Chapter 83. Just a Normal Afternoon

Hope's POV

I left the helipad, and a lot happened in these few hours, but overall it was a good day, it's being a good day. I have a better view now. I can understand myself better, I see how different I am and how confused my thoughts were before.

It's nice, in parts, to be normal. I can feel things at the same moment they happen, I don't have to wait hours, days or weeks to understand. I smiled in a corner.

It has its downsides because it's intense, it was intense, accepting Dylan, Prince teaching me about patience and finally Kendrick declaring himself. I love Kendrick. He's the first person I ever loved, and I still love him. Denying his request was hard, but I also know what it means to accept it.

I'm marked, I have a curse, and even though it's under control now, I know it will soon start to leak out, the stronger I get, the more the curse will fight to break free. It's a double-edged sword. Marcus knows about the curse, Dylan and Sin have an idea of it
