Zayden's voice sliced through the air, cold and merciless like a biting winter gale, shattering what little dignity I had left.

Without hesitation, two towering warriors surged forward, their grip on my shoulders harsh and unyielding, as if I were nothing more than a captive to be subdued. I fought back instinctively-my wolf within roared in defiance, refusing to submit-but their strength overwhelmed me. They forced me down onto the unforgiving cold stone floor. Pain exploded through my knees as they collided with the ground, sharp and unrelenting, blurring my vision for a fleeting moment. Lysander lifted the vine whip he had readied, the leather strands slicing through the air with a piercing shriek. Then- Crack!

A searing bolt of agony tore across my back like a violent storm. I clenched my teeth, tasting blood as I bit down hard on my lip, determined not to cry out. Inside me, my wolf raged-furious, wild, rebellious-but sheer willpower kept her chained. "Do you admit your mistake?" Lysander's voice was icy, devoid of mercy. "I didn't do anything wrong..." My voice was hoarse, each word scraping painfully against my throat like shards of glass. Crack! This strike was worse, slicing through the thin fabric of my dress and burning into raw flesh.

Warm blood spread across my back, staining the fabric crimson. I recognized that pain immediately. This was no ordinary whip. It was a silver-threaded wolf whip, crafted specifically to punish those who defy the Alpha's will. "Do you admit your mistake?" "I didn't..." Again. And again. Each lash intended to shatter me-not just my body, but my very spirit. Blood mixed with the furious howls of my wolf echoing inside me. I remained silent, biting down until the coppery taste of blood filled my mouth.

My white dress was soaked in a brutal red, the cold stone beneath me stained with a grotesque pattern. "Stop! Please, stop!" Lexie, the aging maid, collapsed to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably. "She's going to die! Luna's going to die if you keep this up!" But my three brothers didn't flinch. They showed no hesitation, no mercy. They acted as if her cries were nothing more than background noise, as if I were less than human. My vision darkened. The edges of the world crumbled away.

All I could hear was Zayden's cruel voice taunting me, "If she won't admit it, we'll beat her until she does." The final lash fell-and with it, my consciousness slipped away. Darkness swallowed me whole. The last image etched in my mind was my own blood pooling on the floor, and the cold, merciless eyes of the three men who had once been my family. They had been my brothers. My protectors. My blood. Now? They were the ones wielding the blade against me. For three long days, I was locked away in a room with no visitors, no one even bringing me water.

My wounds festered, the silver threads still burning beneath my skin. I curled up on the bed like a wounded animal, clinging to life by the thinnest thread. And just next door? A completely different world. Carrie's voice floated softly through the wall, sweet and comforting. My brothers whispered gently to her, soothing her fears. Even Christian's low, rare laugh echoed faintly. Each sound stabbed at my heart, tearing it open raw. "Carrie, take your medicine." "Nooo, it's so bitter..." "Be good.

Finish it and I'll give you candy." "Then Christian, you feed me..." I buried my face in the pillow, my nails digging into my palms. Wolves heal quickly-but not from betrayal. I thought I was numb. But every breath still stabbed at my chest like a knife twisting inside. On the fourth morning, I finally found the strength to stand. Leaning heavily against the wall, I dragged myself toward the staircase-and that's when I heard it. "There've been dolphins near the coast lately," Christian said, a rare note of excitement threading through his voice.

"Carrie's always wanted to see them." "Then let's go today," the three brothers chimed in eagerly. I froze. My fingers trembled as they gripped the railing. My wounds hadn't even begun to close. Each step sent fresh waves of pain slicing through my back. "Blair?" Carrie looked up, eyes wide with surprise. "You're finally out of bed!" All four men turned toward me. Their gazes were cold, distant-like I was a stranger. I was nothing but skin and bone, the loose nightgown hanging off me like a discarded sheet, bruises mottling my wrists like shattered jewelry.

"We're heading out to see the dolphins," Carrie said, rushing over and grabbing my arm as if we were the closest of friends. "You should come too!" Without thinking, I pulled away. Tears instantly welled in her eyes. "Blair, I already forgave you," she whispered, voice trembling. "Even after you ruined my reputation... I don't want to hold grudges. I don't have much time left..." "Blair!" Christian stormed over, stepping protectively in front of her. "She's offering you peace, and this is how you respond?" Zayden scoffed dismissively. "Look at Carrie, then look at you.

It's not even close." I bit my lip so hard I tasted blood again. These men-once the closest to me-now felt more distant than strangers. They took me aboard the yacht, claiming it was to make Carrie happy. The sun blazed mercilessly overhead, so bright I had to squint against the glare. Carrie giggled, suggesting a barbecue. "I'm dying soon... can't I at least do what I want?" she murmured, her voice soft and fragile like silk. "Don't talk nonsense!" Orion quickly covered her mouth. "We've found the best healer in the entire werewolf realm.

You'll be fine." I sat quietly in the corner, watching them dote on her as if she were the only person who mattered. No one remembered that I was allergic to seafood. No one noticed my back was still an open wound. No one cared. "Why aren't you eating?" Christian finally asked, his tone laced with concern. "I... I'm allergic to seafood," I whispered. The atmosphere shifted instantly. Christian frowned, about to ask the crew to change the menu-when suddenly, a fierce gust of wind slammed into the yacht!

The boat lurched violently, tipping the grill and sending burning coals skittering wildly across the deck. "Watch out!" All four men leapt toward Carrie, shielding her as if she were the moon and they her tides. And me? A burning coal landed on my dress, flames instantly licking across the fabric. I rolled desperately on the deck, screaming as fire seared through skin and nerve. But... not a single one of them turned to look at me.

Conclusion The chapter closes on a harrowing note of isolation and betrayal, as Blair endures both physical torment and the cold indifference of those she once called family.
