He knew that he should have been truthful with her. She deserved the truth and he had been so afraid of her reaction to it that he felt that hiding everything from her would somehow be better. He was misguided and ignorant in his actions, choosing the selfish path that allowed him to sleep better at night than letting Sky know the truth about him and what he had done. If he had been honest with her they might have been able to avoid this mess, he might have been able to protect her from his old friends trying to drag him back into his whole life. He should have been the one to tell her - she should have heard it from him. “I did - I was going to tell you.” He may have planned to tell her but that didn��t matter now. 

“I trust you - Sky, I trust you more than I’ve ever trusted anyone. I was scared that you would hate me and I just - I don’t know why I didn’t say anything.” He loved her and he trusted, so there really was no explanation for not telling her. There was no reason to keep things from her for so long. “I’m sorry about not telling you, about everything that happened.” 

She wasn't upset because what he had done prior to their relationship was her definition of monstrous, the only thing that set off a tic was the pure fact that the original intention of them meeting was a hell of a let less sweet than she initially thought. Whatever had changed his mind --- if it never happened, she'd be more than likely dead right now and that had never scared her before. She loved him and yet, the pair were so close to ending up in a completely different and horrible situation than a somewhat forbidden cliche kind of love story. 

" I couldn't hate you --- fuck, Jake I'd never hate you... I've done awful things too, things I'm not proud of but I wish you had just told me forever ago before all of this happened. " It had been two years and she was just too stupid to notice that he might not have been who he said he was There had been zero suspicions, nothing to hint that something wasn't right. " I should be angry about this but I'm not because I love you... Do you not get that? "

He would have given anything to take her place, to be the one who was suffering. Annie didn’t deserve any of this, not that any of them did, but she was human and shouldn’t have been drawn into the hell of the curse. Matt loved her more than anything and it broke his heart that there was nothing that he could do to protect her or take care of her.

He wasn’t ready to let her go - he would never be ready to let her go. She was his mate and the absolutely love of his life and he knew that, if she did die, a part of him would die too. He was connected to her in a way that he could never begin to describe or even begin to explain to her. “I love you so much, Annie. You and Connor, you’re the best things to ever happen to me.” Without a doubt they were the best parts of his life, meeting her was the best thing to happen to him. “Please don’t say that, I can’t lose you. Me and Connor can’t lose you.” 

She knows that someone as sweet as Matt would've taken her place in a snap but that was not something that Annabeth could stomach. Their son needed to grow up with them both, but fuck --- she couldn't imagine living in this world without him. It hurt her too much to think about, losing him and Connor was what kept her up at night trying to contain all the horrible thoughts that ate her alive. He couldn't protect her from this and she couldn't stop it, slowly Annie was just accepting her end even if she would have given anything to stay with them. " I don't want you to get your hopes up about anything of this, it might not --- this just might not turn out, Matty. I need you to be okay in the end of all of this, he's going to need you and I can't be there anymore. I'm not going to be there anymore.. "

Finn knew that she didn’t blame him for everything that was happening and that there really wasn’t anyone to blame, but he still felt guilty. He wasn’t himself and it seemed like there was nothing that he could do to go back to the way that he used to be - the way that he normally was. He was a shadow of what he once were and this really couldn’t have happened at a worse time. Right now they were supposed to be happy and excited about having a baby and starting their family but things felt so wrong and broken between them. 

He wished that he could do something to change things or force himself to be normal again, but that wasn’t how things worked. The curse had settled over all of them and it was so powerful that it seemed that there was absolutely no use in fighting it anymore. “I can’t help but feel bad for all of this -” this wasn’t a conversation that he really wanted to had, but eventually he knew they would. “How are you? How’s the baby?” 

