Chapter 119 Elevator Malfunction

Amanda’s POV:

30 Free Coins

After school, I walked to the gate and spotted Derrick’s car parked by the curb. Ever since we returned from Ziecson, I’d been avoiding Samson. I had been asking Derrick to give me a ride home.

“Give me your backpack,” Derrick said as he got out, taking it from me and opening the passenger door like a gentleman.

His scent was calm and steady, not as overpowering as Samson’s.

The car was quiet once we got in. Derrick tried to start a conversation. “How was training camp today?”

“It was fine,” I said softly, watching the streets slide past the window. My thoughts drifted to the translation job invitation sent by Samson. I still hadn’t replied. I just wanted to avoid anything that had to do with him.

When we pulled into the underground garage beneath the castle, we headed to the elevator together. As soon as Derrick pressed the floor button, the elevator shook, the lights flickered, and then everything went black.

“What’s going on?” The sudden darkness swallowed me whole, triggering the claustrophobia buried deep inside me. Memories from years ago are flashing through my mind.

My fingers trembled as I pounded on the elevator door. My body shook uncontrollably, cold sweat beading on my forehead.

“Probably just a malfunction,” Derrick said, trying to sound calm. “I’ll call someone from the house to fix it.”

But I couldn’t hear him clearly. The dark felt alive, like icy hands tightening around my chest, crushing the air out of me.

Inside my mind, Alice screamed, “Amanda! Stay calm! Your claustrophobia’s triggered! The sigil can’t hold back your Alpha aura much longer!”

I felt the sigil on my wrist burning hot. Alice was thrashing inside me, wild and uncontrollable. The sigil barely kept my identity from bursting free.

“N-No… I can’t,” My teeth chattered. My voice was weak. My body gave out, and I collapsed to the floor.

My mind blurred. My limbs jerked uncontrollably. Memories from the past flooded back.

“Hey! What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Derrick’s voice came from somewhere above me. He crouched down, trying to hold me, but I couldn’t answer. I could only gasp, my chest heaving in pain.

From outside, I heard servants shouting, but the elevator doors wouldn’t budge. The sigil on my wrist grew hotter. My Alpha power was breaking free. And through the haze, one desperate thought ran in my mind. Don’t let it show. Whatever happens, don’t let it show.

Chapter 119 Elevator Malfunction

Derrick’s POV

“Mr. Derrick, are you okay?” The servant’s voice came through the elevator door, filled with panic.

I looked down at Amanda sprawled on the floor, words catching in my throat for the first time. “Open the door now! Hurry!”
