Chapter 352\u00a0<\/p>\n
Riley\u2019s POV\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
The thermos hit the ground with a loud clang, hot soup bursting from its mouth in every direction. Some of it splashed straight onto Mia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her scream pierced the air, high and sharp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I turned my head in time to see her stumble back, pain, and angry welts had already begun to form.\u00a0<\/p>\n
utching her red, blistering arm. Her face twisted in\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMia!\u201d My vision went red. Fury roared in my chest, hotter than any scalding soup ever could. I didn\u2019t think. I just moved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The apple on the nightstand was heavy in my hand, but not nearly as heavy as the hatred building inside\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hurled it with all the force I had..\u00a0<\/p>\n
It struck Maddox squarely in the shoulder, and he jerked backward a step.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGET OUT!\u201d I screamed, voice shaking with rage. \u201cI never want to see your face again!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His expression shifted-first disbelief, then something uglier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou want me to leave?\u201d His tone turned sharp, mocking. \u201cYou think you have the right to tell me anything?\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took a step closer, face darkening. \u201cI protected you, Riley. All your life. When you were bullied at the Ebonclaw, who fought for you? When you cried, who wiped your tears? You wanted fruit, I brought it. I gav you everything I had! What have you ever done for me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I trembled-part rage, part disgust. \u201cYou think that earns you the right to hurt me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI made you who you are!\u201d he snarled. \u201cBack in that pack, you were just a scared little girl until I stood up fo you. You didn\u2019t tell me to leave then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He took another step.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My hands closed around the handle of the fruit knife in the basket.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t come closer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He froze, eyes narrowing on the blade. \u201cRiley, you\u2019ve lost your mind. You\u2019d really use that on me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI am mad. Because you made me this way!\u201d I shouted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The knife trembled in my hand, but I held it between us like a shield. My breathing was ragged. My pulse roared in my ears like a storm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And then it happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Something inside me snapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
MUI, DEC 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 352\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
My vision blurred-not from tears, but from the sudden surge of something ancient and wild. It started in my chest, spreading out like wildfire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My skin burned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My limbs locked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pain wracked through my bones like they were being broken and rebuilt all at once. My scream echoed through the room-half-human, half-beast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maddox stepped back, eyes wide. \u201cWhat the hell-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then I wasn\u2019t Riley anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I shifted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fur exploded across my body, white as snow and glowing under the flickering hospital lights. My bones cracked, reshaping, stretching, snapping into something massive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A snow-white wolf, twice the size of a normal one, now stood in the middle of the room-my fur bristling, my eyes glowing silver.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maddox stumbled, genuine fear now replacing his arrogance. \u201cR-Riley?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I snarled and lunged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My claws raked across his chest, slicing through his shirt and skin like paper. He crashed into the IV stand with a gasp, blood blooming through the fabric.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRiley, stop-!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another strike. Another growl. I didn\u2019t care what he had to say. He wanted to see the monster? Fine. Let him meet the white wolf cursed to live in chains.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My jaws snapped near his throat, just enough to make him scream. He scrambled back, slipping on the spilled soup, crawling toward the door like the coward he was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re\u2026 one of them\u2026\u201d he gasped. \u201cA highblood\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could\u2019ve ended it. Could\u2019ve torn him apart for every betrayal. Every lie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But something held me back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t a killer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And then-my strength wavered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rush of power that had surged through me now started draining fast. My legs buckled. My vision dimmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maddox had already fled, his blood marking a trail on the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pop\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stumbles. The pain of the shift damning th\u1ea3o my monedes Bones ating bar & ber\u00a0<\/p>\n
My knees hit the cold floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And then aFTW\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mia\u2019s arms\u00a0<\/p>\n
She caught me before I collapsed fully, wrapping herself and my sake, shaking frate with seating\u00a0<\/p>\n
tiley!\u201d she cried. \u201cStay with me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I tried to answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But darkness swallowest me whole\u00a0<\/p>\n
