Chapter 231: Just a Pawn

(Sophia Rivers‘ POV)

My eardrum throbbed with excruciating pain, the damaged tissue sending waves of agony through my skull. The pack enforcement detention had left me with a detached and necrotic eardrum, but I refused the surgery they kept pushing on me.

I needed to stay alert. I needed to find a way to escape.

But as I lay here in this sterile Recovery Ward, staring at Marcus’s cold golden eyes, the truth crashed over me like a tidal wave. It wasn’t those damned she–wolves who had caused my misery.

It was him. The Alpha who had once shown me such favor, such protection.

I had always known Marcus hated me now, but some foolish part of me believed he still harbored a trace of pity for a former pack member. How ridiculous that hope seemed now.

“You orchestrated all of this,” I whispered, my voice barely audible through my damaged hearing. “You let them hurt me in detention.”

Marcus’s expression remained impassive. No denial. No explanation.

Just that terrible, calculating silence.

The realization hit me like a physical blow. Every moment of suffering, every degradation I’d endured – he had allowed it all to happen. Perhaps even arranged it.

Tears streamed down my cheeks as intense hatred welled up in my eyes. My hand found the heavy medical instrument on the bedside table – a metal tray used for surgical tools.

With all my remaining strength, I hurled it at him.

“You bastard!” I screamed.

Marcus raised his hand to block, his arm taking the blow with barely a flinch. The metal clattered to the floor with a sharp ring.

Elena moved to step forward, but the pack nurse and doctor immediately restrained me, their hands gripping my shoulders as I struggled against them.

A ferocious smile spread across my face as the truth poured out of me like poison.
