Chapter 65: Threats and Revelations

(Rachel Thompson’s POV)

Iran all the way downstairs, my legs still weak from fear and shock. The conversation I had overheard in Sophia Rivers‘ office echoed in my mind like a nightmare.

Director Sophia was actually the culprit who had harmed Healer Elena’s younger brother! The revelation hit me like a physical blow, making my chest tight with panic.

I hesitated in the Institute Corridor, caught between my conscience and the potential danger to myself. My hands trembled as I pulled out my phone, Elena’s contact information glowing on the screen.

Should I tell her what I knew? The weight of this secret felt crushing, but the fear of Sophia’s retaliation made my fingers freeze over the dial button.

Just as I raised my phone to call Elena’s number, swift footsteps approached from behind. Before I could react, Sophia Rivers appeared with werewolf reflexes, snatching the phone from my hand.

“Going somewhere with that phone, Rachel?” Sophia’s voice was deceptively calm, but her eyes burned with dangerous intensity.

My heart hammered against my ribs as I faced her. The corridor suddenly felt suffocating, the fluorescent lights too bright and harsh.

my voice not to betray my fear.

“Smart girl, staying quiet,” Sophia said, returning the phone to my trembling hands. “But let me give you some advice about surviving in this healing institute.”

She stepped closer, her voice dropping to a whisper that sent chills down my spine. “Without pack connections, one must learn to be oblivious to certain matters. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

I nodded frantically, clutching my phone like a lifeline.

+“Good.” Sophia’s smile widened, but it never reached her eyes. “Now tell me, what exactly can Elena offer you?

A recommendation letter? A small bonus?”

She laughed softly, the sound making my skin crawl. 1, on the other hand, am likely to stay around this Institute for a very long time. Someone who might not even return here… well, that’s not a very wise

investment, is it?”

The implications of her words hit me like ice water. Elena–was planning to leave the institute, while Sophia held significant power here.
