Chapter 60 Lapse

• Rachel was enveloped in a deep darkness, much like the one that had swallowed her during her encounter with Misty. But her wolf was nowhere to be seen. Only voices echoed around her—familiar, stirring a flicker of recognition deep within.
• As she stumbled through the void, a light began to glow, drawing closer, unveiling fragments of her past. Images of her childhood flickered into view. One scene sharpened: the orphanage where she’d spent so many years. She saw herself, small and uncertain, being led into a room by one of the women who cared for the children.
• Rachel’s breath caught as she realized this wasn’t just a dream—these were memories, vivid and real. But something was off. She didn’t remember a third person in that room. A mysterious figure stood there, cloaked in black, a hood casting shadows over their face. In a flash, Rachel made the connection: this was the same woman who had hunted her in that first dream with Misty.
