It's Mate

"What do you mean it's been erased?" Amaris asked.

Ophelia sighed and showed them the written words. The last part was obviously erased. Amaris was so disappointed and pissed. She wanted to know the prophecy about her, but it seems someone or something was trying to hide it from her.

"Could you help me regain my memories? Or do you know someone who could?" She asked Ophelia.

"You can meet with Athanasia. Maybe she knows someone." Ophelia answered.

Zion glanced at Zoila who looked so surprised by what Ophelia said. Amaris didn't know who that was and looked at Zion.

"She's the demon princess who fell in love with a Terran." Zion said.

Maxine's eyes widened and her face lit up from what she had heard so far. She just realized everything Ophelia told them.

"You are the werewolf favored by the Gods. The one who was granted immortality." Maxine exclaimed, staring at Zion.

Amaris frowned and turned to Zion who was hugging her from behind while she was on his lap. Zion sighed deeply.

"Yes. I am that werewolf. Though I am not sure why I was favored by them. When I was born, my mother told me that the Sky God Hyperion and the Demon God Orcus, came and granted me immortality and the power to bring peace between all creatures. That's all I know." Zion confirmed.

Amaris stared at Zion, confused with his sudden revelation.

"But you were cursed by the moon goddess after, right? Why didn't you ask the Sky God to remove the curse?" Amaris asked.

"When you were taken, I don't know if I could trust them anymore. I trusted our love to each other so even though I do not have my powers, I know I could find you." Zion answered.

Amaris sighed again, thinking that she will forget him tomorrow.

"Let's visit the Demon Princess tomorrow. For now, let's rest." Zion said.

"B-But I will forget about you tomorrow." Amaris pouted.

"We'll do what I told you earlier." He insisted.

He knew there are a lot of things that they couldn't understand, and secrets that were kept from them, especially with Amaris. If they already knew that he found her, they would come for her. It's just a matter of where and when.

After Ophelia left, they went to their respective rooms. Cole brought Maxine to her bedroom while Zion took Amaris. Zion noticed that she was quiet the whole time and it was making him uncomfortable.

When they went inside her bedroom, Amaris sighed again. She has been sighing a lot and it was adding more annoyance to Zion.

"Can you please stop that?" Zion exclaimed.

Amaris looked at him, pouting.

"What do you want me to do? I think my reaction to everything was just normal. I was a normal girl a few days ago. I don't need to worry about anything. Now, you were all telling me that I am some kind of unknown species. That I am a child of a God and a Demon, and that I might bring destruction to every world, do you really think that my brain could process all of it?" She answered in annoyance.

Zion took a deep breath and pulled her into his arms. He hugged her tight and Amaris could hear his heart beating.

"I know it's hard to accept it. But I am happy that I found you. Ari, I love you. I've been loving you for a hundred years. Whatever happens, I will stay with you." He said.

Amaris felt in her heart that she loved him but she couldn't tell him because she knew tomorrow it would be different.

"Z-Zion, I-I"

"Shh. Don't rush. Even if you don't tell me now, I know what you feel. Seeing you and holding you like this, my heart feels so light." Zion said, tightening his arms around her waist.

She didn't say a word. Her heart was screaming, it wanted to respond to every word he said. But she was afraid that she would hurt him once she forgot him.

They stayed like that for some time. She was standing by the window while Zion was hugging her from behind. She could feel his warm breath brushing through her skin.

She waited for him to touch her. She wanted him. But to her dismay he suddenly let her go. She turned around to look at him.

"It's already late. Take a rest. Tomorrow is Saturday, no class. We can go and talk to the princess in the morning." He said in a casual tone.

He kissed her on the cheek then walked out of her bedroom. She felt that he was avoiding her. She couldn't understand the reason so she was hurt.

Zion took a deep breath when he got out of Amaris' bedroom. He wanted to touch her. He wanted her to sleep with him, especially now that Ophelia confirmed that she was really his long lost lover.

'It's mate. We should mark her now.' It was his wolf.

His wolf wasn't convinced before that she was their mate. He couldn't blame him. His wolf's senses vanished because of the curse, so it was always afraid that he would mark a fake one. If Zion marked someone by mistake, his true mate would be in constant pain.

'I don't think she's ready. If I mark her tonight, in the morning she will forget us. I don't think I could take that pain. I might hurt someone.' Zion explained.

He went back to his bedroom and took a shower. He was starting to feel the heat on his body when he hugged her but he stopped himself from touching her.

"You're an Alpha. Why are you so weak when it's about her?" He thought to himself.

He adjusted the water heater to make it colder and sighed. His dick was already hard just thinking about her. 

"Fuck! Am I going to do it by myself? This is crazy!" He exclaimed.

He was about to hold on to his dick when the bathroom door suddenly opened. His eyes widened when he saw Amaris walking towards him while taking off her clothes slowly.
