The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Rose Lily

Sara woke up with a sudden jolt, her heart racing, her chest tight. A scream almost tore from her throat as the images of her dream still clung to her eyes, almost swallowing her whole. For a moment, she thought she was still trapped inside it.

But before the scream could escape, arms wrapped around her. Warm. Soft. Gentle. A voice whispered close to her ear, "It’s alright, my child... everything is fine..."

Her breathing slowed just a little, but her body still shook. She blinked, and only then she realized she was lying on her bed, covered with blankets. The embrace was real. The voice was her mother’s. She was safe.

Or was she?

Sara clutched the hand that held her, clung to it like it was the only thing keeping her alive. Her tears spilled without warning. "Mom..." she whispered, her voice breaking.

Her mother held her tighter, rubbing her back softly. "Hush now, everything is fine. Don’t cry. You’re safe."

But when Sara slowly looked up at her, she saw something in her mother’s eyes that made her chest hurt even more.

Her lips trembled. "Mom... where is Selene?"

The room grew so quiet she could hear her own heartbeat. Her mother’s expression froze. Then slowly, painfully, her eyes turned sad, filling with tears she could not hide.

Sara’s body went cold. The answer she feared was already written on her mother’s face.

"No..." Sara shook her head, her voice rising. "No, please don’t... don’t say it..."

But her mother did not speak. She only pulled Sara back into her arms, holding her so tightly as if trying to shield her from the truth.

And that silence was louder than any words.

Sara broke. A loud, aching cry escaped her, the kind that tore at the throat. Her leg throbbed with pain as she curled into her mother, but she didn’t care. The dream... it wasn’t just a dream. It was real. Selene had really gone through all of it. She had suffered. She had faced it alone.
