Chapter 31 Something Unknown

• “She was supposed to be gone. We almost thought that she's really dead. But what I heard a while ago, she just only simply dumped our Alpha."
• A voice—not quite loud, but laced with certainty—cut through the silence that followed Damon’s departure. It wasn’t directed at anyone in particular, yet the weight of it hung in the air like fog.
• Elara stood alone in the corridor now, her posture graceful despite the bruises, her pale hair cascading around her shoulders like moonlight through smoke. The healers had retreated at her silent command, giving her space she hadn’t asked for but clearly needed. And as she stood there—eyes trained on the spot where Damon had disappeared after Lily—something about her expression made the onlookers pause.
