Chapter 79
~Zara’s POV~
The library in the pack house was massive. I wasn’t expecting much when I’d asked where it was—just a small room with a few shelves, maybe—but this?
This was an actual library, with high ceilings, endless rows of books, and massive windows that let the afternoon sunlight pour in. I stood at the entrance for a moment, taking it all in.
If only every pack house came with this kind of sanctuary.
I moved deeper into the room, feeling the peaceful silence envelop me as the scent of old pages and wood filled the air. It was calming, and grounding—something I hadn’t realized I desperately needed until now.
I picked a spot near the window, pulling out my laptop. The events from the last few days had been a whirlwind, and my mind was a mess, spinning with everything that had happened since my rebirth.
’Where did I go wrong?’ I asked myself.
I settled into the armchair and opened my laptop. So much had changed, and I was no longer sure of my decisions.
The first mistake, the biggest mistake, had been the contract.
