Novel & Cerita Neji Hyuga Curse Mark

she whispered, fear and fascination warring in her chest. “Yes,” he replied simply. “The curse is not mine alone. It feeds, it tests, it binds. You will feel it, and it will test you. Your light and my darkness will clash in ways you cannot yet imagine. That is why the mark exists — to anchor you, and to warn you. To tether you to me, so that neither of us succumbs entirely to it.”

"How can I help him? Maybe I could —” "Renee, you know Neil. If you'd never seen that mark, would you be having these thoughts?" "No, but that's kind of the point, isn't it? I---" "It's not a cursed mark," he said. " And it's not a portent of betrayal, either. Listen… I have a mark on my back as well. Do you think I'm certainly cursed?" My stomach plummeted. "It isn't the same mark, but it's related. Every bright claw has been marked."

“Where I control myself.” Her gaze lifted to mine. “This is where you came… that night?” “Yes.” She hesitated, then asked softly, “Why does it happen to you…What's the beast they talk about?” I exhaled slowly. “It’s a curse. When it happens, it demands blood. The only good thing is that it makes me stronger in battle. Deadlier. But it also takes from me…eats me slowly” She stepped closer to me. “Then why did it take over when we were kissing?”

I lifted my arm, my eyes trailing down to the spot where the sacred crest of the Moon should have been glowing with the fire of a new bond. It was gray. It wasn't just fading, it was rotting. The beautiful, intricate lines of the crescent and the wolf were crumbling into ash right before my eyes. Pieces of my skin, dry and dead, flaked off and drifted to the ground. It looked like a bruise that had gone stagnant. "The Moon didn't just reject her," a man shouted. I recognized him as one of the pack elders. "She’s been marked by something foul. Look at that color. That's the mark of a curse."

Neither of us let go of the other, and then a red light surrounded us until it suffocated us. I felt the exact moment when the mark of our bond was engraved on our skin, right where he bit me. I moaned and finally let go of him; he let go of me, and when we looked into each other's eyes, our eyes weren't golden, they were red, and that scared me. Then a white light burst from Izan's chest and bathed him completely, erasing the marks of the curse. I couldn't help but cry, and he was surprised.

These men feared me, respected me but fear did not erase curiosity. When the doors finally slid shut behind the last executive, i allowed myself to breathe, the glass walls reflecting only my own image back at me. Perfect suit. Controlled expression. A man untouchable by the world, but could be destroyed by a curse. The pain surged again, stronger this time. I staggered toward the window, my palm slamming against the glass as the city sprawled beneath me but none of it mattered. Because the curse had returned. “You’re late Nath,” Mara’s voice said from behind me.

Those years of waiting for his arrival never seem to end. It’s been five years now. The alpha is yet to be found, neither could Imogen find a way to lift the curse nor did she forget how Braylon was swallowed by a dark shadow right in front of her eyes. She is yet to discover what that shadow was. And she will stop at nothing to look for a way to lift the curse. ***

“But sooner or later, when they have the whole kingdom under their feet, they will realize what I have done for them and thank me for it.” Nerissa then faced her squarely. “Then why don't you tell them? Maybe they will understand you and—” “Understand what exactly?!” Anita thundered, cutting Nerissa off. Her eyes blazed. “Oh, you think they will understand that the mark which the son of the woman who cursed them bears is where her own strength evaporated from and entered into them?” I slapped my hand over my mouth. Really? That was why Phina’s neck often glowed, even from the first time that we saw her.

“Why does every instinct I have scream that she belongs to us?” “Because the curse is adapting,” Miasan said quietly. “Growing. It’s been trying to break you for years, and now it’s found a new method. A girl who should not exist, who triggers all your possessive instincts without being your actual mate. It’s the perfect trap.” “So what do we do?” Malachi asked. “Remove the marks? Send her away?” “That would be wise—” “But it won’t work,” I finished, understanding dawning. “Will it? The damage is already done. Marking her triggered something. Removing the marks now won’t reverse it.”

He leaned b⁠ac‍k slightly, f‌ingers t‍apping t⁠he arm of his thr‌one, the metallic‌ so‍u‍nd⁠ echoi‌ng through the vast chamber. ‍“The curse,” he murmured, “cannot be broken by‌ stre‌ng‍th‍ or power or will. It can only be broken by one thing…‌ the true mark.”‌ My heart lurc‍h⁠ed. Kingston inha‌led sharply. K‌ael’s hand‌ twitc‌hed a‌t her side, as if she wanted‌ to reach fo‍r a we‌ap⁠on bu‌t dared no‍t.
