Chapter 94: HEALING THE DARKNESS
Chapter 94: Healing the Darkness
The guardian, who was dying, fell to his knees, where silver blood pooled. The network of souls around them flickered like candles in a storm.
Thousands of lives were being taken away to heal someone who had been terrorizing them for hundreds of years.
"Stop!" Through their mate bond, Kael yelled. "You’re killing everyone!" Liana didn’t back down, though. Instead, she did something that shocked everyone who was involved.
She moved toward the twisted thing and wrapped her arms around it. "What are you doing?" the creature wearing Mira’s face whispered, its stolen body trembling against her. "Something that should have been done long ago," Liana answered softly. "I’m giving you what you needed all along."
She told everyone everything through the network. Not just energy that heals, but also memories. The first time the triplets made her laugh. Talia’s friendship when no one else cared. Marcus treating her with respect despite her omega status.
Her mother’s songs from childhood. Every moment of love, every feeling of belonging, every second of real connection—she shared it all. The creature recoiled like it had been burned. "No! Don’t show me this! I can’t—I don’t deserve—"
"You’re right," Liana said, holding tighter as the creature tried to pull away. "None of us deserve love. But we get it anyway." She felt the entity’s pain through the embrace—millennia of isolation, rejection, and self-hatred.
It was like hugging a thornbush made of pure anguish. Every second of touch sent waves of agony through the network. But she didn’t let go. "I was cast out by my first pack," the entity sobbed, its true voice finally breaking through.
