Chapter 102

• Anita’s POV
• I could feel the soft warmth that surrounded me. The kind that filled the spaces between my bones, saturating my mind with a strange, comforting heaviness. I blinked, groggy, as if emerging from a deep fog. The world around me was blurry, but I could make out a familiar shape—a hulking silhouette, broad and imposing, standing by my side. His scent wrapped around me like a blanket, a mixture of pine and earth, the calming presence of Alpha Hades.
• My fingers twitched, and the movement was so small, so faint, I wasn’t sure it had even happened. But then, I felt it again—a slight tremor, my hand brushing against something firm. I tried to lift it, but my arm felt as if it had been weighted down by a thousand invisible chains.
