Chapter 157: Chapter 157: The End and the Vengeance
Selene’s POV~
The truth pressed down heavy in my chest. Because only | knew, more than the hate | showed him, more than
the anger | carried, there was fear. | had buried my fear and love behind hatred. Because deep down, | knew. We
were never meant to be.
Happiness was not written for me. Whoever | loved, whoever | got close to, was taken away. My mother had left

with tears, was peaceful. Like he was afraid of letting go.
A thought echoed in my mind. We can never be together in this life.
Because | could not forgive myself.

what | had done to him. | was the reason for their fall, the reason they lost their family, their world.

This was the truth | had never spoken aloud. The guilt | carried every day.
| had been their downfall. And they had been my punishment.
We were equal now.
Yes, their cruelty had broken me. Yes, their hatred had cutopen. It had killed something insideto see the

their revenge.
But | was not weak... | let them take out their anger on me, but that was enough... after that I had already
decided to leave this place forever.
I had given them their revenge. And now, | only wanted distance. | only wanted silence. | only wanted never to
repeat that history again.
Even if love still existed somewhere between us, there could never be a future.
| looked at him, at his face stained with tears, and | sighed heavily. The sound felt like it cfrom the deepest

Because there was another thing that was keepingaway from them. Their love... it was not because they
truly loved me. It was because fate had tied us together. Because of that word—mate.
And that was what hurt the most.
| remembered the way their eyes had looked when they captured me, when they chained me, when they broke
eyes... the coldness, the cruelty. The way it froze my heart to the core.
That was the truth of their feelings. That was what they carried for me.
And now, when | had already decided to forgive them, when | had already chosen to bury everything and leave it
all behind, they suddenly wantedagain. They wanted to forget everything, to act like it had never happened,
only because | was their mate.
No. I could never accept it.
| did not want to be loved because of a bond written by fate. | did not want to be forgiven because of pity.
| never asked them to loveout of duty. | never asked them to erase the sins | had committed. Because |
knew. | knew better than anyone else what | had done.
1 did not deserve it.
After all... how could a man love the woman who had murdered his mother?
Yes, right! | was the murderer of their mother. | had killed her with my own hands.
The thought cut throughlike a knife.
My chest ached, my breath caught. Their mother’s face cback to me, the memory of what had happened
that night, and the screams that still echoed in my mind. The guilt crushedagain, heavy as it had always
been.
How could they calltheir mate and act as if nothing had happened? How could they let that one word erase
the blood | had spilled?
| lowered my eyes to his hand still clinging to mine. My vision blurred, and | felt tears sting at the corner of my
eyes.
So even as Lucian cried in his sleep, whispering words that sounded like devotion, all I could feel was pain. Pain
that no matter what he said, no matter what they claimed, none of it could erase what | had done. None of it
could erase the truth.
We could never be.
Not in this life.

| turned my back on him without any hesitation. Chanting the swords that love doesn’t matter, it becomes

All that lived innow was one thing, and that was revenge.

me.
If | asked one question—just who was the one who is truly happy in the world—there would be no one.
So | had already made up my mind.
Love? Mates? Forgiveness? Those words were ashes to me.
| walked out without looking back. Without a shred of lingering feeling.
This was the end.
And the beginning of my vengeance.