She couldn't be angry with him or anyone else for what was happening, it wasn't something that easy to fix and what she thought would be a handful of days became a dramatic affair of mess. He wasn't himself and time wasn't being so kind, with only a few months left till there was someone else depending on them for everything. It was a little too much to deal with right now, fearing about the future, worrying about them and their unborn child. If anything went wrong, it was on them despite none of this being their fault and she hated it, more than words could express. The least she could do was pretend to be positive about the whole situation. " Don't be, we'll figure it out. " Odessa shrugs off, grasping one of his hands tightly in her own. " He's good, really good I think. "

Some had been lucky enough to dodge the affects of the curse whether it was out of luck or age, but the two of them hadn’t been that lucky. Being a succubus and hellhound had left them both vulnerable to it and, as the days wore on, the two of them only seemed to be drawing closer and closer to death and that wasn’t a thought that Miles was okay with. His body was slowly shutting down and as badly as he tried and wanted to take care of her and protect her, there was little that he could do. 

“I’m okay,” he assured her, pulling her a bit closer to him. Miles felt bad that he was so tired all the time and there was little he could do for her other than cuddle. Things didn’t look great for them and he wanted to spend as much time with her as he could. “What about you? Are you okay?” 

She was always trying to take care of everyone else, especially him and this situation --- the violent sickness plaguing them all of a sudden was doing little to help despite how terribly it was affecting her as well. Miles was her best friend and he'd already gone through hell, he was freezing cold and it terrified her that she was going to end up outliving the one person she had grown so attached to unexpectedly. Lucky days were becoming far and few, he was dying and Emmy was ready to lose her mind about it. " I'm just... worried about you. " The red head trailed off, not wanting to think about it much longer. " I'm fine, y'know considering. "

It had been over forty years since they had said goodbye and Kellan had never regretted anything more. He had thought about Lorraine more than he didn’t and he always found himself wondering what would have happened if they had just stayed together. Maybe he wouldn’t have ended up in another war and he was certain that he would have handled the loss of their son far better than he had. Kellan knew that hunting down and killing anyone who was there when Jamie died wasn’t healthy or morally right, but it sure as hell made him feel a bit better. They had barely had a few months as a family and he had already missed so much of their son’s life, only for hunters to show up and ruin everything. They hadn’t even shown any hesitation in murdering Jamie and attempting to do the same to Lorraine, all while Kellan was forced to watch, unable to do anything to protect the two of them, and he hadn’t shown any hesitation in killing the hunters he could find. 

Everything made sense once he saw Lorraine. He had been able to kill half of the hunters who were there night, the other half were dead by the time that he got there. It made sense that she had come to the same conclusion he had, but it was a bit surprising. Out of the two of them, he had always been the one more willing to turn to violence as a solution, but it was clear the death of their son had changed both of them. The feelings that he had tried to push away for the past few decades all came back as he stood there staring at her, wondering how he had been able to walk away from her all those years ago. He still loved her more than anything - he had never truly stopped loving her. “Yeah, he’s dead. All of them are dead now.” 

She could never bring herself to remove her wedding ring, at least not for more than a couple of hours or days at a time before deciding she didn't feel complete without it. Maybe it was pathetic that after all these years she was holding onto the memory of him still so tightly but there would never be anything that could leave her having any desire to move on. Things may have turned out differently if they had attempted to work things out but wondering what could have been wouldn't help, the two of them had painstakingly gone their separate ways and it'd always be her biggest regret. It had taken years, a couple of decades for Lorraine to accept that there wasn't anything she could've done to keep Jamie safe but hunting down his killers gave her a little bit of relief.

Was it wrong that she never felt guilty for hunting them down and killing them like pigs for slaughter? It was a bad thing to do and not the high road but they weren't going to get any mercy, not from her. Not only had they killed her young son but ruined her marriage and she never felt like that deserved any reward. They had spent years by each others side but now it felt almost awkward standing opposite him, at a loss for words knowing that she still loved him more than anything else in this world. "Good. They deserved it," After almost fifty years at least the two of them could get even the tiniest bit of relief. "How have you been? You... You look good."

The last time Lorraine had seen Kellan it was 1975 and they had come to the difficult choice to separate after everything had fallen completely apart. He had been the most important thing in her life, her best friend and other half for hundreds of years. She'd stuck by his side effortlessly and loyally even when she had been terrified every time he left for yet another war that he wouldn't return back to her the same. That may have been the hardest thing, knowing that he would never return the same but each time they still made it through. Jamie had been the next best part of her life and even if he couldn't be there to help bring him up it made missing Kellan a little easier. He'd come home and they could be a family, everything would be fine but it wasn't. He hadn't been home more than a couple of months before hunters had almost killed them and murdered their son which had only began a downward spiral.

A part of her desperately wanted to find him over the years, it was so difficult being on her own again but she could never bring herself to do so; not with how much she had changed. Lorraine never considered herself a violent person but it had been completely justified in her mind to hunt down the men that killed her son, some of them had already been dead before she got there but she had never questioned it until now standing in front of her sort of ex husband sharing the same exact intention and motivation as he had. There was a tightness in her chest that hadn't been there since she had watched him walk away decades ago, regretting that she didn't have it in her then to fight for him to stay. "Hey.." Somehow she felt more nervous than she had ever been around him, her heart racing just at the sight of him outside of worn out photographs. "I'm guessing you took care of it, we were both here for the same reason right?"

He had no reason to believe or trust her given the amount of times she had up and left him without a word, but she was serious this time. It had taken years for Alessia to get to a point that she could admit all she would ever want is to be with him and she could only hope that he would believe her this time around. She was willing to do whatever she had to prove to him that she wasn’t going to leave, that if he wanted her back she would be his for eternity. “Nate, I’m serious. No more games, no more hurting you - just me and you together. What do I have to do to prove I’m serious about this - about us?” 

After everything they'd been through together Nathan didn't know what to believe but he wanted to believe that somehow they would work eventually. He had always loved her, nothing about that had ever nor would it ever change. Nate had been in love with Alessia since he was a human, so much that he'd let her break his heart over and over again because he hoped one day they'd figure it out. "Don't leave again, I know I've said it before but I mean it this time, this is it. I'm not going to go keep doing this,"

Dane had no idea why he had been sparred from the curse and she wasn’t. He saw how the rest of the wolves were affected by the curse and he counted himself lucky as he wasn’t being subjected to so much anger. Everything was such a mess and Dane was going to do his best to make sure that Letha stayed safe and alive. She was his whole world and the last time someone hurt her he didn’t handle it too well. It was one of the few occasions that he had actually lost control of his temper, but he wasn’t going to let those that hurt her get away with it. 

A part of Dane had known they were before they were even together. The two of them had been in each others lives for so long and it was still crazy to him that he had somehow denied his feelings for her. Letha was easily the single best person that he had ever met and he was always amazed that he had been so lucky to love her. He knew how much of a cliche it was, but, when it came to her, he was a love-sick puppy. Dane slid back into bed with her, wrapping his arms around her as she leaned over to kiss him. “Hey, come back here,” he teased her as he pulled her in for another kiss. “You’re definitely more fun than work. More beautiful, too.” Work could wait a little while longer. 

If there was any bright side to the whole situation, Letha could confidently say she was more than relieved Dane had been spared from it all. One of them had to keep everything together and it couldn't be Letha whose body was finally rotting inside out slowly deteriorating like it should've years ago in the woods. It was hard to think about but whatever the magic was doing to her was leaving those bad memories far more present in her mind than she would've preferred. Sharp images of her bloodied body, the boys that attacked her and Dane through hazy vision kept replaying in her mind and up until recently she had blocked anything before Dane carrying her into his bathroom to get her cleaned up. It was a lifetime ago but without a doubt the worst day of her life.

They'd been together forever now, and mates even longer but it was hard to think of a time where the two weren't at each others sides. They came in a pair and she was so happy he was in her life, even if this curse looked like their time was going to be cut to a halting end sooner or later. No matter the amount of time spent together already Dane was without a doubt the love of her life and she had been so happy he stumbled into it all those years ago. Letha giggled pulling herself over to his side of the bed to continue kissing him. "I know I am one hundred percent more fun than work so maybe you could call and cancel today? I'm not feeling that great and I wanted to spend some time with you."

