Wolfsbane Reached My Bones, I Chose to Leave Chapter 10
"I want to live. I have to."I wanted to live, not to punish anyone and not to wait for anyone to save me, but simply because... I still wanted to see tomorrow's sunrise. I wanted to feel the spring breeze on my cheeks. I wanted to fill my lungs with the air of freedom.The moment the antidote took effect, a burning sensation engulfed me like molten lava. My consciousness blurred in the agony, and only one thought remained: I can't die here.I didn't know how I survived those first hours. Maybe it was survival instinct. Maybe it was fate's mercy. I felt a sudden rush of cold that balanced the searing heat.The relief didn't last. Extreme cold swept over me at blinding speed. I tried to curl up, but my limbs were already too stiff to obey. Snowflakes landed on my eyelashes, on my cheeks, melting into freezing droplets that quickly hardened into ice.I felt as if I had been frozen solid.When awareness returned, pain came with it, as though every bone in my body had been shattered and re

"Ethan, please untie me. My wrists hurt." Madness flickered in his eyes."Hurt?""When you left Jennifer to face all of this alone, did she hurt?""I didn't want this. I was just afraid you'd leave me."Ethan let out a cold laugh."I never knew you were this selfish and cold, Murphy."Ethan gripped Murphy's chin and forced her to meet his eyes.Murphy shrank back, her voice small and frightened."I just wanted to live." To have a good life.The words detonated something inside Ethan. He slapped Murphy across the face."So your survival meant Jennifer had to die?"Murphy's cheek swelled immediately. The stinging pain blazed across her skin like wildfire, burning through what was left of her composure."What right do you have to judge me?" She lunged at Ethan and crashed to the floor with him."You didn't visit her for three years. You accused her of betrayal. You slept with me while wolfsbane tore her apart.""And now you want to play the grieving mate and beg her forgiveness?""Begging

Ethan forced his breathing back into rhythm and crushed every emotion beneath a mask of calm.Maeve let out a long sigh."Jennifer stopped her treatment a long time ago.""No. She couldn't have. Jennifer was seeing Cyril. That's right! She wouldn't leave her new lover."Ethan pulled out the memory crystal, the one showing Cyril kissing Jennifer."This is a crude fake. They swapped the face and the clothes. Cyril's face, but a woman's hands."Ethan stared at the hand stroking Jennifer's forehead in the image. It was small and slender, clearly a woman's.Maeve studied the crystal closely, then murmured a few incantations over it.With a soft crack of fracturing stone, the projected image transformed completely.Where Cyril had been, Maeve now appeared.Ethan's whole body went rigid.He had been wrong about Jennifer from the very beginning.A thought struck him, and he tore through his bag.A torn ticket fell out, most of it covered in blood.He tried to bend down and pick it up, but his

"But we haven't packed anything."Ethan didn't slow down."It's fine. We can buy new things."All Ethan wanted was to escape this place, to escape everything that reminded him of Jennifer.The dealers who had sold Murphy the herbs seemed to know too much and had started blackmailing her. She needed a way to silence them.The doorbell rang.Ethan opened the door. It was Maeve."Ethan, we need to talk.""Sweetheart, Maeve was Jennifer's closest friend.""You can't trust what she says."She tried to take Ethan's hand and lead him away, but Ethan stepped back to avoid her."Head to the airport first, sweetheart. I'll be right behind you."Murphy didn't argue this time. She even thoughtfully closed the door behind them."Ethan, this potion can tell you whether Jennifer is truly dead." Maeve produced a wide-mouthed bottle filled with a dark green liquid."Even when a mate bond is severed, or goes silent because one mate is too weak, it leaves a mark in the blood.""If that mark remains, one

Ethan stared at the box engraved with "Live on for her."His expression was terrifyingly dark.Murphy leaned against the table."Ethan, stop looking at those things.""At least you let Jennifer go to find her own happiness."Murphy closed the lid of the box."Let's think about our next trip."Ethan said nothing.A strange discomfort was building in his chest, growing stronger.Pain followed, along with the feeling that his heart was trying to pound its way out of his chest."Is Jennifer tricking me again?" Ethan looked at Murphy.A flash of panic crossed her eyes.He tried to contact the private jet crew to ask about Jennifer's condition.All he received was a single message:[Severe ionospheric interference has disrupted the flight crew's radio. Please wait for communications to resume.]Then the mate bond between him and Jennifer vanished.Was Jennifer too weak for him to sense her anymore?Or had she found a new way to deceive him?"Jennifer was in great shape last time."Hearing Mu

The antidote swept through my body like a tide, carrying every trace of illness with it. I had never felt so light.At the same time, I knew my life had entered its final countdown. Knowing the exact hour of my death brought a peace I had never felt before.I no longer suffered or raged. I no longer asked why fate had been so cruel.If I had one small regret, it was that I wanted to see Ethan one more time.We had loved each other once. On countless nights, we had laid ourselves bare, exchanging our most hidden vulnerabilities. Then all those burning promises turned to ash.A familiar engine growled outside, followed by familiar footsteps.I knew who it was: Ethan.Joy burst through me. The Moon Goddess had heard my prayer and let me see the person I had once loved before I died.Ethan's steps were heavy and hurried.He shoved open my door. He looked at my smiling, rosy face, and his first reaction wasn't relief.He seized my wrist, rage blazing in his eyes."Jennifer! You've been lyin
