The bpack /bnurse’s footsteps echoed down the sterile corridor of Dr. bVincent /bKane’s private clinic. Her bvoice /brang out cheerfully as she approached my healing cot.

“Time to beat!/bb” /bbshe /bcalled, bncing a tray of food.

I remained motionlessb, /bmy breathing shallow and controlled. The nurse’s cheerful expression gradually shifted to concern as silence greeted her repeated calls.

“Miss Rivers? Are you alright?” Her voice carried a note of worry now.

Fear flickered across her face as she fumbled for her keys. The outer door clicked open, and she rushed toward my still form on the healing cot.

The moment her hand reached toward me, I struck. The syringe filled with sbane exnged into her

neck with deadly precision.

Her pupils contracted violently as the poison coursed through her system. “You…” she gasped, her voice barely a whisper before consciousness fled.

Her body crumpled to the floor with a dull thud. I struggled off the bed, my disabled right hand trembling with

the effort.

Moving quickly despite my injuries, I closed and locked the door behind her. My fingers fumbled with her uniform as I stripped the unconscious nurse.

The fabric felt foreign against my skin as I dressed in her clothes. With tremendous effort, I lifted her limp form onto the healing cot where I had been imprisoned.

I stared down at my trembling right hand, the one Marcus had destroyed. Hatred burned in my chest like

molten silver.

My eyes filled with unwillingness and rage. I would escape the Southern Territory, no matter the cost.

(Elena ckwood’s POV)

The surgical lights cast harsh shadows across the operating table as I assisted Professor Theodore Ashworth with our second procedure of the day. The clock on the wall read 2:30 PM.

Our patient was an eight–year–old werewolf pup suffering from a rare parasitic brain infection. Professor Theodore’s hands moved with the precision of decades of experience.

“Excellent work, Elena,” he said as wepleted the delicate procedure. “Female lead healers are bing increasingly rare in our field.”

His weathered face showed genuine approval. “Professor Hugo Ashworth has found himself a true treasure.”

When his sharp eyes noticed the bandage on my right hand, concern flickered across his features. “What

“A nearby pack member captured it and uploaded it online, but it didn’t gain traction in the werewolfmunity,” Rachel exined. “I discovered it identally while browsing pack forums.”

When she sent me the video file, my hands shook as I opened it. The footage was blurry but unmistakably

clear in its content.

Sophia stood on the building’s edge with Oliver. Without a second’s hesitation, she pushed the child with cold

calction, as if he weren’t her own son.

Tears welled in my eyes as the truth finally revealed itself. I couldn’t decide whether to cry orugh at having proof of Sophia’s monstrous cruelty.

Professor Hugo Ashworth appeared beside me, offering eye drops when he noticed my red, strained eyes.

“Are you alright?”

His gentle concern drew curious looks from Jane and Dr. Edmond Fisher, who quickly retreated when they

realized they’d been caught staring.

That evening at Shadowmere Heights Residential Complex, I encountered Marcus in the hallway. He was speaking quietly into his phone, his back turned to me.

“Don’t look for her anymore,” his voice carried clearly in the empty corridor. “Let her escape, as long as she doesn’t appear in the Northern Territory again.”

My blood ran cold as I realized he was discussing Sophia Rivers. Anger red in my chest as I confronted

him.

“You’re letting her escape instead of turning her over to the Pack Enforcement Division?” I demanded.

Marcus spun around, his golden eyes wide with surprise. “Elena, I can exin-

“Exin what? How you’re protecting the woman who tried to kill me?” My voice rose with fury.

“I disabled her hand in retaliation,” he said desperately. “I swear I never betrayed you or touched her inappropriately.”

Before I could respond, he pulled me into his embrace. His arms tightened around me as he pleaded.

Two dayster in William Parker’s rural pack territory, Amber Stone’s arrival created quite a spectacle. Several Elite Guards nked her as she approached the modest Parker family home.

His voice dropped to a worried whisper. “Our daughter was mistaken for one of those children. Sudden wealth might bring unwanted attention from rival packs to our modest family.”

He realized their daughter was mistaken for one of those children and warned his mate about the potential dangers of sudden wealth, fearing it might bring unwanted attention from rival packs to their modest family.