It was easier to stay silent than risk doing something wrong. The curse left him with anger than he could neither control nor understand and the last thing Henry wanted was for their curse to affect his children or his marriage, but it was clear that it was. It was very easy to see that something was off about him and a part of him was concerned that their kids had begun to notice. He was there and present and trying his hardest to make things as normal as possible - their kids needed to think everything was normal when, in reality, both he and Holly were on the verge of completely falling apart. 

“Yeah, I am.” It was easier to lie than worry Holly any more. He knew that she was dealing her own issues and he was trying his hardest to be their for her, but the curse was making that difficult. Henry wrapped one of his arms around her, getting a little closer to her as he did so. “I’m sorry about all of this - for being a shitty father and husband.” It was the most he had spoken in days, but it was something that had been weighing on his mind. 

The longer he went without speaking to her the more worried Holly became. She knew the curse was effecting them all in completely different ways but it was hard to accept that it was making her husband an entirely different person. None of them had ever done anything wrong and she could not think of a reason justifiable for this kind of punishment, it simply wasn't fair. It was hard balancing parenting and the harsh impact of the curse all at once but there was nothing Holly could do other than shelter their kids from it. They had been together for so long and not once had Holly ever doubted that he loved her, she knew he did and she loved him too but all of this was causing their marriage to crumble. 

Holly moved into his touch without question, falling back into a familiar position she had been what felt like thousands of times before. It was so much easier to fabricate a lie rather than share the brutal truth but she hated how easily she could see through it. She couldn't rid the feeling that something terrible was going to happen and it only became more difficult to pretend like she wasn't falling apart with him. "Stop that, you're not. Not even in the slightest... I know things aren't good right now and we don't have to talk about it but I understand."

The worst of it was over - all of it was over and the two of them were finally safe. Kenzie hadn’t been surprised when the hunters had shown up, it only made sense that they would come sooner or later to pick them all off as they were weakened by the curse. The hunters were gone, but things were still a mess. The curse had taken her little sister from her and Kenzie couldn’t stop from blaming herself for not being there to protect her. She hated herself for it, for being happy to see Adam safe and alive with everything that had just occurred.

Kenzie stood there for a moment, holding him as she tried to collect herself after everything that they had just been through. After everything she had just seen, she was more than relieved that at least Adam was okay. She knew that she didn’t have to say anything about how relieved she was, how happy she was that he was safe - it was the beauty of them being mates, some things could just go unsaid. “Are you okay?” 

Adam could never understand the justification of such hatred towards people that were different, no amount of arguments or even age could ever make him understand the mindset of hunters. He'd lost plenty of family and pack at the hands of humans who were quote on quote brave enough to fight back but that wasn't how things ever were. It was wrong and even if this curse was afflicted upon them by a witch it still was unfair on every level possible. They were only trying to survive and he couldn't help the awful feeling left in his chest, tight and uncomfortable with guilt knowing there was absolutely nothing he could do to help his hurting girlfriend. 

His arms snaked around her tightly, the closer he held her the more assurance that she was alive and well in his mind. They'd just gone through hell and despite all the dirt and blood all he could do was hold her. If anything was wrong he'd know, not even wolf instinct but the beauty of being mates. She didn't need to tell him anything, he just knew. "I'm okay, Kenz. Are you?"

Parker was never an angry person, but the idea that someone had hurt her wasn’t something that he could handle. He had no idea what had motivated the attack in the first place or the subsequent need to continue harassing and scaring Marisol and all he wished was that he had done more to protect her. Parker knew that he had no control over what had happened to her and that there was nothing he could do to change things, but it didn’t change how guilty he felt for all of this. After all, he had been the one to bring her into this world. “I’m not going anywhere, I promise,” he said as he held her a little tighter. Parker had no idea how he could fix things or make her feel better, but he was willing to try anything. “I’m here for whatever you need.” 

Marisol couldn't blame him for being angry, no one could but there was nothing either of them could do to change it. She'd been brutally attacked first when he was half way across the world and the continuous attacks and stalking from the same man had been left unexplained. It terrified her but with everything that had been going on she didn't want to make things worse than they already had been. It was never his fault, even if she felt like it was a little bit of hers neither of them were to blame for it. "I love you so much Parker." Her voice was soft, muffled against the fabric of his shirt as she pulled herself into him more worried if she'd let go he might vanish. "I just don't want to be alone, that's all."

