Rudolf’s POVWhen I entered the room, I froze. Nolan was seated beside the bed holding Talia’s hand. The moment he saw me; he let go and drew back. Della cleared her throat and let out a nervous laugh.“I, uh, will get more ice,” she said quickly, and slipped past me and out of the room.I walked over to Nolan and snatched him up by his shirt collar. “I was very clear about you to stay away from her. What are you doing here?” I snarled.Nolan’s expression remained neutral, but an eye twitch gave away his anger. He gripped my wrist and pried my hand off him. “I threatened Della to let me in. I wanted to see Talia’s condition and find some clues about rogues.”“Clues? Is that the lie you’re going with?” I snorted. “What did you expect to find? This ward has been checked. There is nothing here you will discover by sitting next to her.”“I understand what you think,” Nolan said flatly. “But I had to verify with my own eyes since your warriors failed to notice rogues entering your territor

Nolan’s POVI was halfway down the corridor to the Alpha King’s office when I heard quick footsteps close behind me. I glanced back and saw Solon turning the corner, moving fast. His eyes narrowed the moment he recognized me.“Why are you here?” he asked. “My father called for me.”“The Alpha King summoned me,” I said simply.Solon slowed to match my pace, watching me as if he expected me to admit something. “That is unusual. Why would he want you here?”“You can ask him,” I said, rolling my eyes. “I am just following orders.”“And when do you follow orders?” Solon asked and I didn’t respond to his taunt. “If you think you can use this to get closer to my sister, you are mistaken.”“I am here because the Alpha King requested it,” I said. “Nothing else.”We reached the double doors. Two guards stood aside and opened them. Inside, Jason was already positioned in front of the desk. He turned slightly when we entered, ready to speak. He stood in front of the Alpha King’s desk, looking too

Rudolf’s POV By the third day, Talia’s fever worsened with every passing hour. The doctors had failed to break it. Solon, Della, and I stayed by her side around the clock, placing her in ice baths to cool her down. Every report on her condition told the same grim story: she was dying.Solon stormed into her room as I was changing out the rag for her forehead to a cooler one. “Father, this is madness. You should never have sent Jason and Nolan. They are unreliable. Jason only thinks of himself, and Nolan, he, I don’t know what he’s doing, but I know this will not end well for none of us.”“Do you think I had a choice? Our doctors admitted they could not save her. We needed Healer Leslie, and neither of us could leave Silverfang to search for her,” I replied. Word had spread about our defenses lacking. Both of us needed to be here to defend Silverfang in case someone tried to take advantage.“Still, trusting them was reckless.” Solon muttered.Before I could answer, Beta Logan burst in

Talia’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, I felt relieved. It had taken me so long to wake up. I continued to follow the voices until I finally was able to open my eyes. A woman I didn’t recognize was sitting next to my bed, reading a book. I shifted in bed, trying to lean up which caused her to look up from her book. She gave me a small smile, as if she had been waiting for me to wake up. I then noticed Nolan slumped against the wall. His head rested back, and his skin was pale. A tube ran from his arm to mine.I licked my dry lips and managed to say, “Nolan.”His eyes quickly opened, and he turned his head toward me. He looked worn down, but hearing my voice seemed to give him energy. “You’re awake,” he said. I cleared my throat and said, "How long...how long have I been out?""You’ve been unconscious for a week," Nolan answered. His response surprised me. I really thought it had been longer. I turned back to the girl as she started to remove the bandages from my arms and shoulders. “Y

Talia’s POVWerewolves rarely get drunk. Our bodies burn through alcohol so fast that most of us can drink all night and still barely feel anything. I used to be the same, but everything was different now.Two glasses of wine at dinner left me dizzy and my face hot. The room didn’t spin, but I could barely walk in a straight line. All my words came out slurred.Solon noticed right away. “That’s it for you,” he said quietly, taking the glass from my hand before I could lift it again.“I’m not a child,” I responded, reaching for the glass but he kept it out of reach.“You’re done,” Solon stated and then gestured to the guards by the doorway. “See her to her room.”“I don’t need babysitters. I can walk on my own,” I told him, though the words came out weakly.“I know you don’t, but after what happened not too long ago,” he said. “I'd rather we be careful.”“Good night then,” I pouted and left the dining hall with the guards. The guards followed just behind me, trying to give the feeling
