Chapter 203:
“I was checking the oxygen tanks outside the door,” Betty continued, her eyes wide with the burden of the truth. “I heard her. Kira leaned over the bed and whispered to your grandmother. She said you were a wolfless Omega, and that your womb was as barren and useless as your wolf p>
A cold, paralyzing shock swept through my veins.
“She told her the Lycan King would soon discard his broken toy,” Betty choked out, tears of anger welling in her eyes. “And then… when the monitor flatlined, Kira didn’t scream right away. She stepped back. And she smiled p>
The words shattered the paralyzing grief in my chest.

The information gap Kira had so carefully constructed was obliterated. My grandmother wasn’t dying of old age. She had been murdered with weaponized cruelty.
The sorrow suffocating me instantly crystallized into a dark, freezing fury. My dormant wild rose scent lost all its warmth, turning into the biting, absolute ice of a winter forest. The White Wolf blood in my veins, buried under years of abuse, finally awoke with a lethal, unyielding clarity.
I slowly lifted my head, my eyes locking onto Kira across the room. She was dabbing her dry eyes with a tissue, playing the victim with practiced ease.
I will not just hunt you, Kira, a cold, ancient voice whispered in the darkest hollows of my mind. I will erase you.
Adelina POV
I will not just hunt you, Kira.
The words settled in the darkest hollows of my mind like a vow carved in ice.
Across the fluorescent-lit Common Room, Kira dabbed her dry eyes with a tissue, leaning heavily against my mother. “I need to go home, Mom,” Kira whimpered, her voice trembling loudly enough for the remaining nurses to hear. “I can’t bear to see the Sanctum like this. Jase is waiting for me at the estate p>
Carolyn quickly wrapped an arm around her golden child and ushered her out the door, fleeing the scene of their crime.
The moment the heavy doors swung shut behind them, the paralyzing grief in my chest crystallized into absolute, freezing ice.
Kain stepped up behind me. His ancient cedar scent was thick with the crackling ozone of a violent storm. Through our fragile mate-bond, he felt the lethal shift in my soul.
“I will level their estate to the ground,” Kain rumbled, his storm-gray eyes bleeding into a molten, bloodthirsty gold. His Inner Wolf was roaring, demanding to tear the Parrish family apart for my agony.
“No,” I said, my voice eerily calm. I turned to face the Lycan King. “I am not going back to the den, Kain. I am going to the Parrish estate. But this is my bloodline. My justice p>
Kain’s jaw clenched, his massive frame rigid as he fought the primal urge to slaughter my enemies himself.
“I need you here,” I continued, stepping closer and looking up into his burning eyes. “She isn’t dead yet. Guard my grandmother. Do not let anyone near that room p>
Kain stared down at me. The feral gold in his eyes slowly receded, replaced by a profound, burning respect for the Luna standing before him. He gave a single, sharp nod. His eyes glazed over for a fraction of a second as he opened a mind-link.
