Timika didn’t even blink.

“It’s a healing potion. You wanted her strong, didn’t you?”

“So you lied?”

“This isn’t some snake oil,” she replied coolly. “With our kind, anything can be magic. If I give her water, don't expect it to be the common one you drink,”

Trent’s jaw tightened. He knew Timika was playing him. He hated being outmaneuvered but for Zora’s sake, he swallowed his pride and said nothing more.

The room fell into a tense silence as they waited for the potion to take effect.

A quiet rumble broke through.

Zora’s stomach growled.

Trent stiffened, snapping out of his brooding thoughts. He remembered—neither of them had eaten at the summit yesterday. He checked his watch: 6:00 AM. Too early for the kitchens to be ready. She needed something or anything to hold her over.

Without a word, he strode to the fridge, opened it, and scanned the contents. Fruits. He grabbed an apple, washed it under the tap, and placed it on a tray. But then he paused.

Frowning, he turned back, took the

    Zora froze. Her heartbeat thundered in her ears as if trying to drown out the truth she’d just heard. “What do you mean, ‘erased’?” Her voice was barely above a whisper, tight with disbelief.Timika didn’t answer immediately. The silence was enough.Zora, clutching her head as if she could reach inside and find the missing pieces herself. “That’s why I don’t remember my parents. My childhood. Why does everything feel… wrong?” Her chest rose and fell in rapid bursts. “Someone did this to me. On purpose.”She looked up, her eyes glassy. “So there’s nothing you can do? No spell to fix this? To bring it all back?”Timika’s gaze darted to Alpha Trrent, watching his reaction; what Zora had said was forbidden in his pack. No one even dared to speak the word magic aloud.But Trent didn’t react. No anger. No warning glare. Only tenderness in the way he watched Zora, as if she was the only truth he believed in.Timika exhaled slowly. “There’s always a way,” she said at last. “But the cost… and

    “This is the last time you’ll mention the word ‘mate,’” he growled, eyes flashing red.“The Mate…” Zora whispered.The word echoed in her mind. She had heard it countless times while drifting in and out of consciousness, and each time, she’d felt Trent’s pain. She remembered how his voice would falter whenever someone mentioned it, how it wounded him in ways she hadn’t understood until now.Her eyes widened. The realization hit: what she thought had been a dream wasn’t a dream at all. It was real. Every word, every tear, every whispered confession from Alpha Trent—it had all been real.The cold, ruthless Alpha had cared for her. He truly cared. She had felt it, even when she couldn’t lift a finger. He cried when she was gone. He confessed his love, not knowing if she’d ever come back or hear him.Tears slid silently down her cheeks as her eyes locked with Alpha Trent’s.For almost ten years, she had merely existed after she was found by Dane's family. No one had ever cared for her lik

    Zora blinked slowly, her vision adjusting to the dim light. Her body ached, and every breath felt like a weight on her chest; she had lied on her rib. She shifted slightly, and pain shot through her ribs.Trent jolted fully upright, still holding her hand. “Zora?” His voice cracked.Her gaze found his. “Alpha Trent?” She whispered, hoarse and confused.Emotion swelled in his chest, You’re awake,” he breathed, brushing her hair away from her face.“Thank the Goddess. This is a miracle.”Zora tried to sit up but winced in pain. “What… happened?”“We went to Alpha's summit, and we were attacked,” he said, his throat tight. “You took a blade meant for me.”Her brows pulled together as the memory tried to surface; she recalled how she stupidly thought the attacker wouldn't harm her and came in between the stake.“I'm sorry for not being able to protect you; nothing of the sort will ever happen again.”“Let me call the doctor,” he said and scurried outside.Zora watched as his back disappear

    Alpha Trent was quiet as Graham’s words rang in his ears. “Maybe she was raised to ruin you.”No. He wouldn’t believe that. It couldn't be true. “Don’t ever say something like that again,” Alpha Trent said, facing Graham. Graham could see how serious he was and cleared his throat before nodding. “Sorry, Alpha. I should have known my place,” he said. Trent held onto Zora, who was still lying motionless on the bed. His mind was racing as he thought of the doctor’s words. Her DNA was unique, something they hadn’t seen before. Her mind was intact, which meant that she wasn’t seriously hurt upstairs. So why wasn’t she healing? Why were her wounds still fresh? This wasn’t something that the doctors could heal. It was something more. He had to find some answers, but at the same time, he didn’t want to leave Zora’s side. He didn’t trust anybody else to look after her. He didn't leave for a second, and the doctor had taken her blood sample. He wasn’t going to let that happen again. “Z

    Graham heaved a heavy sigh. He never wanted their alpha like this, Zora needed to be saved at all cost, but alpha Trent not taking the mate stuff serious.He swallowed hard and said, “Alpha… look at her. She’s fading. You want to save her? Then let’s find her mate. You know what that bond can do how it can share pain, and strengthen healing. If she wants you, she can reject her mate. That’s her choice. But right now, we’re running out of time.”Trent’s voice dropped to a near whisper. “She doesn’t even have a wolf. How do I find her mate?”Graham frowned. “How do you know she doesn’t?”“My wolf tried to reach hers. There was nothing. No response.” he replied, staring at her. Graham startled, he was stunned that Trent had found his wolf and he didn't tell anyone. “Wait—your wolf? That’s new. Hasn’t he been… distant for years?”“He came back. But even he couldn’t reach her. And neither could Argon. Compass couldn’t locate anything either.”“That is great, development, you could have sh
