“You have no right to take Kim away from here,” Doctor Catina snapped, her voice sharp with feigned authority as she stepped forward, eyes blazing. “He’s just starting to recover.”

Snow nodded calmly, unflinching.

“He’ll recover even better at Castle Healthcare.”

She turned to leave, but Catina lunged, grabbing her arm with surprising force. Before I could close the distance to intervene, Snow shoved her off with a swift, decisive twist, her glare so cold it could freeze blood.

“You should prepare to hear from my lawyer,” Snow said, voice low and lethal. “I’ll make sure you rot in the perfect hell you deserve, Catina.”

She didn’t wait for a response, just turned on her heel and strode toward the ambulance attendants waiting with the stretcher.

“You’ll need to sign here,” the lead paramedic said, holding out a clipboard. “We’re taking him into care per H.O.W.L. protocol?”

Snow nodded, weariness etching faint lines around her eyes, as if she were barely holding the fragments of herself together.

“Yes. And list his guardian as my brother, Eshan Frost. I’ll notify him.”

The forms were signed quickly. When it was time to go, she glanced back at me, those storm- gray eyes softened for a moment and walked over without hesitation.

She stepped straight into my arms, and I wrapped her up tenderly, feeling the faint tremor running through her.

She was troubled, shattered in ways she hadn’t yet voiced, but this wasn’t the moment to pry.

I pressed a soft kiss to her cheek as she pulled back, exhaling shakily.

“I should follow Kim to the hospital,” she murmured.

“I’ll come with you,” I said immediately.

She shook her head, a tired but grateful smile ghosting across her lips.

“It’s late. You need rest.” She swallowed, glancing briefly at Desmond. “Besides, you’re not

me”

Every instinct screamed to protest, to keep her dose where I could shield her from whatever storm was brewing But I saw the quiet resolve in her eyes. She needed space to process, to stand on her own for this part.

I nodded reluctantly. She smiled faintly, shifted her gaze to Desmond leaning against the car, and gave him a small, respectful bow in farewell

Then the climbed into the ambulance, the doors closing with a heavy thud as red lights flashed into the night.

I watched until they vanished around the corner silence settling like a shroud.

The asylum grounds slowly emptied, staff dispersing, police arriving to secure the scene. I turned, mind already racing ahead.

Was this enough to finally drag Feroz into the light?

“Did she have some kind of intuition or something?” Desmond’s voice pulled me back, low and thoughtful.

I shook my head, jaw tight.

“I don’t know. I just… I’m worried about her.” A heavy sigh escaped me as I slid into the driver’s seat. Desmond joined me in the passenger side.

“Now what?”

“What else? We go home.”

I pulled away from the asylum and drove into the quiet, snow–dusted streets toward Godlike Pack.

The estate gates parted silently as we approached, the familiar sprawl of the compound bathed in late–night shadows.

I was stepping out beneath the star–pricked sky when I spotted her. Almira rushing out toward the driveway, silhouette frantic against the floodlights. I froze for a heartbeat at her sudden presence.

“Do you, uh… have the flash drive ready? The one showing my visit with Karfey Mantis?” I asked Desmond quietly.

He nodded.

“Get it for me. Time to show Almira she has no reason to threaten us with suicide. We clear the air once and for all.”

I stepped forward to meet her, keeping a few respectful paces at first. She didn’t rush into my arms like she usually might have, arms wrapped tight around herself instead.

I closed the distance gently, pressed a soft kiss to her temple, and guided her back toward the house.

Desmond disappeared inside to retrieve the drive while I walked Almira to her bedroom. We sat on the edge of her bed in heavy silence.

“Hi,” she said finally, voice small.

“Hi,” I answered, offering a soft, reassuring smile.

She searched my eyes tenderly, words seeming to fail her, then leaned in to kiss my cheek. When she pulled back, quiet plea shone in her gaze.

“Cupid… don’t fight with Mom… and Dad.”

The words sank straight into my heart. For her, for the fragile peace she needed, I’d do anything. I nodded without hesitation.

The door opened then; Desmond returned with the flash drive. I took it, plugged it into my phone, and angled the screen so Almora could see clearly.

“Remember when I went to settle the debt with Karfey Mantis, for Yenda, for you?”

“Yes,” she whispered. “I swore I’d harm myself if you killed for me. You promised evidence you didn’t.”

I nodded and hit play.

The footage rolled. My conversation with Karfey, the deal struck without bloodshed, my departure. Almira exhaled in visible relief, tension melting from her shoulders.

I moved to pull the drive, mission accomplished. but something caught my eye.

The watch had been lost at the airport that night and I retrieved it later from Viviana, Snow’s sister. It must have kept recording in her possession.
