Chapter 457

ROMAN

“Mom.”

The word broke out of me before I could stop it.

Weak… shaky.

Almost unfamiliar against my own tongue.

The memories came flooding back all at once.

Everything.

My head snapped upward as another violent wave slammed into me so hard I cried out under my breath.

My hands gripped my head harder, as if I could physically hold myself together.

But it was too late.

The memories were already pouring in.

Fast.

I saw home.

Not the blurry, disconnected images from before.

My actual home.

Stonevale.

The pack house, the long hallways.

The walls, the smell.

I saw myself walking through the place.

Talking to servants.

Crossing paths with warriors.

Existing there naturally, like I belonged.

The realization alone nearly destroyed me

Then suddenly… I saw my father.

Standing near the training grounds with his arms folded while watching warriors spar.

Tall.

Powerful.

His eyes exactly like mine.

Only now I understood where I got them from.

He turned slightly in the memory, spotting me immediately, before a rare smile crossed his

face.

“Roman.”

My throat tightened painfully.

I remembered his voice.

I remembered it.

I physically doubled over as tears continued spilling uncontrollably down my face.

More memories kept coming. I saw myself sitting at the large dining table between my parents while servants moved around us.

My mother was speaking about something softly while my father listened with that same calm expression he always carried.

I remembered the warmth.

The safety.

The feeling of belonging.

That hurt more than anything else.

Because it was real.

It had all been real.

I wasn’t abandoned.

I wasn’t unwanted… I had a family.

I had parents who loved me.

And they were taken from me.

My chest tightened so violently it physically hurt.

I remembered turning the corner.

And then… I saw them.

My parents.

On the floor, motionless.

Blood everywhere.

A broken sound escaped my throat as the memory became painfully vivid.

I remembered screaming.

I remembered dropping to my knees beside them, trying to shake them awake, even though deep down I already knew.

The horror.

The confusion. I remembered how I was crying so hard I could barely see.

How the panic took over. I remembered running.

Running through the halls, desperately trying to find help.

Anyone.

And then-

Darren.

I froze where I was on my bedroom floor as that part of the memory sharpened fully.

I saw him clearly now.

Standing there in the corridor.

Perfectly calm.

Perfectly composed.

Like he had been expecting me.

I remembered grabbing onto him immediately.

“Uncle Darren,” I heard myself saying desperately. “Something happened-”

My breathing shook violently.

“They’re dead,” I choked out before him. “Mom and Dad are dead-

Darren smiled.

He didn’t look shocked.

He smiled. The same cold, dangerous smile that now made my stomach twist violently.

“I know,” he said calmly.

My heart slammed painfully against my ribs.

The memory continued mercilessly.

I remembered staring at him in confusion.

Not understanding.

Not wanting to understand.

Then Darren looked me in the eyes.

And his eyes were cold, cruel, and satisfied.

“You killed them,” he told me softly.

The words hit me like a physical blow even now.

I physically recoiled against the floor of my room.

But the memory didn’t stop.

“You’re cursed,” Darren continued in that same calm voice. “No wolf, unstable, and dangerous.”

I remembered shaking my head violently through tears.

I remembered trying to tell him I didn’t do anything.

But Darren just kept staring at me.

Watching me panic.

Watching me break apart.

Then he leaned closer and said the words that truly shattered everything.

“No one will question it.”

A strangled sound left my throat.

Because now

Now I understood everything the accusations, the isolation.

The way people looked at me afterward

The whispers, the hatred

And somehow, that realization broke the final thing holding me together.

The pressure inside my body suddenly surged violently.

Not just in my head anymore.

Everywhere.

I gasped sharply as something deep inside me snapped awake.

It wasn’t pain this time.

It was power

Raw, violent

And alive

My eyes widened as heat rushed through my veins so intensely it almost burned.

Then I felt it

My wolf

Fully awake.

My bones shifted painfully beneath my skin.

My breathing turned wild instantly. My vision changed.

And suddenly…

I couldn’t stay in this room anymore.

i couldn’t breathe in here.

Couldn’t think

Couldn’t contain whatever was happening inside me.

Then instinct took over completely.

Before i even consciously decided to move

I launched straight through the window.