Jake knew that there were probably about four million other ways that he could have better handled to situation than choosing not to tell her what he had once been. When he had met her everything he had been taught from the moment that he was born had disappeared, he had been looking for a reason to leave that life behind him and she had given him one. Jake had fallen in love with her so quickly and he knew that he should have just been honest with her in the beginning - about why they had met, what he had done before, everything. He had been so afraid that if she knew she would hate him, but this was so much worse. “I’m sorry.”

There was only so many times he could say it, but Jake didn’t know what else he could do. If it hadn’t been for him, she wouldn’t have gotten hurt in the first place - his friends, his family - they wouldn’t have come looking for him and found Sky. “I was stupid - I thought you would hate me if you knew why we had met, the things that I’ve done. I thought that I was protecting you and I wasn’t. I only put you in more danger by not telling you.”

She wanted to be angrier, she really did. All she wanted was for this to be easy and being angry with him was a lot easier than wondering what would happen now. Wondering if they could get past this may have been the worst part and Skylar was afraid that despite everything else they had been through this would be the reason they would fall apart. It was too late to wish that he had told her to begin with, it was useless to even think of, they both knew that anything would've been easier than a run in with a couple of hunters. Neither of them were perfect and like Jake, Sky had done some terrible things in the past that she wasn't particularly proud of but it was never this personal. "Did you ever plan on telling me?"

There were only so many times she could hear him apologize, knowing damn well that it wouldn't change anything after the first few times. She couldn't blame him, especially not when she loved him more than anything even after knowing the truth. "I've done some pretty awful shit too, I imagine it cannot be easy to talk about but did you not trust me enough to tell me? Did you think I was going to hate you?"

His ex-wife wasn’t something that he really ever wanted to talk about or even think about, but with current circumstances it was impossible not to. At first it seemed that only the newer and younger supernaturals were being effected by everything, then he started to feel himself lose his humanity and when he thought things couldn’t get worse, he started to get sick - exhibiting the same symptoms that the succubi and incubi were. His body was killing itself and there was nothing they could do to stop it.

The last thing he wanted to do was leave Ramona - she was easily the only good thing that he ever had in his life. Madden was an asshole, and he was well aware of that, but for some reason she had wanted to be with him. As badly as he wanted to believe that they would somehow figure something out, he just couldn’t. They both had to accept that fact that there was a chance that this wasn’t going to end well. “I don’t know, but what if we don’t find a way to fix this? It’s a real possibility.”

Despite knowing about Alessandra, Ramona never pressed on about her. To be completely truthful she had no interest in hearing about the woman who had brought her husband so much pain to begin with but now she was pretty unavoidable. Whatever influence she had on them all was hurting Madden the most and it terrified Ramona that one day she was going to wake up and he wouldn't be there anymore. He was hundreds and years old and now somehow he was dying. 

The only reason she was a part of this kind of world was because of Madden and Ramona knew that she did not want any of this without him. He'd been her other half for so long, a life without him was unimaginable and not one she wanted. Even if they had started a little rocky he meant the whole world to her and there would never be a day where she would feel different about him. "Madden, I-I don't want a life without you. I don't know one without you I'm not letting you leave me now."

Teddy could see what the curse was doing to her and he wished that he could do more to help her. Whatever magic had done this was stronger than anything that he had seen, it was affecting almost everyone with only a few exceptions. Things were already hard enough for her and seeing her like this was breaking his heart. Claudia deserved so much better than this and Teddy hated that there was nothing that he could to even begin to help her.

Whether she believed it or not, he knew that she wouldn’t hurt him. “I think that the assurance comes with age,” he joked, moving a bit closer to her as he spoke. He knew how much she feared losing control, but Teddy wasn’t that good at keep his distance from Claudia. “Good, because I don’t know what I’d do without you. You make my life a hell of a lot better.”

