Chapter 88: Hidden Truths

(Elena’s POV)

I returned to the Blackthorne Family Compound to visit my mother. One of the Estate Caregivers opened the

door before I could knock.

“Who’s here?” Patricia’s voice came from inside the house.

Patricia walked to the Blackthorne Family Hall and froze when she saw me. “Elena?”

I helped her to the sofa, studying her face carefully. “Have you been taken care of these days?”

Patricia reassured me with a gentle smile. “Marcus’s arrangements are indeed proper, but I won’t be grateful

to him.”

She pulled my hand closer, her voice dropping to a worried whisper. “Are we really leaving the Northern

Territory? Can David leave?”

I nodded firmly. “Everything has been arranged, including finding a house.”

Patricia looked around the familiar space with reluctance in her eyes. “This is the house your fall aft

behind. After living here for so long, I’m a little reluctant to sell it.”

But if she didn’t sell it, the Blackthorne Pack would be eyeing it. The Northern Territory offered her no place to settle down peacefully.

Perhaps leaving was the best option after all.

Just as I was about to speak, my phone vibrated. Marcus’s name flashed on the screen.

I moved to the Blackwood Manor Terrace to respond privately. “What’s wrong?”

Instead of asking about Oliver, Marcus asked calmly, “Are you back at the estate?”

“Don’t you trust my arrangements?” His voice carried a hint of challenge.

I pursed my lips. “No.”

Marcus acknowledged with a simple sound. “What did Grandmother say today when you went to the

Ancestral Manor?”

What could I say? I was silent for a few seconds before slowly opening my mind to him.

“I think there’s something you’ve misunderstood.”

When he didn’t respond, I took a deep breath and continued, “I did buy a pregnancy test that day, but I tested it, and Im not pregnant.

The Alpha was silent through our bond. If I hadn’t felt his presence in my mind, I would have thought he had severed the connection.

“Not pregnant?” he asked again, as if to confirm.
