I could hear Luna Mila’s screams from where I was standing. They were muffled behind the walls, but they cut through me anyway.

Yesterday, I had caught the tremble in her figure and the faint discoloration of her skin. I had brushed it off, thinking it was mere exhaustion. However, guessing from her screams, it was much more than that.

Rowan’s hand slipped into mine. His grip was steady, though his face was carved in stone. He didn’t say a word, but I could see the storm he was holding back in his eyes.

Karl stood a few feet away, rigid as a statue. He hadn’t allowed us in. His decision was final, leaving no room for argument. Instead, he’d shoved his trust into their oldest doctor and into Cameron–my cousin, who had only just begun studying to become a pack doctor.

I wanted to tell Karl that I could truly help; however, it seemed he didn’t want to listen.

The scent hit me next. It was unmistakably poison. I knew it too well. Kyle must have gotten to her as a way to taunt the South even more.

Suddenly, the door creaked open. The doctor emerged, pale and sweating, his hands stained with the effort of healing gone wrong. His voice cracked when he spoke. “I don’t know if I can do anything, Alpha,” he said, shaking his head. “Luna Mila might… she might go like this.”

The world froze.

For a second, I couldn’t breathe. Neither could Rowan. I felt his grip on my hand tighten. Karl moved like thunder. One second, he was still; the next, he had the doctor pinned by the collar, teeth bared, his voice a growl that made the walls tremble,

“What do you mean you can’t? She’s my wife!” His rage was wild, dripping with a kind of fear only a mate could know.

Cameron stepped forward, his voice heavy with defeat. “It’s true, Alpha. It’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. We’ve tried… and failed. We can’t possibly do anything more.”

“No,” I whispered, before I realized I’d spoken.

Rowan’s eyes flicked to mine.

I rose to my feet, pulling my hand from his, every nerve in my body fueled with

determination. My heart hammered, but my voice carried loud, cutting through the chaos.

“Bring her here, Alpha.”

All heads turned to me.

Karl’s eyes narrowed, but I didn’t falter. I stepped forward, my chest lifted. “If you want your wife alive,” I said, each word ringing with conviction, “bring her here. To me.”

Karl’s eyes bored into mine, but underneath the hardness was something else–desperation. His jaw was clenched, his hands fisted at his sides.

“Can you heal her?” he asked. “Are you that confident?”

Before I could answer, Cameron scoffed from behind him. His tone dripped with disdain, and I didn’t even need to look to know he was sneering.

“It’s impossible,” Cameron said flatly. “You’re not a magician. You’re not anyone. Stop pretending you can fix what you don’t understand.”

I didn’t even look at him. I just repeated, steady and firm, “Bring her here.”

For a moment, silence stretched. Karl’s nostrils flared, his breath coming sharp. I could see him weighing his options, pride against fear, but in the end, fear won. He gestured sharply to Francis.

“Get Mila.”

The moment they carried her out to the living room, I felt the air leave my lungs. My chest ached as I took in her state. She was pale, her lips cracked and faintly blue, her body trembling against the sheets on which they lay her. Her breaths were shallow, her throat rasping with each exhale.

And instantly, I knew.

This was what Ronnie had gone through.

Back then, I hadn’t had any answers. I’d been powerless, left only to pray while Dr. Ingrid took over. Now, staring down at Luna Mila, I finally recognized it. Deep poison. And yet… this wasn’t beyond saving.

I placed a hand gently over her heart. Her body was cold to the touch, but the moment my palm rested against her chest, I felt the darkness. It thrummed beneath her skin, slithering like smoke, heavy but not consuming.

It was there, but it still hadn’t won.

This was solvable.

I exhaled slowly, then reached for my bag. My fingers moved with no hesitation.

“She needs herbs,” I said. “It’ll ease the passage. It’ll let her body push it out.”

Karl moved forward quickly, his hand catching my wrist. “What are you doing?” he demanded.

I pulled free without looking at him. “Saving her.”

From the corner of my eye, I saw Cameron stiffen. “This is madness. You’re going to kill her!”

But I didn’t give him the satisfaction of acknowledgment. Instead, I ground the herbs quickly, mixing them with water. Without hesitation, I pressed it past Mila’s lips, forcing her to swallow.

Karl’s voice broke with panic. “Stop–what are you putting in her mouth?”

“She needs this!” I snapped.
