"YOUR WISH IS WHAT I MUST GRANT..." She took more than a minute to reply to me. "If you're certain that it's what you really want; then..."copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO5X9ZkWEu
"I am certain," I stated, looking into her eyes. "I have never been more certain about anything in my life."copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNdWpdHDuK
"West," Luna called out. "Come forth."copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LFmSC20jy
He stepped forward, his entire body trembling. His face was drenched in his own blood, as Luna gently extended her palm towards him.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRmPPwO9ts
"What is happening?"copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmgSiF5ZjA
"West, my son... There are memories in your mind that torture you, all day and night. Your sister wishes for me to remove these memories."copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡKklqHe2Jfm
"Weslyn wants me to... Forget?" he asked, blankly staring at her. "How am I supposed to do that?"copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYdFN3cBcF
"I know, West. I know... It's hard," she whispered. "And I don't expect you to do it yourself."copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R1lJk1Okl
"What are you going to do?" he asked, almost sounding like a young child.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5FLvmZx6e
"I'm going to make you forget."copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpd740ahCn
He bowed his head in submission, gazing at the cold ground. Her outstretched arms wrapped around him, holding him in a tight embrace.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHeY2Yj3MD
"I need you to release your mind, West; remove that block you have on your own emotions. Do you think you could do that for me?"copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡocI4XdrWLy
He didn't speak. There was no need to. Instead, he shut his eyes lightly, slowly letting a tear trickle down his face.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFXnN2oYj1
"Vinculum autem contrita."copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfIBeKzxOm
That was when light filled the room, brightening up the darkness within. I watched wide-eyed as the blood on the ground vanished and the stained walls turned white.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡacyThv7IrT
A gasp fell from Liam's lips, as he clutched his chest, staring at me with disbelief.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCze0mgplz
"I can no longer feel the bond," he murmured.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHP8i4TRBH
"What bond?" I demanded, astonished. By Luna, was he talking about the mate bond?copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMULGchNUJ
"The bond between West and I, that was formed by the Promise Code."copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡGblfpmCFLX
"Mala praeterita evanescere," Luna chanted.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcE5lXaeOM
"Tainted past shall disappear," Liam translated.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2yROf352Y
The tears that fell down West's face stopped and he opened his eyes. At that precise moment in time, the expression on his face... I could not begin to describe it.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ9aYyxBej
"Grayson lupus sanguine surget, denuo."copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡytvdzQaJ5Z
"The blood of the Grayson Wolves will rise again."copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡv214UQjXWl
This time, it was Luna who explained the phrase to me.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK55V3DsFS
And that was when a loud laugh echoed throughout the room, escaping West.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡLelhrV7CEd
"Weslyn?" he called, smiling brightly. I frowned at his sudden shift of emotions. "My little sister!"copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡBafDeatx7p
He broke away from Luna and ran towards me, his body crashing into mine.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4aY962NyH
"I've missed you all these years," he said, blinking. "I was such a heartless person, hurting you like that."copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkW1BnWJZB
"West?" I asked, astonished.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBLde0nIyv
"I'm here," he whispered. "The real me is finally here..."copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rziqIptwY
He was here; West Grayson. My real brother.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡbci7dUuaEu
The family I'd always wanted.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB6xPkxc35
For once in my life, I sensed warmth. The warmth of family. I felt that I finally fit in.copyright protection57ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbxguYZTrv
