Chapter 108)
Slowly, I released her, letting her fall back to the ground, her tears streaming down her face.
She scrambled backward, her eyes never leaving mine, still filled with fear.
“I won’t be like you, Sorcia,” I said quietly, my voice carrying across the field. “But you will remember this.”
And with that, I turned away from her, walking off the field as the crowd erupted into cheers.
The sound was deafening, a wave of approval and admiration that washed over me.
They had seen what I had done, understood the significance of my victory.
A she–wolf, who seems to be nothing but good looking, defeats one of the most elite werewolves in legend.
It was a victory that would echo through the ranks, giving hope to those who had been overlooked, underestimated, or bullied.
As I looked up from the field, I spotted Leo in the crowd, and to my surprise, his usual serious expression was gone, replaced by a big, joyful smile.
His eyes were bright with pride, and I could tell he was genuinely happy for me.
He raised his hand in a cheer, blending in with the excited crowd, but the way he looked at me felt personal, like he was saying, “You did it.”
In that moment, all his usual coolness was replaced by warmth and happiness.
It feels like he no longer sees me as a mediocre wife, but as someone who has actually accomplished something important.
His joy made my victory feel even more special.
As I stepped off the field, my heart still pounding from the adrenaline of the fight, I noticed my phone vibrating in my pocket.
The screen lit up with Rolin’s name, and a sense of unease settled in my chest.
Why was he calling now, and with such urgency?
I answered the call, my voice still a little breathless from the battle. “Rolin?”
“I need to see you. Now,” Rolin’s voice was tense, almost frantic. The urgency in his tone sent a chill down my spine.
“What’s going on?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm. “Is everything okay?”
“I have news…. about your mother,” he said, the words coming out in a rush.
His statement hit me like a lightning bolt.
For a moment, the world around me seemed to stop, the sounds of the cheering crowd fading into the background.
My mother? After all these years?
It felt like an eternity before I could form a coherent response.
My heart pounded in my chest, and the world seemed to blur around me.
I half–expected it to be some kind of cruel joke, or maybe just a figment of my imagination, a desperate hope turned into a hallucination.
Rolin’s voice was steady on the other end of the line.
