Chapter 304
"Silas?" Taya said weakly.
"It's me, love. Silas, Jackson...whoever you want me to be. My wolf...my wolf wants to be sure we find each other in the next
life."
Jackson's hand grabbed Taya's and squeezed.
She wasn't sure what he meant and was struggling to find the words to ask him, but he spoke before she could open her
mouth to try.
"I've brought an elder. He's right here. I want...mate me before you leave me, Taya. Please," Jackson begged and squeezed
her hand tighter.
The blood stilled in Taya's body, her heart stopped, and the breath in her lungs froze.
Part of her thrilled at the thought of a union with her true love, and the other part was so very angry that it took her dying to make it happen.
She wanted to punish him and tell him no, to make him pine for her the way she had pined for him for so many years.
But at this point, she had no reason to hold onto those old
resentments. The young girl from so long ago took hold of her
heart.
If she had to die so young, so unfulfilled in life, why not end this life on a happy note? Perhaps in the next life, the goddess. would be kinder to her, and this blip of content at the end would transfer into her reincarnated self.
"Yes," she whispered and squeezed his hand back. "Yes. Hurry, before I'm gone."
The sound of Harper's hushed weeping grew a bit louder when Taya spoke, and then she could feel Harper's hand grasping her other hand.
A rustling came from across the room, and then Taya could feel the presence of another person near her bed.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"I am Elder Stiln, Taya," came a gentle, older man's voice. "I know this won't be a standard mating, so I have modified a mating ceremony." Taya nodded, tightening her grip on both Jackson and Harper's hands.
This was how she'd always dreamed it would be. The three of them, together. Her sister and her mate by her side through
the end of life.
In a matter of minutes, the elder had performed the mating. ceremony and then quietly left the room to leave them alone.
Jackson caressed Taya's forehead and cheek, then softly kissed her lips, as if he was afraid he might hurt her.
What she was afraid of was how much he was going to hurt
when she was gone.
She couldn't bear the weight of it.
So even though Taya wanted to spend her last moments with him, she wanted him to remember his last moment with her as those of them being mated, not of her dying. "I don't want you to remember me dead," Taya whispered.
"I know," he whispered against her cheek.
A tear dropped onto her face, and then he was gone.
She lay there after Jackson had left, sobbing silently, Harper clutching her hand and caressing her forehead while she
wept.
Taya's chest ached, and breathing became harder. She couldn't force out any words.
Her time was almost here, and panic started to overtake her.
She wasn't ready.
Oh goddess, she wasn't ready to die.
"Wait! I'm here to save her!" a woman's voice screamed out as
someone ran into the room.
