Chapter 51 - The Twisted Tale (1/2)

”I am your wife and mate? We were about to make our vows to each other? And the werewolf clan attacked us? Why do I find every word you say not resonating with me?” With furrowed brows, she looked at him in confusion and suspicion.

Luke sadly smiled, his expression one of pain and heartache.

”It is okay for you to be suspicious of me. After all, you do not remember anything, and just believing in whatever I say would be quite foolish. You can take all the time you need to think things through. However, I want you to know that I will always be waiting for the day you will accept our bond and me.” His gentle gaze met her dark purple eyes, his tone soft as he made the vow.

”Sweet. Very sweet. But there is no need for you to wait for me. As you said, we might have had a bond and might have been mates, but since I do not remember anything, there is no need to force things. Whatever we had, let's end it here.” With a decisive declaration, she turned to leave the mansion.

But how could Luke let her go so easily, especially after stealing her right under the werewolf's nose?

He moved, blocking her path.

Her eyes flashed with a cold, sharp light as she ruthlessly swung her arm towards his face. Luke effortlessly caught her clenched fist, meeting her rage-filled gaze with his own pained ones.

Slowly, he went on his knees and looked up at her with a shattered gaze.

”When we first met, you said that no one had ever held out a hand to you. You asked me if I was not afraid of you sticking to me after helping you out. You know what I said then?” He asked, tears shining brightly in his dark eyes.

”I said that you were free to cling on to me as long as you had the magic to do so. Because at that time, you were human and human lives are limited. But you know what happened? In the end, you not only succeeded in clinging on to me, but you also succeeded in shedding your human skin and becoming an immortal serpentine of the Snake clan.” As he spanned his tale, Luke's eyes overflowed with tears, streaming down his pale face.

He did not know how the girl became a serpentine. But he fully believed that she became a serpentine for him.

And even if she did not, he would make it so that she believed she became a serpentine for him!

Because in the same way, it was the first time in her life someone held a hand out to her, it was also the first time in his life he held his hand out to someone else.

It could not be just a mere coincidence that the two estranged souls met 500 years ago and again, 500 years later.

He believed they were destined to meet, only fate was not allowing them to be together. And since fate was against their union, he decided that he would crave out their own fate.

He would make sure that no werewolf or any other being for that matter, ever came in between them!

She was his Sailles and he would make it certain that it stayed that way.

”Okay. You are saying that I was so smitten with you that I challenged fate? If what you say is true, that I loved you enough to change my fate, then why do I not feel anything on seeing you? Why do I not feel anything for you at all?” Her face cold, she indifferently looked at the kneeling man.

No matter what he said or what he did, she really could not feel anything.

Almost as if the man before her was not related to her in any way, and was just a passing stranger.
