Chapter 141

LESSIETrying to exist on campus again felt like forcing a body into clothes that no longer fit.Everything was familiar in the wrong way. The stone paths. The lecture halls. The smell of coffee drifting from the café near the library. All of it looked the same, but I wasn’t. And everyone knew it.People stared like I was a story unfolding in real time. Like my pain was entertainment. I kept my head down as Ethan pushed my wheelchair across the quad. My leg ached from earlier therapy, a deep, gnawing pain that felt like my bones were arguing with my will.“Don’t look at them,” Ethan murmured. “They’re not worth it.”“I’m trying,” I said, but my voice shook.It was impossible not to feel them. Their eyes followed me everywhere. When I passed groups of students, conversations dipped, then resumed louder once I was far enough away.“She’s really milking it.” “That’s her. The one who ruined the professor.” “Guess sleeping your way up didn’t end well.”I pretended I didn’t hear.I was get

LESSIEI held the document so tightly my fingers went numb.The paper was creased from being folded too many times. The ink was smudged at the edges, like whoever handled it before me had sweaty hands. I read it again. And again. And again. Every line felt unreal. Every sentence felt like it was mocking the hell I had lived through for weeks.This was it.This was proof I need to change my entire life.My chest hurt as I shoved it into my bag and wheeled myself back to the dorm. The hallway was quiet, but I still felt watched. I always felt watched now. I locked the door behind me and leaned my forehead against the wood, breathing hard like I had just run miles.My hands were shaking when I called Ethan.He picked up immediately.“Lessie,” he said. “Are you okay.”“I have it,” I said.There was silence.“You have what.”“The proof,” I whispered. “Everything. About the scholarship. About Dante. About Augustine. About Celeste. All of it.”I heard him suck in a breath.“Where are you.”“

LESSIEI didn’t even notice the sun had set. The room was dark except for the faint green glow from the healer’s instruments and the weak flicker of the bedside lamp. Kieran lay there, unconscious, his body riddled with injuries that should have killed him a dozen times over. My hands clenched the edge of the bed as tears spilled over my cheeks. Dante sat in the corner, his jaw tight while his hands balled into fists. Neither of us spoke, because words wouldn’t fix this. Nothing would.The pack healer spoke finally. “He will not survive without extraordinary measures,” she said. “We need a power that is forbidden.”I froze. My heart thudded in my chest. “Forbidden?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “You mean… if we do this, we could destroy everything Dante has worked for. Everything we’ve fought for…”“Yes,” she said simply. No hesitation. “It’s your choice. Save him and risk everything. Or do nothing and let him die.”I swallowed, feeling bile rise in my throat. My legs sh

Chapter 144

DANTEI sat alone in my apartment, staring at the ceiling with my hands trembling. The cold December morning was perfect but to me it wasn't. My chest felt tight, my lungs clogged with thoughts I couldn’t untangle. Everything I built, every plan, every strategy I executed, and for what? For her. Lessie.I’ve spent years hiding her. Keeping her at arm’s length from the world. Protecting her. Protecting us. And for what? For reputation. For control. For some illusion that I could live without showing my heart. And now I just couldn’t. I reach for the resignation letter, crumpled it, smooth it out, crumpled it again. My hand shook when I wrote “Crescent Falls University” at the top. I couldn’t even call it work anymore—it’s life. It’s letting go. Letting go of everything I built to finally give myself the one thing I’ve wanted since the moment I found her: to love her openly, without fear, without hiding.I rubbed my face, feeling the ache deep in my jaw, in my chest. My fingers tremble