Stumbling into an unfamiliar world of vampires and werewolves and magic had never been Claudia's intention. Up till a couple of years she had no idea it existed till she was dragged heads first into it, in all honesty it was never even her choice but she was grateful for it now fitting into Teddy's life. Her track record with relationships was admittingly not the best but Teddy had been the best thing that had happened in a very long time and whether he knew it or not he had helped her more than she could ever thank him for. 

He may have trusted her more than she had trusted herself since she was human and it terrified her knowing that he had that much faith in her. "Well you are super old," Claudia almost smirked, but it was still a little crazy to her. He's lived more years than she could ever imagine and he barely looked a day over thirty. She could hear his heart beat pounding so loud and it had only made her more nervous, feeling like a child as she curled up at the end of their bed. "I feel like I'm slightly complicating it right now but I feel the same way about you. I wouldn't have figured a lot of this out without you,"

Whatever was happening, for some reason he was left unaffected by it. At first, it had seemed that only the supernaturals were affected by it, but somehow Annie had been drawn into all of this because of her affiliation with him. Matt wanted so desperately to fix things and wished that there was someway that he could make it so that he was one who was hurting and not her. She didn’t deserve any of this - none of them did - but she especially didn’t. Annie was dying and it was taking everything for him to not completely fall apart.

He was trying his best not to think of what seemed like the only ending to this whole thing. Matt couldn’t imagine a life without her in it and Connor needed his mother - they both needed her so much. The idea of raising their son on his own wasn’t something that he could handle, but he knew that it was a very real possibility if they didn’t find a way to fix things. “There has to be some way that we can fix this,” he told her, really not wanting to have a conversation about her death. “I can’t lose you, Annie.”

While Annie had been more than relieved Matt was left unscathed from whatever was killing her, she was worried how this would end. The end, whether it was sooner or later, was not looking so great when she could barely pull herself out of bed in the morning. It was terrifying to think that her life felt so put together only a month or two ago and now it was falling apart much faster than she could keep up. 

Annabeth had no intention to leave Matt or their son anytime soon but as time passed on it seemed only if that was no longer her choice. She needed them just as much as they needed her and it killed her knowing that there may come a time where Connor was going to have to grow up without her. "I don't heal like you do and we... we don't have enough time to figure it out." There was no medical cure to an illness that did not even exist outside some bad magic. "I'm so happy I met you, I need you to know that. Meeting you was one of the best things that has ever happened to me, Matt."

Ares was never the angry type, contrary to the way that he looked or the fact that his parents named him after the god of the war, so this was new to him. He hated the way that he felt and more than anything he could only worry that the curse might inevitably drive Isabel and that was the last thing he wanted. Ares had never loved anyone the way that he loved her and the idea of losing her wasn’t something that he could handle. “Good, I love you so much, Izzy. I’m sorry about this whole mess.”  

Isabel knew he could usually handle himself but none of this was usual for them. In all the years they had known each other, been together, she had never seen him like this or even half as angry. Despite being named after the god of war Ares may have been one of the most peaceful people she had ever come across and that had always been something she adored about him. It worried her that he was so unlike himself but no matter what she would stay by his side. “Don’t be sorry, none of this is your fault. I love you too and I promise I’m going to help you through this.”

She didn’t want him to feel guilty for what had happened. It may have been his maker who had called all over their recent problems, buts Ava didn’t blame him for any of it. Alex did everything to protect her and she knew that and all she wanted was for things to go back to normal and she was more than happy that they could finally do that. Ava couldn’t help but lean into him a little more as he kissed her cheek, all she wanted was to be close to him again after all the time that they had been apart. “Some people have weird rules about tradition and luck when it comes to weddings, but I don’t know if anything about us is really that traditional. I hope you know you’re going to have to deal with me asking you for opinions on everything.”

Alexander knew that no matter what he thought Ava would never put the blame on him for what happened. Despite all the pain he has indirectly caused her she opposed his desire to take responsibility for what had happened to her. It was so hard not to feel like it was his fault, especially when all of this was taking him back when he lost everyone else. Alex would never be able to not feel responsible for the death of his ex wife and unborn child even a century later and knowing Ava could've suffered the same fate left him just as wounded. "I hope you know I'm going to think you look beautiful in absolutely everything,"
