Chapter 107

OLIVIA’S POV The knock was soft—so soft that for a moment I thought I imagined it. But then it came again, two quick taps, the secret signal. I rushed to the door and opened it just enough to peek through. There stood the Omega I had personally instructed to keep eyes on Evelyn. Her eyes darted nervously down the hall. “Come in,” I whispered urgently, opening the door wider. I made sure no one was in sight before locking it behind her. She stepped in quickly, her shoulders tense and face pale. She clutched something tightly in her hand. I noticed the tremble in her fingers before she opened her palm and handed it to me—a small glass vial with a faint greenish shimmer. “I found this in Evelyn’s room,” she whispered, barely loud enough for me to hear. “Hidden in the false bottom of her vanity drawer. It’s… the same kind of vial you described from that night.” I took it with trembling hands. The scent hit me first—earthy, bitter, with a strange metallic after-note that turned my stomach.
