"THE TRUTH?" she demanded.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoRCyaCV91 維尼

"Ever heard of the Soulmate Curse?" If it was true that she spent years researching Brown Wolves, she would have heard of the curse.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh0ZDBGDnp 維尼

"Oh, I know, alright," she smirked. "The mighty legend of the War of Hearts..." I couldn't help but smile in response. "It's really just some stupid fairytale."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFrCTIRJJw 維尼

She really had no idea what she was getting herself into.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k83epUdp3 維尼

"You're in a war, now."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC6GkAoef2 維尼

"A war?" I had asked.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85FJwPzHw4 維尼

"The War of Hearts."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuMVJIu8At 維尼

Mary may not have believed it to be true... But it was only a matter of time. It wouldn't be long before she realised the truth.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Xjitrbuy 維尼

"You're only one of his soulmates, Maryanne." Instead of sugar-coating the truth, I simply told her of it.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DHte4Oujs 維尼

"I don't believe you... West would never betray me."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡYberYAABAt 維尼

"Not on purpose," I answered. "All Grayson Wolves are affected by the Soulmate Curse and for Gray Wolves, Soulmates are forever... Very soon, he will feel the same way about her, as he does for you."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaNTT5NZsY 維尼

"What?" Her mouth eyes darkened, as she took a step closer, her body practically touching mine. "What the hell do you mean?"8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUSVX0fZtK 維尼

"He may even forget you..."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDcwAMHbLk 維尼

And for the first time, I saw Maryanne Grant get angry.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3jEpcxS27 維尼

She lunged forward, pinning me against the wall by my throat. The bloodlust on her face, made me freeze in place. I watched, astonished, as her fingers morphed into claws and she lifted them to my temple, before slashing the end across my cheek.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZOwMuHl1P 維尼

"Weslyn, are you hurt?" Liam could probably feel how she felt because of their bond.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAjN3Q1qUh 維尼

I wanted to call out; to reassure him that I was alright... I couldn't, though .8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuf5QtLsbK 維尼

The claws were much more painful than I thought it could be. The whole entire left side of my face seemed to sting from the venom in her claws.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWkKdWLHdA 維尼

But there was something else.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5QoZit6XG 維尼

Feeling her venom seeping into my veins was like deja vu... Possibly the most painful feeling of all.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUoDfgRj1j 維尼

I had felt it before.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MeBkRF78e 維尼

And maybe that was it, but the agony had shocked me so much; I could no longer move... By Luna, I could barely breathe.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Uf0WO17L 維尼

"Mary!" a voice growled, shoving her away from me, so that she slammed into the opposite wall. "For the love of Luna! What the hell do you think you doing?"8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAHeNhHBWl 維尼

My brother stood before me, his face filled with concern. He slowly lifted his hand and traced the slash on my cheek. I winced slightly, but lifted my own fingers to check my wound. Only to find that I had already began to heal.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cumYtPRxj 維尼

"Thank Luna," he murmured softly, pulling me into a tight hug. I grimaced in pain. My back was probably badly bruised from hitting the wall so hard. "I have no idea what I would've done if you didn't heal so quickly. But-" He hesitated.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtxjq5bz57 維尼

"But?" What was so bad; that he couldn't say it? I wasn't that hurt, was I?8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y8oJZqTpM 維尼

"You'll probably have scars," he mumbled. "Werewolf slashes and bites don't heal like normal injuries, so..."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡA427VWL8R3 維尼

"That doesn't matter."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoZ4ESsViD 維尼

From the scar that ran along my back and the many others on my body, I had become accustomed to having scars.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHxXkOxdek 維尼

They had become part of me. Without them, I wouldn't truly be me.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7OTUZLUGp 維尼

"West," Mary breathed. She slowly stood up from the other side of the room and swept away the blood on her temple as if it was nothing. "You h-hurt me."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2GPWXLujQ 維尼

The stutter in her voice was only slight but it was enough for me to realise the most important thing of all.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOKUzD0GHA 維尼

She feared West.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe7mTkUxyv 維尼

I wasn't sure why or how, but he was the only way that she could be controlled.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKCvfickFM 維尼

"You hurt my little sister," he gritted out. "We may be mates but that doesn't give you the right to hurt her."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡd87YXTK8Yg 維尼

"But you're supposed to choose me!" she shrieked, staring up at him in shock. "Not her... Me."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKAg2eqPPD 維尼

"Do you truly think that I like seeing you in pain?" he ran his fingers along the healing cut on her forehead. "I hate it... I hate myself for it."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVaToA8fd1 維尼

"I don't understand."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlDe3BtuuS 維尼

"I'm sorry, Mary," he told her. "If you truly do not understand, I don't know if it's possible for me to explain to you. I've missed you and I still..." he took a sharp intake of breath. "I still care for you... But don't hurt her. I won't let you get away with it."8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN1BJzG2VF 維尼

Without another word, she stormed out of the room and slammed the door. I sank to my knees, my head still pounding from her attack.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIIHbEavIQ 維尼

"Weslyn?" West called.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeU625oBFQ 維尼

But his voice sounded as though it came from far away; too far away. Before I knew it, my head spun and the world around me started to blur.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h2nDAGnHj 維尼

"Lyn!"8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0CKIFkbsE 維尼

The moment I realised who it was, I faded into darkness.8964 copyright protection579ＰＥＮＡＮＡofnby8jBbi 維尼
