Thora didn’t hide anything. Before the man she was about to bond with, she slowly told him everything. She told him how she had died in her previous life, the betrayal, the agony of being cut open alive, and everything that had happened after she was reborn.
It was the deepest and darkest secret she had, and for the first time, she laid it all bare.
As she spoke, she watched Darius closely. But there was no shock on his face, no disbelief. There was only pain he could barely contain, and a fury so fierce it seemed ready to break loose.
Thora paused, caught off guard. Before she could say anything. Darius suddenly pulled her tightly into his arms. His voice was hoarse, each word trembling. “Did it hurt…?”
Betrayed by the subordinates she had trusted most, poisoned, cut open while still alive….
So in the time before he had known her, she had suffered that much, and suffered it all alone.
At his question, something in Thora’s heart softened at once. The hatred and bitterness from her previous life seemed to dissolve completely in that moment. So she didn’t always have to force herself to be strong.
There really was someone who would stand beside her, ache for her wounds, and grieve for what she had endured.
“It’s all in the past now.”
This was already her fourth year in this timeline. She had lived as Thora for four years. The things from her former life had long begun to fade.
The mood in the room had grown heavy. Thora didn’t want this hard-won happiness to be swallowed by such painful memories, and just as she was about to change the subject, Darius let out a quiet laugh first.
“That high priest in the clan really does have some skill after all.
“Hm?” Thora looked at him in confusion.
Darius hid the pain in his eyes, but deep down he had already made up his mind.
He would never let Thora relive the tragedy of her former life. Astralis would never betray her.
But his tone remained easy as he said, “Back when I still couldn’t find my fated mate, Lorcan used to lose control during his rut. The high priest told me my fated mate would come from 1,000 years in the future. I cursed him out on the spot. I told him I wasn’t some ancient turtle who could live that long waiting for a
mate.”
At that, the corners of Thora’s lips lifted, and a faint smile spread through her eyes.
“And yet he turned out to be right. My mate really did come from a world a thousand years ahead.”
Darius accepted it all with surprising ease. When he had first investigated Thora, the sharp contrast in her personality before and after had already planted doubts in his mind. Now that he had heard the truth from her own lips, every question finally had an answer. He felt no shock, only heartbreak for everything she had
endured.

Chapter 547 A Secret Carried Across a Thousand Years
From now on, she had him. He would never allow that kind of tragedy to happen to her again.

Looking at Amie and Lorcan, who had finally calmed down and were now leaning against each other, Thora suddenly remembered what Darius had said earlier.
“You said you were taking me somewhere. We took so long… is it still possible?”
Darius checked the time and laughed softly. “No, but it’s not a problem.”
Only then did Thora learn that Darius had prepared a welcome-back banquet for her. He had originally planned to take her to the mall to pick out a gown first, but things had changed when she chose to let Amie appear. Compared to that, everything else had become secondary.
