Amber’s POV

Even without Florence’s confidence, I was ready to push forward. I was even more motivated now, determined to prove to her how wrong she was.

I would find a cure, and I would bring it back here to help Matthew. I’d also gift it to all packs, so that any child with this affliction wouldn’t have to suffer like mine had.

First, though, I needed to solve this puzzle.

“Would you consent to me taking a blood same, Matthew?” I asked. “It will help me tremendously to find a cure.”

“It’s alright, dear,” Florence said to her grandson. “She is a Healer so good and famous, even I’ve heard of her.”

That seemed to calm him enough for me to quickly take a sample with a clean needle I had taken from the clinic. When it was done, I thanked both Matthew and Florence.

As Florence walked us to the door, she said, “I imagine we won’t be hearing from you again, but I do wish you the best, Healer Amber. That boy has suffered so much. If miracles do happen, and you manage to find a cure, I hope you will remember us.”

“I will,” I told her. “This won’t be the last time you see me.

She hummed, but it was clear from her tone and body language that she did not believe me. “Best of luck to you.”

She held the door for us. The minute we were through it, she closed and locked it behind us.

Julian glanced at me. “Well, it could have gone worse.”

“This is progress,” I assured him.

We only made it to the end of the street, when Bill and his guards were waiting for us. I supposed we hadn’t been given as much trust and freedom as I had thought.

“If you’ve finished your business, we’ll escort you back to the edge of town,” Bill said.

I looked at Rafael and Julian, who both nodded.

“We’re done,” Rafael said and took the lead, approaching the guards.

Bill turned to lead us, while his guards took point behind us.

It all seemed rather unnecessary, as we’d already proven that we meant no harm. But I couldn’t be

too.

Truly, I was pleased that they had allowed us as much as we’d been allowed. With the vial of blood in my bag, I felt closer to a cure for Alice than I ever had before. Already my mind was a flurry of possibilities and the steps I would need to take to get there.

Bill broke through my thoughts by speaking to Rafael. “I imagine you will soon bulldoze the town now, rather than keep your word.”

Rafael scoffed. “I am an Alpha. My word is not so easily broken.” Softer, more gruffly, he added, ” Not even to rogues.”

As we walked, Julian reached out and laced his fingers with mine. I looked over at him and we shared a small smile.

He likely hadn’t forgotten the way I had called him my mate, and neither had I.

When this was said and done, we had a lot to think about.

For now, we just continued to the trek forward in silence, comforted by each other’s touch and the strong thrum of the mating bond between us.
