Masuk"Is this Ms. Sienna?" The nurse sounded panicked on the phone. "Mr. Caleb is in critical condition. The family hopes you can come see him one last time."I held the phone, standing by the window watching the heavy snow."I'm not his family." My voice was as calm as dead water."But... but he keeps saying your name." The nurse begged. "The doctor says he won't make it through the night."Gideon rubbed my shoulders from behind. His voice was low. "Go if you want to. It's a way to close the chapter."An hour later, I was walking down the hallway of the Silvermane hospital.For humanitarian reasons and pack relations, I came as a representative of the Healers Guild.Outside the room, Marcus and Diana were kneeling on the cold floor.When they saw me, they crawled over instantly. They clung to my legs."Sienna! My daughter!" Diana cried hysterically. "Please save him! Please forgive him!"Marcus was knocking his head against the floor. His forehead was already bleeding."It's all our fault!
Five years later.Gideon and I had a beautiful daughter. Today was our little princess's third birthday."Mommy, the cake is so yummy!"Three-year-old Emma sat on my lap, holding a fork. She had frosting on her cheek.She had Gideon's deep gray eyes, but inherited my curly chestnut hair."Eat slowly, princess." I gently wiped the frosting off her mouth. A wave of pure satisfaction filled my heart.The Nightfall estate was brightly lit and full of guests. Emma's birthday party was huge. Everyone in the pack came to bless our little princess.Gideon walked over and leaned down to kiss my forehead."Tired?" his deep voice was gentle. "Most of the guests have left."I shook my head and hugged Emma tighter. This was the happiest moment of my life."Mommy, I'm sleepy." Emma gave a little yawn and nuzzled into my chest."Let's go back to our room, okay?" I stood up, ready to take her upstairs.Just then, the butler hurried over."Luna, there are people outside asking to see you." He looked co
Sienna's POVThe Global Alpha Summit for the silver poison cure was held at the grandest estate."Ladies and gentlemen," the host's excited voice filled the hall. "Today, we witness the greatest breakthrough in werewolf medical history!"The spotlight hit the stage. I walked up slowly.Fifteen years of peace had completely transformed me.I wore a tailored dark blue gown. Every step was calm and confident.The audience was packed with pack Alphas and top healers."The silver poison cure is officially in production," I said clearly. My voice echoed. "It will be sold at cost, ensuring every werewolf can afford it."Thunderous applause erupted and lasted forever.As the Chief Healer of the Guild, I became a hero worshipped by the entire werewolf world.I scanned the crowd. In the corner, I spotted three familiar figures.Marcus and Diana sat in the back row. Their hair was white. They looked withered and old.Their eyes were full of tears as they stared at me in a daze.Beside them, Caleb
For the first five years, Caleb's world completely shattered.The fatal backlash of a formal rejection flooded in.His Alpha wolf soul began to wither. He caught the most hopeless disease in the werewolf world—Fading Wolf Syndrome, caused by a broken mate bond.Every night, he had hallucinations.He would hold Sienna's old pillow, smelling the faint lavender scent that was almost gone, and cry until he passed out.Marcus searched for the best healers across all packs, but no one could cure it."Only getting his mate's forgiveness and fixing the soul mark can stop the fading." An old healer shook his head. "But the Silvermane girl cut the tie completely. It's irreversible."Caleb started hurting himself to ease the pain in his heart.He cut his arms with a silver knife. He numbed his nerves with pure wolfsbane. He even purposely got badly injured in training.The ER became his second home.Marcus and Diana watched helplessly as their proud Alpha heir turned into a walking corpse.Their
Heavy rain pounded against the SUV's windshield like bullets.A desperate Caleb couldn't accept losing his mate forever. He ignored Marcus and Diana and rushed into the stormy night.The engine roared over the wind. He stepped on the gas, racing wildly up the muddy mountain road.Four hours later, the Healer Guild's secret southern base appeared ahead.It was a massive fortress surrounded by high walls and barbed wire. It looked terrifying in the lightning flashes.Caleb slammed on the brakes. He jumped out and ran straight for the heavy metal doors."Open up! Give me my mate back!" He beat on the cold metal like a madman. "Sienna! I know you're in there!"Loud sirens instantly blared across the base.Red warning lights flashed. Fully armed guards poured out from everywhere, surrounding Caleb.Over a dozen silver-tipped weapons aimed right at his chest."Step back! This is a Guild restricted area!" the guard captain shouted."I'm not leaving!" Caleb roared, his eyes blood-red. His weak
"I didn't... I didn't do anything!" Freya scrambled back, her voice screeching in panic.Caleb slowly crouched down. His eyes were now blood-red.His dark Alpha dominance exploded. The crystal chandelier rattled above them."Tell me!" he growled. "What did you do to my mate?""I really didn't..."Before Freya could lie, his Alpha command crushed her to the floor."Ah—" She screamed and coughed up blood. She was pinned flat, unable to move.Her four-year disguise completely crumbled under the pressure."She wanted to come back! She wanted to ruin my life!" Freya screamed hysterically. Blood dripped from her mouth. "I finally had a family! I had a mom and dad who loved me! I had Caleb! I couldn't let her steal that!""You answered the phone." Caleb's voice was dead cold."I did it on purpose!" Freya was totally unhinged. "I wanted to break her! I intercepted the phone at the jewelry store on purpose! I told her you were buying me gifts! I told her she was worthless! I wanted her to give
