Chapter Fifty Seven: The Unseen Pain

작가: Dew's Quill
last update 최신 업데이트: 2025-06-08 08:18:45
The moon hung crooked in the sky, its pale light fractured by passing clouds, casting long shadows across the chamber walls. Somewhere in the distance, a wolf howled—a low, grieving sound swallowed by the silence that clung to the packhouse like mold.

Elara’s eyes were closed, but she wasn’t sleeping.

Not really.

Not deeply.

Her breath came slow, too slow. As if her body didn’t trust rest, didn’t believe she deserved it.

The bedsheets were tangled around her legs, damp with sweat despite the chill in the room. Her brow furrowed, lashes fluttering as the ghosts of memory pulled at her mind. There was no peace in the dark. Only pieces. Pieces of pain. Pieces of sound.

She saw the flash of white—hospital walls. A tray clattering to the floor. The echo of her own voice screaming, “Get them out!”

Her fingers twitched. Her jaw clenched.

Somewhere between sleep and waking, Elara was back there.

Back in that room.

Back in that moment.

Back inside her own breaking body, to

  • The Alpha Prince's Forbidden Scent    Chapter Sixty-Two: Trial Of The Unheard

    (Elara's POV) I reached down, fingers trembling, I wanted to confirm… and I did. Warmth. Wet. I lifted my hand. Blood. Fresh. Bright. Spreading. My white dress—chosen so carefully, so quietly, to look soft, pure, to make the council see me as something other than tainted—was ruined. The scarlet stain bled through the front like an accusation, like a warning, like a curse. I had wanted to look like the innocent one. Now I just looked... broken. I clutched my belly, breath shallow, hands slick, too afraid to move, too afraid to not move. And Clara… She stood there. Looking right at me like she saw nothing. “Oh dear,” she said with mock sympathy, her voice syrupy and cold. “So sorry, but your trial’s been rescheduled.” My ears rang. What? She stepped closer, smiling like she’d just won a game. “It’s this morning, not tomorrow. I do hope you’re prepared… because after this trial, you might actually want to run.” She grabbed my arm. I didn’t resist. I couldn’t. I couldn’t

  • The Alpha Prince's Forbidden Scent    Chapter Sixty-One: When The Moon Forgets Its Daughter.

    (Elara's POV)The forest was humming.Not with wind. Not with birdsong. But with something older—a pulse beneath the earth, like a second heartbeat I’d forgotten how to hear.I was barefoot, dressed in white. The trees whispered as I passed them, their leaves shifting like murmuring mouths. The moon above was swollen, crimson, watching me.“Come home,” a voice said.I turned.She was standing just beyond the fog. My wolf.She looked like me—but wilder. Taller. Hair darker. Eyes like a starless sky.Her bare feet didn’t stir the ground. Her long fingers curled and uncurled by her sides as if she didn’t know what to do with them. And yet… there was power in the way she stood.She took a step forward.“I waited,” she said.Another step. Her voice echoed inside my bones, not my ears.“I called. You gave them your silence.”“I had no choice,” I whispered, heart thudding.“You did,” she replied. “You gave me away for them.”She reached out her hand.And I, trembling, reached back.The momen

  • The Alpha Prince's Forbidden Scent    Chapter Sixty: The Garden Of The Forsaken.

    (Elara's POV)Kaelen dropped me near the entrance.Not close enough to stir questions, not far enough to be unkind. Just enough space to make me walk those last few steps alone.The gravel was sharp beneath my feet, biting into my soles, but I didn’t flinch. I’d already walked on worse.The pack house loomed in the dusk, windows lit like eyes watching my return. Every brick in the wall remembered what I was meant to be. Every crack whispered what I’d become.The wind shifted.And then came him.Damon.He stepped out from the shadow of the columns like rot surfacing beneath clean water. Same expensive coat. Same crooked smile. The kind that used to make girls blush. The kind that now made my skin crawl.“Look who decided to crawl home,” he said, voice soaked in contempt. “You look like a damn rogue, Elara. Barefoot and filthy. Is this how low you’ve fallen?”I didn’t stop walking. Just angled my body to the side, avoiding his touch, his shadow.“I want to stay at the greenhouse,” I sai

  • The Alpha Prince's Forbidden Scent    Chapter Fifty Nine: Ache Where the Light Touches

    (Elara's POV)His arms were around me, strong and shaking, pulling me back from the edge like his soul had bled to reach mine.I don’t know how long I sobbed. Long enough to empty my lungs. Long enough for the world to tilt and spin and still leave me kneeling in the hollow of myself. But Kaelen never let go. Not once.I could feel his heartbeat through the fabric of his shirt, steady and unyielding, like a drum refusing to give in to silence. His chin rested on the crown of my head, breath trembling against my scalp, arms trembling with the weight of holding me together."I can’t do it anymore," I whispered into his chest, my voice barely human."You don’t have to," he whispered back, burying his face in my hair. "You don’t have to do it alone."But I was alone, wasn’t I?Even in his arms, even as I trembled against the warmth of him, the grief was louder.The wind moved through the trees, rustling branches like bones cracking against the silence, but it was the stillness between us

  • The Alpha Prince's Forbidden Scent    Chapter Fifty Eight: If the Wind Could Answer

    (Elara's POV)There are no words heavy enough to carry what I’m feeling.There’s no breath light enough to keep me from drowning.I don’t remember deciding to leave the court.I don’t remember the guards letting me pass, or if they even tried to stop me.I just remember my legs moving—wooden, numb, determined—and the trees opening around me like they knew I needed hiding.The forest has always been a place where things go to be forgotten.Wolves. Secrets. The last pieces of yourself you’re too ashamed to keep.Maybe that’s why I came.I walked until the thorns no longer bit, until my feet didn’t sting from the earth. I walked past the roots that wanted to trip me, past the judging branches, past the last place where anyone would think to look.And then I stopped.I stood in a clearing ringed with stillness. The wind was too quiet. The sky too clean. No birdsong. No voices. No eyes.Just me.Just me and the weight in my belly that felt like it might split me in two, not from the babies
