Chapter 156: Confrontation and Revelations

(God’s POV)

Sandy Parker held her phone with trembling fingers, her voice sharp with dismissal. “You don’t need to worry about this. The daughter of the Whitmore family will only be me.”

She ended the call abruptly, cutting off Sophia Rivers mid–sentence. Sandy’s face twisted with arrogance as

she tossed the phone onto her bed.

The DNA test results were absolute proof. She was Samuel Whitmore’s biological daughter, confirmed by

science itself.

Whatever warnings Sophia had about some other she–wolf who resembled someone important meant

nothing. Sandy didn’t care who this mysterious woman looked like.

Her bloodline was verified. Her position was secure.

On the other end of the disconnected call, Sophia Rivers laughed coldly into the empty air. Her amusement

was sharp and calculating.

“What a fool without brains,” she whispered to herself.

Sophia had suspected something was amiss from the very beginning. First, Sandy had conveniently replaced

Elena as Marcus’s supposed lifesaver.

Now she had magically become the Whitmore family’s long–lost daughter. The coincidences were too perfect,

too convenient.

But as long as it wasn’t Elena claiming these positions, this brainless fool posed no real threat to her carefully laid plans.

Sandy could play dress–up as the Whitmore princess all she wanted. It would only make her eventual

downfall more spectacular.

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

The next morning, I sat in the dim interior of Shadowcrest hidden cottage, my hands folded tightly in my lap.

The musty air carried the scent of ancient herbs and something darker.

When Eira Moonshade finally arrived, her weathered face immediately showed recognition and discomfort. I

didn’t waste time with pleasantries.

“My Alpha Marcus Blackwood refused to sever our mate bond,” I stated directly. “I know you could perform

the ritual of Moon Severance to help me.”

I pushed a thick envelope of cash across the rough wooden table between us. The bills rustled softly in the

silence.

“I can pay more if necessary,” I added.

Eira Moonshade’s expression grew pained and apologetic. She pushed the envelope back toward me without

opening it.

“I cannot take your case anymore,” she said quietly.

My heart sank, but I kept my expression neutral. “Why not?”

“Not only me, but no wizard in the entire Northern Territory would dare take on a case against Alpha Marcus Blackwood,” she explained.

Her voice carried genuine regret. “He has made his position very clear to our community.”

I stared at the returned money, feeling trapped. “So what are my options?”

“Find another solution,” she suggested weakly. “Or wait one year for the bond’s automatic magical weakening.”

“Did Marcus contact you directly?” I asked, though I already knew the answer.

Her guilty expression confirmed everything without words. The Alpha’s influence reached even into the hidden

magical community.

After leaving the cottage, I contacted another bond dissolution wizard from my phone’s contacts. The

conversation was depressingly familiar.

The moment I mentioned Marcus Blackwood’s name, the wizard’s tone shifted to immediate refusal. No

explanations, no negotiations.

I was walking down the stone steps when a luxury sedan pulled up to the roadside. The door opened, and

Nathan Sterling emerged.

He looked dramatically different from our last encounter. His face was gaunt, his elegant bearing replaced by something hollow and tired.

When he spotted me, genuine surprise flashed across his features. “Elena? When did you return?”

“I’m back temporarily for a few days,” I replied carefully.

We stood in awkward silence for a moment. The weight of our complicated history hung between us like a

physical barrier.

As Nathan turned to leave, I couldn’t hold back the question that had been haunting me. “When I was nearly

assaulted in that private dining suite and you happened to appear, was that part of your plan too?”

Nathan froze completely. His shoulders tensed as if I had struck him physically.

After a long pause, he turned back to face me. His expression was filled with shame and regret.

“I gave Sophia the correct suite number,” he admitted quietly. “I arranged for people to create trouble so I

could appear as your rescuer.”

My stomach twisted with betrayal, even though I had suspected this truth.

“However,” Nathan continued, “Sophia secretly changed the suite and found different people. She corrupted

my plan for her own purposes.”

He ran a hand through his disheveled hair. “This was originally a battle between Marcus and me, but I dragged you into it.”

His voice cracked slightly. “If I hadn’t chosen to cooperate with Sophia, none of this would have happened,

and we would still be best friends, wouldn’t we?”

I looked at this broken man who had once been my closest companion. “What a pity…

Nathan smiled bitterly, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. “It truly is a pity”

(God’s POV)

At Riverstone Medical Center, Adrian Whitmore stood at the scheduling desk, transferring his appointments to a colleague. His movements were efficient but distracted.

“Taking a few days off?” his colleague asked curiously. “That’s not like you.”

Adrian deflected smoothly. “I deserve a break after working full attendance every year.”

His colleague raised an eyebrow skeptically. “Going to find Elena?”

“Just need some rest,” Adrian replied, avoiding the question entirely.

As he walked down the hospital corridor, Adrian noticed William Parker moving slowly with a cane toward the healer’s station. The older man’s face was etched with determination and worry.

“Excuse me,” William said to the head healer. “I’m looking for Dr. Elena.”

The healer looked up from her charts. “Dr. Elena is on leave for a few days.”

William’s face fell with disappointment. “When will she return?”

“I can’t provide a definite answer,” the healer replied apologetically.

Adrian approached quietly, his medical instincts engaging. “Can I help with any medical concerns?”

William turned, startled by the interruption. His face flushed with embarrassment.

“It’s not about medical issues,” he said awkwardly, then turned to leave.

Adrian’s eyes narrowed with suspicion. “Is it about your daughter?”

William suddenly froze, his cane clattering against the floor.

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

I returned to Darkwood Lodge feeling defeated and trapped. In the elegant lobby, I spotted Amber Stone

standing near the reception desk.

Through the glass doors, I could see a familiar luxury vehicle parked outside. My pulse quickened with

recognition.

I walked outside and knocked on the tinted rear window. The glass slowly lowered, revealing half of Marcus’s

profile in the afternoon shadows.

“Alpha Marcus, you’re looking for me?” I asked, keeping my voice steady.

His golden eyes met mine through the gap. “Did you see a wizard today?”

My expression stiffened momentarily before I forced a smile. “I did meet with wizards, but they all view you as

a formidable opponent and refused to take my case.”

Marcus simply smiled, the expression not reaching his eyes. “Then don’t sever the b

When my forced smile faded without response, he continued casually. “Grandmother Margaret knows you’re back and asked me to bring you to the ancestral manor for dinner.”

I stepped back from the car. I’ve repaid all debts to grandmother. I shouldn’t need to give the old matriarch face by attending this dinner.”

As I started to walk away, Marcus’s voice stopped me. “As long as we’re not bond severed, you’re still grandmother’s granddaughter–in–law.”

I gritted my teeth in frustration. The reminder of my trapped position stung like salt in a wound.

Reluctantly, I returned and got into the car beside him.
