Semua Bab Fake Vow, True Luna: Bab 381 - Bab 390

Olivia“Did you miss me, Olivia?”Jenifer’s voice cut through the darkness. I felt as if I was stuck in a nightmare as I took in her white nightgown, her pale skin, her long black hair. But it was real; she was standing right in front of me, in the flesh, alive and well.“J-Jenifer?” I stammered, my voice trembling as I took in the figure standing in front of me in the dimly lit room. My heart raced as I tried to make sense of the impossible. Jenifer couldn’t be here; she was supposed to be locked away in that asylum.But then it came back to me. Jenifer… She had escaped from the asylum months ago. No one could find her, and we just assumed that she had run off, maybe found a home in another pack.And instead, she was right here all along. Suddenly, all of my dreams, my bad feelings, the night that I saw a woman with long black hair in ‘Edward’s’ room. All of it made sense. All of it.Jenifer smirked, her eyes glinting with malevolence. “I take it you’re surprised to see me, Olivia,”

NathanI wasn’t sure exactly how long Steel and I spent in that endless void, trying desperately to find a memory that would break me out of the coma.But no matter how hard I tried, nothing seemed to work—and I could feel my body growing weaker with every memory. I was draining myself of my own life force just by attempting to break free, and yet I couldn’t stop. Not when Olivia needed me. I knew that I would rather die trying than to allow her to perish at Jenifer’s hands.At one point, after a particularly exhausting memory involving my first day of eighth grade with Olivia, I fell to my knees with a groan.“Steel,” I murmured, my own voice sounding strained and hollow to my ears, “I just don’t understand. These memories... they should be enough. But nothing is changing. Am I trapped here forever?”My wolf let out a sound that sounded like a sigh and padded over to me in the void, nuzzling against me. The action gave me some strength, as if his touch was enough to give me a second

NathanI was still trapped in the void, surrounded by nothing but an endless black abyss and the sound of the monitors hooked up to my sleeping body. Somehow, I had managed to work my way through dozens of other memories, but none of them seemed to work.“I can’t go on for much longer,” I said to Steel, who was still by my side, a silent observer to these visions. “I can’t, Steel. It’s too much. I can feel myself getting weaker.”Steel said nothing. We both looked over at my hospital bed, which was now surrounded by three nurses. I could hear their worried voices, could see the concerned looks in their eyes.“I hope our Alpha wakes up,” one of the nurses said as she checked my blood pressure. “His blood pressure is dropping. I’m getting worried.”Another nurse shook her head. “There’s not much more that we can do. He’s simply… fading.”“Come on, guys!” Angela, looking more exhausted yet more determined than ever, said. “We can’t give up on him! Let’s ask the doctor to run another test

NathanWhen the memory finally ended, I fell to my knees, breathless and confused. The scene around me faded back into nothingness, the visage of my father’s stony face in the rainy night dissolving into the void.“What just happened?” I asked once I caught my breath, my voice trembling as I looked over at my wolf. “What was that? That couldn’t have been real. I… I don’t remember that.”Steel’s voice echoed in the void, calm and steady despite the turmoil blossoming in my chest. “Those memories were real, Nathan. You repressed them for years, and now you’re finally facing the truth.”I felt a knot tighten in my chest as I pondered my wolf’s words. If it was true that I had forgotten the events leading up to Olivia and Kamran’s eviction, then did that mean that my wolf had been hiding it from me all this time?One look at his face told me all I needed to know.“You knew,” I whispered.Steel nodded, and that was when my anger began to bloom.“Why didn’t you show me that memory before?”

OliviaMy eyes met those deep, red orbs from the crack between the crates, and it was at that moment that I knew.It was Alvin.But what was he doing here? And what were his motives?The last time I had seen Alvin, he was working with Ryan and the Redclaws. He had developed the ability to create fire in his palm with the snap of a finger, and he was out for vengeance. I didn’t know if vengeance was what led him here just now, or if it was something else.But either way, no matter how badly I wanted to find out, I was trapped. Jenifer’s knee was pushing into my spine, crushing me. Not only was I terrified to move because of the cold silver knife pressed to the soft skin of my neck, but I was also afraid that if I made one wrong move, she’d harm my unborn baby.The situation was already precarious enough as it was, being pinned to the floor with a hard knee pressing into my back. There was no telling what exactly she would do if I tried to struggle or speak.There was a long, tense sile
