Chapter 50
The room fell into a heavy silence after he left.
It was then that Lena, my wolf, appeared in my mind, her presence both calming and reassuring.
“Have you forgotten, Sherley?” she said gently. “You’ll be as good as new. Goddess Luna has given us the power to heal. No one can bring us down
Miraculously, I felt a slight easing of the pain in my hand.
It was a small miracle, but it provided me with a glimmer of hope.
I asked Lena if we could heal this wound completely.
“Of course,” she replied proudly.
I suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Leo was disabled in a war, and during that time I took care of him with all my heart.
Luckily, his leg, which was diagnosed by the doctor as impossible to recover, recovered.
I asked Lena, “Did we heal Leo’s leg injury at that time?”
Lena replied “Yes my love, see how we saved his crippled leg and made him healthy…
I was surprised and amused while she continued.
“Its our ability that also affects those around us, especially our mates.”
I thought back to when I was caring for Leo earlier, the way his injured legs were covered in scars, and it gave me some comfort to think that if injuries of that magnitude could be healed, then my hand injuries were probably nothing.
I was overwhelmed with emotions and gratitude so I gave Lena a very warm look..
The quiet of the room was abruptly interrupted when the door swung open, and a pair of impeccably dressed individuals entered.
Their haughty demeanor was evident as they looked around the room with disdain.
“Elizabeth Eaton?” the woman asked, her voice dripping with contempt. “Are you the she–wolf who is clinging to Leo and keeping Aria from being with
him?”
I stared at her, confusion and alarm swirling within me. “Who are you?”
The woman and the man introduced themselves with an air of superiority.
“We are Aria’s parents,” the man said. “Alpha and Luna of the Oceanheart Pack.”
My heart raced. I was about to ask them to leave when their next words struck me like a blow.
“Aria was attacked by thugs and injured her hand,” the woman accused, her voice thick with bitterness.
“You must have orchestrated this to secure the Luna position for yourself. You’re a wicked woman.”
I was stunned into silence.
The weight of their accusations and the realization of Leo’s hurried departure overwhelmed me.
So, he had rushed off to be with Aria after hearing about her injury? The truth was crushing.
The Alpha’s indifferent tone cut through mé like a knife.
“Leo threw you under the bus the moment he heard about Aria’s injury,” he said coldly. “You should just leave and not stay here to be humiliated.”
When they finished, they looked at me with condescending eyes, as if waiting to see me weep in shame and walk away from the place.
But they were destined to be disappointed.
I looked at them coldly, “You should ask Leo who is actually chasing after whom right now. And, as for your claims that I framed All The
of people here and they all heard of it. If you continue to slander me here, I don’t mind meeting you in court,”
Leo’s POV
The fury that raged within me was unlike anything I’d felt in a long time.
My hands trembled with barely contained violence as my mind replayed the image of Elizabeth’s consumed me, urging me to tear through every obstacle in my path.
I couldn’t think straight, the only coherent thought being the need for revenge.
injured hand. It was a white hot anger that
“I gathered my men and scoured every street in the neighborhood,” Beta’s voice broke through my haze of rage. He stood before me, his face etched with grim determination. “We used considerable force and managed to capture the man. He’s in custody now.”
My gaze locked onto Beta, my anger barely suppressed.
“What do you know about him? Why did he target Elizabeth?”
“He’s one of the rogues who fled after our last confrontation,” Beta replied, his voice steady. “I suspect this attack was a retaliatory move ained directly at you.”
Without a moment’s hesitation, I stormed towards the holding facility where the rogue was being detained.
The sight of him, battered and bruised from a grueling interrogation, did little to temper my rage.
I stormed into the interrogation room.
The rogue looked up, his eyes defiant despite the pain.
“Why did you go after Elizabeth?” I demanded, my voice a low growl.
The rogue sneered, a malicious grin stretching across his face. “I wanted to hurt those close to you.
Make
you suffer.”
