Chapter 6

Author: Seren
Leon's POV

Diana looked at him, and there was no pity in her eyes.

She told him everything. About the silver poison Sophia took five years ago. About how his mother forced her to leave the pack. About how Sophia spent every single day of those five years in agonizing pain, just so she could come back to him.

Every word was a knife, stabbing deeper and deeper into Leon's chest.

When he finally understood the truth, Leon laughed.

All along, the stupidest, coldest one was him.

    The Dream He Waited ForLeon's POVLeon fell asleep in the warm afternoon sun.He was in the old armchair by the study window, Sophia's diary open on his lap. The pages were worn soft, the edges curled from years of turning. He'd read every entry a hundred times. Still couldn't stop.The sun slanted through the glass, warm on his face. His eyelids grew heavy. The diary slipped from his fingers and hit the carpet with a soft thud.Then he heard her voice."Leo! You're supposed to be watering the garden!"He snapped his eyes open.She stood under the wisteria trellis, hands on her hips, a wicker hat dangling from her wrist. Blue sundress. Messy ponytail. Sunlight breaking over her shoulders like shattered glass.She was real. She was there."Are you even listening to me?"Leon couldn't speak. His throat closed up. He just stared at her—the way she wrinkled her nose, the way her lips twitched like she was trying not to smile, the way her eyes caught the light and held it.She was beautifu

He'd seen Sophia's deathly pale face. He'd seen how she couldn't even stand without her mother holding her up. He'd seen how she didn't have the strength to drag herself up after she fell.And what did he do?He let his pathetic pride and resentment blind him. He let Shelly shower him with affection and even let her trample on whatever dignity Sophia had left.He was the one who snuffed out the last light Sophia had in this world.Leon let out a howl, raw and animalistic.

    Leon's POVFor some reason, ever since Leon carried Shelly away, his chest felt hollow. A strange dread gnawed at him.Especially whenever he closed his eyes. Sophia's face, lying in that pool of blood, the way she'd looked at him one last time—so much love, so much goodbye, so much emptiness. It haunted him like a nightmare.Even when the healer told him Shelly's baby was fine, he felt nothing. No relief. No joy.After Shelly fell asleep, he paced out of the room, restless, and pulled out his phone. He called Sophia, desperate.Deep down, he knew. With Sophia's body as broken as it was, there was no way she could have pushed Shelly.For the past five years, he'd been grinding through trials to become a worthy Alpha. Shelly had been by his side through all of it. He agreed to bond with her out of gratitude, and because he needed to secure his position as Alpha.But his heart had never left that girl who disappeared five years ago.He'd wrapped himself in ice and distance, terrified tha

    This torment didn't last much longer. The car finally pulled up at the mansion.Leon already had his door open, ready to come around and help me out. But Shelly blocked him."Leon, let me help her. You grab my bag."He paused, then turned back to get it.Shelly came to my door, reaching out like she was going to steady me. The moment I put my weight on her hand, she yanked it away.I pitched forward and hit the gravel hard. Blood instantly bloomed through the fabric at my knees. The pain was blinding.Leon whipped around at the sound. He took a step toward me, his hand already reaching out. But Shelly gasped first."Oh no! Sophia, you're so clumsy. I hadn't even gotten a good grip on you, and you just threw yourself out like that."Leon's hand froze midair. He looked at me on the ground, then at Shelly's innocent face. He pulled his hand back and stood there, cold, watching. He didn't help. Shelly just watched too. I had to drag myself up with my own ruined arms, clawing my way back in

    The next few days, Diana—my best friend—came to see me after hearing I was back. We talked for a long time.She shared all kinds of funny stories from the past five years, but every time her eyes met mine, she couldn't hold back the tears. She didn't blame me for leaving without a word. She understood. She ached for me. I apologized, and she said nothing—just pulled me into a tight hug.Time flew by. And soon, it was the day Leon had said he'd come.He'd said three in the afternoon. I was so nervous that I made my mother wheel me downstairs by one, just to wait.But five o'clock came and went. The sun was starting to dip. They never showed. I even called him—he hung up.The sun was brutal, and my coat was heavy. Sweat from the silver poison soaked through my undershirt. My mother told me to go inside more than once. I refused. This trip had already drained me too much. After today, I probably wouldn't be able to leave the house again.Thankfully, half an hour later, Leon called back a
