It felt like the ground had been ripped out from under me. Myngs refused to draw in air as her words echoed in my mind, sharp and unrelenting like shards of glass.

Maria reached out, as if to steady me, but I took a step back, shaking my head. “No,” I whispered, my voice hoarse, trembling under the weight of disbelief. “He wouldn’t–he couldn’t have meant that.”

But the look on her face told me she believed otherwise.

My wolf stirred inside me, a low, agonized growl escaping from deep within. It wasn’t anger–it was pain. Grayson’s words, delivered through Maria, felt like a rejection that cut deeper than any wound I’d ever endured. I took another shaky step backward, my head shaking harder now as if sheer denial could make this nightmare unravel.

He didn’t mean that.

I didn’t do this.

This was just… a misunderstanding.

Suddenly, it felt as though the entire world had frozen. Conversations hushed, and every gaze was heavy with pity, their eyes searing into me. The walls seemed to close in, suffocating me with the weight of judgment.

It was all too much. The stares. The whispers. The words.

I turned, desperately searching for something–or someone–familiar, and my eyes landed on Isabella. She stood there, her gaze soft yet piercing, filled with that glaring pity I despised.

I swallowed hard, forcing words out before she could speak. “Everything is going to be fine. He didn’t mean it. Please, just go home. I’ll call you tomorrow.”

“Lilian.”

I didn’t even realize I was crying until my hand instinctively reached up to wipe at my face. “I’ll call you tomorrow, Bels.”

I didn’t wait for her reply. I turned on my heel, ignoring the heavy silence that followed me, and made my way back to the mansion. My feet carried me to his room like they were on autopilot.

The second I entered, the faint scent of him hit me–warm and comforting. It lingered on everything. I picked up a pillow from his bed, the scent clinging to the fabric, and hugged it tightly to my chest. My knees buckled, but I forced myself to sit down instead of collapsing entirely.
