Chapter 8

Author: Aurora
That familiar scent I hadn't smelled in so long lingered at my nose, as if from another lifetime.

Pine trees and leather. The scent that had meant safety and home for so many years.

"You're still the same as when you were little—you forget to bring an umbrella on rainy days."

His voice was softer than I remembered, gentler.

"But your body is weak now. Can't you take better care of yourself? It breaks my heart to see this."

I looked up slowly, hardly daring to believe it. It was Kieran.

For a moment, I thought I was dreaming.

He had changed dramatically. His eyes were no longer sharp and bright with confidence. He had lost a lot of weight, his usually perfect appearance now rumpled and tired. Dark circles shadowed his eyes, and his face showed obvious exhaustion.

His voice caught in his throat, so hoarse it was barely audible.

"Sage, I finally... finally found you."

I had thought I would never see Kieran again in this lifetime.

The sight of him standing there, rain-soaked and desperate,

    He paused, his voice trembling."I was really... really scared."This was the same man who had climbed treacherous peaks and ventured into silver poison zones without fear. But now even saying "scared" seemed to drain him of strength.Tears were already flowing from my eyes, and I cried so hard I could barely make a sound."How can you be so foolish?""To save me, is it really worth risking your life over and over again?"I took Kieran to the border medical station, the same one where I'd recovered from my kidney surgery months ago.Dr. Harrison recognized us both immediately."Miss Sage! And Alpha Blackwood. What happened to your hand?""Silver burn," Kieran said tersely. "Just patch it up."But the hand injury, combined with blood loss and extreme exhaustion, left him with a high fever that wouldn't break."He's been pushing himself too hard," Dr. Harrison told me privately. "His body is shutting down from stress and lack of proper rest. When did he last eat a full meal?"I realized

    After that, Kieran never came to find me again. But things I used to love kept appearing at my shelter's doorstep.The first morning, I found a small package wrapped in brown paper. Inside was the special jerky I loved eating back at Stormfang Pack—the kind made from wild deer that only grew in the northern territories."Someone left this for you," Jake told me, picking up the package with curiosity. "No note or anything."I recognized the scent immediately. It was exactly the way Mrs. Blackwood used to make it, with just the right amount of salt and herbs.My hands shook as I held the package.It was as if Kieran was trying to bring back the person I used to be.The next week, I found a small wooden trap model on my doorstep—the kind Kieran used to make when I pestered him as a child."Look what I found!" Amy, the little orphan girl, held it up excitedly. "It's so detailed! Someone must have spent hours carving this."I remembered being eight years old, following Kieran around the for

    After leaving Stormfang Pack, I didn't go to Northern Europe.I wanted to visit the place where my parents had fought their entire lives. After much traveling, I arrived at the southern border territory under the Alpha King's command.This place wasn't as prosperous as the north, but the local customs were simple and honest.When I first arrived, dragging my single suitcase through the dusty main street, several curious wolves gathered around."You're not from around here," an elderly woman observed, studying my clothes with keen eyes.A younger man nodded. "The southern border often faces enemy invasions. Seeing your fine clothes, you must be from the core territories. Why are you staying here?""Are you running from something, miss?" another asked with concern. "This isn't a place for someone like you."I shook my head but didn't answer their questions directly.My parents had protected this place their entire lives. I wanted to make the land they had guarded a little better too.The

    The document clearly stated that the Alpha King promised to attend the mating ceremony between him and Elena—not me.Kieran suddenly remembered yesterday, how I had smiled so bitterly when I handed him this very document.I said I wanted to help him be with Elena."Oh, goddess," he whispered, sinking into a chair. "What have I done?"Mrs. Blackwood patted his shoulder gently."Kieran, do you really think Elena tried to kill herself by taking silver poison?""What do you mean?""She was having an affair with Elder Luke and embezzled pack resources. When Luke's mate discovered this, Elena desperately tried to seduce you, seeking your protection."Mr. Blackwood nodded grimly. "We have bank records, witness statements, even photographs. Elena has been running a racket for months.""That woman from Ironwood Pack—Elder Luke's mate—thought you were going to hold a mating ceremony with Sage and wouldn't care about Elena anymore. In her rage, she forced silver poison down Elena's throat.""From

    The woman was young, around my age, with similar bone structure. But her hair was dark brown, not silver. Her eyes were hazel, not the soft gray he knew so well.The taut string of tension that had been holding him together suddenly snapped, and Kieran collapsed to his knees beside the body, laughing uncontrollably.Relief crashed over him in waves so intense they left him dizzy."Alpha?" The investigator stepped forward in concern. "Are you alright?"A false alarm. What a beautiful feeling this was.But as he laughed, his nose began to sting with unshed tears.Kieran realized now—he cared about me that much, even more than he had imagined.The laughter died in his throat as the full impact hit him.For those horrible thirty minutes of running through the forest, he had experienced what life would be like without me. The emptiness. The meaninglessness of everything he'd worked to build."Alpha," one of his border guards approached cautiously. "Should we continue the investigation? The
