It was like a dream where I was going around the environment I found myself in.

Everyone was avoiding me. Some were distancing themselves when I was coming closer.

I climbed the trees, got some fruits but didn't take them.

A very strange sun was flashing in my eyes steadily like a flash of a headlamp.

The queen I saw was in a white gown. She was putting on a golden crown.

She raised my hand and asked me to proceed to do more. According to her, it is not yet my time and she wouldn't want me to be that way.

In a few minutes, I noticed I had a strong feeling. Feeling I haven't felt before. I gradually woke up.

I got confused about where I was. No one was around. It was in a bush and a very lonely place.

I suspect the queen was the moon goddess. I had enough strength immediately she touched me

I was still confused as to why I should be lonely in an environment I woke up in.

I sat down to see if I could understand the place but I wasn't getting it. A few wolves were going to farm in a human form.

I observed them where I was sitting, but they did not see me.

I stood up after I watched them pass. About seven of them lined up talking to each other.

I wasn't feeling hungry, nor did I have anything to eat. Yet to know where I am and the reason I am where I am

I started moving around the place. A strange land and in a bush.

I met a hunter in the bush who asked me my name I was looking at him confused

He asked me to hold on that he will be back soon.

There was a fire he lit up. Stayed back to avoid the fire getting close to me

In a while, he brought me water to wash my face and hands which I did

I touched his gun, raised it up but he collected it from me

"Take this and eat from me. It is a bush meat, well prepared. I killed it this morning." He said as he handed me a plate of bush meat.

I collected it but was reluctant to eat it. I asked him to hold off that I eat later.

He brought a roasted yam from his hot pot and served it to me, but I still didn't want to take it.

"Why are you isolating me as if you do not know who I am?" He asked, frowning at her face.

"What is your name, and where exactly are we?" I asked.

He smiled at me and told me he had been kind to me and wouldn't want to see me being angry for any reason, but he had a question.

"I know for a few months we met, we communicated well whenever I came here to hunt for animals around this Forest."

"Is it that during the period I was away, you lost your memory?"

His explanation and questions got me worried. He must have known me, which is why he was friendly with me.

To get the information I wanted, I had to play along. I have to pretend and follow up on him.

"Yes, I fell sick and lost my memory of the period you were not around. You stayed for too long without coming. I need your help."

Hearing from me, he dropped the food he was eating, washed his hands, and asked me to come closer.

I went closer to him, he held me, and told me he would help me to heal

"But you are still very strong as usual, you only have one problem which is memory loss."

"From your earliest explanation, you ran out of the pack following an external attack. You have a baby girl and you have been away for almost a year now. You were lost."

I carefully listened to him. I was confused about what was going on but I knew he was ready to guide me through.

He took me to the bank of the river close to the forest where he told me we usually stay.

He told me I am good at swimming and he made efforts to ensure I do not drown whenever I go deep.

"You know you have some stubbornness in you, I handle you with care and caution to avoid you being drowned following your reckless swimming."

"Did I tell you where I am from, the pack that was attacked?" I asked.

You didn't buy I made my personal inquiry, you are a Luna of that pack. The reason I treat you with honour and respect.

Being a Luna is a great opportunity among the pack members. I was married to an Alpha, and I decided to live in the forest.

I got more worried but still didn't want him to feel bad for me. I knew I was confused about the environment but I am determined to get to the root of the matter of why I am where I am.

The forest is in two parts, where the garden is very conducive to being. It has some heat, designed for relaxation.

I tried to know why the place is like that. He made me understand it was a pack two years ago but was attacked.

"So why are you here?"

"I was part of the pack, I was the beta of the pack."

"So why did you return?"

"I saw their attack coming, I informed my stubborn Alpha for us to be equipped but he wouldn't listen till their enemies took us unaware." He said.

When I wanted to go further to ask more questions, he told me to halt all I wanted to say.

He took me round the place. Near the river was so calm, the breeze was so chilled that I almost got cold.

