Chapter 59 Embrace

• Sheila sighed, her heart heavy with the burden of what she was about to say. She wanted to believe in Genesis's plan —wanted to believe that the queen would step in and save them all—but the reality was far more complicated than that. "It is a good plan, Genesis," Sheila said softly, her voice tinged with regret. "But... the problem is, I don't know if the Queen would be willing to help... you know... a lycan.”
• For a while, the only sound in the room was the faint drip of water somewhere in the distance. It was a slow, steady rhythm, almost hypnotic in its monotony. But beneath that, there was a current of anxiety, a silent, unspoken question that hung in the air between them all: What now?
• Genesis finally lifted her head, her eyes flickering over to where Sheila stood. She hesitated, her fingers twitching nervously in her lap. She had something to say, an idea that had been forming in her mind for some time, but doubt gnawed at her. She wasn’t sure if her opinion would be valued—if her words would even be heard.
