Chapter 65 The Wolf Cub Licked His Hand
“Hahahaha, that was brilliant.”
“If I were Harold, I’d be mad enough to die laughing. No, just die.”
“Keep it down. Don’t scare the kid.”
In the end, Orion’s wrist terminal made a full round through the room.
Everyone replayed Harold and Helen’s stiff expressions after the sticker appeared, then watched them force smiles and end the livestream.
Caleb and the others nearly laughed themselves out of military discipline.
As for StarNet, it had gone completely feral.
Countless people flooded Orion’s StarBlog, asking whether the general was celebrating his freedom. Others were bolder and said the general clearly had not cared about Helen at all.
Julian used the chaos to quietly move closer to Orion.
“Orion Ashford Mulholland?”
“Mm.”
Julian’s breath went lighter.
Then he asked in an even softer voice, “General Mulholland?”
Orion gave a low laugh.
was bad.
is mind replayed the messages he had sent over the past two days.
“General Mulholland got cheated on.”
“General Mulholland finally came to his senses.”
Julian suddenly felt his place in Moonridge Sect might not be secure anymore.
Still, a person had to fight for survival.
So he reached out, patted Orion on the shoulder, and tried to comfort him

“It’s fine. It’s fine. If one Omega is gone, you can find another. But if your conscience is gone…”
Orion raised a brow, clearly waiting for the rest.
Julian glanced at the screen, where Helen was leaving with Harold.
Then he finished sincerely, “You can find lot more.”
Orion said nothing.
Julian blinked.
Maybe silence was safer.

Fortunately, the Alpha beside him did not seem angry. Orion only took back his wrist terminal from Caleb.
“Give Julian the new terminal. His old data should be transferred by now.”
Caleb smiled at Julian and immediately had someone bring it over.
Julian’s old wrist terminal was a secondhand device bought on a fringe colony.
It was too easy to hack and monitor.
So Orion had replaced it for him with a secure military wrist terminal.
That was also why Julian had been using Orion’s terminal just now, and why he had accidentally sent that sticker from Orion’s account.
“Thank you.”
Julian accepted the new terminal without much interest in exploring it.
Orion and the officers had finished that round of discussion, which meant the real meeting was about to begin.
Julian lowered his eyes to the wolf cub in his arms.
Ever since he woke, Ruin had refused to leave him. Every now and then, it rubbed its furry face against
him.
Julian thought again of Zerath.
Perhaps Ruin sensed it.
The little wolf stretched out its tongue and licked his palm.
The warm touch made Julian’s hand itch.
He quickly lifted Ruin up and stared straight into those emerald vertical pupils, so similar to someone else’s.

Awoo.
The wolf cub gave a soft lule cry.
Ethan and the others nearly burst out laughing.
Even Orion turned his head and coughed wice, trying to hide the embarrassment of his spirit form acting so clingy.
Only Quentin Zane, both hands in his coat pockets and chin held high, spoke without mercy.
“Still staring at it? Treat it soon, or it’s going to fall apart. Then we’ll see how cute you think it is.”
At his words, everyone finally looked carefully at Ruin.
Because the wolf had shrunk, the tiny cracks hidden beneath its silver fur became easier to see.
Those cracks clung to the once-mighty wolf king like parasites.
Ruin could only lie weakly across Julian’s lap, as if one wrong touch might break it.
As Orion’s spirit form, Ruin reflected the state of Orion’s psychic sea.
So despite Orion sitting calmly on the couch, despite him looking like the most stable person in the room, the truth was brutal.
Every second, the Brood Mother’s psychic toxin was corroding his psychic sea.
Every second, his psychic sea was tearing, cracking, collapsing, and being forced together again.
