《The Little Canary of the Alpha》全部章節：第 121 章 - 第 130 章

Elion POV.I stood by the window, eyes fixed on the dark skyline, hands clasped tight behind my back. I could feel her trembling behind me—every small shake, every sharp breath she took as the truth sank in. It tore at me, seeing her break like this, but there was no going back now. She had to know everything.I spoke slowly, voice low and steady, letting every word carry the weight of what had happened decades ago.“My grandfather… he was your father’s boss,” I said, the words heavy on my tongue. “Back then, your father worked directly under him. He was trusted, loyal, part of the inner circle. That is how my grandfather came to know your mother. That is how he found out what she could do.”I paused, swallowing hard, remembering the stories I had heard—the whispers, the secrets passed down only to those who carried the family name.“Your mother had a gift… a rare, powerful healing ability. It was not magic, not a legend… it was real. She could mend wounds, speed up recovery, soothe p

Brielle POV.It has been exactly one week since that day. One week since I read the files, since I heard every dark truth from Elion’s own lips, since I learned exactly why my life turned out the way it did. That same day, I told him I needed time—time to think, time to breathe, time to accept the heavy weight I now carried. He didn’t argue. He didn’t push me. He just nodded, his eyes full of understanding and sadness, and let me walk away.I am so thankful that school has started again. Being here, surrounded by students, books, and busy hallways, gives me a reason to stay away. It makes avoiding Elion easier. I know deep down he has no sin. But still… his grandfather was the one who started everything. If that man hadn’t been greedy, hadn’t been desperate for life,

Brielle POV.I leaned back against my dorm room door, letting out a long, shaky sigh as I slid down until I was sitting on the floor. My eyes were closed, trying to block out everything I had just seen and heard in that classroom. My heart was still beating fast, thumping hard against my ribs like it wanted to break free. I felt tired—so incredibly tired—but my mind wouldn’t stop racing. One name kept echoing inside my head, sharp and cold: Darian Cross Sr.Just a few minutes ago, as soon as class ended, I pulled my phone out of my bag so fast I almost dropped it. My fingers moved on their own, already finding Elion’s name in my contacts. I needed to tell him. I needed to say it out loud: He is here. The hunter we feared is actually here, in this c

Brielle POV.I stood there alone now, surrounded by noise and students, but feeling completely quiet inside. I picked up my bag and started walking slowly back toward the campus. I broke his heart… her words echoed in my head again. Stop messing with his feelings.I hugged my arms around myself, feeling cold even though the evening air was warm. I never wanted to be a problem. I never wanted to be the reason for pain. But now, on top of everything else—on top of Darian Cross and Elion and all the secrets I carried—I had caused a fight between Jaxon and his mate.‘Maybe Scarlett is right,’ a small voice inside me whispered. ‘Maybe I should stay away.’I pulled my bag tighter against my side and started walking, my shoes making a soft, steady sound on the pavement. The sun had gone down completely now, and the streetlights cast long, pale shadows across the road. It was strange—just a little while ago, this place had been full of students laughing, talking, and rushing around. But now,

Brielle POV.Every step I took beside him felt heavier than the last. The air between us was thick, loaded with everything he had just said—about my parents, about the old fights, about Elion and the pack. His words circled in my head, sharp and sticky, trying to stick to every belief I ever held. I kept my head down, hands clasped tight in front of me, my skin crawling with discomfort. I just wanted this walk to end. I wanted to be away from his cold eyes, away from his soft, dangerous voice, away from the lies and truths he was mixing together to confuse me.Then, finally, I saw it. The familiar shape of the dorm building rising up ahead, its windows glowing warm yellow in the night. My shoulders dropped instantly, and a breath of relief slipped out before I could stop it. ‘Thank goodness. I’m almost there. Just a little further, and I can walk away. I can lock my door and be safe.’That sense of ease lasted only a second. It vanished completely, gone in the blink of an eye, replace
