Chapter 54- such a peculiar person

"Are you thinking... that you can leave soon?"

The soft, chilling voice broke the silence like a biting cold wind. Regina's thoughts, once drifting, were suddenly jolted awake, her heart racing. She quickly locked eyes with Waldo, whose wolf-like gaze, as deep and cold as the sea, struck her with an unseen force. Her face drained of color, and her body stiffened, as if an invisible pressure weighed on her. She shook her head instinctively, her voice trembling, "No."

Waldo's eyes grew darker, as though a cold shiver passed through her soul. His lips curled into an evil smile, his entire body radiating an undeniable ferocity, like a wolf ready to pounce on its prey—cold, calculated, and dangerous.
