"The moon goddess is with you Rowan. You will survive this. I'm so sorry but I don't want to leave you alone. Even though you didn't hear me now, you will still remember these words. Daddy is already gone and he's not coming back but you should be alive for our next generation."

"Be strong and be careful with everything. The girl you will love would never be your mate Rowan. And that girl will definitely be yours."


Rowan's mind filled with his mother's words. As she mentioned, he didn't hear her words when she said those things to him but when he turned eighteen years old, his mind filled with his mother's words. His mother was correct in all ways. Just like she said, he fell in love with a girl who was not even his mate and then he even marked her now. She was the girl that the goddess Eliksha had chosen for him. So that means all lives will depend on Arabella.

Clenching his fists, he watched the man for a while and sighed. He didn't want to talk about anything anymore. Everything is happening the way it should have happened long ago. Even though it was late, it's happening now. So he was just simply happy about it. After curing Arabella completely, he would just let her live her life here peacefully while he's going to leave here.

"In three months, I'm going back, Edwin. After I left, you need to be here and watch her secretly. Don't let Lucien come to her and don't let him lay a finger on her." His voice was calm and emotionless. As he remembered Lucien, he couldn't help but clench his jaws because he saw the way Lucien looked at Arabella even he was putting the ring on that fucking Milena.


Rowan felt that Lucien's behavior toward Arabella slowly changed but now, even if Lucien wanted Arabella again, there's no way for him to give Arabella to Lucien. She was already his mate. They created a strong bond tonight so no one can escape from that bond. But he was scared, he was scared to leave Arabella alone here. If he left her without a word, she would be so fucking heart broken and especially she will think that he also did the same thing to her as Lucien.

After marking her, he felt that she loved him. The way her heart beat so fast was something that made him so fucking excited. His heart was still beating so fast with the thought of her loving him. With a smile on his face, he looked at Edwin and rubbed his forehead.


"Look at your hands… already…" Rowan stopped what he was doing and looked at his hands. There are the same blue patterns in his hands which he always saw from Arabella. Watching it for a while, he clenched his jaws and shook his head. He will not mind this and he doesn't care as long as Arabella is fine.

"It's okay Edwin. Don't mind this. Everything will be alright" Rowan smiled at him and patted his shoulder before walking into the house. Even though he acted cool and calm, his mind was a mess. He was somewhat scared with the thought of something happening to him but he was scared because he had no desire to leave Arabella.

Walking upstairs, he entered the room. As he entered, he saw Arabella was sitting on the bed while covering herself with the quilt. She was looking outside of the window. Feeling he was coming towards her, she turned and looked at him. Rowan smiled. She watched him for a while and lowered her head as a blush appeared on her cheeks. His heart softened seeing her. She was so lovely.

"How are you feeling?" sitting on the bed, he raised his arm and caressed her face. Then she looked at him and caught his arm with her hands and sighed. Rowan smiled seeing her, she was beautiful. Even though she looked so fucking tired and exhausted, she's fucking gorgeous.

"Tired.." she muttered looking at him. Rowan chuckled hearing her, then he moved closer to her and kissed her forehead. As he did that, she sighed and moved her hands from his arm and placed them on his chest. Rowan looked at her eyes and waited for a while. He was happy, finally she's his. Lowering his head, he pressed his lips against her lips.

Arabella's hands unknowingly moved upwards and wrapped around his neck as she kissed him back. Kissing her, he rolled over and made her lay on his body. Hugging Arabella who was on his body, he caressed her naked back with one of his hands while his other hand was gripping her butt. Her body was soft and delicate. He loved the feeling he was having right now.

Her long hair was covering both of their faces. Pushing his tongue inside of her mouth, he deepened the kiss. Kissing her passionately, he slowly pulled the thin barrier between their bodies away. As he pulled the quilt away, Arabella giggled and pulled it back wanting to cover her body. But there was no way for her to stop him.

Breaking the kiss, Rowan bit her nose gently before pulling away the quilt making her soft and perky breasts press against his strong chest. Arabella looked at him and bit her lower lip before moving her face towards his neck. He was confused because of what she did but soon he felt a sharp pain against his marking spot with an unbearable pleasure.

His heartbeat went wild as she marked him. He hugged her against his body so tightly. Kissing her neck, he let her mark him deeply. He had heard that the feeling when someone get when they were marked by their mates was something beyond the imagination. So now he was feeling that. After some time, she pulled her sharp teeth out of his neck and looked at him.

Her lips were covered with his blood. She looked so fucking sexy and she just simply looked like a gorgeous vampire. Without wiping the blood from her lips, he kissed her forehead. Having his blood in her means that she will be cured as soon as possible. And that's the only thing he wanted. Arabella was looking at him, and he felt that she had no desire to lick her lips. Raising his arm, he wiped the blood off her lips before putting his finger into her mouth.

"My blood is your cure, so don't be stubborn." he said. Then she let out a sorrowful sigh and licked his finger. After she was done, he pulled his finger out of her mouth and pecked on her lips. Arabella hugged him and rested her head on his chest. Soon he felt his chest was getting wet, his heart clenched and he knew that she was crying. He stroked her hair lovingly.

"It's okay Bella. Just don't mind it. For a week, I'll give my blood to you daily" he sighed and muttered. Soon he felt her shaking her head. Then she raised her head and looked at him with tear filled eyes.

"This will make you weak and hurt… please. This is enough! I can feel that the parasite is too weak now"

She muttered looking at him. But he didn't want to stop it in the middle. The parasite is weak means that the parasite will move to his body soon. Within a week, she will be cured. He clenched his jaws and shook his head and then kissed her forehead. She was so young and gorgeous to die untimely so he will never let it happen.

"The parasite is weak means that within a week the parasite will die so you need to continue this. Not too much Bella, just a few drops of my blood will do" he smiled at her.

"You… sure? Are you sure about it? Will the parasite die or move to your body?" her eyes were serious as she asked that. Rowan's heart clenched, then he waited for a while looking at her but soon he nodded at her with a smile on his face.

He was lying to her and there was no going back with it. He will never let her know that the parasite will move to his body. If he told her the truth, it will be so fucking hard to make her drink his blood.

"It will die. I'm sure.."
