Chapter 8 The next three days were the longest nightmare of Claire's life . She was shoved , insulted , and even deliberately tripped , causing her knee to scrape painfully , bleeding profusely . No one tended to her wounds , and no one offered her a sip of clean water . She curled up in a corner , gritting her teeth and counting the time . In three days , she would be free . On the evening of the third day , the iron door finally creaked open . Aaron stood at the door , the light behind him casting a shadow over his face , making it impossible for Claire to read his expression . It wasn't until he approached that his heart seemed to tremble slightly . " What happened ? " Claire's clothes were so dirty they no longer resembled their original color , and her arms and knees were covered in bruises and scrapes . Her lips had dried blood on them . Sophie immediately clung to Aaron's arm , speaking sweetly , " Luna must have hurt herself on purpose , pretending to be pitiful . " She pouted , " What's the big deal with being locked up for a few days ? " Aaron stared at Claire for a few seconds before finally speaking coldly , " Claire , haven't you had enough ? " Claire forced a smile , no strength left to explain . Back at the pack house , Aaron surprisingly didn't leave right away . He sat on the sofa and calmly announced , " From now on , I'll be with you on Mondays and Tuesdays , and the rest of the time , I'll be with Sophie . " Claire stood at the top of the stairs , silent . " Today's Wednesday , I'm going to be with her now . " He stood up and grabbed his coat . " For the next few days , don't bother me . " As he reached the door , he added , " I'll be back next Monday . " Claire looked at him , her voice cold and detached . " Fine . So be it . " It was laughable . He thought she would wait for him to come back ? Aaron frowned , seemingly surprised by her attitude , but said nothing as he turned and left . The moment the door closed , Claire's phone vibrated . [ Ms. Morgan , your account closure procedure has been completed . ] Claire stared at the message , her eyes brimming with tears , her heart racing so violently it felt as if it would burst from her chest . She was free . She immediately grabbed the bag she had already packed , not looking back as she walked out of the pack house . At the airport , her parents were already waiting at the gate . When they saw her , her mother rushed to embrace her with red eyes . " Good girl , it's all over now . " Claire nodded , her eyes also filled with tears . Yes , it was all over .
