Chapter 223: Her Retribution?
(Elena’s POV)
I walked to the terrace with my phone pressed to my ear. “What did you say?”
Rachel Thompson’s voice came through in a hushed whisper. She was clearly hiding in a
corner, almost covering the microphone with her hand.
“Sophia Rivers has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment by the Southern
Territory Pack Enforcement Division,” she said urgently. “She suffered a ruptured spleen with
massive bleeding and a concussion. She was just resuscitated and is now in the intensive healing ward.”
I gripped the terrace railing, processing this unexpected information.
“Pack enforcement officers are guarding the ward,” Rachel continued. “When I went in, I
noticed she was indeed severely injured, even suffering from incontinence. What’s strange is
that she was supposed to be detained. How could this have happened?”
I frowned, unsure of the situation myself. This could be another of Sophia’s schemes–a desperate ploy to get bail. But self–inflicted plans that involved sending oneself to the emergency healing bay were rare in the werewolf world. The injuries Rachel described
sounded far too severe to be self–inflicted.
“Could this be her retribution?” Rachel suddenly exclaimed, her voice rising slightly before
she caught herself. “Remember how she did the same thing to your foster brother David? And now it’s happened to her–perhaps this is what she deserves.”
I was slightly stunned by Rachel’s words. Was it really just desserts? The symmetry was
undeniable–David had been beaten in detention under Sophia’s orchestration, and now she
had suffered the same fate.
But I didn’t believe this was merely an accident. The timing was too coincidental.
After ending the call, I noticed Mrs. Harrison coming out onto the terrace, wrapped in an
elegant shawl against the evening chill.
“Are you leaving, dear?” she asked, her eyes kind but perceptive.
I nodded and offered a polite smile. “Yes. Thank you for your hospitality today.”

Mrs. Harrison took my hand in hers, her grip warm and reassuring. “You’re welcome to come every day if you wish,” she said with a genuine smile.
(Sophia’s POV)
When I woke up, I couldn’t move my body. My left ear seemed blocked, unable to hear anything. Pain radiated through every inch of my being.
“What’s wrong with my ear?” I asked, struggling to get up despite the agony shooting through
my torso.
A pack nurse rushed over and gently but firmly held me down. “Miss Rivers, you can’t get up
yet!”
Panic surged through me. I grabbed the nurse’s arm with surprising strength, my fingers digging into her flesh.
“Why can’t I hear with one ear!” I screamed hysterically, my voice cracking with desperation.
My emotions spiraled out of control. The pack enforcement officers stationed outside rushed in upon hearing the commotion and quickly separated me from the terrified nurse.
“I can’t hear with my ear! It’s all their fault, they did it on purpose-” I screamed, feeling the veins in my neck bulging. My entire face flushed red with exertion and rage.
“Officer, they had premeditation! There must be someone behind them giving orders!” I was beyond rational thought now, grasping at any explanation. “It must be Elena, yes, it must be
her!”
The officers exchanged glances before one stepped forward with a calming gesture.
“You need to calm down first,” he said firmly. “Do you have any other pack members or family? We can allow your family to come and accompany you now.”
At the mention of family members, a cold glint flashed in my eyes. I had no real family to
speak of. But then I thought of someone and bit my lip.
“Yes!” I said, a desperate hope kindling within me.

I returned to the hotel and stopped in front of Marcus’s bedroom door. My hand hovered over the handle as I considered my suspicions. Although I didn’t really think it was him, but…
The door suddenly opened, and Secretary stood there, looking slightly surprised to see me.

“Luna Elena,” he greeted with a respectful nod.

I peered past him into the room. Marcus sat on the sofa wearing a suit jacket, with
documents spread across his crossed knees. His shirt collar was unbuttoned, open to the
chest. The light filtering through the white curtains behind him cast his face in a soft glow.
Secretary stepped aside to let me in. Marcus closed the documents in his hands and looked
up at me.
“Is there something?” he asked, his voice low and hoarse.
I pressed my lips together, gathering my thoughts before speaking. “Was Sophia being sent to the intensive healing ward your doing?”
He paused, lowered his eyelids, and asked, “Do you hope it was me?”
I didn’t answer. The question hung in the air between us, loaded with implications.
Marcus leaned back in his chair and smiled faintly. “It wasn’t me.”
I studied his face carefully but couldn’t detect anything unusual in his expression. As I turned
to leave, he called out to me.
“If it were me, what would you do?”
My steps faltered. I turned back to face him, my expression neutral.
“Nothing would happen,” I said simply.
(Sophia’s POV)
The next day, I lay in my hospital bed, waiting anxiously for Hazel Green’s phone call. The
pack enforcement officers took turns guarding the intensive healing ward, and in my current
state, I didn’t even have a chance to escape.
I could only place my hopes on Hazel. She had to help me–she owed me that much after
everything I’d done for her.
Soon, another enforcement officer approached my bed. Hope immediately lit up in my eyes.
“Has she come?” I asked eagerly.
The officer’s expression remained professionally neutral. “Miss Rivers, are you sure she’s
your pack member? We sent someone to ask, and she said she has no pack relationship with
you whatsoever.”

These words completely extinguished my hope. The betrayal cut deeper than any physical
wound.
“How is that possible…” I murmured, my voice barely audible. “She clearly said she would
help me…”
