Chapter 77 Blood And Secrets

• Aphrodite's Point of View
• The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm glow over the forest as I made my way back toward the Red Blood Pack. My heart felt heavy with the weight of my encounter with Lena and the haunting realization of Jax’s fate. I knew I needed to return to Selene, to hold her close and remind myself of the love that anchored me to this world.
• As I walked, the vibrant colors of the forest around me began to fade into a dull haze. The beauty of the world felt distant, overshadowed by the pain I carried. I lost myself in thought, reflecting on Jax’s memory and the bittersweet connection I had forged with his mother. But my reverie was abruptly broken when I noticed a figure moving stealthily through the trees.
