Chapter 100 – The Truth She Can No Longer Deny
POV: Liora
I stopped running from the memories.
Not because I was brave.
Not because I had accepted them.
Because I was tired.
Tired of fighting things that refused to disappear.
Tired of pretending I could ignore voices that lived inside my head.
Tired of convincing myself that everything would somehow return to normal if I simply waited long enough.
Nothing about my life was normal anymore.
The sooner I accepted that, the better.
The fortress was quiet that evening.
Most wolves had already retreated to their quarters, leaving the corridors nearly empty. I found myself wandering without purpose, moving through familiar hallways while my thoughts drifted elsewhere.
Eventually, my feet carried me to one of the highest balconies overlooking the mountains.
The view should have calmed me.
Usually it did.
Tonight, however, my attention remained fixed inward.
The memories had been unusually active all day.
