POV: Ash
The coffee mug slipped from my hands and crashed to the floor when I heard Ember scream from upstairs.
I ran toward our bedroom, taking the steps three at a time. My heart hammered against my chest as I pushed open the door to find Ember sitting up in bed, her green eyes wide with terror.
"Where are my babies?" she cried, looking around wildly. "Someone took my babies!"
"Hey, hey, calm down," I said softly, sitting on the edge of the bed. "The twins are safe. They're sleeping in the nursery next door."
Ember stared at me like I was a stranger. "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"
The words hit me like a punch to the gut. Three days had passed since she woke up in the hospital, and every morning was the same. She remembered nothing from the last two years - not our love, not our bond, not even that we were mates.
"I'm Ash," I said gently. "I'm your mate. We live together, remember?"
