Chapter 290 Chapter 289: Holly’s Continued Delusion Meanwhile, Holly was moving about her home in anger. Her footsteps were sharp, frantic, restless — the kind of movements that made the floorboards complain beneath her weight. Her breaths came out in harsh bursts, her chest tight, her heart racing so fast

Chapter 289 Chapter 288: The Weight of What She Forgot Orion was already halfway to the door, anger radiating off him so strongly the air around him felt charged. His shoulders were tense, his breath harsh, and every step he took echoed fury. “Orion!” Lysander called sharply. But Orion didn’t

Chapter 288 Chapter 287: To Kill Her Mother “She didn’t let me get treated. She hit me, telling me it was my fault for getting sick. Telling me that I should never have been under the rain and how everything that happened was because of me. And I believed her

Chapter 287 Chapter 286: What She Buried Orion leaned forward slowly, eyes fixed on her as if he wasn’t sure he’d heard her correctly. “What do you mean?” he asked. Sophia didn’t look at him at first. Her gaze drifted to her hands resting on the blanket that was placed

Chapter 286 Chapter 285: She’s Back The room was too quiet. Too quiet for the chaos that had ruled it just minutes ago. The kind of quiet that sat heavy, not peaceful—just breathless, like the air itself was afraid to move. Lysander’s hands were still on Sophia’s chest when he

Chapter 285 Chapter 284: Echoes Beneath the Snowline At the Same Time Sophia didn’t trust that the woman wouldn’t attack her anymore. She didn’t trust that one mistake she made wouldn’t make the woman annoyed. “Oh.” The woman said, her voice soft all of a sudden. “Sophia p> She looked

Chapter 284 Chapter 283: When Breathing Starts to Fade “Powdered duskleaf mixed with night root and a little bit of paralys leaf,” he told her. Marta froze. “Did I just hear that correctly?” she asked slowly. “Yes. There was also some fever root in there p> “Lysander!” she snapped. “Are

Chapter 283 Chapter 282: A Fragile Stillness He moved and held her hands as firmly as his weak self could. Her fingers trembled as tears poured down her face. She kept apologizing as she tried to hit herself over and over again. Even with Benson holding her as tightly as

Chapter 282 Chapter 281: Benson and Sophia Lysander turned to Mira. “Get Orion, or better yet, get Garrett to get him and send someone to get Marta too. Don’t waste time. Run as fast as you can p> Mira nodded and ran out of the room urgently. “Damn it!” Lysander

Chapter 281 Chapter 280: When Memory Draws Blood He quickly gathered the bottles, doing his mixture rapidly so he could administer them to her immediately. But then he turned, and the sight he saw made him drop the small bowl with the mixtures in shock. It clattered to the ground

Chapter 280 Chapter 279: Projecting Pain At the Same Time, In Sophia’s Room Orion had gone to the training grounds with Garron, and Garrett had gone to use the toilet, so Lysander was the only one left in the storm with Sophia. Lysander sat at the long wooden table by

Chapter 279 Chapter 278: Screaming for Oxygen But she didn’t need to think about it too much, in the blink of an eye, the woman bent over and shoved Sophia’s head downward into the freezing water. The water met with Sophia’s face, it closed over her ears, her nose, her

Chapter 278 Chapter 277: Beneath Still Waters Sophia didn’t wake all at once. It came in pieces. A slow awareness first—like her mind was climbing up through thick water, every thought heavy and dragging. Then the faint recognition of cold against her skin. Not the sharp, biting cold of snow

Chapter 277 Chapter 276: A Word “But I’m only going to be there for a short while. Don’t expect me to spend a lot of time with them,” Orion told Garron. Garron nodded. “I’m not asking you to. I’m only suggesting that you go there so they know you haven’t

Chapter 276 Chapter 275: Whispers That Never Sleep It had been a full week now. A whole, dragging, agonising week since Sophia had collapsed. A week of dread, restless pacing, half-eaten meals, and conversations spoken in hushed tones. A week where the entire pack had slowly adjusted to the strange

Chapter 275 Chapter 274: The Man in the Room Sophia willed her eyes to open. She shouldn’t be asleep now. Shw should not be weak and in bed. The room tilted and spun around her, slow and dizzy like a wheel that refused to stop, but she realized she was

Chapter 274 Chapter 273: After the Dust of Training The training grounds were never truly quiet, even when training ended. The clang of metal and the sharp breaths of exertion faded, yes—but they always left something behind. Heat clinging to the air. Sweat soaked into the earth as snow fell

Chapter 273 Chapter 272: Breakfast and Buttered Rumours The dining hall was full as always in the mornings—more crowded now because the wind had turned colder and people wanted the warmth of each other’s company more than their privacy. And what better way to keep up with the latest events

Chapter 272 Chapter 271: When The Fever Stares Back Orion’s eyes remained fixed on the exact spot Micah had stood a second ago, even when the young man was already gone and the door had long closed behind him. His jaw tightened as he stared at the spot. “Do you

Chapter 271 Chapter 270: You’ll Be Among The Firsts To Know Orion pushed the inner door open and stepped into the lobby, Marta at his side. They came through the treatment wing; the rooms behind them smelled faintly of hot compresses and herb steam, and the soft murmur of a
