Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below A heavy tension settled over everyone gathered in the room. The air inside the arena felt thick and suffocating, as if the very walls were holding their breath. Each person silently wished for a miracle, hoping against hope that I would somehow pull through the ordeal.
But reality, as it often is, proved to be harsh and unyielding. Miracles were scarce, and none came that day. Perhaps Hazel, that young girl, had also clung to the faint hope that her brother would show her mercy in the end. Yet, that mercy never arrived. She remained frozen forever in that endless summer, untouched by time. A long, flat beep echoed from the machine monitoring my heart, and the electrocardiogram displayed a straight, unbroken line. My body was simply too exhausted, too worn out, needing a rest that would stretch on endlessly.
It was the moment for this tragic charade to finally conclude. "Hazel, I'm coming to find you," I whispered softly, as if speaking aloud could bridge the distance between us. In my mind's eye, I saw her standing in a sun-drenched meadow, waving gently at me. I ran toward her, my heart aching with longing, and wrapped my arms around her tightly. "I missed you so much," I told her, my voice trembling with emotion. Hand in hand, we began to walk forward together down the path that stretched out before us, bathed in golden light.
Nearby, the witch turned to Finn, her tone laden with sorrow and regret. "I'm sorry. I truly did everything I could," she confessed quietly. Finn collapsed, his sobs wracking his body like those of a child who has lost their most treasured possession. The crushing weight of his actions-the fact that he had pushed away the one person who loved him most-hit him with brutal force. The live broadcast of this heartbreaking moment came to an end, but the story was far from over. Using the evidence gathered from the memory judgment, pack enforcers swiftly mobilized to track down the fugitive, Bruno.

Working in cooperation with officers from the Northern Territory, they eventually found him. Bruno was caught off guard while partying in a strip club, completely unaware of the chaos unfolding around him-a stark example of Alpha Rex's leniency toward his son. Meanwhile, Luna Ruby could no longer bear to meet her husband's gaze. The pain was too deep. Chapter 8 The shock was overwhelming. Luna Ruby severed her mate bond with Alpha Rex, unable to endure the betrayal and grief any longer.
The emotional devastation pushed her into a mental breakdown, and she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Within those sterile walls, she muttered endlessly, her voice barely above a whisper: "Hazel, Hazel, my baby..." Sometimes tears would streak down her face as she repeated, "I'm sorry, Hazel. This is all my fault. I should never have brought you back to the pack..." Her fragile mental state left her unable to communicate clearly, trapped in a haze of sorrow and guilt. Meanwhile, the scandal shattered the Bloodmoon Pack's once-illustrious reputation.
Many members abandoned the pack, seeking refuge elsewhere. Overnight, the pack that had once been the most powerful in the werewolf realm was reduced to a shadow of its former self. Finn, drowning in his own remorse and grief, remained oblivious to the pack's collapse. He sought solace at the bottom of a bottle, losing himself in alcohol day after day. He also received a summons from the werewolf tribunal. His treatment of me was deemed a crime, a violation of the sacred Alpha code, and he was forced to face the consequences.
Each day, Finn would make his way to the pack cemetery, sit beside my headstone, and drink until he was utterly wasted. Tears would flow freely as he begged for my forgiveness, wishing desperately that I might visit him in his dreams. One night, on his way back to the pack quarters, Finn was ambushed by a group of rogues who had caught wind of his vulnerability. They targeted his watch, but he refused to surrender it without a fight. In the struggle, he was stabbed more than a dozen times.
Though he managed to keep the watch safe, by the time he reached the pack hospital, his life had slipped away. The watch itself held little monetary value, and many wondered how the former Alpha had fallen so far. But only Finn knew the truth-that watch was a gift I had given him for his coming-of-age birthday, a symbol of our bond. I stood quietly before Hazel's grave, placing a bouquet of daisies and lilies-her favorites-beside a bottle of cherry cola. The soft breeze carried the scent of flowers as the sun began to dip below the horizon.
I remembered a moment from long ago, sitting with Hazel in the treehouse, watching the sunset together. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" she had asked, taking a big gulp of her cola. I smiled at the memory. "Me? I haven't really thought about it. How about you?" She laughed softly. "Funny, neither have I." We shared a lighthearted laugh, the simplicity of that moment a sharp contrast to the pain that followed.
Then, growing serious, she said, "I hope kids like us-those without a real home or pack-can all find someone who truly cares about them." Her words caught me off guard, but I couldn't help smiling as I snatched her cola. "Since when do you get so serious, especially while drinking cola? Let me see if this is actually tequila in here!" "That's just an excuse! You just want to steal my cola!" she shouted, springing up to chase me with a playful grin. Clinging to those happiest memories, I wiped away my tears. Someone gently handed me a handkerchief. "It's time to leave this place behind.
Forget everything and start a new life," the witch said softly, handing me a bulging bag filled with supplies and money. "Thank you," I said, accepting it gratefully. "Thank you for saving me, for faking my death." "You deserve a better life," she replied, turning to walk away. "Goodbye." I watched her retreating figure until she disappeared from sight. Then, my gaze returned to Hazel's headstone. I dried my tears and smiled gently. "Goodbye, Hazel," I whispered.
"See you on the other side." Conclusion The chapter closes on a somber yet tender note, capturing the profound sorrow and loss that has enveloped the characters. The weight of grief is palpable, from Hazel's frozen innocence to Luna Ruby's mental collapse, and Finn's tragic downfall. Yet amidst the darkness, the memories shared-the laughter, the simple moments of joy-offer a fragile light that honors what once was and what can never be reclaimed. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring bonds of love and the deep wounds left by betrayal and loss.
