Alright! So next chapter! So for the wait but school as been a tough journey, but I'm ok! :D Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy! There will be some things I will explain at the end!

He woke up in a bare room, slowly opening his eyes trying to make sense of his surroundings. He didn't know why but this situation was similar to him, that he needed to get out of here as soon as possible. He lifted himself up as he tried to look around the dark room, searching for any life form that he could but there seemed to be no one here except him….

He let out a low whine before realizing what he was doing. He tried to think of the last thing he was doing before he woke up here but was drawing a blank, it hurt to think about it. The door suddenly opened making him jump back at the blonde haired man that was carry a tray?

He raised his head as the man going to a corner of the room, turning on a light, motioning for him to come to him, which he did. The man rubbed his head affectionately, having him rub his head against the hand.

"Are you alright Ace?"

Ace….

Ace….?

Who was Ace?

"Who is that mister?"

"That's….no one. Do you remember your name?"

"No….I don't…."

"That's okay little one. You don't remember but you were Arin."

Arin, why did that sound wrong? Why did Ace sound Ace sound right? His name must be Arin, the man won't lie to him, he knew that for sure. Arin felt as if he could trust this man with his life and more….But why he felt like this he didn't know….

Arin smiled at the man before he walked forward to the man who put the tray down on a table. Arin was practically drooling over the food at this point but was stopped by the man, his chin was tugged before he felt something was covering his lips. He realized that the yellowed haired man was kissing him, it felt wrong but right as well. Why he so confused….?

He kissed back shyly before tugging himself away, no he couldn't this man didn't make him feel right, in fact it made him feel the opposite.

"Why did you do that? Why did you say Ace before I woke up?"

"You and I were in a relationship before you lose your memory, might not remember me but that's ok….I just want you to get better ok?"

Arin nodded at the man before inhaling the food on his plate, it was second best thing he had tasted in his life!

...

...?

Second best? How come he thought that, surely he must have had something better, but he couldn't remember anything close to that….Arin shrugged before finishing his plate off giving it to the blonde hair man. The man took the plate when he was done while grabbing his hand? Ace was lead down the hall as he felt like he had done this before, the man passing the plate to another before making his room down a hall leading him nito a room. In the room was a bed, with a desk and closet. He smiled at Arin before having him sit then pushing him down?

"Let's lie together for a bit, hm?"

"Ok…."

They both laid down with Arin lying in the man's arms. Arin smiling before letting his dreams take him….

Ace's Dream

Ace opened his eyes, noticed he was lying down before he sat up. He was sitting in the snow? Ace got up on his feet walking around before he felt himself being tackled. He looked down to see the smiling boys on his chest, he didn't have a clue about who they were though….

"Ace! Look at we caught! Hey go get the fish and show him!"

Ace? Was that his name? But that blonde haired man told him that his name was Arin….He shook his head before accepting that name, because somehow it just felt right….When he went to look at the other boy, he noticed the boy looked guilty?

"You ate the fish we got for Ace!"

"But I couldn't help it I was hungry!"

"But we-"

Ace didn't really know what to do to settle the boys but it seemed his body already knew what to do. Ace put his hands on the boys head giving them a smile.

"It's ok Sabo and Luffy, I can hunt for some more food."

"Ace you have a cold….We wanted to do something nice for you but I ruined it…."

"You tried your best Lu and you two are the ones who need the food the most. I can go a week or two without food."

The two boys smiled at him before declaring they were going to get another catch before running off.

Ace watched as they faded before he turned seeing the same blonde man before. Mar- Mar-something…. The man came closer giving Ace the warmest smile that not even the real one gave him when they did anything intimate….Ace smiled back at the man as he hugged Ace.

"Come on Ace, let's go get some food then we can go see more of the sectors yoi. Thatch should be preparing lunch right now."

Ace looked at the man as his eyes started to well up. He didn't know why but the tears started to fall, he reached out to him as the man started to walk away. Ace called out but why wasn't the man turning around?

"Wait!"

"Please!"

"Please wait Marco-

Ace jolted awake looking around, looking to his side to see the blonde man still asleep. He was lying to him, they weren't and never were lovers. He was just a stranger, and Ace fell for it. Memories or not, he had betrayed Marco, his mate.

Ace got up before looking for anything he need to leave because he wasn't going to stay here, he need his mate….But with the turn of events would Marco accept him after all this time or after he had laid in the arms in another? He only had one way to find out.

Ace turned back one last time before making his way out the room and hopely find his way out of whatever he was. He held his head as the pain of his getting his memories were still fresh, there were still some parts missing but some were better than none and being kept prisoner here. He didn't bother to look around corners as because even if he did someone would see him anyway if he checked.

Ace kept referencing back to his memories to find the way but as docile as he was without memories they sure didn't trust him outside still, smart move on their part but this was just annoying. Ace clutched his ears as he hear a piercing siren blaring, man his ears felt like they were going to explode but he started to run anyway.

Guards came to block his way as he came their way, Ace's mind flashed to a similar time before turning into his wolf and leaping over them, but unlike last time he won't get caught. He made his way past any that came across him ducking and dodging starting to slow down to the sheer numbers that were trying to overwhelm him. He stopped as a massive amount of guards in front of him and in back of him surrounding him.

"You should know your place but it seems your memories have left you disobedient again! This time I will erase your memories and make sure they are gone! Men, grab him!"

Ace didn't want to lose his memories of Marco, his family again….he never wants that ag-

A blinding light blue light filled all of their vision trying to cover themselves from it.

Ace didn't know it but it was coming from him.

When it stopped Ace was quicker to open his eyes and to see his chance. He almost felt as he flew past the guards and the doctor before hitting the ground, running to find the exit. He heard the doctor tell them to fire, he felt bullets zoom past him as likewise some of them hit his body, but he didn't stop as he turned finally seeing the exit.

He felt as if he had a renewed energy as he ran to the exit, noticing it was keycard locked.

No….

No…

No!

Ace turned to the people running after him noticing the doctor was as well. Something glinted in Ace's eyes….He squinted at, his eyes widening.

It was a keycard!

It might not be able to open the door but it was worth the shot! He ran to them, the guards becoming frozen as he bared his teeth.

"What are you dimwits doing get hi-Aaahhhhhh!"

Ace snarled as he launched himself as the man, digging his teeth quickly into the julgar to end his life. He grabbed the keycard before he jolted from the man's corpse, he ran it over the pad, relief filling him as he was finally able to get free.

"Men snap out of it, he's escaping!"

Ace ran into the cover of the snowy trees, but there weren't much trees to begin so he felt more bullets adding to the ones into his already tired body. As Ace looked back after what seemed like forever he finally began to slow down, the adrenaline finally running out and the full rush started to invade him.

He collapsed in the snow his muzzle and body getting colder as the dark started to invade his vision. Ace felt hot wet trails going down his face, slightly happy he was at least to escape and die in the wild. He turned into his human form, touching the hidden mark on his neck that was given in the starlight of the night.

He closed his eyes knowing this was the last time he would be able to touch it….

Ace closed his eyes as his he began to feel nothing at all.

Hey, what's up! Anyway, the humanity! I know I'm mean to Ace but I can't deny that I love the guy! Anyway, I know how I'm going to end this story, nothing over dramatic I promise! I think the next chapter or the one after that will be the end! I know this chapter is shorter then the others but I hoped you still enjoyed! Until next time!
