Chapter 95Xavier's Pov Grief and regret engulfed my soul like an insatiable wildfire in the aftermath of recent occurrences. The home was strangely quiet, with a gloomy feeling pervading every nook. I couldn't get the weight of losing everyone I'd ever loved off my shoulders, my heart hurting for those I couldn't save in time. Fate felt merciless, pitting my existence against me like a tenacious foe. My desire for vengeance against the enemy was intense, yet he eluded me, continuing with his nasty methods.My biggest regret in life was that I couldn't save my parents; as the Alpha of the Oak Pack, I should have been there to protect them.My worst guilt was directed at my parents, whom I couldn't protect despite being the Alpha of the Oak Pack.

Chapter 96 Ariana's eyes shone with anxiety as she bravely raised her head, finding the fortitude to explain what she had learned."I overheard her saying that she plans to...to destroy the oak pack soon," she explained."Did she confide in you about this?" I inquired, intrigued by the significance of the revelation.Ariana replied with a shake of her head, "No, she was talking to someone else.""Whom was she speaking to?" I dug a little deeper."I didn't see the other person," she admitted, "but someone was present in the jungle that day when we all descended for the unbreakable bond ceremony.""How did you happen to stumble upon her conversation?" I wondered."On my way back to the mountain, I slipped away from the group to explore a part of the jungle where I saw Hina walking, I followed her," she admitted before becoming silent, mindful of Elodie's stern presence, ready to reprimand her for defying orders to stay with the group."And then?" I prodded, my curiosity building as I tr
Chapter 97 Xavier's POV Elodie's words resonated like fateful whispers in the poorly lit room. "It's not a question of right and wrong; you can't change the future; no matter what you do, the future will remain static," she murmured as we both were in the room together, her voice barely audible.Elodie's convictions were unwavering. "If someone is fated to die, he will die; if one is fated to live, he will live."In reaction, my determination blazed. "No, I would not accept a future that did not favor me," I said, my heart racing.Her next question surprised me. "What if I tell you that I can only save one and that the other will perish?" she probed the depths of my soul with her question.Vera had presented me with the same quandary previously, leaving me dumbfounded and my mind a maelstrom of contradictory feelings."Would you be willing to give up your brother to save the bride you were begging me to save just a few seconds ago? Or do you want to save your brother?""I have no ans
Chapter 98Sansa's Pov Back in timeAs the rain dropped gently from the twilight sky, each droplet carried the aroma of dust like teardrops, the atmosphere was heavy with sorrow. I was dressed solemnly in a black robe, clutching a half-moon-shaped pendant around my neck—a special present from my father, a keepsake I treasured. It was my habit to touch the pendant whenever I'm feeling down. My mother had given it to him on their wedding day, but fate had passed it on to me after she died shortly after I was born.I stood at my father's grave with my grandfather, Falkor Grant, under a weeping sky. I had hoped for sympathy from him, but his cold stare said it all, making me feel like a weight he refused to carry. The weight of his apathy destroyed my heart, leaving me feeling completely alone and abandoned.He was dressed in a black long coat and holding the umbrella that had previously protected me from the rain—the same umbrella that my father had used to protect me. He remained there
Chapter 99Sansa's Pov Shadows danced on the walls as I sat facing my stern grandfather, anxious to solve the mystery of my parents' remarkable love. The air was tense because I knew how he felt about anything non-human, especially my mother, a werewolf—the very kind he was famed for hunting."Lay me next to your mother when I close my eyes for the rest of my life, and I will rest in peace," my father's ultimate wish to be buried near the woman he loved, my mother, resonated in my thoughts.He recalled their fateful meeting in the bush, where he was hunting to protect the locals from wild animals. He discovered my mother there, injured and in werewolf form. He brought her home and cared for her wounds out of compassion for animals, unknowing of her true nature.When Grandfather Falkor was away, my father nursed her, and to his surprise, she evolved into a human in before of his eyes—a revelation that warmed his heart and spurred an ardent desire to learn more about her.Their bond gr
Chapter 100Sansa's Pov My gaze switched from the dropped knife to my grandfather's face, his eyes filled with a sickening mix of fury and loathing. He despised both my mother and me, and now that my father was no longer protecting me, I had become his primary target.I pushed back against his hard grip on my collar as he grabbed for the knife that had dropped. As he took a few steps back, dragging me closer by the collar, his goal to harm me became evident.I dug my sharp teeth into his wrist, creating imprints that drew terrible screams from him, summoning all of my strength. My actions seemed to aggravate his rage, and he tried to push me away with force.I gasped for air as soon as he let go of my collar, but my relief was fleeting as he flung me into the wall, causing my head to smash into the surface and sending me sprawling to the ground.He rushed toward me, tears flowing down his cheeks, bent on swinging the knife. As I lay helpless and terrified on the floor, he regarded me
Chapter 101 Sansa's Pov Back to the mansionXavier's actions perplexed and upset me. The simple bowl of banana custard had become a symbol of his mistrust or sadistic pleasure in seeing me suffer. He left me alone with a bang of the door, my tears falling nonstop, suffocating me with grief.Escape from this psychopath's grasp appeared impossible. Every breath I took seemed like a weight, as the walls closed in on me, emotionally and physically strangling me.Though I could have chosen Xavier and extended my life, I opted to accept my fate and confront death. The more he tried to dominate me, the more determined I got to resist, no matter what the repercussions were.Logan, my wonderful lover, was the driving force behind my decision. I had made the ultimate sacrifice to save him, gladly giving up my life for his sake. I could only hope that he would understand and forgive me for carrying such a great load on my heart.Walking was difficult in my ecstasy; each step felt like a massive
