Chapter 2 - lies

Aurora was done with the doctors checkup and had been diagnosed with a temporary amnesia.

She had expected that already, the doctor had said that it might be due to her brain forgetting on its own, maybe due to a certain event.

The door opened for a man to walk in, he had an air of arrogance and elegance attached to his powerful slides, he stood in front of me with a smile.

You got me worried my love he said for my eyes to widen, who are you please?, your finance derk bane, don't stress your self to remember, we have all the time to recover your lost memories.

Aurora looked at him, her stomach churning with repulse, how could she have such feeling towards someone she loved.

Am here to take you home derk said smiling innocently as he signaled to the nurse to help with the check out.

I live with you?, yes my love you do, and you had everyone worried Derk said his eyes flashing to the key sitting nicely on her neck, as he smiled, he had his eyes on the prize.

When she finally gives him her heart , he would be able to unlock the box of mysteries, fueled by his goals, he helped her up and led her outside the hospital where his car was parked.

Aurora stepped into the large mansion, her eyes burning with curiosity, she still didn't believe she lived here, she tried to remember again, but ended up with the same terrible headache.

Derk came to her side, helping her up the stairs to stop in front of a bedroom, this is your room , he said opening the doors to show a blue painted room, with a large king sized bed.

She walked into the room, her eyes looking over the interior, it was lavishly arranged, she sat down on the bed feeling the warm mattress.

You should washup, dinner would be served soon, Derk said closing the door of the room, to walk into his own room.

Aurora was his nemesis, their first meeting was a disaster, he had matched off to meet her after the moon goddess had informed him she was his mate, and out of curiosity he had matched off to met her or rather kill her.

His tongue clicked at the memory of that day, she had slapped him hard across the face when he had stormed in on her date with her betrayal of a boyfriend.

He had wanted to drag her away with him for the spiteful human to slap him, he was pissed but also surprised at the sheer strength she exacted.

His eyes crinkled with amusement, she was now his and he would make sure to make her life miserable, after he gets his prize.

The key of mysteries held the access to unlock so many abilities, he was an Alpha , the Alpha of the red moon pack, the strongest in the whole of cartimon empire.

But was born with a flaw that questioned his leadership, he had no empathy, something that was frowned upon by the elders .

It made him soulless and deviod of emotion,the reason he couldn't take his throne as the supreme alpha, and the key of mysteries had the solution to his dilemma , along with other hidden benefit.

But the key also could not be touched by supernaturals except given by a human, and another strange requirement was the key needed the blood of someone who loved the receiver.

The key was conveted by thousands, and he would be the first to get his hands on it thanks to his mate.

He had his shower and walked downstairs to continue with his role of a dutiful fiance, and as expected she was sitting down, wearing a maroon coloured pajamas waiting for him.

The maids served the food and they both ate in silence, Aurora took sneaky glances towards his fiance and looked at her finger wondering why she wasn't wearing a ring .

Derk followed her gaze to find out , she was starring at her empty finger, and he cursed under his breath.

You lost your ring , he said picking the glass of wine to take a gulp from it, we would be shopping for a new one first thing tomorrow, he said and Aurora nodded .

I lost my phone she said to Derk, more reason for us to shop around tomorrow, you can make a list of your necessities and we would get them tomorrow.

Why was I in an accident?, she asked as she placed down her cutleries, careless driver love, don't worry his already under investigation Derk said pretending to look angry at the thought of the accident.

The maids apaluded their master's skill when it came to lying and pretending, he had suddenly asked them to fill the room with a ladies belongings and had warned them not to say any word to her .

What do I usually do when am not at home and how are my parents?, Aurora asked heaping down the questions on Derk , who was beginning to find it difficult to keep up with his facade.

He was honestly irritated with the entire question, my love your parents died long ago , and you recently just graduated so you have nothing doing at the moment.

He sounded so convincing and honest that Aurora couldn't help but believe the man.

My parents are dead?, she asked again , tears subconsciously flowing down her face, she didn't know why they fell uncontrollably.

The pain felt fresh like it had just happended not so long unlike what he had said

Don't worry love, they are in a better place, they died a good death, Derk lied through his teeth, we would go to see them once you get better.

Aurora stood up, I would be I'm my room she said, not sparing a look at Derk who sighed releived thankful he wouldn't be going through the questions again.

Aurora stepped into her room, falling to the floor as she cried, why couldn't she remember, why? Something didn't feel right but she couldn't place a hand on it.

She lay down and slept off after crying herself to sleep.
