Chapter 134: Truth Unveiled
(Marcus Blackwood’s POV)
Sophia Rivers screamed at me as I walked away without looking back. “Marcus Blackwood! You betrayed me first! You mated another she–wolf, you betrayed me!”
Her voice cracked with desperation and rage. “Elena Blackwood’s fate is all because of you! It’s your fault!”
I stopped at my Shadow Moon Alpha’s Phantom Rolls–Royce. My Alpha presence commanded the air around me as my golden eyes turned deep and cold.
“Silence her,” I ordered my Elite Guards coldly.
As Sophia was gagged by the guards, I carried Elena into the car. Her body felt so fragile in my arms,
breathing shallow from the silver poisoning.

“Amber, stay behind to handle Sophia’s situation,” L–instructed. “Driver, rush to the hospital immediately.”
The car sped through the night as I held Elena close. Her pale face made my chest tighten with fear I’d never
experienced before.
At the Northern Territory Central Healing Institute emergency healing bay, I carried Elena onto a medical stretcher. Healing staff cleared the way straight to the emergency treatment chamber.
The emergency doors closed in my face, stopping me outside. I staggered back a few steps and sat on a bench, my hands shaking as I stared at those closed doors.
Soon, a pack nurse came out. “Are the patient’s family members here?”
I stood up immediately. “I’m her mate. What’s wrong?”
The nurse’s expression was grave. “The patient has rare Lunar–negative blood type, and we don’t have enough Lunar–negative blood reserves in our blood bank.”
I was suddenly stunned. “What did you say?”
Elena had Lunar–negative blood? But I had seen David Blackthorne’s medical records showing he had type B
blood. Neither Richard nor Patricia Blackthorne had Lunar–negative blood according to their pack records.
“We need a donor with the same Lunar–negative blood type,” the nurse continued. “Please contact her family
immediately.”
After a moment of silence, I made a phone call. Fifteen minutes later, Amber Stone arrived with a blood donor
who happened to have Lunar–negative blood type.
After the nurse took the donor for transfusion, Amber Stone approached me. “The Blackthorne family doesn’t
have Lunar–negative blood, so how could the Luna have…”
I remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, “Perhaps, she’s not the Blackthorne family’s child.”
Amber Stone was shocked. “She wasn’t actually the Blackthorne family’s daughter?”

Chapter 134 Truth Unveil
Just as Marcus Blackwood’s vehicle departed, Hugo Ashworth’s car arrived. The two cars passed each other
in the night.
Hugo’s car stopped outside the abandoned distillery. He only saw Marcus’s Elite Guards cleaning up the
scene.
When he got out of the car, Amber Stone stood by the vehicle. “Young Master Ashworth, you’re too late.”
Hugo’s clenched fist slowly relaxed as his gaze fell on some blood stains on the ground. “Whose blood!”
“Our Luna’s,” Amber Stone replied.
His expression darkened. “Who did this?”
“Young Master Ashworth should ask your mother instead,” Amber Stone responded. “I think Lady Ashworth might know something about this.”
After saying this, Amber Stone got into the car. Both vehicles slowly drove away, leaving Hugo standing alone
in the darkness.
At the Ashworth family estate, under the deep night sky, Evelyn Ashworth came downstairs holding her silver Persian cat. She encountered Hugo in the foyer.
She smiled gently. “Hugo, you finally came home? Are you hungry? I’ll have someone prepare a late–night
meal for you.”
He remained unmoved. “Why did you target Elena Blackwood?”
Evelyn’s smile stiffened slightly as she put the cat on the sofa. “You came back just for an outsider?”
“Answer me!” Hugo’s tone became heavier.
A pack servant in the kitchen heard the commotion and hurried out. The tense atmosphere between mother
and son was palpable.
After a long standoff, Evelyn softened first. “I just locked her up to teach her a lesson.”
“At that abandoned distillery in the outskirts?”
“Yes.”
He gritted his teeth. “Just locked her up?”
Evelyn was confused. “You already have someone you’re interested in, so why bother with other she–wolves‘
affairs?”

Hugo frowned. “What do you mean I have someone I’m interested in?”
Evelyn was surprised. “Isn’t that so? That Ashworth pack member said you seemed to have taken an interest in a she–wolf recently, someone in your profession.”

She continued, “Sophia Rivers is also a healer, and she admitted it herself. Could it be false?”

At these words, Hugo’s expression became meaningful and chillingly cold. After a moment, he laughed.
“If I were interested in her, would I have ignored her for three days?”
Evelyn sat on the sofa, her face extremely pale. “It’s not her?”
Hugo, having guessed the answer, turned to leave.

