Chapter 44

Xavier's POV

" What are you saying to me? Are you sure of what you just said?"

" I wouldn't have bothered to bring up the past if I was lying. It's true. I saw her with my own eyes. No matt

" I wouldn't have bothered to bring up the past if I was lying. It's true. I saw her with my own eyes. No matter how much time goes by, I will never forget that face. It's etched in my memories. Your memories as well."

I sighed and sat back on my chair. Never in a million years have I thought that such a thing could be possible. I don't believe in reincarnation or the afterlife. All that jazz is bullshit to me. What is true is what I can see. That is it? I still don't believe what he is saying. I won't. Not until I see her as well. Still, I know that he wouldn't lie to me about something like that. I am still surprised that something like this could have happened.

The only place where I thought I would see her again was hell. That is where she deserves to be after everything that she did. Back then, our lives turned upside down because of her. She was selfish and a witch who only ever thought about herself. I lost my brother because of her. I lost everything, and I am reduced to this state because of her. I swore to never forgive her. And if I ever got a chance, I would kill her. She took that pleasure away from me then when she took her own life. If what he says is true, this will be my God-given opportunity to avenge everything and give peace to my soul.

" Hey! Where are you lost?" I broke out of my daze as he snapped his fingers in front of my face. As usual, I got consumed in thoughts of her. She had the most angelic face and brought every man to their knees in front of her. I am ashamed to say I was one of those enthralled by her innocence and beauty. Not only that, I thought she was my fated one, but that was not it. It was because of her that I ended up losing myself and going crazy. I shook my head, got up and went outside. He followed me. I needed to let my wolf out and go for a run. Now that I am thinking about that witch, I am suddenly in a bad mood.

" Are you not going to do anything about her?" He asked me, stopping me in my tracks. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose.

" I won't do anything about it for now," I paused, clenching my fists.

" Just keep a watch on her. You said that you didn't sense anything from her. She must be human now, and she might not remember who she was, or maybe she just looks like her and she is not her. I don't know, but I can't do anything. For now, I just want to go for a run. See you later."

With that, I took off and ran into the woods. I jumped and let my wolf Rex take over and then landed on all fours. I was in my wolf form and I felt free as I began racing through the trees like the wind. We ran full-speed, pumped up by the pent-up anger that had been stored inside of me for centuries. Nothing will ever make this anger subside until I can get my revenge.

As years passed since that tragic day, I thought that one day I would be able to overcome it, but I realized that day became my hell. Every night I am transported to the day. The blood, fire, screams of terror, and wails of my people keep me awake. I wouldn't want her to live again because I don't want history to repeat itself. Why would any God want to bring that witch back after everything? Of all the people who died, she is the last person who deserves to live. She even bewitched my brother. She was really a bad person who turned my soul dark. I hate her.

Julian's POV

I just lied to him. I didn't tell him the full story. I don't think he will handle it. I don't know if it's fate, but it seems it has betrayed him. Yes, she is alive and human now, but he is alive as well. He has been born again and fate brought those two back together again. I have been trying to understand what it all means. Is fate on their side and that is why it brought them together? It can't possibly be.

On the other hand, I am sure he would be happy to see his little brother again. He couldn't get over his death even though he chose that woman over everything and everyone. Even so, I am afraid that this will be the same. History will repeat itself, and we will all have to relive that tragedy. I felt a chill run down my spine.

No, no. That can't happen. I won't allow it to happen again. As Xavier said, I should keep a watch on her. For will I know, she could just be pretending not to remember anything, although I didn't sense anything from her. She was completely human, and when she looked at me, she seemed like she didn't know me. I would have seen it.

Xavier and I should have been long gone. We shouldn't have lived long enough to see Amaya and River again. We are only alive because of the curse Amaya put on us. I clenched my fists. She swore to be the one to kill us, but before that, we would live in eternal torment. If that is true, if it's even a little true, then I guess that girl is Amaya and she just doesn't know it. Even though I hate her and want to get my revenge on Amaya for what she has done, deep down in my heart, I hope that girl is not Amaya. For peace's sake, Amaya should just be rotting in hell.
