Chapter 24

Author: Alyssa J
For the next several days, Cain lay in Thorne Pack's critical care ward.

He repeatedly begged the medical staff to pass messages to me, hoping I'd visit his room.

I ignored every single one.

Until Rowan's investigation into the Moonlight Lake attack was complete.

Rowan brought me a thick stack of findings.

After reading through them, I walked to the medical ward with Rowan.

The moment Cain saw me in his doorway, his dead, sunken eyes lit up.

"Wren, you finally came." His voice was hoarse.

    For the next several days, Cain lay in Thorne Pack's critical care ward.He repeatedly begged the medical staff to pass messages to me, hoping I'd visit his room.I ignored every single one.Until Rowan's investigation into the Moonlight Lake attack was complete.Rowan brought me a thick stack of findings.After reading through them, I walked to the medical ward with Rowan.The moment Cain saw me in his doorway, his dead, sunken eyes lit up."Wren, you finally came." His voice was hoarse."Three days without a visit—I thought you'd never see me again."His voice was very weak.The right arm he'd sacrificed to save me was wrapped in thick layers of bandages.The lethal silver-toxin wound on his side had been re-opened by the violent tearing and freshly treated.I didn't step one foot inside the room.I stood in the doorway, opened my bag, and pulled out a stack of black-and-white documents.I tossed them onto his bed, one by one.Every piece was ironclad evidence uncovered by Rowan's No

    Another six months passed peacefully.Ethan found his mate—a talented female warrior of Thorne Pack.That day, Ethan brought his girlfriend to the medical center to look after Iris so I could finally take a full day off.Rowan, too, had a rare day with nothing on his schedule.I'd just finished tidying up the herb shop and was about to lock the door.Rowan was already leaning against the doorframe, waiting.In his hand, two ferry tickets to Moonlight Lake in the North."Let's go." Rowan looked at me. "I'm taking you somewhere today."I looked at him, surprised."When did you buy these?" I asked."Last month." Two words. No further explanation.I couldn't help lowering my head to hide a smile.He'd been quietly planning today's outing for a month.He hadn't mentioned it once.He'd patiently waited until the one day Ethan happened to be free and I happened to be available—then produced the tickets.Moonlight Lake was hidden deep within Thorne territory.Ancient trees encircled the water

    Cain was taken by force. I was still pressed into the corner.The shears were still clenched in my hand.Rowan walked to me silently.He reached out, wrapping his broad hand around mine—the one holding the shears.He pried my rigid fingers open, one by one.He took the shears and set them far away on the table.My hands were ice cold.My fingertips were still trembling faintly.Rowan didn't ask what had happened.He guided me by the shoulders to the sofa and sat me down.He went to the kitchen and came back with a steaming glass of warm water.He pressed it into my hands.He sat beside me.He didn't touch me—just stayed there, quiet.After a long time, I broke the silence myself."That man is Cain Blackwood.""He was my mate."I paused, swallowing the dryness in my throat."He's the one who put my mother in this coma.""He ordered the silver chains around my brother's limbs that damaged his nerves.""Every scar on my body that won't fade—all because of him."I turned and looked into Ro

    Cain leaned against a tree by the boundary marker. He hadn't slept all night.The ground at his feet was littered with burned-out cigarette butts.Two Alphas stood face to face—their auras entirely different.Cain was haggard, radiating exhaustion and decay.Rowan's expression was cold. He looked Cain up and down like an uninvited stray.Rowan dispensed with pleasantries.He issued his terms directly."Wren doesn't want to see you.""Your presence at my border is disrupting my pack members' movement.""I'm giving you two options.""Walk away on your own, or I'll have you escorted out."Cain stared at him, his voice raw and hoarse."She's my mate."Rowan corrected him coolly."Your bond was severed a long time ago.""She's now a registered member of Thorne Pack.""She stands on my territory, under my absolute protection.""In Blackwood you give the orders. But this is the North."Cain's fists clenched instantly.But he knew, in his current state, he couldn't take a Northern Alpha at ful

    Rowan, the witch, and two elite healers were already waiting inside.When Rowan saw me enter, he waved me over immediately.The witch and healers exchanged a glance, nodded respectfully to Rowan, and all stepped outside.Only Rowan, Iris, and I remained in the room.Rowan handed me the latest wolf-spirit data pad."Iris's wolf showed clear autonomous fluctuation during deep hibernation." Rowan spoke quietly."This is the first time in nearly two years that the instruments have detected an active signal at this level."The witch's professional assessment was that Iris's survival instinct was remarkably strong.Her wolf hadn't been killed outright—it had entered an extremely deep hibernation, undergoing slow self-repair.With continued treatment, her waking was absolutely possible.My eyes flooded instantly. Everything blurred.From everyone constantly declaring it hopeless—to "absolutely possible."I'd endured nearly two years of waiting.Rowan reached out and gently wiped the tear slid

    Life in the North moved at a much slower pace than Blackwood.I'd been here for over a year now.The money Alaric had left, combined with Rowan's quiet support, was more than enough.I'd opened a small herb shop at the edge of Thorne Pack territory.I sold everyday health remedies and handmade balms.The work was peaceful and unhurried.I had plenty of time each day to sit with Iris at the medical center.Ethan had made a full recovery.He'd resumed intensive training and was now an elite warrior of Thorne Pack.Apart from Iris still showing no signs of waking, everything was moving in the right direction.Sometimes I'd close up shop and sit alone in my yard, lost in thought.It all felt slightly unreal.A year ago, I was being force-fed wolfsbane in a freezing silver cell.I was being tortured in a dark shaman's chamber.I was falling from a cliff into black nothingness.Now I was sitting peacefully in my own little yard.Eyes closed, warming in the sun.Breathing in the scent of the
