Chapter 304: The Storm will Stay with Me

Draven.

"I screamed loudly until people outside started to hear. And when he realized he couldn’t have his way with me..."

Her hand lifted unconsciously to her cheek, her fingers brushing the spot where the scar used to be.

"He slashed me with his claw, right across my face."

Something inside me snapped.

My vision darkened, the beast in me rising so fast it rattled my bones.

Rhovan snarled inside my head, his fury echoing my own. "He dared. He dared lay a hand on her. He dared to scar, what is ours? He must pay."

I forced my jaw shut before the growl in my throat could escape, my fists tightened on my knees until the leather of my gloves strained.

Raw, unbridled rage coursed through me like fire, hot and merciless.

And yet, Meredith just sat there, tears clinging to her lashes, unaware of the storm building inside me. She kept going, her words weaving deeper cuts into my chest.

"After that day, every time I looked in the mirror, the scar reminded me of him. Of that nightmare. And it wouldn’t heal, because I didn’t have a wolf then. The doctor tried, but it was slow and ugly."

She gave a hollow laugh. "I hated it so much that I... I decided not to let it heal anymore. When no one was watching, I would scrape off the herbs and reopen the wound every few weeks."

Her lips trembled, but her voice carried a strange pride. "I wanted to keep it as a reminder—as a promise to myself that one day, I would punish him."

I could only stare, in shock, fury, grief—every emotion ripped through me, raw and relentless.

All those months, I thought she had been stubborn, vain, refusing help. I had even brought my best physician from Stormveil to heal her, and she resisted. Now I understood why.

My hand trembled against my thigh, the wolf in me clawing for release. "Give me his name. I will end him now."

Meredith, tipsy and unaware, lifted her head and gave me the faintest smile. "Are you that angry, Draven? That you want revenge for me?"

The truth slipped out like a vow. "Yes." My voice was low and growly. "Tell me his name. The wolf who dared do this to you. Tell me now."

But she shook her head stubbornly, her eyes glassy but her tone firm. "No. Leave him. I will get my own revenge. Even though the scar is gone, even though my face looks normal now, believe me when I say he is the first wolf I will kill when I get my powers."

I stared at her, my fury trembling against my ribs, barely contained. She had no idea how close I was to unleashing hell on the bastard who had dared touch her.

But she wanted this for herself. Her revenge, her closure.

If I took it from her, I would wound her pride in a way that scar never could. So I swallowed the rage and nodded once, though it burned in my chest like fire.

After a moment, I asked quietly, "Do your family know? About how you got that scar?"

She shook her head, strands of silver hair brushing her cheeks. "No. None of them."

Her certainty struck me like a blade as my gaze sharpened.

No one?

Rhovan’s voice rumbled darkly inside me. "It seems the only ones who know are Meredith and the wolf who did it."

Shifting my focus back to Meredith, I eased the crumpled tissue from her fingers and set it quietly on the table. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
