Instead, he stepped aside to let her through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exhaled a slow breath before heading out of the room and down the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far behind, Xenon trailed her. He wasn’t close enough to be intrusive, but not far enough that his presence went by unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t imagine just how worried they had been all this time. Asking him to let her out of his sight was too cruel, even for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As much as she would rather have done it alone, she knew this time, she had to let things be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took every ounce of will just to place one foot ahead of the other, but she kept moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xenon’s gaze burned into her back. It was clear he took note of her struggle, and a few times, he closed the distance by a fraction, getting just close enough to be in reach if she did fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he would only return to the previous distance when her steps were once again steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The halls of the Eclipse Palace were mostly deserted. Neveah guessed most of the staff had been sent away again, after the gruesome battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a time when the fate of the domain was most uncertain, the less people within palace grounds, the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Alphas visiting for the wedding, Neveah guessed if they had any sense, they would stay away from the main palace and reside in the guest palace until summoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Particularly because the winter wolves had taken residence in the Eclipse Palace, they far outnumbered the Eclipse wolves, and the tension between both sides was at an all time high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take too much to get an idea of the situation of things. Eclipse wolves and Winter wolves had a distinct smell to them, and so she knew exactly who was within the palace and who wasn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all of that were troubles for a different time. Someone had a good reign of the situation already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between Jian and King Nolan, there were more than enough reliable hands to keep the unruly Alphas in check. She wouldn’t have to get involved just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crossed paths with a few winter wolves on the way. She didn’t recognize most of them, but it seemed she was well known to them after the encounter at Fort Inferno.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stopped, bowing in greeting till she had passed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally outside the palace, she spared a glance around. The courtyard was still in a mess, though not as terrible as it had been during the execution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bodies had been taken away, and what was left of the guillotine was a black charred spot, courtesy of the massive shadow that circled the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t need to squint to recognize the beast. Rodvan’s scales glinted back at her, gleaming like steel in the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted a hand in a slight wave. It was the best she could muster and she knew he wouldn’t miss it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the courtyard was the hall where the bonding ritual had taken place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah’s heart constricted, and she didn’t dare look further. Turning on her heel, she headed down the side path leading around the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xenon still wasn’t far behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t long before she arrived at the side palace. Neveah paused for a moment, inhaling a breath of clean air, before she ventured in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stench hit almost instantly. Though she expected it, it still caught her off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah pursed her lips, resisting the urge to retch or plug her nostrils. That wouldn’t be of much help giving how sensitive her sense of smell was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated for just a moment, before going further in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xenon’s soundless footsteps kept pace with her, through the foyer and down the hallway leading to the room where she knew Vilma would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had only gotten to the door when Vilma’s voice greeted her, \"I wondered when you would come to make good on your promise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah turned the knob, pushing open the door. She kept her gaze averted from the cot, gritting her teeth even as the stench grew unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How Xenon remained unfazed, she wasn’t certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vilma sat at the table, stiffly. Her face gaunt, eyes hollow and haunted. A woman waiting for death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You kept your word.\" Neveah’s response was cold and blank, \"And I kept mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, our bargain is over.\" She finished. \"Naturally, I have come to collect the debt owed, mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vilma finally glanced over at Neveah. Her eyes searched Neveah’s for a moment and then a slow smile spread across her lips. \"Your memories have returned, I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That look in your eyes...\" She trailed off, \"So naive, yet so stubborn. It was what stood out the most about you, even when you were just a babe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah frowned. She hadn’t come here to reminisce. There was not a single pleasant memory she shared with Vilma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why...\" Neveah trailed off, \"Why did you feel the need to ruin me...and yourself over his mistakes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t sure why she wanted to know, but she did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vilma smiled slightly, \"What man is without his share of darkness? What man is completely blameless? The one guarding behind you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah’s fists clenched at her sides. There was not an ounce of remorse in Vilma’s tone, not a single regret in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’d been the same the last time. But then, Neveah hadn’t known the extent of the debt Vilma owed to her until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lothaire and Alessio had done their fair share of damage. They’d broken Neveah in body, but what had truly damaged her soul was precisely Vilma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was more than the numerous poison attempts, making her too wary to eat or drink, yet unable to bear the thought of starvation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than the spies planted all around her, rendering her incapable of trusting anyone, for fear of yet another betrayal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dread of every waking moment... the paranoia, the fear of the unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vilma had broken her in ways not even Alessio had dreamed of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet she wanted Neveah to believe she’d done it for love? That somehow, Lothaire’s unattainable love was worth... everything?\u003C\u002Fp>",1037,"2026-06-05T21:38:49.439Z",1,"novelbin.me","5a75d01a8cb10bf53d75071ac75504438d3fbe69087e625e9867d9f47cbf6204","omega-s-rebirth-chapter-893","omega-s-rebirth-chapter-891",929,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fomega-s-rebirth-cover.jpg"]
