Author's note: This is from Duke's point of view

- - -

After Zoe and Luca left, I took some time to think about Zoe's words related to mates and the bond.

Smell, taste, attraction. It was all there.

Doesn't that mean I could feel the bond?

The only thing I was missing were the sparks, but maybe Zoe was talking about them figuratively. I mean, I do get all tingly when I touch Serina, but I always thought it was just my excitement.

Am I overthinking this?

Can my wolf feel the sparks? He felt that Serina was not dead.

Maybe the only thing missing was for me to get into Serina's head. If I could get in there, I would see what's going on and hopefully get her out.

As part of the preparations for awakening my wolf, I spent quite some time with Serina meditating so… I should be able to do it.

I kissed Serina's unmoving lips. "Wait for me, my love… I'm coming…"

I held her hand into mine and I closed my eyes, ready to enter her subconsciousness, just how she entered mine.

…

I was lying next to Serina for hours while trying to get into her subconsciousness, but I didn't achieve anything other than a few naps.

How frustrating.

I thought about everything I knew, and as much as I hated to admit it, I realized that I couldn't do this on my own.

Luca said that he talks to his wolf when he needs assistance, and they are partners. It works both ways.

Maybe it's time for me to reach out to my wolf. For Serina's sake.

'Hey, are you there?', I called out in my mind.

Silence.

'It's for Serina.'

'What about her?', he responded with a question, a bit too eager for my taste.

'You should know about her condition, right?', I asked.

'And?'

'I should be able to get into her mind, just how she got into mine, but I am missing something.'

'You are missing me.', he said smugly.

Bastard.

'Did you call me to insult me or because you need my help?'

Oh, right. He can hear my thoughts even when I don't want him to hear my thoughts. Great.

'I don't need your help.', I grumbled. 'Serina does. Do you want to help her or not?'

'Sure, whatever you say. How do I get into her mind?'

Did he really think I will let him go on his own? 'Not you. We. WE! But first, I need to know if you feel anything unusual when you touch her.'

He was quiet and I was not sure if he was thinking about his answer or if he was just messing with me.

'She was holding your hand.', I reminded him.

'I know.', he said.

'Well?'

He scoffed. 'That's private.'

I couldn't believe this. 'Don't you want to help? We need to work together and that starts with the exchange of information.'

'Yes, I could feel the sparks.'

He obviously knew what I wanted to know. How much was he listening while I was talking to Zoe and Luca? Probably everything. But I didn't feel him. Doesn't that mean he can sneak up on me anytime?

'Unless I want you to sense me, you won't.', my wolf said smugly. 'By the way, the sparks are wonderful, addictive. Just from holding hands, I got hard. If you were not there, I would pounce on her and...'

"Enough!", I shouted aloud. I really didn't want to listen to his nonsense, but this was not the time to fight with him either.

'Let's focus on the task at hand. I am not sure if this will work, but since you can feel the bond, I believe that you are the missing piece. Follow my lead and don't touch anything. If we are in her mind and make a mess, the consequences might be unimaginable…'

I didn't want to work with him. I didn't want to have anything to do with him. However, this was for Serina and if cooperating with my wolf could help her, I was willing to put my grudges on the side. For now.

...

I lost count of the number of attempts when I noticed that I was in a long and narrow hallway with numerous doors on each side.

'I think we are in', I heard my wolf talking in my mind.

'Yeah…', I responded and observed that I and my wolf were in one body.

We picked a direction and started walking down the hallway while looking at the doors we passed by.

Every door seemed different. Some were dark, some bright, and some were colorful. Wood, plastic, frosted glass, and heavy iron. Several doors were so flimsy that it looked like they will fall apart at any moment, and there were doors that seemed to be airtight, and some even had chains and padlocks. The only thing they all had in common was that they were closed.

'What is Serina keeping locked inside?', my wolf asked, and I felt the urge to get closer and peer through one door wooden door that had gaps between planks.

I gave in to the urge to see a modest bedroom and a woman pulling the curtains aside, to let the light in.

"Wake up. It's time for school…", the woman said.

"Mom… five more minutes… pleeeaaaaaseeee", a girly voice whined from under the covers, and I smiled. I would recognize that voice anywhere. Serina.

The woman turned and faced the bed with her hands akimbo. "Not a second more. Get up or you will be late." And then she yanked the cover.

'Why are mate's memories locked?', my wolf asked.

'I don't know.' I really didn't. 'If she is in one of these rooms, it might take forever to find her, but we can't open these doors haphazardly. There must be a reason why they are closed. I have a bad feeling about this. We need to find her.'

This time, my wolf agreed with me, and we started walking down the hallway in hurried steps.

I have no idea for how long I went before light piano music reached me.

The bubbling excitement inside me confirmed that my wolf also felt Serina was nearby.

I broke into a jog and then into a run until I reached the end of the hallway that opened into a big circular room, and I recognized it as the piano room in our home.

While we designed our home, Serina was excited when the audio specialist said how that room will have good acoustics, and Serina told me how she will play the piano often, but she was always busy with one thing or another and didn't get to it. I guessed that now she was playing to her heart's content, right here, in her mind.

Serina was sitting on a leather bench, in front of a grand piano, just like the one we have at home. It belonged to my mother and we refurbished it.

Serina was absolutely breathtaking.

Her fingers flew over the keys, and she swayed lightly, completely immersed in the enchanting music I couldn't recognize. Was it her original piece? Probably. Serina always loved composing and coming up with varieties to the existing tunes.

I approached her cautiously, unsure if my presence will startle her.

Only when I was so close that I nearly touched the piano, did Serina acknowledge my presence.

Her fingers stopped moving, and the last note still echoed in the space around us as she examined me with her gorgeous gray eyes.

My stomach dropped. Why did she look at me like she didn't recognize me?

"How did you get here?", she asked.

"Do you know who I am?" I needed confirmation.

She narrowed her eyes for a moment before responding, "Drago Orsini."

I couldn't believe this. She never called me by that name, unless someone else was present, someone who didn't know I was Mateo, and when it was just the two of us, she would call me Duke.

"Are you sure?"

Her exquisite eyebrows shoot up. "Should you be someone else? Does Drago have a twin? Or…"

"Enough!", I shouted impatiently and then quickly backtracked, while cursing my wolf and his temper that blindsided me. "I'm sorry, Serina…"

"Serina?", she asked like she heard about it the first time.

I stared at her. Please, tell me this is a joke. This must be a joke.

She didn't remember me as Duke or as Mateo, and she didn't know that for the last four years she is Seraphina Mezzanotte. What else did she forget?

'If she forgot everything from the last four years, and me, why are we in this room that was completed less than a month ago, playing the piano that belonged to my mother?'

'Maybe it's selective. I have a feeling that mate forgot everything that is locked in those rooms we passed by', my wolf said.

I was not willing to accept this.

"Sanya?", I called and she relaxed, happy that I got it right. "Do you know what's in that hallway there?"

I gestured in the direction from where I came, only to see that there are dozens of hallways in all directions, just like the one I came from.

"Doors", Serina responded.

"Do you know what's behind them?"

Serina shrugged, indicating that she doesn't.

"Can you open them?"

"I don't know how.", she said.

I let out a long breath. This was horrible.

'Mate is alive', my wolf spoke again. 'You showed me memories of how you won her over, even if she can't get her memories back, you can make her love you again. We can do it together.'

Bastard! I could feel his happiness because if Serina forgot about me, I lost the edge I had over him. But he was right… Serina was alive and that was all that mattered.
