He stepped out from the crowd, staring at me like he didn't recognize me.

"No... you're not Olivia, are you?"

Sophia was right next to him, her eyes bulging, her face even more twisted than his. She looked at me with something close to fury.

"No... that's not possible..." Her voice turned shrill as she lunged forward, pointing at me with a shaking finger. "How could she possibly get first place?"

She paused, like a thought just hit her, and her voice shot up an octave. "Did you cheat?!"

  • After Leaving Them, I Became the Chief Healer   Chapter 7

    My first month at Frost Pack, I threw myself into everything. I was at the Healer's Hall almost every single day, desperate to adapt, to prove myself, to give back to the pack that had welcomed me with open arms.Caleb hadn't lied to me.Frost gave me the best of everything—the finest herbs, the most complete collection of medical texts, unrestricted research access. They even cleared out the best house near the Healer's Hall and gave it to me.Back in Silvermoon, my house had been destroyed by rogues, and Adam never gave me a replacement. He just moved me into his apartment. Back then, I was thrilled to be living with him.Now I understood how important it was to have your own space. Your own home.I treasured every opportunity I had. Every day, I soaked up knowledge like I was starving for it.Up before dawn, studying medical texts. Mornings with the elders in the Hall, treating the most difficult cases sent in from all over. Late nights in my room, filling notebooks with everything

    Sophia's panic sent a ripple of whispers through the entire square."Isn't that the sister of the healer trials champion?""Her own sister? And she did this to her?""Look at the guy next to her—that's the Alpha of Silvermoon Pack. He was with the sister before, and now he's with the younger one. Disgusting."Caleb turned to the enforcement team, his voice cold as ice. "Throw her in the dungeon."All eyes landed on Sophia like needles, pinning her in place. That's when the fear finally hit her."I... I didn't..." Her voice started shaking. "I mean... no, I was just talking nonsense... I don't know anything..."Caleb looked down at her, his eyes devoid of warmth. "You don't know anything? You just said your sister's medical texts were wrong. If you didn't tamper with them, how would you know?"Sophia shook her head frantically, tears spilling down her cheeks. She stumbled backward, casting around like she was looking for an escape."No! I was just speaking without thinking! I don't know

"How could she possibly get first place?"She paused, like a thought just hit her, and her voice shot up an octave. "Did you cheat?!"The whole crowd went dead silent for a beat, then every single person turned to look at her with pure disgust.Sophia didn't even notice. She kept going. "She's my sister—I know her better than anyone. There's no way she could've—""Enough."Caleb cut her off flat.He stepped forward, looking down at her from the platform, and let his Alpha pressure slam down like a wall.Sophia's face drained of color. She staggered back half a step, and Adam caught her."The healer trials were monitored by the Alpha K

    Caleb, the Alpha of Frost Pack, was only three years older than me. When he saw the beat-up suitcase I was carrying, he reached out and took it from me with a smile."If there's anything you need once we get to Frost, just say the word. We'll make sure you have it."I smiled and nodded. The moment I stepped into the car, I took one last look at Silvermoon Pack behind me. The place I'd called home for nearly twenty years. Goodbye, Silvermoon. Goodbye, Adam.I turned my head and faced forward."Alpha," I said, "the Healer's Hall at Frost... I'd like to start working as soon as possible."Caleb raised an eyebrow, surprised. "You must have worked yourself ragged preparing for the trials. Don't you need a few days to rest?""No. I want to grow as fast as I can."He paused, then gave me a warm smile. "Alright. But would you mind taking today off? It's the Moon Goddess Festival tonight. The whole pack gathers at the Moon Temple. And since you're joining us as the top healer in the trials, eve

    I walked until I was far enough away, and the prophecy crystal in my pocket started talking again."If you hadn't discovered the truth today, you would have lost both your hands in a rogue war, trying to protect Adam. And then the whole pack would have turned on you. Everyone would call you a useless waste of pack resources, unworthy of standing beside an Alpha."I listened, trembling all over."Adam wouldn't even seal the bond with you. He was too scared of angering the pack and getting thrown out of his Alpha position.""Your sister, desperate for the Luna spot, would lure you to the cliffs and shove you off with her own hands. The bottom was full of thorns. You'd heal and get torn apart over and over until you bled out, screaming."My chest seized up, suffocating.If I'd really been stupid enough to throw the healer trials and stay in Silvermoon with them, I wouldn't just lose my chance at becoming a top healer. I'd end up crippled, dying in agony.Memories I'd deliberately ignored

    I masked my scent and hid behind the tree, watching. Then words cut deeper than anything I'd seen."Adam, if you keep stabilizing my wolf spirit like this, won't my sister get mad?"Sophia said it with not a trace of guilt on her face.She'd been bullied as a kid, and her wolf spirit had never been stable. I always blamed myself for not protecting her better, carried that guilt like a weight. Every herb I found for stabilizing wolf spirits, every tonic that could strengthen her, I gave to her.Across from her, Adam looked completely justified."I'm the future Alpha of Silvermoon Pack. Calming pack members is my duty. Besides, she's your sister—she'll understand. And—"He paused."Olivia in bed... is just so boring. Not like you. Young. Daring.""She's busier and more accomplished than me, the future Alpha. Every time I want her, she's buried in her medical texts, studying until late. She doesn't need me at all.""If my sister finds out, she'll definitely leave you." Sophia clung to his
