Chapter 70She fell from a vast height to the earth in an instant, her emotions shifting dramatically. Her dreams had been broken, and she felt as if she would never be able to dream again.Her previously concealed wounds were now raw and open. Accepting her recent defeat was a difficult journey for her. The victory that had appeared so briefly had broken her beyond repair.As Bella sat on the ground, looking trapped like a statue amongst falling snow beneath a beautiful sky, the air seemed heavier, and profound grief penetrated the atmosphere. In a moment, her life had been turned upside down.I couldn't stand leaving her alone, so I stayed behind her as the others left one by one. She was an outcast, a rebel, a survivor, and a fighter all rolled into one. Her struggle paralleled my own search for a better life.Bella gently rose to her feet and began walking towards me. Her pallor indicated her sorrow, indicating that she was in a lot of pain.Her countenance remained blank as she ca
Chapter 71 "No," I said, my thoughts still on the disturbing information regarding Xavier's sibling."He's not in good shape; Kris has given up on him, but he's keeping it hidden from Xavier," she sighed."What's wrong with him?" Concerned for Xavier's sibling, I questioned."He has ischemia, which is a condition in which blood flow and oxygen are restricted to a specific area of the body. He's on the verge of death, and no one knows how much time he has left," she continued, her heart breaking."It's painful to lose someone, but it's even more painful to have someone and not know when you'll lose them," I mumbled, sympathizing with Xavier's predicament."You're correct. "Xavier has been looking for his brother for years, and seeing him in this condition is excruciating for him," she remarked with compassion in her voice.Xavier's volatile emotions had been visible in the bush, and one look into his eyes revealed a man on the verge of insanity. I knew I had to get out before he did so
Chapter 72 Sansa's Pov I rushed hurriedly, desperately looking for a way out, but my efforts led me to a dead end with no way out. Fear grabbed me as one of the creatures came at me, its claw menacingly raised to attack, but Bella rushed to my help, briefly knocking the creature down with a nearby table. I had a brief opportunity to leave, but the thing swiftly recovered and resumed its relentless chase.Bella displayed unrivaled bravery, attacking the beasts with the fearlessness of a seasoned warrior, unafraid of injury or death. Her quick movements kept the beast at bay, and her unyielding refusal confused it.She snatched an archery bow off the wall and shot arrows at the animals while expertly escaping their attacks. Her abilities were excellent, and she appeared to have a plan to entice them outside."I'm taking them outside with me!" "Close the door!" Bella yelled, her resolve evident."That's not going to work! They will not leave until we all refuse to leave!" upset Amara ye
Chapter 73 Sansa's PovI rushed to Levine's side, gingerly reaching out my hand to see whether he was still breathing. But as my fingers lingered over him, a strange sensation washed over me as if touching him was a crime I committed.I halted and watched him carefully, perplexed by this unexpected upheaval of feelings. It was an unusual sensation, and I couldn't figure out where it came from. I wiped the blood-stained sheet aside slowly to better examine him and then reached out with fear to feel for any traces of respiration.Levine's hand unexpectedly came out and firmly seized my wrist, drawing me closer to him. His eyes were wide open, and we met gazes. My heart raced, and an electric current rushed through me. His distinct aroma engulfed me, captivating my senses.He appeared to want to say something, but his frail state prevented him from doing so. His grip tightened, and his penetrating gaze sent chills up my spine. Despite my dread, I couldn't shake the weird attraction I fel
Chapter 74Xavier's Pov Never before had I felt so completely helpless. The wild creatures' persistent onslaught was wearing on our pack members, and my thoughts raced in quest of a solution as more of those ruthless beings descended on us.Everyone was exhausted, but the animals showed no indications of giving up. Hours had gone, and with each passing instant, hope for success faded."Aim for the head!" I yelled urgently to Jerry as he aimed at one of the beasts approaching him, all while I sat helplessly in my wheelchair.The thought dawned on me that we were wasting our efforts. These white wild bears were immune to damage, impenetrable to our attacks, and untouchable due to their immortality. Meeting these monsters from the West, the most dangerous and indestructible species, was a terrible turn of events I could never have predicted.Even Maya's strong mountain army seemed helpless in the face of these tenacious foes, who had now entrenched their supremacy.As the pack members di
Chapter 75 Sansa's Pov Back in time: a few hours ago"I will reveal the way out, but you must give me something in return," a sly smirk on her lips, well aware of my intrigue. Vera replied.I had no idea that this would turn out to be the worst mistake of my life. Her devious manipulations had blinded me, and I wondered if some spell had been put on me, turning me into a willing pawn in her game of deception.The door flew open in an instant, and a swarm of animals surged for me. Panic gripped my heart, and I found myself surrounded with nowhere to go."You have 30 seconds to decide," she teased, forcing me to fall into her trap.As the wild creatures approached, my mind raced and panic gripped me. "I can't make any decisions because it's not in my hands, and I've already made a mess," I muttered.Vera said with a knowing tone, "Everyone makes mistakes, but that doesn't mean you can't make decisions.""Xavier is here; talk to him," I mumbled, hoping for a way out, but it felt too lat
Chapter 76 Hina's Pov "Monster!!!!""You truly are a monster.""They're going to kill you by burning you alive.""If they find out, they will hang you.""You are a witch, you filthy bad bit**""You filthy little monster." "I wish you would have died before you were born.""You're such a piece of bad luck; I wish I hadn't had you.""You were our mistake, and we sincerely regret it."Those were the words that haunted me like unrelenting demons throughout my youth. They were not the cruel words of strangers, but venomous obscenities hurled by my own parents, the ones who should have loved and treasured me. They detested my existence, resented the day I was born, and were determined to get rid of me at any cost.It was difficult to accept the concept of two souls occupying a single body. Vera and I were born at the same time but separated by our identities, so we shared this vessel. For the first four years of my life, I was completely unaware of Vera's presence, but when I was six, my
Chapter 77 Sansa's Pov"I thought I was insane; there was no way to save her, her skin was splitting, her body exuded lava-like heat, and I couldn't even lift her. Vera was doing havoc on Hina, who appeared to have given up resisting," said Ray's voice quivered, revealing the depth of his despair.We could all see the sorrow on his face as he watched Hina's condition deteriorate. Some of the pack's emotional members couldn't help but cry.I felt bad for my past doubts and realized I had misunderstood Ray without knowing the whole tale. We were both victims of Vera's deception, and I had unintentionally drawn him into the experience."I arrived at the mansion," continued Ray, as I began to piece together the puzzle.While Ray was buried in concentration, I clung to a sheet from the balcony above him, ready to flee the mansion that night.I mistook his concerned demeanor and the blood on his palm as evidence of guilt back then, oblivious to the hidden truth."I informed Edward about the
