Chapter 186: Blood and Broken Bonds

(Third person’s POV)

“Blood…” Lily’s lips trembled, unable to form a coherent sentence. “So much blood… suicide… jumping…”

Her face was ghostly pale. Her hands shook uncontrollably as she gripped the doorframe.

I felt my amber eyes widen with horror. The scent of death seemed to permeate the hospital corridor through my heightened werewolf senses.

My wolf instincts recoiled violently. Something terrible had happened in this place of healing.

“Lily, what did you see?” Rebecca asked urgently, standing up from her chair.

But Lily couldn’t answer. She just stood there trembling, her usual cheerful demeanor completely shattered. Just then, Ethan Quinn rushed into the ward. His face was grim as he took the terrified Lily into his arms. “It’s okay,” he whispered softly, his voice carrying gentle pack bonds. “You’re safe now.”

Lily clutched his collar desperately. Tears streamed down her face as she buried her head against his chest.

I felt a wave of guilt wash over me. I had let her go out to investigate the disturbance.

My protective instincts as an Alpha’s daughter made me blame myself. I should have kept my friend safe from witnessing such trauma.

“This is my fault,” I said quietly. “I shouldn’t have let you go alone.”

Ethan Quinn looked at me over Lily’s head. His expression was equally grave as he took a deep breath.

“Olivia,” he said carefully. “William Rivers jumped to his death from the hospital rooftop.”

The words hit me like a physical blow. My wolf whimpered in distress at the news.

“What?” Rebecca gasped, her hand flying to her mouth.

Ethan’s voice grew even more somber. “The news caused Eleanor Rivers‘ heart condition to flare up fatally.” “The pack matriarch died from the shock,” he continued. “Her wolf couldn’t survive the loss of her son.”

I felt the blood drain from my face. Two deaths in one day. The Rivers pack was being torn apart. “How is Connor?” I asked immediately, my mate bond stirring with worry.

Ethan shook his head grimly. “He’s handling the aftermath alone. Gerald Rivers is in Europe on werewolf council business.”

Connor Rivers received the news of William Rivers‘ suicide shortly after returning to the Rivers Pack Mansion. The timing was devastating.

William had committed suicide almost immediately after Connor refused to let him meet with Frederick Warner one final time. The guilt would be crushing.

The Rivers pack quickly sealed off the news from other territories. They couldn’t afford to show weakness to rival packs.

Gerald Rivers was in Europe and wouldn’t be back for weeks. Connor was left to handle this devastating aftermath completely alone.

The weight of leadership had fallen entirely on his shoulders. Two family members dead in one day.

Back in my ward, I was unable to sleep. The shocking events troubled me deeply.

He was grief–stricken, his powerful frame hunched with sorrow. His wolf was howling silently in anguish. “He is dead,” Connor said to the empty air. “There will never be another chance in this life to make things right between us.”