He always has his gun for defense in case an animal comes to attack him.

We walked around the place for a long time, and he told me to put my legs in the river, wash my legs, and face.

I did as he directed because I saw myself being very bold to do so. I wasn't sensing any weakness.

After a long walk, I started feeling dizzy and weak. When he noticed, he asked.

"Are you hungry?"

"I wonder why you have yet to eat because I know you are good at consuming food. I also understand that you like food so much."

"Irene, you have to look for a way and eat. You are tired because you haven't yet consumed any food. Inside my hot, your food is there."

He called me Irene and I was surprised. I didn't tell him that, but he called me by that name.

"Why did you call me by that name and who told you it is my name?" I was curious to know.

"A lady who claimed she was your schoolmate called you by that name. She apologized to you for not attending your wedding."

"Where was the lady going?"

"The father owns a livestock farm a few miles away. They were going to check on them, and she saw you with me, but you only smiled at her, never responded to all she said."

I knew that there could be trouble for me if the lady came again to see me.

I needed to stay off where people pass. It has been about a year since she saw me, what will she be thinking?

We agreed to return to his hot so that I could eat. It was obvious that I was weak due to hunger.

"Try to walk fast so you can eat something," Richy said

We got to the hot, and I followed him. It's very cold inside. The plates were open, but the yamss and meat were missing.

I immediately ran out of the place with anger and disappointment. I felt he was fooling me. He must have eaten the food when I went out to urinate

I wasted a little time because I was watching a dancing bed.

I didn't want to see him again but was still hungry and did not have the means of getting what to eat unless he provided it

He came to me and apologized.

"I must confess, that wasn't the first time I experienced what had happened."

I got interested in what he was saying with fear I asked

"Do you have another person with you here? I hope nobody will attack us." I asked in curiosity.

He shook his head in refutation. He made me understand that it was a few dangerous and hungry animals that did that

According to him, they have tried it and he has been killing some of them. The meat in question was one of the animals he killed.

"I have reserved food that they wouldn't be able to get. Follow me so you can eat it."

I followed him back to the heat. He served me the food he had reserved, and I ate satisfactorily.

I got some relief and my strength came back fully.

"You have to help me with something."

"What could that be?"

"I don't want to be seen around at the moment. I would like to come out when people are not moving around." I said

Richy wasn't worried about that; he told me not to be bothered, he would protect me.

I said so because I needed to reflect on what's happening around me and engage in thinking deeply about my body.

My body seemed strange, although I am full of vigour. I am strong but not acquainted with my body. A strange body I must say

It was night already and I had a better place to sleep. Richy told me my place is better than his.

I noticed when I went there with him.

What I do not know is why the Alpha hasn't bothered to look for me. He has a Luna and shouldn't have left his Luna elsewhere.

A year is a long time. My former pack was attacked, and I ran away, according to Richy the hunter.

If the Alpha couldn't find me, I should look for a way to search for him but I couldn't.

Some questions I ask Richy sometimes appear to be very embarrassing. He understands but I shouldn't completely trust him

I saw that I had some predicaments and I shouldn't rely only on Richy to get better

I have to start studying my body and know what I am doing and the best way I can do it.

I need to look for my Alpha. If he is dead I would like to know. If he is alive, I should go on and renew my relationship with him.

I don't know how to locate him and I must say that is where Richy should help.

Nevertheless, why hasn't Richy forced me to look for my Alpha all this time? A year to be precise.

The hunter could have decided to allow me to sort myself. He respects me as a Luna, and that makes him careful about the way he treats me.

I keep having this running stock that I couldn't sleep very well. Begging and waiting for the day to break

I made a decision to give myself time and study my body system. I observed that I move very fast and do things without grudges.

The day had come and I decided to go to the river without informing Richy.

Along the line, I saw some water. I changed my mind not to move to the river. I took my birth and I noticed a relief.

Apart from the water I used in washing my legs and face, water never touched my body since I woke up from where I do not understand.

