I Walked Away After He Slapped Me in Public Chapter 10
Not long after that, Lilith left Ironhold Academy. I heard she and Orion had also broken up.Orion changed. He started appearing in my sight without a word. In the early morning, warm meat broth would be waiting on the ledge beside the training ground. He stayed at the edge of the field during practice, not close, but not far either. After training, his footsteps followed me down the forest path.“What do you want?” I finally stopped him at the bend of the trail.The evening light fell through the trees, making his thin face look even darker.“I just want to give back what you gave me.”“I do not need it. Staying away from me is the only repayment I want.”I told no one about my decision to leave Ironhold Academy. On my last training day, I shared a simple meal of roasted meat with a few close teammates.Orion was the last to find out I was going to a Pack in the north. On the day I left, he followed my car for a long time. The forest road curved and turned, and his figure kept appeari

Orion’s blood was still dripping onto the floor.I remembered when we were children and someone bullied me. Orion beat that person until he could not get up. On the way home, he swung his bruised wrist and told me my crying face was ugly. But he hid the blood on his sleeve behind his back.Later, that person brought others to get revenge. They pushed Orion from a high place. When I found him, he was sitting in a pile of broken stone, clumsily hiding his wound behind his back. “Stop crying. It does not hurt.”That night, I searched half the territory to gather a jar of herbal ointment. When I pulled up his sleeve the next day, his ears turned dark red, but he still sat still and let me spread the medicine over every layer of his wound.Then Lilith came.One day she walked past me and tripped over my training bag. The ointment spilled everywhere. She crouched down to pick it up, her eyes turning red in an instant.“I am so sorry. I did not mean to.” She handed the jar back to me, her fin

That day’s training ended with my teammates taking me home. My mother saw the bruise on my knee and insisted on taking me to the healer’s house. We went to the nearest one in the evening.The waiting area was almost empty. Only one person sat in the corner.“Sylvie?”Ronan Ashby looked up. His eyes caught the dim light and seemed too bright. His knee was wrapped in thick bandages, with dark blood already seeping through to the outer layer.“What happened to you?” I frowned.He glanced down at his leg and smiled. “Nothing. Just a training injury.”A healer’s assistant passed by with a cart of supplies. I heard her mutter under her breath, “His kneecap was showing, and he says it is nothing.”Ronan’s ears turned red. He quickly changed the subject. “You look pale. Are you hurt too?” He reached into his coat and pulled out a small packet of ointment. “Here. I heard this is the kind you use.”I tried to refuse, but he had already pressed it into my hand.We kept running into each other at

One day after training, Orion blocked my way outside the storage room. His clothes carried the smell of Lilith’s herbal ointment. His face was hard to read.“Sylvie,” he said, his voice rough. “Let us get back together.”I gave a cold laugh and did not answer.He stepped toward me and grabbed my wrist. “I know you are upset. But Lilith is weak. She just transferred here. She cannot keep up with training. Can I just ignore her? You are stronger than her. What is wrong with letting her have this?”“You are stronger than her. Let her have this.” I had heard those words so many times. Every time, he was speaking for Lilith. Every time, he was asking me to give way.“So the slap,” I said, looking at him. “That was because I am stronger too?”Orion’s face went stiff. “I was wrong about that. But I already apologized.”I looked at him. His brows were tight. His eyes were full of frustration and self pity, like he was the one who had been wronged. Like his apology meant I should forget everyth

Word spread through Ironhold Academy quickly. Orion and Lilith were officially together.As I came out of the training room, I saw Lilith on her toes, fixing the fur trim on Orion’s collar.“Orion,” she said in a sweet voice, “shall we go to the border tonight to celebrate?”Orion’s eyes moved past her shoulder and met mine. He tried to step back, but Lilith gently held onto his sleeve. She turned to look where he was looking and gave me a small, timid smile, like she was afraid I might be angry.I said nothing. I turned and walked away. In the resting area, a few teammates were whispering.“I heard Lilith came out of Orion’s car this morning.”“How is Sylvie taking it?”I closed my storage chest and did not listen to the rest.After training that day, I sat by the window at home and talked to my mother. She was sorting dried herbs. She cut a stem and looked up at me.“I have seen plenty of her kind,” she said. “Stay away from her.”“It is not right to talk behind someone’s back.” Orio

The sound of me slamming the door made the lamps in the hallway flicker.I ran into my room and pulled out everything that carried Orion’s mark. The ceremonial claw ornament he gave me from the top shelf of the training rack. The outer cloak he left in the back of my wardrobe. The faded gathering tokens from the drawer. I shoved them all into a wooden chest.A jar fell from the shelf and shattered on the floor. Orion had given it to me on my sixteenth birthday. Inside were protective charms he had carved my name into, each one strung on sinew.I stared at the broken pieces on the ground. I picked up the chest, walked to the border of our territory, and threw the whole thing into the wild.After that, I reached out to my mother through Pack link.“Mother,” I said, “My engagement to Orion is over. We are done.”When my mother returned to our house, she found me pressing a cold herbal compress to my face. She took one look at me, and her hands started shaking. “Who hurt you?”I buried my
