Redeem Letter 소설 & 이야기

He sighed and took my hands for the shake, clearing off everything that existed between us to put start to a new ride. With this, I had learned two lessons. One was something said by Zoe that hope is all it takes to take a step towards redemption and the second one was that simple acts of kindness can melt the darkest of hearts. Our mature union made us feel as if a war had ended. Felix and Sam also came forward to apologize to me and I forgive them too.

"Through the red door. Someone will meet you." Elena stepped onto the pavement. The red door was exactly where he said, painted a shade between wine and blood, set into a brick wall with no signage. She thought of Mateo, her mother, the envelope with seventy-five hundred dollars that had been bought for her for three weeks. She pushed through the door. The woman who met her had the same voice on the phone, smiling with teeth that were too white. “Your name.” The lady asked. “Elena, ma’am.” She replied.

he said softly, “tell her that I loved her. I just forgot how.” And then he was gone. The door shut behind him, the echo stretching through the silent study like a prayer left unanswered. For a long time, neither Callen nor I moved. The only sound was the slow crackle of the dying candle. Finally, Callen exhaled. “What the hell was that?” I stared at the letter on the desk, its wax seal glinting in the flickering light. “Redemption,” I murmured. “Or maybe a ghost finally finding peace.”

In a blink, I was nothing but a helpless child again. I didn’t know how long I cried before the sobs slowly faded. Hebert reached over, grabbed a tissue, and carefully cleaned my tear‑streaked face. “There are still two letters.” He slid the velvet box toward me, tapping one of the envelopes with his long finger. “The wax seal hasn’t been touched. This one should be opened by you. Pandora’s box doesn’t always hide disasters—sometimes, it holds the last piece of hope.” I stared at the dark red wax, stamped with the Silvermoon Pack crest. My fingers trembled as I lifted the seal and unfolded the neatly folded paper inside.

Sierra stopped to look at him but when she saw that same look on his face, the feeling of hatred she sees in his eyes every time surfaced and Sierra muttered a sorry as they continued their walk. They came across Aiden and Ryker. “Did you find him?” He asked. Arnold sighed and replied with a voice laced with anger “He made the elders sign the red letter” he reported. Everyone in Blackstone knows what the red letter means, it’s the only colored paper that’s used to depose irresponsible titleholders in the pack. Aiden clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in anger. “The rogues are here already and they’ve got our men on their knees” Ryker reported to Arnold.

Adam. I broke the seal swiftly and unfolded the parchment. My eyes scanned the words, each one making my heart beat faster with pride. _"The Red Cross is ready. The outpost is secure, the fighters are loyal, and the borders are defended. Everything you asked for, Alpha. Awaiting further orders."_ —Adam I let out a slow breath, reading the letter twice more before placing it down carefully on my desk. A sense of relief swept over me, mingled with an edge of satisfaction I couldn’t suppress.

Lucas was right in front of him, holding a red envelope, sealed with a crest. That meant trouble. "What is it?" Xander growled. "I don't know." Lucas pushed the letter towards him, "It was addressed to you, read it. I will leave you alone now." The gentle creak of the door reminded him that he was gone. He was all alone in his study, staring at the red envelope, like the stain of blood. He tore it open gently, afraid it might slip away from his hands. The letter stared at him boldly, his hands traced the lines gently.

Alpha Damien said as he also sat up on the bed. “What do you mean? I thought he was missing.” Ellen asked. “I think Caine is back.” Alpha Damien replied and immediately heard a knock, and he went towards the door and opened it. “My Alpha, the Union of Alphas, delivered this letter to you.” His Gamma said and handed a letter that bore the Royal stamp. “You may leave.” Alpha Damien said and closed the door. “A letter? This is getting serious.” Ellen said with a palpitating heart.

I tossed the letter softly, going to the next. “RedClaw pack.” I couldn’t help but voice out the name. It was one of the only major packs that never had a problem with gaining the crimson throne for themselves. “An Alpha that has no problem whatsoever.” Words would be sent to him as appreciation. I picked the last letter, but gasped this time. “Are you okay?” Mother slowly made her way to me, but I shook my head, my eyes never tearing away from the logo on the letter. It was them.
