Chapter 239 Ripple-affected

• ELIAS'S P.O.V
• I hadn't had any symptoms of being cursed, but would there even be any? This was uncharted water and the dangers were at an all-time high. How do I tell my mother, the woman who has done all she can to protect me from this, that I went and fucked it all up? Would saying I did it in the name of love make it any better? Probably not. But that didn't take away from the fact that this was my reality. I chose to have sex with Zola, which ultimately led to the predicament I am in now. But it was a choice, one that I'm sure was already written in the stars long before I actually decided to do it.
• "How do you think they even came to the conclusion that my blood would curse you?" Zola asked as I took a seat next to her.
