Upon entering the villa, Taya saw that the living room had been completely smashed. The maids in the room trembled and stood aside, not daring to make a sound.
The person who did this was sitting on the sofa, playing with a fruit knife. Seeing the knife in his hand, Taya was a little scared, but she still summoned up her courage and walked toward him. “I… I’m back.” Amon slowly raised his head, his black eyes fixed on her. He stared at her without saying a word as if he was staring at prey that was about to die. Frightened by his stare, Taya clenched her fists so tightly that her palms were sweating.
After forcing herself to calm down, she looked up at Amon. “Let’s have a talk.” “Okay.” Amon patted the sofa beside him as he smiled faintly at her. His smile and the look in his eyes made Taya panic. Instead of sitting next to him, she sat down on the single sofa opposite him. “I can’t go back to Aronland with you.” Okay.” Amon nodded as if he had already guessed her decision and didn’t take it to heart. Taya knew that he would throw out the conditions as before, so she was not in a hurry to reply. After a standoff between them, Amon spoke nonchalantly, “We agreed before that if you went to Aronland, you don’t have to be Rosalie’s substitute. If you stay, you have to be her substitute. Have you made up your mind?” After a few seconds of silence, Taya plucked up the courage to ask, “What if I don’t agree?” In fact, she knew very well that for Amon, whether she was a substitute or not wasn’t important at all.
Because in his eyes, she was Rosalie. He could control her as he wanted. He had just proposed such a condition to threaten her and force her to go back to Aronland with him. But now, she had made up her mind to stay with Silas, so she couldn’t go back to Aronland with Amon. Not only could she not go back to Aronland with him, but she also had to unmate him. But how could she negotiate with Amon? Taya thought for a moment and decided to ask Amon what he wanted first.
Amon rested his chin on the one hand and tilted his head to look at Taya. “It’s fine if you don’t agree, but you have to tell me, what did Alpha Knight use to persuade you to stay?” Taya was taken away by Griffon from the airport. Since she refused to go back to Aronland with him when she came back, Griffon must have persuaded her with something. Taya glanced at him calmly and said, “It must be very important to me to keep me here.” She didn’t tell Amon that Silas was still alive because she was afraid that exposing his existence would bring danger to him. Since Taya didn’t want to give him an actual answer, Amon felt that there was no need to talk about it.
He got up and was about to leave with the fruit knife, but Taya quickly stopped him. “Wait a minute…” Amon stopped, turned around, and glanced at her lightly. “Are you willing to tell me?” Taya shook her head and said, “I can’t tell you about this. Why don’t you change your condition?” Amon raised his eyebrows, “But I’m only interested in this matter…” Taya took a deep breath and said vaguely, “What do you think he can do to persuade me to stay?” Taya didn’t tell him the truth, which piqued Amon’s interest. “Do you love him?” he asked. Taya fell silent and did not reply to him. Her eyes were devoid of emotion, which confused Amon. He paused for a few seconds and said indifferently, “If you don’t answer, stay with me and continue to be Rosalie’s substitute…” Taya clenched her fists and asked, “So, can we get unmated?” Amon heard her words and thought she had admitted it. He couldn’t help but sneer, “Your personality is nothing like your sister’s. If it were her, after being hurt, she would never turn back. But you, that jinx just has to coax you a few words, and you’ll return to him.” Taya followed his words, saying, “Yes, I’m not like my sister. You know this very well, but you still forcibly treat me as her…” Amon’s expression froze for a moment, and he did not respond to her.
Instead, Taya continued, “In fact, I know very well that you treat me as my sister not only because of this wolf spirit but also because you want to ease your guilt towards her.” Upon hearing this, Amon suddenly let out a cold laugh. “How could I possibly feel guilty towards her?” “Is that so?” Taya continued calmly, “My sister ended her life early just to escape from you, which means the pain you caused her was more unbearable than death. You treat me as her replacement, trying to make up for your past mistakes. But no matter what you do, my sister will never come back. Why do you need to deceive yourself with a virtual illusion?” Hearing these words, Amon’s face darkened. His entire body seemed to be enveloped in darkness, making him look extremel sinister and terrifying. His wolf flashed in his eyes, and she worried she’d gone too far. Taya saw that he was like this and knew that what she had just said had pierced his thoughts and exposed his true colors.
Although she was afraid that he might become angry or embarra*sed, she still gathered up her courage and continued to lead him into her own line of thinking, “My sister’s dying wish was to save me, not to let me replace her after I survived. If you really want to make amends to her, then let me go…!” Amon stood still and looked at her coldly. “Didn’t you say so much just to get unmated?” Seeing that he understood her intention, Taya stopped using her sister as a bargaining chip and asked, “Are you willing to let me go?” Amon sneered, “Don’t you think you’re being ungrateful?” Hearing this, Taya lowered her eyes in embarra*sment. Although she was forced to mate Amon, he was right. She had achieved her goal of returning home, and now she was going back on her word. She was indeed ungrateful. Seeing that she had nothing to say, Amon regained the initiative. After staring at her for a while, he threw the fruit knife in his hand in front of Taya. “I told you before that if you want me to let you go, you should imitate your sister…”
“Now, I only give you one choice. Do you want to unmate or return her wolf spirit to me? It’s up to you…” Taya’s face turned pale. She raised her eyes and stared blankly at Amon. “If I return the wolf spirit to you, my sister will no longer exist in this world. Are you sure you want me to do this?” “That’s better than you being with another man with her wolf spirit…” He bent down slightly and stared at Taya with his cold and sinister eyes. “I’ve always destroyed anything I couldn’t get…” Hearing this, Taya’s heart skipped a beat, but her mind was racing. Her nervous expression gradually calmed down as if she had thought of something. She lowered her eyelashes, looked at the sharp knife on the tea table, and then looked at Amon, who had always been looking down on her… After hesitating for a minute, she raised her slender fingers, picked up the fruit knife, aimed it in the direction of her heart, and stabbed it fiercely.
