Chapter 150: Confrontations and Revelations

(Sophia Rivers’s POV)

I stood in the Moonstone Stairwell, blocking Elena’s path with deliberate provocation. My lips curved into a cold smile as I watched her approach.

“Surprised to see me back so soon?” I asked, my voice dripping with false sweetness.

Elena barely glanced at me. “Congratulations.”

She tried to walk past me, but I stepped sideways to block her again. The indifference in her eyes only fueled

my anger.

“You think Marcus completely banished me from the pack?” I laughed bitterly. “He still harbors old feelings for me. This punishment was just to give you an explanation about the Blackthorne family matters.”

I searched her face desperately, hoping to see pain that would ease my own suffering. But Elena’s expression

remained unmoved.

“I don’t care whether Marcus is reluctant to act against you,” she replied coolly. “What matters is my own willingness to do so.”

Her words hit me like ice water. I had expected jealousy, anger, anything but this calm dismissal.

Before I could respond, Elena suddenly grabbed my right hand. Due to my previous injuries causing muscle weakness, I couldn’t pull away.

“What are you doing?” I demanded, panic rising in my throat.

Elena’s fingers traced the red mole on my wrist. “Has this been here since childhood?”

“Yes,” I snapped, confused by the strange question. “I never bothered removing it since others don’t pay

attention to it.”

Elena released my hand, and I yanked it back angrily. My wrist throbbed where she had touched it.

“Aren’t you curious how I knew about the mole?” Elena asked cryptically. “You’ve met your biological parents

but failed to recognize them.”

I stared at her, my mind reeling. “What are you talking about?”

“Don’t regret your past actions,” Elena warned before walking away.

I watched her retreating figure with a dark expression. Biological parents? The thought was irrelevant since they had abandoned me anyway.
