Lilith pov

I couldn’t cry.

M M

I desperately wanted to cry, but I couldn’t.

I once read in a book that when tragedy truly hits someone, the rst emotion they process is shock.

Then disbelief. Then hope that it isn’t true, that it’s just a dream. And finally, the brutal realization that it is real… and that you have no choice but to face it.

I guess I belonged to that category after all.

When I first heard about my father’s death on the battlefield, I didn’t cry. I didn’t react. I kept telling myself it was just a nightmare.

But it was only when I saw my mother’s unconscious body… with a bottle of wolfsbane lying beside her… that I had no choice but to accept the truth.

So maybe that was why…

Why, as Samuel uttered those words, I fell into a daze.

I didn’t

see anyone.

I didn’t feel anyone.

Not even when Silas, Lucien, and Claude looked at me with shock and hurt in their eyes.

Not even when Theila cried as she dressed me, her hands shaking.

Not even when we drove to the hospital.

And not even now… as I stood in front of the door, my dying mother on the other side, while everything around me seemed to blur.

I still couldn’t cry.

I couldn’t breathe.

I needed air.

I couldn’t do this. I couldn’t accept this.

After everything I had been through… after everything I had to do… after all those nights of crying myself to sleep, telling myself I had to endure, that it was all for her sake…

My sake.

My reason to keep living.

And now….

She had woken

up

after all.

But only to say goodbye.

Chapter 167

I couldn’t accept this.

This had to be a dream.

Why…?

Why do I have to lose everything? Why do I have to suffer? Why

“Lilith…”

I stiffened.

My heart began to race as I heard that voice, and without thinking, still trapped in my daze, I slowly turned.

Samuel was standing there, the Alphas beside him.

They were all staring at me.

There was pain in their eyes. Worry.

As if they had been through something like this themselves… as they knew exactly how much it hurt.

Behind them, Theila and Lora stood quietly, their heads lowered as though they were trying not to cry themselves.

“There isn’t much time left,” Samuel said gently.

He looked at me with quiet urgency before adding softly,

“Please enter… before it’s too late.”

That was all he said.

And when I heard his words, something inside me finally cracked.

Still, I gave him a nod. A small smile tugged at my lips, one that didn’t reach my eyes. I didn’t dare speak, afraid that if I did, my voice would come out as nothing more than a breathless whisper.

So instead, I turned around.

I took a deep, shaky breath.

Closed my eyes.

And then… I opened the door.

It creaked softly.

A gust of wind brushed past me, carrying a scent I knew too well the scent that had always felt like home.

But this time… it was stronger.

“Lilith…”

I heard it.

A voice I had longed to hear. A voice I had dreamed of countless imes.

My mother’s voice.

A tear fell before I even opened my eyes.

And when I finally did…

My mother stood near the window, dressed in her hospital gow Her face was pale, her body so thin it looked like a single gust of wind could knock her down. She seemed fragile, like she barely had enough strength left to remain standing.

Yet she was smiling

That same gentle, warm smile was directed at me as she looked me.

“Mom…”

The word slipped from my lips in a broken whisper, my voice ccking with disbelief as I stood frozen in place.

Then she spoke again.

This time her voice broke, tears sliding down her checks as she whispered back,

“My child…”

The moment she said that, something inside me snapped.

The haze in my mind shattered completely.

Air rushed violently into my lungs.

“MOM!”

The scream tore out of my throat before I even realized it.

My legs moved on their own as I ran toward her.

She lifted her arms toward me weakly.

And for a moment… time seemed to slow.

I ran across the room, tears falling like scattered droplets behind me, my vision blurred as I reached for her.

Then finally…

I wrapped my arms around her.

The impact made us both stumble, and the next second we fell

But neither of us cared.

the floor together.

I held her tightly, desperately, burying my face into her shoulder as my body shook violently.

And she held me just as tightly, refusing to let go as we cried.

We cried the words we wanted to say, cried the questions we wanted to ask, cried the apologies we wanted to give.

I cried because I was sorry… I was sorry because I had been selfis. I knew that I was.

Keeping her alive like this had been because I couldn’t let her go Because I knew that if she left me the way Dad did… I truly wouldn’t be able to go on living anymore.

Deep down, I knew that what she truly wanted all this time was

leave.

“I’m sorry…”

I whispered, my face completely buried in her shoulder, soaking her gown with tears as she wrapped her arms around me the

way she always used to whenever I was scared.

The whole room was silent except for our sobbing.

All eyes were on us.

“I’m sorry, Mom… it’s my fault, it’s all my fault. I couldn’t let you go: I was scared, Mom, I was really scared, I-”

“It’s not your fault.”

Before I could finish, my mother’s shaky voice cut me off.

Her arms tightened around me, and her trembling hand moved gently to stroke my head as she continued softly,

“It’s not your fault, Lilith. It’s my fault. I left you all alone. I didn think about what you would go through… I didn’t think about the pain you would carry after I was gone.”
