Isla was in her gardens, thinking non-stop about her granddaughter and her deceased daughter. Suddenly, she heard someone call out to her. The voice sounded familiar. Isla stopped and looked behind her. "Leah!" The older woman ran towards her granddaughter, and as she got closer, she noticed that Romulus was asleep. Granddaughter and grandmother hugged one another. "Leah, how did you-!?"

"It is a long story, but do you have anything to lift Romulus? He is a bit heavy."

The elderly gave out a chuckle. "I might have one of those long carts belonging to your grandfather. I'll be back." Minutes later, the two put Romulus on the long cart and firmly pushed him toward Isla's home. Once inside the house, the two women put Romulus on the sofa. They breathed heavily and sat on another couch, watching him sleep. "Leah, how did you get back? I thought it was forbidden for you and your mate to return." Leah explained everything that occurred; Isla silently listened to her granddaughter. When Leah finished explaining, both were quiet. "Since the elders took his wolf away, will he still remember you?"

"Yes, only his wolf was taken away. The elders assured me that he would only forget that he was a werewolf and the world he was born in."

Isla was a bit quiet but then decided to ask. "Since a werewolf's bond to his mate is strong, is there a possibility that he won't have the same feelings anymore?"

Leah did not think of that. He could not forget the love he had for her, the feelings he had for her. Romulus was no longer a werewolf; now that he is human, his feelings might have changed. She shook her head. "I know he still loves me. We both sacrificed so much for one another; I know it."

Isla was about to respond but stopped when she and Leah saw Romulus moving. Leah immediately went to his side, holding his hand tightly. "Romulus?"

Little by little, Romulus opened his eyes. His eyes wandered, and then his eyes were on Leah. Leah felt her heartbeat rapidly. Then, her being was hopeful as she saw Romulus smiling at her. "Leah."

She couldn't contain her tears anymore; she hugged Romulus and began crying. As for Romulus, he felt confused and concerned. He put his arms around her. "It's okay, Leah. I'm here." He soothed her, and moments later, Leah calmed herself. She looked at him.

"Do you feel okay?"

Romulus sat up and sighed. "My head hurts, and my body is filled with pain. What happened?"

Isla and Leah looked at one another and then at Romulus. "Hey, Romulus, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, of course."

"Do you remember your past?"

Romulus looked confused. "I thought I told you that I was an orphan. I don't know my family or where I come from."

Leah felt her heart sink. The elder said that Romulus has no memory and will have no memory of his past. It pained her that Romulus would have to live with that for the rest of his life. It was a cruel reality that she knew the truth, and he didn't. "Do...Do you still love me?"

The young man raised his eyebrows. "Of course I do. You saved me from my loneliness when I had no one. You are my life, Leah. I love you with all my heart." He kissed Leah on her lips, and she kissed him back but stopped it since Isla was with them.

Isla stood from her seat. "I'll make some dinner, and you two can relax."

Leah merely nodded as she was in Romulus' arms, enjoying his comfort. Everyone ate and was in each other's company until night arrived. Everyone slept until the next day came. 

Isla told Leah that her parents would come in a couple of days. Leah called her parents; they scolded her for not calling. However, she told them she wanted to introduce them to someone but refused to say anything more until they arrived. Romulus looked forward to meeting her parents; it was cute.

Yet, there was so much in her head. Since Romulus was a werewolf, she sensed that he was not in the country's system. It would be difficult, but she refused to leave him, no matter how much her parents would disagree with her. Romulus was asleep while she was washing the dishes. Suddenly, she heard her grandmother yell; Leah dropped a dish, and Romulus ran out of the room. The two ran out, and once they were outside, both were in shock, especially Leah.

"R-Remus!?"

Remus held Isla by the neck as he held her in mid-air. He looked at her. "It has been a while, Leah."

"What are you doing to my grandmother!? Let her go!"

"This woman was getting in my way. I politely asked her about your whereabouts, but she was stubborn."

"Remus, please let her go!"

Remus shrugged and threw the older woman to the ground so that Isla bumped her head, making her lose consciousness. What worried Leah was that Remus was a werewolf; Romulus was no longer one. Remus then looked at Romulus and looked amused. "Hello, do you remember me?"

Romulus was cautious as he stood before Leah. He sensed a dangerous aura from Remus. However, he felt something within him that made him think he knew him. His memory was vague. "Who are you?"

"Ha, so it's true. The elder truly took his memories. How pathetic that he now he is a human."

"What are you talking about!?" He looked at Leah. "Do you know him?"

Leah got a hold of his arm. "Please not now, Romulus. I will try to explain later. Trust me."

Remus stepped forward. "He is human now, Leah, and you still want him? He will forget you and not love you as a werewolf."

"You told on us. Romulus has sacrificed so much because of his love for me! You did what you did for your selfish gains!"

"Selfish gains!? I would have done anything for you!"

Leah growled in frustration. "I am sorry you haven't found your mate, but you don't have to rely on your wolf, but yourself! Romulus' love for me is strong! I don't love or want you and never will. I would rather die!"

Remus growled in anger. "As you wish." Then, Remus changed into his werewolf form and growled.

Romulus was in shock. He could not believe what he had witnessed.

"Romulus, run!" yelled Leah.

Then, Remus ran toward Leah with the intent to kill her. He didn't care anymore; he felt nothing in his mind and heart. Remus thought he was robbed of happiness; he felt cursed for being born a werewolf. He wanted his pain to go away. Meanwhile, Romulus saw something on the ground, a small garden shovel he got a hold of, and pushed Leah out of the way. Leah was on the floor, trying to understand what was happening. She felt a warm liquid on her leg, and when she looked up, her mouth became wide.

"AAAAHHHHH!!"
