Chapter 0166
Silver's POV
"Moonshine?" I asked, staring at the doctor with a blank face. "I don't understand what that is."
I had never heard of it before.
"It's a toxin that disrupts memory and creates blockages that could prohibit the use of magic as well," Dr. Scott explained. "It's a difficult drug to find and I'm honestly amazed your brother was capable of getting his hands on such a thing." "Is there a way to reverse it?" I asked, afraid to know the answer.
"Yes," a voice sounded from nearby.
When I looked up, I was surprised to see Elliot's sister, Charolette, leaning against the doorframe.
"Miss Charlotte," Dr. Scott said, bowing to her as she walked into the examination room.
Erik poked his head through with a frown.
"Sorry, she insisted on coming in," he said almost sheepishly.
We made Erik stand outside the room and keep an eye on things while the Doctor spoke to me about the results. I smiled at him.
"It's okay, Erik. You can come in too if you'd like," I offered.
"Are you sure?"
I nodded.
"I think I need a friend right now," I admitted.
He nodded and stepped into the room.
"You would be able to reverse the Moonshine effects?" Dr. Scott asked Charlotte as she went over the examination results.
She nodded thoughtfully.
"Yes," she answered. "I've studied it in the past. It'll take some counter elements to minimize the effects. I already have most of the ingredients. The other stuff I'm sure you'll be able to supply me, Dr. Scott," she said, glancing at him. He nodded eagerly.
"Yes, of course," he told her. "Just let me know what you need."
She then glanced at me and frowned.
"It'll be an uncomfortable process. Regaining memories could be painful. It's like forcing information into your brain before it's ready to receive it. Are you sure you want to go through that?" She asked me.
"If it means remembering everything I can so I can help figure out what my brother is after, then yes. I'll do whatever it takes," I said without hesitation.
She gave me a curt nod.
"Then, I'll get started on the potion. It might take me a little while. You should get more rest in the meantime. You'll need your strength for this," she told me.
"Thank you, Charlotte," I said to her.
She left the room without another word and the doctor followed closely behind her.
"How are you holding up?" Erik asked me. I shrugged and sighed.
"I'm frustrated. I wish I could remember what happened, but my mind is blank. The only thing I can remember is my brother's face and him telling him how he was going to prove that Elliot doesn't love me."
"Well, he was proved wrong," Erik said with a grin. "The whole purpose of him switching your scents was to make Elliot think that Shirley was actually you and he failed to do so. He would never betray you. He loves you."
I smiled at the thought. Elliot does love me. He realized that Shirley wasn't me alone; he would have come for me even if Erik hadn't called him.
"Get some rest," Erik said, patting my shoulder. "You look exhausted."
I nodded and I watched as he left the room.
I had always felt like such an outcast growing up; I was the only one in the pack without a wolf. During the phone moon I turned into some kind of monster; it never really seemed fair. But I feel like everything is finally coming together and I'm going to get the answers that I so desperately needed.
At some point, I must have fallen
asleep. I felt a warm hand on my forehead, and I wiggled in the comfortable bedding as the soft fingers caressed my head and
brushed my hair out of my fan netConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
When I opened my eyes, I was
surprised to see that I was outside. I blinked a few times, basking in the warm sunlight as washed across my skin and warmed my every feature.
I was lying on a plush bed of grass that tickled the palms of my hands. I could smell the incredible scents of wildflowers blooming around me and the chirping of birds in the nearby trees. Crickets and frogs sang a lullaby, making me almost sleepy again. But the hand caressing my face kept me awake.
I blinked a few times and lifted my body so I could see my surroundings. I didn't recognize the place I was in, but I felt at peace there. It almost felt like home.
I gasped when I saw the large white
wolf sleeping beside me. White
wolves were incredibly rare, and she was incredibly beautiful. I wanted to reach out and touch her soft fur wanted to run my fingers through her mane of hair and feel that she was real. For some reason, it felt as if I knew this wolf.
"You have awoken, my child," a woman said from the other side of me. I gasped again and turned to face the most gorgeous lady I had ever seen in my life.
Her hair was white and flowered
silkily around her shoulders and
down her back. Within her hair, were
vines of white roses that blended with the white gown that hugged her form perfectly. The silky fabric of her
gown flowed to the ground and spread across the grass, covering her feet. Her porcelain skin was almost glowing under the illuminating rays of the sun. Her features were colorful, and I noticed how flawless she was right away.
