Vivian’s POV

“What had just happened?”

“Were you in this room all this while?” Damian asked, his mouth hanging open in shock, his eyes still glazed from the effects of the poison.

I stared at him momentarily, watching the confusion swirl in his mind as a subtle smile curled at the corner of my lips. Slowly, I brought my hands together and gave him a mocking applause.

Damian blinked, visibly confused.

“Vivian, what happened to me?” He muttered.

Without saying a word, I turned and walked away, leaving him there in the pool of his hallucination and confusion, heading straight to my room.

I slammed the door shut behind me and leaned against it, breathing heavily for a second.

Then I rushed to my desk and grabbed the antidote I had hidden in the top drawer. I popped the cork off and emptied the bitter-green liquid down my throat.

The bitterness hit me like a slap. I gagged and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand.

“Ugh... disgusting,” I muttered, sticking out my tongue.

  • Sold To My Second-Chance Mate   Chapter Seventy-Seven

    Vivian’s POVWith a few strides, I headed towards the dungeon.The gammas outside were already feeding wood to the furnace, preparing for the poor omega’s death as black smoke curled toward the sky.Soon, it would roar hot enough to burn a body whole.The gammas greeted me but I ignored their greetings and walked past them, entering inside the dungeon.Immediately I stepped into the dungeon, the heavy stench from the dungeon hit me first, and then a chilling cold enough to make one’s bone ache clung to my skin. I wrapped my shawl tighter, but the chill still crawled up my spine.I should have felt pity for Mabel. She was down here, crying her eyes out for something she didn’t do.But pity is for the weak.And I have no space in my heart for weakness.Having the Blackwood Pack all to myself was the only thing that presently mattered to me.Mabel sat at the corner, chained, her back slouched. Her eyes were red and swollen—so puffy it looked like she hadn’t blinked in hours. Her lips t

  • Sold To My Second-Chance Mate   Chapter Seventy-Six

    Damian’s POVI sat still, surrounded by the Elders. Their eyes were fixed on me like hunters sizing up wounded prey. The room was quiet except for the sound of my heavy breathing. We were waiting for the omega sent to fetch the Alpha’s Chalice—but clearly, the Elders had other things on their minds.I could feel their thoughts digging into my skin. They wanted answers. They weren’t saying it yet, but I knew they would.And almost immediately, Elder Sefu broke the silence first.“Damian,” he began, his tone cold, “We honestly want to know what’s going on with you.”I turned my head slowly to him, my jaw already clenched.“Many of the pack’s pressing matters brought to your desk are still untouched,” he continued. “Yet all you do is speak to people that don't exist and scream names that are invisible…”He narrowed his eyes on me. “You keep calling for Lena even though she’s long gone. You were the one who rejected and discarded her.“You disturb the pack with your shouting, acting l

    Vivian’s PovThe maid was shivering in fear. Her small hands clutched the silver chalice like it might save her from drowning. Her lips were dry, and I could see the panic all over her pale face.Her eyes darted between my face and the Silver cup.“Please.Luna..”“It's urgent, I have to deliver it to them..” she pleaded, her voice laced with utter fear. “You’re not taking that chalice anywhere.”My tone was sharp and commanding.She flinched. “B-but Luna, if I don’t bring it to them… they’ll punish me. Elder Mayaki said it’s important. Please—”“Calm down,” I said, lowering my voice a little. “No one is punishing you.”She blinked fast, unsure whether to believe me.“You’ll do exactly as I say, understood?” I added, my eyes narrowing. “We’re going back to the vault. Where did you get it from? I’ll handle the rest.”“But… Luna—”“Don’t test me,” I said sharply. “Just walk.”She nodded quickly and followed behind me, clutching the chalice like her life depended on it.“Good, Now let's

    Lena's PovYou don't remember us, Luna!” “Even me?” one of the men asked, kneeling. I gasped in shock. Judging by the tone of their voices and their genuine facial expressions, it dawned on me that these people were not trying to mock or bully me but meant what they were saying.I looked at the one kneeling before me long and hard trying to see if I could recognize his face, but I couldn't just like the rest of the men in the room. My fear exploded. “Has she agreed already, let's proceed?” A voice cut in through the door. My heart skipped a beat but as I looked up and saw Elias at the door, a sudden surge of relief crept through my bones. It felt too good to realize that I could recognize someone in this room. “Where am I ?” I asked him, my voice was hollow and devoid of warmth. Beside him was Jax, and their faces were both filled with happiness. “Where am I?” I asked again curiously, trying to hide the fear inside of me. “You are still in our territory..” “The Blacksword terr

    Damian’s POVThe ride home was dead quiet. No one said a word—not even Rainer, who was usually the chatty one.I didn’t have the energy to talk. Not after the way these rogues had dismissed us as though we meant nothing to them.But of course, my beta broke the silence.“Do you think they’ll call us back?” he asked cautiously, his gaze fixated on me.“Something just felt off… like we weren’t welcome.” he continued.“I don’t care if they call,” I muttered. “If Kyler doesn’t return Lena to me, I will break the Shadowfang pack myself and get her..”“And this time, he won't escape my wrath..”Beta nodded once, then fell silent again.“I just hope they call us back…” he mumbled, almost to himself.After that, nothing more was said.By the time we arrived home, it was late midnight and we must have spent almost two days on the dusty roads and thick forests.And we were all starving and drained.The guards opened the gates without a word. They could tell by the look on my face that this was
