# Chapter 47 – Alexander (POV): The Memory Unlocked
I was in bed with Nanisa when the pain hit.
Felt like someone shoved a burning poker through my skull. I shot up screaming. Nanisa woke up fast.
"Alex? What's wrong?"
I couldn't answer. Couldn't think. Something was ripping through my head like claws. Tearing at memories I didn't even know I had.
Then it stopped.
But the howling started. From everywhere. Every wolf in the territory screaming like they were dying. Nanisa grabbed my arm. Her nails dug in.
"What's happening?"
I got out of bed. Walked to the window. Outside the pack was running around like chickens with their heads cut off. But that wasn't what got my attention.
It was the memory.
Clear as day now. Like someone turned on a light in a dark room I forgot existed.
I was seven years old. Hiding behind my father's chair in his office. He told me to go to bed but I snuck back down. Wanted to hear the grown-up talk.
