Dumped Omega? Now Their Alpha King Begs at My Feet novel Chapter 11

Valerie's POV

Dr. Albright's face contorted with a mix of fury and disbelief. His professional pride, the very foundation of his identity in this hospital, had been publicly shattered by a nobody.

"Misdiagnosed?" he sputtered, his voice shaking with condescending rage. His face turned a blotchy red.

"I am the chief of medicine at this hospital! I have thirty years of experience!" he boomed, trying to reclaim his authority through sheer volume. "You're a child playing dress-up!"

I didn't even bother to look at him. My attention was fixed on a small, secondary monitor to the side, a device displaying esoteric energy readings that the regular staff ignored, assuming it was malfunctioning.

I pointed a steady finger at the screen. A tiny, almost imperceptible line was fluctuating in a strange, rhythmic pattern. It was a wave so subtle they had all dismissed it as digital static.

"You're treating it like silver poisoning," I stated, my voice calm and precise, a scalpel cutting through his blustering anger. "But the silver was just the catalyst. It was the key that unlocked the cage."

"The root cause is a mystical parasite that was dormant in his bloodline, passed down for generations," I explained, my eyes tracing the faint, sickly green line on the screen. "It's an ancient curse, not a modern disease."

"It was activated by the silver," I continued, my mind racing, connecting the knowledge from my mother's books to the reality in front of me. "It's feeding on the magical essence of his heart, not the muscle tissue itself. That's why your readings show cardiac arrest, but the organ isn't physically damaged."

"Your defibrillator is useless against it," I finished, looking at the useless machine. "You're trying to jump-start a car that has no engine."

The level of detail, the use of terms no ordinary wolf would ever know—*mystical parasite, magical essence*—stunned the medical staff into a dead silence. Their own complex medical knowledge was useless here.

This was a different language of healing entirely, a language they had forgotten existed.
