Willa's POV Though I was the one bringing it up first, my heart skipped a beat when Kirsch asked me so solemnly. "Are you sure about this?" I mumbled, my heart pounding in my chest. I didn't know I was so nervous about this. Nox lowered her eyes and dodged my peek, but I know she was excited, too. "I am. I would do anything to break the curse, and even if it doesn't, it still completes both of us, right?" Kirsch glanced at Taran before he answered. I turned to look at Taran, and he just bent and nipped on my shoulder. [Are you really okay with this?] I mumbled at Taran. He curved his lips: [Promise me and I'll give my blessing.] My eyes fell on Nox. The other night when we got back after meeting Stone, Taran came to us and said only one thing-- "If someone takes away their mate mark from a twin, they scar both the twins for life." "I don't plan to take my mark off Kirsch." -- That was how Nox answered Taran. That night in the pool, Taran gazed into our eyes for long before h
Willa's POV [How did Cerberus get his mind back?] Nox smirked at me, her hands trailing up and down on Kirsch. His breath messed up as he indulged her move, but he didn't touch us. [The mark...?] I blinked in confusion. [The mark.] Nox nodded with a cloying smile, [Our mark is blessed with true love, and only with the marks can our soul be woken. He took one, and he gave one. He's complete now.] [Oh my goddess, you woke up when Taran marked me! That's why you wanted him to mark me!] I covered my mouth as fear brimmed my eyes with tears. I had no idea! No one did. [Taran saw through my plan though. He figured it out. He wouldn't have marked me if you didn't go in rage because of your pathetic human parents.] Nox sighed lightly, [Do you know why he kept it to himself? Because he doesn't love YOU.] [You are lying!] Anger burst in me as I jumped at her, trying to get control. Nox rose her huge claw and suddenly I couldn't move anymore. There was purple light coming out of her finger
Kirsch's POV "She left again..." Willa suddenly let out a long sigh before she fell on the sofa, drained. Her eyes were no longer flickering like crazy, guess that was when Nox was having a fight with her. "I'm really sorry it didn't work, but I didn't mean to reject you--" I said hesitantly, observing her look carefully. "Then why did you?" Willa pouted with tears shivering in her beautiful purple eyes. I couldn't stand seeing her like that. "I didn't, for real. Rudy, can you talk to me?" I sat down on the sofa but Willa jumped up the moment I sat into Taran's arms. A sharp sting spread in my chest and I had to lower my eyes to hide the pain in my eyes from them. [I don't know what happened, I accepted it.] Rudy whimpered in my mind, [Maybe...] [Maybe what?] I frowned and stood up awkwardly, dodging their eyes. Willa was crying in Taran's arms, and Taran just frowned without looking at me. "I want to go," Willa grumbled with her face buried in his chest. Taran glanced at me wit
hi everyone Sorry I can't update today. Have been busy these days job changing and stuff, I will try as much as I can to update, but it might not be too stable for the next week. I'll be back before you know~! Rai Preview for the next chapter-- Taran's POV I never imagined that one day I can really get rid of the headache Cerberus gives me, but at the same time, I had never been so stressed by the curse. Because before, the worst that could happen would be my death, but now it's the lives of the two people that I love the most on the line, and I can't take their place either. And the worst part, is that one of them is the life-threatening danger to the other...
Taran's POV I never imagined that one day I can really get rid of the headache Cerberus gives me, but at the same time, I had never been so stressed by the curse. Because before, the worst that could happen would be my death, but now it's the lives of the two people that I love the most on the line, and I can't take their place either. And the worst part, is that one of them is a life-threatening danger to the other. I figured out what Nox wanted the moment Cerberus woke up. If a mate's mark can cure his mind, it definitely has an effect on Nox, too. But she had been quiet, so I didn't do anything about it. I was hoping we could pull her out of the eternal darkness that she had been living in like how Kirsch saved us. But I guess she was further gone than I was. She had no one throughout eternity, not even her own human part. And Scarlett keeping her in the deep sleep for 18 years in Willa definitely didn't help. I have only been in deep sleep occasionally, and it was already fa
Taran's POV "Powell, good to see you again," I reached out my hand to Powell when Willa and Kirsch both turned their heads away when they saw Powell greeting us at the gate of the Treaty. "The same!" Powell grabbed my hand gratefully, and instantly let go when Willa shot him a death stare, "I'm so glad to have you with us, Alpha Taran!" "He's not the Alpha," Willa suddenly interrupted in a cold tone, "Kirsch Murphy is our current Alpha, and we are hoping you can at least pay your due respect to little details like these." Kirsch stared at Willa in shock with his jaw on the ground before he turned to me with confusion in his eyes. Though both of them are my mates, I do taste jealousy every time Willa appears close to Kirsch, and that was when I noticed -- Willa HAD been closer to Kirsch, and it actually started since the day when she failed to mark him. I was worried that day would ruin the little closeness they had before. "I'm terribly sorry! Miss..." Powell hesitated, and oddl
Taran's POVI cut off the mindlink with Kirsch, and instantly--[We can wake Willa up,] Cerberus huffed in a hurtful tone. He noticed not a moment later than I did.He was in pain. It physically hurt us to know that our mates are suffering, and Cerberus knew the pain of being kept in deep sleep more than anyone --Well, anyone but Nox.[She can put Willa into deep sleep once, she can do it again,] I suppressed the bitter sting in my chest to comfort my wolf, [we have to solve this properly without hurt to either of them. They are one, Cerberus.][She needs the other mate mark,] Cerberus kept his calm, it was so much easier to talk to him right now, [but I doubt she would mark anyone if she couldn't even mark Kirsch.][She couldn't mark Kirsch because her human part was in deep sleep,] I watched Cerberus carefully -- I know the jealousy I have been feeling was half from him, [Nox loves Kirsch. She can't fight the mate pull.][So
Kirsch It was like my heart inflated before exploded when that word rolled off Willa's tongue, and my head was totally blank during that fierce kiss. I almost wish I could die at that moment so the kiss would never end. I felt bad stealing Willa from Taran, but I couldn't help accepting Willa's teasing when she showed interest in me. She was like a poison with the most delicious flavor, and knowing it would kill me I devoured her still every time I got the chance. But until now, it was only teasing-- She would jump on me and lick my collarbone, sending tingles that make me tremble, but never had her lips land on mine; she would press herself against me and giggle, but mostly it was only when she wanted stuff FROM me, unlike now when her eyes were sinking into mine with pure desire as if all she wanted was me. And that was the poison I could never escape. "Mate!" I responded when my lips finally found a gasp of freedom before I took her into my chest and kneaded as if we could beco