Evelyn called after him. “You don’t need to go there yourself so late at night. I’ll have the pack guards release
her now…
He stopped at the door and turned back. “If she had to wait until now, she would have died from silver poisoning long ago.”
Hearing the sound of the car engine leaving the estate grounds, Evelyn frowned and called the driver. “When you took that she–wolf to the distillery, you didn’t do anything, right?”
The driver replied, “Lady Ashworth, we didn’t do anything. You said to cooperate with Miss Rivers, so we brought the person there and left. Everything after that should have been handled by Miss Rivers.”
Evelyn immediately understood. She had been manipulated by a younger

she–wolf.
The next morning, Elena woke up in the hospital recovery ward to see me resting with my eyes closed beside her bed. I wore only a gray shirt with my jacket draped over the chair back and sleeves rolled up
My head was slightly lowered, my right hand still gently holding the back of her left hand.
When Elena tried to speak, her throat felt itchy and she coughed. Instinctively raising her bandaged right
hand, the pain made her groan.
I woke up and leaned toward her. “What’s wrong? Does the wound still hurt?”
“I’m thirsty
I got up to pour warm water, then pressed the remote to raise the bed head so she could sit up. I brought the cup to her lips.
She supported the cup bottom with her left hand. “I can do it myself.
I didn’t insist.
Jane burst through the door but seeing me there, awkwardly retreated. “I’ll come see you later!”
I took the cup and asked, “Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?”
Elena leaned against the pillow, looking out the window. “Anything is fine.”
I pressed my lips together and stood up. “I’ll go make a phone call.”
In a private healing clinic in the outskirts, Sophia’s cries echoed from the end of the corridor. She was
restrained on an operating table where, without anesthesia, the tendons in her right hand were severed by a
rogue healer.

After fainting and being forcibly awakened, she was tortured until she could barely feel her right hand’s existence or even pain. She stared numbly at the ceiling, only mumbling about wanting to see me.
When the clinic healer brought Amber Stone and me into the room, my face showed no emotion at Sophia’s pitiful state.
Unable to move, tears rolled from her eyes. “Marcus… Marcus, you clearly said you would protect me. Why… you’ve changed?”
With others retreating to the doorway, only Sophia and I remained in the bright operating room. I looked at the slowly dripping moonlight herb IV, my expression unchanged.

“Should I continue protecting you while you commit crimes and attempt murder?”
She continued her hysterical self–defense. “I didn’t kill anyone, it was all an accident!”
“Does it matter?” I looked down at the person on the operating table. “Sophia, I know I owed you for ten years of friendship, but I’ve repaid what needed to be repaid.”
I continued, “Even your son Oliver, I haven’t treated badly. But what about you? What have you done in my
name?”
I laughed coldly, self–mockingly. “I never knew that someone I’d known for ten years was a viper.”
Calling her a viper, Sophia laughed through her tears. “If I weren’t like this, I would have died long ago. You know what kind of person my adoptive father was.”
She continued desperately, “I don’t know what self–sacrifice means; I only know that selfishness protects me.
At least before I met you, I lived in hell on earth.”
“Marcus, I keep thinking, if you had marked me six years ago, would we have been happy? Would I not have
ended up like this today? Marcus, answer me!”
After a long silence, I said calmly, “I should be grateful I didn’t mark you.”
She froze, her face growing paler. “What do you mean?”
“Do you really
love.
She choked, her breathing stopping.
Ismiled. “Six years ago, you accepted my grandmother’s ten million because you were pregnant, right?”
Sophia’s body trembled as she stammered, “How did you…”
“Riverside City District Healing Center, you were there six years ago.” My eyes were cold and emotionless.
“You have registration records, ten weeks pregnant, registered for moonlight herb treatments to prevent
miscarriage.”
I continued, “You were pregnant when we hadn’t ended our relationship and I had never touched you, so who
really betrayed whom?”
If not for Elena mentioning.her cold constitution and my wanting to help regulate her body during
hospitalization by visiting the supernatural medicine department, I would never have discovered this. Six years ago, Sophia had registered at the district healing center’s supernatural medicine department with my
name as the emergency contact.
Sophia cried harder. “It’s not like that… I wasn’t willing, Marcus, I was forced!”
“Would someone forced want to prevent miscarriage?” I scoffed, unmoved. “But the answer doesn’t matter
anymore. There’s no more debt or affection between us.”

As I turned to leave, Sophia shouted, “Don’t you want to know who saved you when you were kidn*pped years ago!”