After taking my bath I decided to look for the hunter for food. He told me I am a stranger wolf and I consume a lot of food.

He had promised to get me some food anytime I wanted to eat. He goes and comes back. He meets many people and supplies bush meat to some restaurants in town.

He requested that I join him but I turned him down to avoid people seeing me

I got to his house, but he wasn't around. I became pained because I needed food

He didn't drop off a message or check on me before going out.

All I wanted was to eat food and go back to my house.

I tried to open his door to get food, but I was scared of the notorious animals attacking me.

No one will save me if they come after me. We live in a deserted pack that is in a large forest that has a river closer to it

The forest and river have different types of wild animals. It is only two of us that I know who live there

I rushed in and took the food from where he keeps the reserves.

I ran like a crowd was after me. I had to run so I could avoid the dangerous animals.

I got to my small house and locked up the place. Panting like a runner far than one thousand miles

He had told me someone greeted me and said we went to the same school.

I must say that I do not know if I actually attended school. Since it appears that I am having a memory loss, I couldn't ascertain if I was in school in the first place, or talk of having a schoolmate.

I feel secure because I have locked my room. Richy must have gone hunting early and decided to go and supply his customers.

I am the only human in the forest. I have not gone to defend myself from external attacks

I got to feed from the food I collected. Enough meat in it. I ate till I got tired of eating.

I washed my hands and wasn't ready to open my door. I needed to rest a little so I decided to rest my head.

I fell asleep in a few minutes.

I saw myself wallowing around. From one part of the place to another.

I noticed I am being chased around by a few individuals who want to kidnap me.

I hid my face as I ran into a tunnel. They crossed the tunnel. I locked through the hole and noticed they had gone far.

I ran back to where I was. Another group came to attack me but the passersby saved me.

They took me to a party with them. I was scared of dancing or participating in whatever they were doing

I approached one of them to take me back home. He refused, insisting that the road was too rough for us to go

There were so many strange faces. I couldn't recognize anyone of them and I didn't want to care about them

"Help me to go home I don't like it here you people brought me," I begged another of them

He was laughing at me, pointing his hand at my face to be careful. I came to realize that he was drunk.

I approached the third person who politely asked me to give him some time.

I saw him waving at me from afar. I was reluctant to go and meet with him

I would rather ask him to come closer, as the exit door is where I am.

He frowned and started shouting at me. With the fear of creating a scene, I decided to follow him.

Stepping into the room was a huge man who raised his hand to cut my head, I shouted and woke up but a hand covered my mouth and face

"Stop shouting. You must have had a normal nightmare. Shouting could attract anomalies."

I had the voice but couldn't see the face because my eyes were gradually clearing.

When I completely got back my site, I saw Richy sitting by my bedside

"How did you get here? I locked the place inside. I wasn't expecting you, and where did you go?"

"Your questions are too many. Which of them would I answer first?"

I was looking at him lost. You did scare me. Waiting for him to let me know how he came in, he wasn't talking.

"Could you please answer my questions? I don't care how many there are. Start talking."

"I have the key to this room, Irene. I wondered how you could forget so easily. I remembered you had lost your memory."

"For where I am coming from, I went to supply my customers with some pork meat I killed."

I was satisfied with his response, even though I wasn't comfortable that someone else had the key to my house.

His statement showed that I am aware that he has a spare key and I wouldn't want to drag it

I told him I was hungry, and I went to collect food from him without his knowledge, and I apologized to him.

His reaction didn't show that he was angry; rather, he told me that he kept the food because of me.

"You are very beautiful. Your husband must've missed you a lot. As beautiful as my late wife."

I got interested in his words. "Her late wife."

I decided to ask him to tell me what happened to her.

"I lost her in an attack two years ago. Daily, I go to her grave to show her that I love her even in death."

I felt pity to see him speak about his wife in tears. He is such a nice person. He had shown me that everyone matters to him.

His stories about his customers were encouraging. They are happy with him since he doesn't disappoint them.

