A Gamma's Revenge (Zalia) novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353 A Picture
Mateja’s p.o.v.

I’ll be damned, the picture was genuine. This is so creepy, we could be twins if it weren’t for me being a Mountain Lion and a lot older.

“Does she know?” I ask Amir, even though I have an idea that she is as oblivious as I had been.

“No, no one does. I thought it was better if they saw for themselves, I want them to see you before we tell them your connection to Lucas and what his plan was for you.” Amir tells me, while the SUV pulls to a stop in front of the Palace.

There are many people out there waiting for us; two of them wear the same uniform as Amir, Commanders of the King’s Army.

A male who is standing behind Giselle has his eyes locked with mine and they seem to be pulling on the memories I can no longer access. He seems familiar and yet he is a complete stranger to me.

My eyes get pulled away from the male when a hand is placed on my arm and Amir gently pulls me out of the SUV, almost encouraging me to take my first step towards answers. Echo forces me to follow Amir out of the vehicle and my eyes wander back to the male.

As I step away from the SUV and the male starts walking down the steps, a look of pure shock on his face as he softly whispers, “Mateja?” in a questioning voice.

“Your Majesty, it is best if we discuss this in the privacy of your private floor.” Amir says as he places his hand on my lower back and instinctively I take a step closer to Amir’s side.

Everyone follows the King into the Palace, but Giselle keeps looking at me with almost visible question marks in her eyes. Prince Casimir finally gets her to move and Amir pushes me gently to follow them.

Everyone stares at me the moment the door closes behind us and Amir guides me to a two-seater near the window. He sits down next to me and I feel relieved that I don’t have to do this alone.

“Before anyone starts asking questions, there is something you should know. Mateja can’t remember anything from the first year of her life, Clover says that she was probably administered a poison to make her forget certain things.” Amir explains, before he turns to the familiar, yet unknown male.

“Gianni, you seem to know Mateja. Can you tell us how you know her?” Amir asks him and I am glad that I have a name to go with the face.

“My Cousin is her Father, we never found out where Charlotte took her.” Gianni answers and now I am confused. “Your Mother.” Gianni clarifies.

My head becomes fuzzy, my vision gets blurred and I struggle to breathe. This is a bit much to take in at once and I fear that I am going to shut down again, but then I feel two hands cup my face.

“Mateja, listen to my voice. Breath in and out.” I hear Amir say. “That’s it, in and out. In and out.”
