“Elena, stop!” Marcus rushed over, his hands covering mine as blood began to seep from where | was pulling

at the needle.

“I have to find her,” | insisted, struggling against his grip. “She’s waiting for me.”

Marcus heldtightly, his voice firm but gentle. “Elena, you need to face the truth. Your mother is gone.”

“No!” | refused to believe it. The pain in my chest was unbearable. | bit down hard on Marcus's arm, tasting

blood.

Despite the pain, Marcus remained steady. “She’s gone, Elena. You need to face reality.”

Dr. Pierce stepped forward, his voice concerned. “It’s better not to stimulate her in her current

| momentarily sobered up, but then coldness filled my heart. “Your reliability?” | laughed bitterly. “Like with my

brother David? Like with my father Richard?”

“l can’t trust you, Marcus. Not anymore.”

Marcus's jaw tightened. “I know you don’t trustbecause of David and Richard. | know you want to convict

Sophia.”

He paused, studying my face. “You're persistent in blaming her. And honestly, her presence at Patricia's fall

has sparked ssuspicion inas well,”

“But I'll wait until the pack enforcement investigation concludes before making any judgments.”

(Sophia Rivers’ POV)

At the Northern Territory Pack Enforcement Headquarters, Nurse Rebecca Hayes and | sat across from Officer

Sarah Mitchell. Both of us appeared frightened, our hands trembling slightly.

| wiped tears from my eyes as | recounted the events. “We tried to stop her from jumping. Patricia was so

distraught over her son’s condition and her mate’s death.”

Officer Mitchell nodded, taking notes. “What triggered the suicide attempt?”

Detective Robert Hayes looked up from his files. “We can confirm the k***+**x*g incident. The suspect is

currently in a vegetative state in another detention facility.”

The officers compared our statements carefully. Both Rebecca and | had said the sthing that mentioning

Patricia's vegetative son caused her emotional breakdown.

“Patricia did strangle my neck,” | added, touching my throat gingerly. “The nurse stopped her, but she was so

upset...

Officer Mitchell finished writing. “Your statements are consistent. We'll need to review this with the Chief

Commander.

Chief Commander Harrison reviewed our two-page statement without revealing any emotion. Marcus waited

silently as the chief examined every detail.

“There's nothing suspicious in these statements,” Chief Commander Harrison finally announced. “Due to

insufficient evidence of intentional murder, we're releasing Miss Rivers.”

| walked out of the headquarters, relief flooding through me. Marcus was waiting outside, his expression

unreadable.

“I was so scared,” | said, letting tears flow freely. “It was horrible watching her fall.”

Marcus's eyes narrowed. “What were you doing at Shadowmere Medical Center in the first place?”

“I was there to discuss Isabella’s matter with Adrian,” | replied quickly. “I happened to meet a nurse friend.”

“Stay out of Isabella’s affairs, Marcus warned, his voice cold. “And I'm starting to suspect your involvement in

Elena's recent misfortunes.”

My heart pounded, but | forced myself to look hurt. “How can you blme for Patricia, Da

situations? I tried to save her!”

“She let go of our hands, Marcus. There was nothing more | could do.”

Marcus frowned, clearly conflicted. Just then, his phone rang.

“Alpha Blackwood? Elena is missing from her room, cthe urgent voice from the hospital.

Marcus's face darkened. TI be right there.” He turned to me. “Take a taxi home.”

As he drove away, | felt a mix of relief and resentment. After ten years of knowing me, he was finally starting

to suspect me.

(Elena’s POV)

Patricia's body had been taken to the Northern Territory Memorial Services. | was brought to see her in the Cold

Storage, and my heart shattered at the sight.

The visible signs of the fall were heartbreaking, despite the repairs done by Memorial Cosmetologist Sarah.

“I spent six hours working on her,” Sarah said gently. “I wanted her to look as she did in life.”

“Thank you,” | whispered, appreciating her efforts. “Could | have a few minutes alone with her?”

Nathan appeared beside me, his face etched with grief. “Elena, I'm so sorry for your loss.”

| looked at him with empty eyes. “Life is so fleeting. The love she gaveis gone forever.”

(Nathan Sterling's POV)

“I'm sorry,” | said, the words feeling inadequate. “If | had answered her phone calls, maybe | could have

prevented this tragedy.”

Elena’s smile was sad and distant. “Thank you for everything you've done for us, Nathan.”

She turned to walk away, and | felt our connection severing like a broken thread.

| grabbed her arm desperately. “Elena, letexplain-"

Suddenly, Marcus appeared and his fist connected with my face. The force knockedbackward, pain exploding

across my jaw.

| clenched my hands, feeling that once she left, | would never see her again.

Nathan Sterling was caught off guard and knocked over by Marcus's force.
