Semua Bab PUCKING MY EX BOYFRIEND RIVAL FOR REVENGE: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Tanya's POVWe made it back to the edge of campus after midnight. The maintenance gate site was cleared behind us. The air felt lighter now. What we found still weighed heavily on my mind. That torn page with my name and the crimson wolf sketch kept flashing in my head. Ginna is not just marking spots anymore. She is getting ready to use my bloodline as the piece of her ritual stays broken.Gideon walked beside me, his hand linked with mine. The tether still gives us trouble, making his steps hitch sometimes. Every time it happens, I stay close to him. My shoulder brushes his, and my fingers tighten around his. The bond between us responds, warm and steady, pushing back against the damage. I learned that social bonds can heal. Now I am living it.The team gathered in a spot behind the library. It is the spot Gideon and I used after I first got Max's folder. It feels right, private enough to talk without people overhearing. Liam and Seraphine stood together checking their ward supplies

Tanya's POVThe east perimeter site looked different in the fading light. The old fence sagged in places, and the ground near the trees was already marked with fresh symbols, messier than the ones at the maintenance gate, like Ginna had rushed through them without caring who saw. We moved in quietly, the same formation as before. Liam and Seraphine took the flanks again. Elias stayed back with his tablet, calling out readings in a low voice. Max covered the rear, and Gideon walked right beside me in the center, his hand brushing mine every few steps.The tether still gave that occasional sharp pull on him. I felt it through the bond every time his breathing changed. But I stayed close, the way we’d been doing since the ridge. My presence helped loosen it. The research had been right all along: social bonds heal. I wasn’t just repeating the words anymore. I was using them.“These marks look worse than the last ones,” I said quietly as we reached the first cluster of symbols. “She’s not

Tanya's POVWe did not go back to the dorms after we finished with the east perimeter site. The team needed some time to talk without everyone on campus watching us, so we met again in the greenhouse clearing. The air was cooler now. The connection between Gideon and me felt like the one thing that was still steady. Every step the tether pulled at him, but I stayed close, holding his hand and letting our connection flow warm and steady between us. The research was right. Being around people we care about helps us heal. My being there was actually making him feel better. I could feel it working every time he breathed a little easier.Gideon kept holding my hand when we got to the clearing. He looked tired. The gold in his eyes was calmer than it was before. The tether was still there. It was damaged from the fight on the ridge and all the other sites we had been to, but it was not controlling him anymore. Not as long as I was there with him.We sat down in a circle as we did before. Li

TANYA'S POVWe hit the first site a little after eight, before the light was fully gone, because Elias wanted readings while there was still enough daylight to see the marks clearly before we started disrupting them.It was a stretch of woods behind the athletics storage building, somewhere I'd walked past a hundred times without ever once thinking about what might be carved into the ground past the tree line. The marks here were smaller than the ones at the maintenance gate, tighter and more controlled. Like Ginna had had time or more care. And this was the read Elias gave us before we even got close. Less power left to spend, so she'd had to be precise instead of generous."She's rationing," Elias said, crouched at the edge of the mark with his tablet angled to catch the failing light. "Compare this to the east perimeter site. That one was sloppy because she had energy to burn and not time to be careful. This is the problem. She's got time but not energy. Every mark has to count."G

TANYA'S POVThey held Ginna in the pack's administrative building overnight, in a room Liam told me was usually used for disciplinary hearings rather than anything resembling a cell. By morning, word had already moved through the senior pack ranks the way word always moved through them quietly, efficiently, with none of the campus rumor-mill chaos that had followed the "rogue incident" cover story two weeks earlier.Gideon and I sat in on the preliminary inquiry, not as participants, Liam had been firm about that, but as witnesses, seated against the far wall while two pack investigators I didn't recognize took Ginna through a formal accounting of what she'd done. The tether was gone. I'd checked it through the bond a dozen times since the night before, the way you check a tooth with your tongue after the dentist tells you the cavity's filled, just to be sure the absence was real. It was real. Gideon sat beside me, looking lighter than I'd seen him look since August.Ginna looked sm