I pleaded with him to wipe his tears and he listened to me.

He requested we have a walk but I turned him down. I didn't want to be moving around with him since I needed to understand myself better

He called me Irene the second time and told me that he has keys to my apartment which I am not even aware of.

It is incredible to me, and I wouldn't want to ask him before he starts making references to my memory loss.

I followed him to drop the plates I used for eating. Though I asked him to hand them over to me, I refused.

By age, I saw him as an elder. If he could be older than the Alpha of his pack that was destroyed, then he must be far older than I and should deserve some respect.

He walked me back to my house after I had dropped the plates in his hot car

"Why do you live in the hot. Is it not conducive to my understanding?"

"I was living in your house, that's the only good place the attackers didn't destroy. I decided to vacate the place upon your arrival "

*Yes I remember now." I said in pretence to avoid him mentioning the memory loss issue.

He was shocked to hear such from me.

I watched from afar and saw fearful wolves coming in human form. I ran to my house to avoid being identified as Irene.

The lady Irene must be popular. I am not Irene, and if I am, why am I not understanding so many things?

Let's assume that I am not Irene, then who am I

I heard voices and I kept calm. They started discussions with Richy. He was still holding his gun on his shoulder.

I presumed he knew them. They could be his customers since I heard one say, " Don't forget tomorrow. I looked through the keyhole and saw them.

Two males and five females. They were moving through the track road. A distance from the forest.

Richy was accompanying them. He turned his back and asked the one behind him to go to the front

I was watching with keen interest. I observed that they must have been coming around which Richy never mentioned to me

As Irene, he would believe I am aware. While I am studying my body and what I am made of, I started noticing the smell of a few things.

It wasn't like that but I was glad of some transformation going on in me.

I went back to my bed and sat down.

I was glad that I moved fast before Richy's guess came. Though they took him unaware, I was glad he didn't protest when I ran inside because of his guess.

A knock came through the door, and I knew it was Richy. Trying to open the door wasn't easy.

I decided to look very well through the hole, where two guys were discussing.

Could it be that they knocked on my door?

I was silent and decided to observe.

Richy returned, standing with them. They brought him some money he made from bush meat sales.

After the Long discussion, he saw them off and returned knocking on my door.

I opened the door to let him in.

"I want to go get you food for lunch, I will be back soon. Lock the door." He said and left immediately.

I locked the door based on his instructions. Even though I would have still done the same without being told

It didn't take him long to return which signified the place wasn't too far.

"Why so fast?" I asked as I opened the door for him.

I realized that I came back from the restaurant with some food. Going there would take me a long time and you could be hungry.

"People will no longer be coming here. I am done with them for the day. I know you are avoiding them." He said with confidence.

I knew he was correct by saying I was avoiding them

I joined him despite his hot words against my earlier decision.

He served me some fruits he brought from his bag. They were fine and I ate them all

He shifted to another side of the pack I haven't been to.

It has flowers and small trees. It is a garden and a very cute place for relaxation. I fell in love with them

"You're smiling and touching the flowers. The same thing you were doing the day I met you here. What has changed?"

"I could see you love flowers, touching and smelling them is your hubby "

I didn't respond to him but continued touching the flowers.

Richy asked me to allow him to go and drop the remaining fruits in his room.

I nodded my head in acceptance. I watched him go far when I decided to climb one of the trees.

I looked from far away and saw people moving around like they were in a marketplace.

I suspected that was one of the places Richy goes to supply them with bush meat.

I turned my back and saw the size of the river. It was a huge one, and there were some fishermen where I was watching.

Some canoes and boats were moving around, carrying people from one location to another.

It was an exciting moment to see such.

I looked towards my right, that is where the main forest is. I couldn't see much.

Richy goes there to catch or kill some animals. Though in the distance, I wasn't glad I was in such an environment.

I came down from the tree yet Richy wasn't back.

Facing where the forest is. I was imagining how one has been surviving there when I was surprisingly being held from behind.
