Chapter 308


    Chapter 308 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.


    “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 herst moments with him, she wanted him


    to remember hisst 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.


    Shey 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.
