The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397: The Old Gods

"For Lorelle ... it was our first meeting. But for me..." Leofric said quietly, turning his gaze away from Lorelle and the others. "It’s been countless times. I’ve lost track of how many."

The room fell into silence, even Lorelle said nothing.

Based on Leofric’s words, it seemed she had been reincarnated over and over again, and each time she did, they would always meet.

It actually explained why she could never forget the feeling in her heart, and why she felt that spark the very first time they met.

She might not remember her past lives, but her heart did. It remembered him. It loved him so deeply that the feeling stayed, carved into her soul through every lifetime.

"What did you do?" Lorelle finally asked in a trembling voice. "What did you do to end up cursed like this?"

Primrose, standing nearby, thought both of them were cursed. However, since Lorelle couldn’t remember anything each time she died, at least her pain could never compare to the agony Leofric had endured again and again.

He had loved her more times than he could count, only to watch her die, find her again, and lose her all over once more.

If that wasn’t torture, then Primrose didn’t know what could be called suffering.

She herself couldn’t even bear the pain in her heart when she saw Edmund weeping in front of her grave, and she knew her husband could never forget the pain and agony he felt when he watched his wife die.

Leofric didn’t answer right away. His hands clenched slightly at his sides, and for a brief moment, the faint shimmer in his eyes revealed a pain too old to be described.

"I broke a vow," he finally said. His voice was low, almost like a confession whispered to the wind. "A vow made to the gods."

Lorelle’s brows furrowed. "A vow?"

"I once asked something from the gods," Leofric admitted softly. "And in return, I swore never to fall in love, never to have a romantic bond with anyone. If I did ..." he paused, his jaw tightening. "... they would take the person I love away from me."

"Then how ... how could you have a relationship with me in the first place if you already made that vow?" Lorelle looked at him with mixed emotions. "You should’ve turned me down from the start."

[Before this damn curse loophole happened to me, he should’ve never accepted my love in the first place!] Lorelle screamed in her mind, frustrated. [Why did he have to accept my love? Why did he have to love me back? If he’d just walked away, I wouldn’t be trapped like this!]

Lorelle loved Leofric, but that didn’t mean she didn’t have questions about why he had allowed something this terrible to happen to her.

After all, the curse had stolen every ounce of joy from her lifetimes, leaving her stuck in a cycle she never chose. Therefore all her anger, her heartbreak, and her frustration was more than justified.
