"ANNA."8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb4Q9SXzGJ 維尼
"I know," she smiled sadly at West. "I know that you're all over the place, right now."8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmy93Ojeat 維尼
"How did you-" West started.8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPHM3ZVzhT 維尼
"We're soulmates, aren't we?" she interrupted. "Of course I know what you feel... So, don't choose, now."8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS3WCnvF2c 維尼
And at that moment, seeing the way that West looked at her, I knew that he wasn't just giving her false hope. He felt the bond and so he felt something for her.8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqF955kbna 維尼
"Take your time, West. Think about it. We both have a lifetime ahead of us; there's no hurry in making choices."8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtp9mCgki8 維尼
That was when it hit me. I realised why Anna wasn't so persistent in showing her love for him.8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDa7kMiRWt 維尼
The Brown Wolf illness. If she had the span of a normal Brown Wolf, Anna would only have another 25 years at the most. Was she trying to save West from the pain of losing her?8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡBejAtFEdEX 維尼
"It's noon, already, I have to go make lunch." She glanced at me. "I'll get going, Weslyn." As she left the room, West took a sharp intake of breath.8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK6RXTxKex 維尼
"Lyn I don't know what to do," he murmured, after about a minute. "What do I do?"8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡk58pt8UjLW 維尼
"Who do you love more?" I asked. It was the most important thing of all. The Soulmate Curse ultimately ended when one love overpowered the other.8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡddoGmuqCPS 維尼
"I don't know," he admitted. "I really don't know. Until recently, I never felt anything for Anna. All this time, I was convinced that I love Mary but she's no longer the same, Lyn. She has changed."8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc22gN0Tib 維尼
"What was she like before?" I asked.8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBGIk7yH1V 維尼
"Thr last time I remember her, as she was, was when I was 15..." West trailed off. "She let me cry on her shoulder and listened to everything I was struggling with. She was so mature and kind. And whenever she spoke, it was as if everything would be alright." He paused. "When I saw her two days ago, it was as if the missing piece of me returned," he told me. "But something was wrong. It was as if the piece broke and left a gap."8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk1UEe838z 維尼
"West," I whispered.8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡleZXWUKnzW 維尼
"I shoved her away when I found her hurting you. Usually a Gray Wolf will experience the same pain that their mate is facing, but when I hurt her, I felt nothing," he continued. "The only pain I had was from the gap inside me."8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡryvL6U5Vty 維尼
The gap. It was something that I understood too well. I had felt it for the eight years that I had lived without remembering Liam.8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡk05DRifo1O 維尼
"When Anna told me how she felt, the gap closed up in an instant... I guess she's the one I would choose if it was emotions alone," he sighed. "But life isn't just emotions, is it? It isn't Mary's fault that she changed. She just did. So if I choose Anna, what will happen to Mary?"8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8TqC2ebyU 維尼
"When you love someone, West, you can't stop loving them, just because they've changed. The fact that you no longer love Mary isn't only because she's changed. It's because you love Anna more; you love her, just as she is."8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s19hiEsyy 維尼
"I know," he answered. "But I still need time. I can't jump straight into it."8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx4gYq11vw 維尼
"I get it," I stared at the ground. "Well come on, then. It's time for lunch."8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt3sAAZAIl 維尼
As he followed me out of my room and into the kitchen, I couldn't help but flinch at his pained expression. Despite how he was before, West had a pure heart. And his heart was being torn by the War of Hearts.8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pR71fu3P4 維尼
Only one question lingered in my mind...8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjqFAyfJIp 維尼
How did someone so pure attack his own blood?8964 copyright protection429ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9i1i6Qc6v 維尼
