“You shouldn’t go” he said firmly, his icy tone hinting at the lingering anger he always felt toward the Amber Pack. “At least let Hunter go with you”

“Nu” I was already walking toward the door. “I can handle this, Roman Don’t worry”

Another beat of silence, his disapproval practically crackling through the line. Tine,” he foally said. “Thut call me the moment something feels off”

“Oh…okay” she replied hesitantly. “Be careful, Scarlett.”

Chapter 19: Deadly Confiontations:

The weight of unspoken tension settled between us, suffocating in its intensity I could feel the way his hands gripped the steering wheel lighter with every passing moment, his knuckles white against the strain.

The healing den reeked of desperation. Aromas of herbal baths and burning sage tried futilely to mask the heavy aura of impending death. Grace lay on the central healing stones, her once ethereal beauty now a horrifying reflection of decay Silver poison coursed visibly beneath her translucent skin, the dark, branching lines pulsing like living veins of death

Alexander stood awkwardly, his composure cracking under the crushing weight of helplessness. I kept my stride slow, my expression deliberately

Grace turned her head weakly toward Alexander, her pale blue eyes shimmering with a desperate plea

rely audible. Leave us…I want to talk to her alone.”

“Please,” she whispered, her voice barely

Alexander hesitated, his gaze darting between her pitiful form and my cold, unyielding stance. I could d see the memory of our last confrontation flaring in his amber eyes, his doubt warring with his desire to protect her.

“Alexander,” she murmured again, her voice laced with just enough vulnerability to break his resolve.

With a reluctant nod, he turned and left, the door clicking softly behind him.

For a long moment, silence enveloped the room, broken only by the faint, labored wheeze of Grace’s breathing. I stayed standing, crossing my arms and casting a dispassionate gaze over her frail figure.

“So,” she finally rasped, forcing a weak smile,”

“are yo

you enjoying your new empire?

I tilted my head slightly, my emerald eyes narrowing. “Define enjoying.”

Her smile widened faintly, though the effort made her face tremble. “Your freedom, she whispered. “It must feel exhilarating. After all, you’re the big, powerful Scarlett Winters now, aren’t you?

My silence only seemed to amuse her more.

“Alexander told me about your little healing center, she continued after a pause, her tone dripping with mock admiration. “Impressive. Truly”

I raised an eyebrow, my voice cold. “Glad you think so.”

Her own pale blue eyes glinted with something smug. Despite the weakness overtaking her body, that same old arrogance refused to die

“But tell me,” she pressed, her voice gaining a faint edge of malice. Does it fill that void in your life? Do you miss being part of a real pack?”

I smirked, tilting my head ever so slightly. “You mean the packs that abandoned me? The ones that lied, schemed, and tried to strip me of everything? Or do you mean the one whose future Luna is currently trying to manipulate me?”

Her laughter came in soft, brittle bursts. It was the kind of laugh that wasn’t meant to bring joy but rather fuel disdain. “You’re still angry. I can feel it.”

I said nothing, letting the silence between us crackle like an unspoken warning.

She shifted slightly, her trembling body barely able to lean forward. “You think you’ve won she murmured. “But you’re wrong”

I let out a short, dry laugh. “Do enlighten me, Grace. What exactly am I missing?”

“Alexander,” she said plainly, her lips curling faintly. “He’s working harder than you think. You might think you’ve outmaneuvered him, but he’s already targeting your precious center. He’s cutting off your resources, little by little.”

My expression didn’t change, though my fists clenched subtly behind my crossed arms. Her words were meant to rattle me, but I refused to give her the satisfaction

“s that so?” I said, my voice calm. “And how long do you think it will take? A month? A year?”

Her blue eyes sparkled faintly, but her smile didn’t quite reach them. “Not long,” she whispered. “You’ve built something impressive, Scarlett, I’ll admit that. But without the support of the packs, you’ll crumble. You’ll lose everything”

“And yet here I am,” I replied evenly, not missing a beat. “Still standing. Meanwhile, you’re.. I gestured vaguely to her frail form, letting the implication hang in the air.
