Chapter 86
Danus pov
I got out of the shower, a towel wrapped low around my hips, and dried my hair with a smaller towel. My thoughts were scattered, driting in random directions as I walked back to the room.
“Today we’re going back to our pack with our matel if I must say, this journey wasn’t had after all, since we found our mate. Don’t you think?” Stai purred in my mind.
1stopped walking, running the towel through my hair, and spoke as though I hadn’t heard him,
“I have to figure out how she, as a white woll, is able to cause my death. From what the moon goddess said, the only thing that could break her curse was to find a purebred white wolf. Now that I’ve found her, I still have no idea how she’s supposed to break the curse. The goddess didn’t say anything about that
So, I had to find out myself.
“I’ll have the shaman ask the goddess when we get back,” I muttered under my breath. Almost immediately, I heard Silas’s voice in my head.
“Darius: do we have to die now?” he asked.
My hand paused mid–motion, and I stopped drying my hair as I processed what he’d just said. My eyes narrowed.
The air around me grow cold as my voice dropped.
“What did you just say?”
Like I said, I didn’t care if Silas had found a new toy to keep him entertained. I could manage his attempts to take control. But not this
Not the hesitation in his voice.
Not those words
Silas sighed, he knew he’d angered me but he continued anyway.
“I know this is a curse, one placed on us for our mistake, And I’ve wished for death all this time. But we’ve suffered enough, haven’t we? This time…. this time, before we die, can’t we just be happy with our mate? Don’t you think we deserve a second chance?
Itilted my head slowly to the
the side, then let the comer of my lipcurl into an amused smirk as I walked to the couch and sat down. Silas kept talking, like he was trying to justify himself.
“And I’m not saying we shouldn’t break the curse, but what i want is that before we do, we should live-”
“A mistake?” I cut him noff with a low chuckle. “What I did wasn’t a mistake, Silas. Taking their lives was not a mistake. Because if I had the choice to do it all over again, I would. So no–it won’t a mistake”
Silence followed, before Silas spoke again.
“But Darius-
“However,” I continued, “that doesn’t make it right either. And I believe that for what I’ve done, I don’t deserve the happiness you spesiell don’t deserve a second chance. And I don’t believe that girl the goddess paired me with can give me the happiness you’re hoping for
it was impossible. I was a man far too gone for something like that. After her death, it hadn’t been possible for me to feel anything again. I should have been dead centuries ago, but in the end, I was forced to live a life without death, to pay for the crime had committed. And the only thing that’s been on my mind throughout the years, as I watched everyone knew die, was the desire to die along with them

Chapter 56
The goddess had given me this punishment to make me value life, but instead, I’ve only grown to despise it.
“understand your need to be with her. But don’t you think it’s better to make use of her… and then let her go? Have you forgotten what led to Liana’s death? It was because of us. Many people are after our lile, and if she stays with us, the past will only repeat itself,” I said calmly choosing not to act, choosing instead to speak gently, even though that wasn’t what hemed about.
You see. Silas was like a dog who’d gotten attached to its favorite bone. And when you’re about to take that bone away, you don’t use force, you stay
calm.
Silas didn’t respond right away, and I could tell he was thinking about what I’d just said. After a beat, he finally spoke, a hint of sadness in his voice.
“You’re right…he echoed, “I can’t be selfish and keep her life in danger.”
Though I didn’t show it, I sighed in rebel. Whether he agreed or not, I would’ve had to resort to threatening that girl to get him to back down. And honestly, I didn’t have time for that, not when I still needed to figure out how to use her.
“It’s good you understand,” I said, rising from the couch, ready to get dressed and prepare for the day.
But before I could take a single step, the door suddenly burst open and stilled as that girl, Nyssa, walked inside.
“Good morning, my king I apologize for intruding, but-
