Cursed By The Moonlight - Chapter 68

Zion was confused by what Diana had said.

“Harrowing heart means her heart is in distress and grieving. Since you are her mate, you could feel her feelings if it was too deep.” Diana explained.

“But what’s the reason?” Zion asked, baffled.

“Asked her so you could do something about it. Talk. I’ll be with my kids. Just call me when you have already fixed your issues.” Diana answered before leaving them.

Zion didn’t say a word. He felt his heart was being stabbed, and Amaris looked like she couldn’t breathe. He grabbed her hand and pulled her back inside the bedroom.

“Tell me, what’s wrong?” He asked, worried.

Amaris took a deep breath before answering.

“I don’t know. I just felt like you were drifting away from me then my heart started aching. I-I’m sorry, I couldn’t do something about my memory.” She whispered.

Zion realized that he wasn’t the only one suffering and hurting. She felt the same way. Even though Amaris forgot him repeatedly, their hearts were deeply connected.

He touched her cheek, held her on the chin, and tilted her head up to level his gaze.

“I love you, Ari. I admit every day was torture for me, but I will endure every pain for you. I’m sorry for making you worry. I will never drift away from you.” He said in a gentle voice.

Then Zion leaned forward to give her a kiss. It was quick, but she felt his love towards her, and her pain vanished. She wrapped her arms around him and leaned her head to his chest.

After a quiet moment, they went to Diana, who was waiting in Halia’s office.

“So, you’re okay now. I’m surprised you didn’t know what was happening to your mate, Alpha Zion.” Diana frowned.

“Yes. I never had a chance to mark her before, so maybe that was the reason I’m not aware of it.” Zion explained.

Diana pointed at the couch, asking Amaris to sit down. Then she took the Luna’s hand and checked on her pulse.

Amaris was confused as she stared at Diana. She was the female version of Damien, only a little older.

“I think you’re fine. We could start memory restoration now if you like.” Diana suggested.

Amaris was surprised and felt excited because she could finally restore her past. She looked at Zion and smiled at him.

Zion leaned forward and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, making her face red.

Diana chuckled. “Before we do it, I want you to know that memory restoration may or may not work depending on the level of power of the creature who erased your memory. In your case, it was a goddess. But don’t lose hope. You have to believe, Ari.”

Amaris nodded. Diana sat beside her and tilted Amaris’ neck to the side. Zion held one of Amaris’ hands when the vampire leaned forward.

Amaris took a deep breath when she felt Diana’s warm breath. As her eyes turned red, her fangs grew, and without a word, she bit Amaris on the neck.

Amaris suddenly felt like she was absorbed by something powerful. She screamed when she felt like a whirlpool was pulling her. Then she closed her eyes and flinched in pain when she felt like she was thrown into the ground.

She opened her eyes and frowned. She looked around, trying to remember where she was.

“Candra!”

Amaris was surprised to see Zion running towards her. He called her Candra, a name she had never heard before. Her eyes widened when Zion just literally passed through her.

Was she just an illusion? No. She was pulled in here when Diana bit her. This was her memory. She turned to see where Zion went and saw him sitting on the flower field beside a girl. She walked towards them and was surprised to see the girl’s face.

“Candra?” The girl asked.

“Yes. I’ll call you Candra from now on. It means glowing like the moon, and you are literally like that.” Zion answered.

The girl with golden-brown hair smiled at Zion.

“Will you promise to stay with me forever, Candra?” He asked.

“Yes. And even if I die, I promise to come back to you no matter what.” The girl said.

Amaris saw Zion’s face lit up, and she knew he was happy with the words the girl said. Then the girl suddenly turned to her.

“But you forget.” She whispered.

Amaris was surprised and couldn’t say a word.

“T-That’s why I’m here. I want my memories back. I don’t want to hurt him anymore.” Amaris answered back.

“Do you truly love him?” The girl named Candra asked.

Amaris nodded. The girl was her one hundred years ago before her mother cursed her. She did look like her lost anima, but something in her looked differently.

“Was it really necessary for mother to curse us?” She asked.

“Go to Mirrikh. You’ll find the answers to your questions.” Candra answered.

Then flashbacks of all of her memories with Zion slowly came back. Diana was exhausted when she pulled her fangs away from Amaris’ neck.

Diana felt like Amaris sucked in all her energies. The Luna was indeed a powerful hybrid. Diana thought to herself.

Zion frowned when he saw Amaris’ tears fall from her eyes. He suddenly got worried and sat down beside her when Diana stood up.

“Love?” He called.

Amaris didn’t say a word. She had mixed feelings about her memories. She remembered how their love story started one hundred years ago.

How could she forget him? She thought to herself.

“I think you should talk in private.” Diana suggested.

Zion understood, and without a word, he carried Amaris back into the bedroom. He gently put her down on the chair beside the huge window and crouched down in front of her.

“Hey, I wouldn’t know if you won’t tell me. What is it?” He asked again.

Amaris looked at him, and as her tears kept falling from her eyes, she reached out her hands, wrapping around them to Zion’s neck.

“I remember now. I remember you. I remember us.. I love you! I love you!” She said over and over.
