Amarantha's POV "No..." I quickly ran toward her.I let her head rest on my lap while she was spitting blood."Don't die on me! Please!" I cried. I didn't care if everyone saw me crying.They may be too bewildered to see me coming back from the dead. But I don't care. Ava needs me. I need to heal her before it's too late..."Ava, don't die on me! You can't do this to me. We're a team, right? You promised me!""I... I'm sorry, Amarantha... for leaving you behind. It has to be... this way..." she whispered."No! There has to be another way. Not like this. You can still come back in this body. Please, Ava, don't leave me!""I don't have energy left of me. I told you... it has to be this way. We need to eliminate this b-body..." she replied. "You are meant to be in that body which we are born with. Cherish it. Do whatever's necessary. Keep your promise to him. It is your final duty as a chimera..."After a brief silence, Ava's breaths stopped. Her eyes kept open and stopped moving. Her m
Iram's POV"Your Majesty! There has been a commotion outside. The guards in the dungeon are in chaos. A prisoner has escaped!" an Iota reported to me while I was in my library.I never wanted to go out of this room. After sulking at how I begged Annie to stay, I stayed cowardly for a couple of hours after sleeping. When I woke up, she was nowhere to be found."Who's the prisoner?""W-well... the one who is claiming to be the former Luna's sister."I suddenly got up and immediately left the room without saying anything.That was when I saw everything.I saw how one of the guards clawed her back. I saw another Amarantha running toward her.My heart beats so fast. I froze in my position. I blinked in disbelief. "H-how is this possible?"I saw how she mourned the death of her sister. But what startled me was the next scene.The dead Amarantha changed its face. It became someone else. Someone I know."A-Annie?" Tears started to fall from my eyes. I shook my head meekly. "No. This isn't tru
Iram's POV That same feeling again.I narrowed my eyes.How did this thing happen? How can a great connection try to go away and then come back?With this confusion I am feeling, I started to flinch. Goosebumps started to crawl on my skin.Did she come back?"Your Majesty!" one of the Iotas called out. It made me come back to my senses. "Your Majesty, what shall we do? She's in great pain."I didn't reply. Instead, I entered the cell and move her body onto my lap.She was convulsing like in a trance. Her eyes grew white and pale. Her eyelids are bloodshot. Beads of sweat dripped from her temples and neck. I felt her tremendous shaking. It was painful to see her like this. I eventually cried in front of her.She was caught in a trance. I doubt that she could feel me around her, and so did the guards."A-Amarantha? Is this really you?" I asked though I was not expecting a reply from her. "Please say anything..."I poured out my tears. They landed on her cheeks as she continuously convu
Inima's POV I slammed my fists on the kitchen counter inside Iñigo's residence.I should have killed her already!"How did this happen? I've never failed my entire life. I've never failed!" I shoved all the things on top of the counter including the tea cups and wine glasses that shattered to pieces as they reached the ground. "I know she's back. I could feel her soul within that body. She's weak and I don't feel any chimera ability within her. So, that twin of hers already died? The one that was inside that bitch luna?" I screamed again and broke another glass.I should have known! That Annie Thompson was eerie enough when she came in Prima Tierra. How could I miss out on her being a chimera? Was it because the body was from a she-wolf?"Could you please stop destroying my things? I've had enough of this, Inima. I need to think thoroughly without any disruptions," Iñigo pleaded but his stern voice ticked my patience to none.I roughly turned to him with a spiteful look. "That's all
Inima's POV I struggled to breathe. All I know is that I have to move fast.Should I tell Iñigo about this body's malfunctions? Should I get rid of this problem on my own?I shook my head frantically. My visions started doubling. I grabbed something near me to balance myself but it was no use.A stinging sound pierced my ears. I protested in pain. My head was spinning, lighter than usual. I went numb because of it. My sweat profusely rained on my face and body."S-stop..." I pleaded breathlessly.I started looking back at the moment I took over this body. Did I miscalculate everything? Was I sure I trapped Lorna's soul in the mirror or the mirror fooled me to believe that I did?I wasn't so sure anymore.As a she-wolf born in a cursed way, chimeras in my era were allowed to use witchcraft despite its threat to civilized werewolves like Prima Tierra Pack. My father's family has hidden our secret for long years to be able to come in a prominent way possible. But she-wolves were only gr
Inima's POVI was born to achieve my goals in life. It was how I was raised by my family.I never back down.But when the conflict arise when I found out that I was a chimera. With two souls and two wolves in one body, I was greatly distorted. I somehow resented my family's lineage. I even fell apart as I discovered that I have two mates.Iram and his father.I thought that the dark past will not resurface again.That's why I came to do this. If I may die a horrible death inside this vessel, then I should at least do this before I die.While kissing Iram, I couldn't help but sob little tears of pain inside my heart.Is this the end of my journey? Is this how I would end my life without even trying to achieve what I yearn for? To be loved by him.I didn't want anything else in this world. I didn't need power. It's only useless for me. But luckily, I got this in order for me to achieve my desires.My only desire is him. Him alone.Our kiss deepened as my thoughts led me back to the past
Inima's POVI was the one who got up first.I didn't want to further drown myself in his eyes. It hurts like hell to even do it. It makes me want to be selfish again.No. Not with this miserable body. Not now that I am still yet to figure out what to do.Tezcatlipoca is already useless to me. He won't help me because I know I have abused his power. But he is my prisoner now. He didn't have any choice but to do what I ask him to.I left Iram all by himself. I didn't let any eye contact delay me further. After some occasions of being Lorna, I cleaned many things around including the castle grounds. Afternoon came and I was on my way to the border when suddenly, a woman stopped in front of me.At first, I didn't recognize her but when I tried to remember, I widened my eyes. Two memories of her suddenly came to me. My memory and Lorna's memory.In Lorna's memory, she is a good sister-in-law. While in my memory, she is none other than my good-for-nothing sister.Shintara smirked in front o
Inima's POV"W-what did you say?""Why? Don't you want to use Lorna's vessel a little longer? If you're not interested, I can always ask Scar to awaken her right now..." Shintara threatened."No!" I instantly disagreed. "I-I'm just startled, that's all. Why do we have to go to such lengths when you know I am not her..." I muttered.This situation is already humiliating for me! My own brother will mark me inside this weak vessel?This is insane!But what choice do I have? I need to agree to their terms or else I'll lose the chance to live longer. Besides, they already know that I will transfer my soul to another vessel. That means I will no longer be inside this body. I will no longer get humiliated that once in my life, I asked my half-siblings for a favor.Scar and I were the only ones left in the room. It was an awkward atmosphere around. The last time I saw him was years ago before they left Prima Tierra to become rogues. All I could think of at that time was resentment and anger t
