"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 protection288PENANAyLJEt8yG8Y
"I am certain," I stated, looking into her eyes. "I have never been more certain about anything in my life."copyright protection288PENANAWLcqDtqkmY
"West," Luna called out. "Come forth."copyright protection288PENANAI9TDLH8yFM
He stepped forward, his entire body trembling. His face was drenched in his own blood, as Luna gently extended her palm towards him.copyright protection288PENANAsAykRqe8uz
"What is happening?"copyright protection288PENANA8yuxv4Bg22
"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 protection288PENANAwVIBPh6sSW
"Weslyn wants me to... Forget?" he asked, blankly staring at her. "How am I supposed to do that?"copyright protection288PENANARN1zqeNJkY
"I know, West. I know... It's hard," she whispered. "And I don't expect you to do it yourself."copyright protection288PENANAQjlHq0rifD
"What are you going to do?" he asked, almost sounding like a young child.copyright protection288PENANAFuohoAfNK3
"I'm going to make you forget."copyright protection288PENANAbpwwZBQBRb
He bowed his head in submission, gazing at the cold ground. Her outstretched arms wrapped around him, holding him in a tight embrace.copyright protection288PENANAE9epvq3oDm
"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 protection288PENANAGzKArMTAYJ
He didn't speak. There was no need to. Instead, he shut his eyes lightly, slowly letting a tear trickle down his face.copyright protection288PENANAhA4Gfn8w00
"Vinculum autem contrita."copyright protection288PENANAOX1WlMnhnZ
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 protection288PENANAje2SxgAM5q
A gasp fell from Liam's lips, as he clutched his chest, staring at me with disbelief.copyright protection288PENANAbj23mzHYGC
"I can no longer feel the bond," he murmured.copyright protection288PENANAj0Dl58O7I4
"What bond?" I demanded, astonished. By Luna, was he talking about the mate bond?copyright protection288PENANARkvtGaiCyV
"The bond between West and I, that was formed by the Promise Code."copyright protection288PENANAZkwJDIWiVb
"Mala praeterita evanescere," Luna chanted.copyright protection288PENANAz6jCqkOGPc
"Tainted past shall disappear," Liam translated.copyright protection288PENANAtlUvGv1VLq
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 protection288PENANAJIMp0zfvb0
"Grayson lupus sanguine surget, denuo."copyright protection288PENANAkxW9ahcBP4
"The blood of the Grayson Wolves will rise again."copyright protection288PENANALJZBbKDWL5
This time, it was Luna who explained the phrase to me.copyright protection288PENANAt8QJfqdW3w
And that was when a loud laugh echoed throughout the room, escaping West.copyright protection288PENANA9npZu4m2be
"Weslyn?" he called, smiling brightly. I frowned at his sudden shift of emotions. "My little sister!"copyright protection288PENANAeVpy7cV3zx
He broke away from Luna and ran towards me, his body crashing into mine.copyright protection288PENANAXtqqUC1OpG
"I've missed you all these years," he said, blinking. "I was such a heartless person, hurting you like that."copyright protection288PENANAYU9Uno7su1
"West?" I asked, astonished.copyright protection288PENANArlVJfE4zj0
"I'm here," he whispered. "The real me is finally here..."copyright protection288PENANAFfBgURjEHI
He was here; West Grayson. My real brother.copyright protection288PENANANmk941VwKr
The family I'd always wanted.copyright protection288PENANAMmO1wxe3kX
For once in my life, I sensed warmth. The warmth of family. I felt that I finally fit in.copyright protection288PENANARxxnmksO5M
