All Chapters of When My Mind-reading Wolf Fell Silent: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Rylan’s POVThe next morning, I showed up at Morrigan’s apartment.She clearly hadn’t slept. When she saw me, her eyes flashed with fear before she forced a smile.“Rylan? What are you—”I didn’t speak. I just threw all the evidence I’d gathered on the floor in front of her.The shards of the memory crystal, still faintly glowing with the scene from the balcony.A small vial of green liquid—a corrosive poison made for one thing: to burn away a mate's mark. And a detailed report, documenting every lie and setup she had orchestrated against Aveline for the past seven years.“How do you explain this?” My voice was terrifyingly calm.Her face went white as she looked at the evidence.But she recovered quickly, a cold smirk appearing on her face.“Explain? Why should I explain?” She stood up, her eyes challenging me. “The entire pack knows Aveline was a joke!”“What did you say?”“A weak, useless omega who did nothing but cry! How could she ever deserve the strongest Alpha in Blackrock?” He

Aveline’s POVThree months later, on a remote Greek island.I used my remaining savings to rent a small cottage in the quietest corner of the island. A sign hung by the door: “Mind & Soul Healing.”This place was far from the world of wolves. My clients were all human.They didn't know my past. They didn't look at me with strange eyes.They just saw me as a young therapist who could heal emotional trauma.“This is the life you were meant to live!” Echo said excitedly in my mind. “Look at how fulfilled you are! Helping people who actually need it!”It was true.In these three months, I used my healing abilities to help many humans suffering from trauma.A mother who lost her child. A wife who was betrayed. A middle-aged man who lost his job. A teenage girl with depression.Every time I saw them smile again, I felt a deep sense of purpose.This feeling of being needed, of being appreciated, was something I’d never experienced in the pack.“See?” Echo said smugly. “You can do just fine on

Aveline’s POVTwo months later.Leo and I had settled into our new life completely.We moved into a larger house on the island. The ground floor was an expanded healing center, and the second floor held our separate bedrooms.With a recommendation from the Healers’ Guild, Leo also began to see special wolf patients here.We had become the perfect work partners.This morning, I went to the town’s herb shop for supplies, just like usual.The owner, Maria, knew me well by now and always saved the best herbs for me.“Aveline!” she greeted me warmly. “What can I get for you today?”“The usual. Lavender, chamomile, and some rosemary,” I answered with a smile.After paying, I left the shop with my basket full of herbs.The sun was bright, the sea breeze was gentle. It was a beautiful afternoon.“Aveline.”A familiar voice came from behind me.My blood ran cold.No. It couldn’t be. Not here. Not now.I slowly turned around.Rylan stood about thirty feet away.He was much thinner, his cheeks ho

Aveline’s POVI stared at the unconscious Rylan, my mind at war.If I severed the dark magic, he would die.If I did nothing, my own soul would continue to be torn apart until I went mad.“Save him!” Echo’s split voice screamed again. “He only did this because he loves you!”“Let him die!” the other voice roared. “He deserves the consequences!”“What should I do?” I asked Leo, my voice full of despair.“Let’s stabilize him first, and then…”Before he could finish, the sound of hoofbeats echoed outside the cottage.Leo looked out the window, on high alert. “Someone’s here.”Three riders in black cloaks appeared in the yard. They wore the silver insignia of the Elder Council on their chests.The Enforcers.“By order of the Wolf Elder Council!” the lead rider announced loudly. “Rylan Blackwood is charged with the use of forbidden dark magic, a violation of the highest Wolf Code! Surrender the criminal immediately!”Leo and I exchanged a look.“He’s here,” Leo said, opening the door. “But

Aveline’s POVOne year later. A small town in the Swiss Alps.I was preparing an herbal tea for my first patient of the day.This was a quiet town, surrounded by the snowy peaks of the Alps. The air always smelled faintly of pine.“Good morning, beautiful,” Leo said, coming downstairs. His hair was still a bit messy, but his eyes were full of a gentle, smiling warmth.“Good morning.” I stood on my toes and kissed his cheek. “Coffee’s in the kitchen.”Our life this past year had been simple and full.We spent our days helping humans with their emotional trauma at the healing center. At night, we’d sit by the fireplace, reading and talking, or go to the little pub in town to listen to music.There were no pack politics, no Alpha power games, no complicated hierarchies.Just two people in love, living a simple, happy life.“Aveline,” Leo said suddenly.I turned to look at him and saw he was nervous.“What is it?”He took a deep breath, then dropped to one knee.My heart stopped.“Leo…”
