in what looked like an open field under a bright moon.

“Come back…”

The voice echoed behind me.

My heart dropped.

I stepped back immediately. “I don’t know you.”

This time, he wasn’t standing.

He was on the ground.
