ログインWho do you think ordered the wolf to poison the pups?
“Lies! Everything you said is a lie! You’re just trying to pin your own crime on someone else!” he shouted. His voice betrayed that he was cornered, yet he still insisted on continuing the deception. “Take off your gloves and show us your hands,” I demanded. Kaelen glanced at the two warriors standing nearby and signaled them to restrain the man. They obeyed at once, gripping his arms before he could think to run. The wolf’s eyes widened with panic as Kaelen strode over and stripped the gloves from his hands himself. Around us, the parents gathered inside the healing den recoiled in shock, instinctively putting distance between themselves and the accused. “A-Alpha…” he stammered. Kaelen’s expression hardened into ice. “Explain yourself. Now.” “T-There’s sap from another plant on my hands! Please, Alpha, spare me this once!” Desperate, he crawled toward the other parents, but they only met him with clenched jaws and looks of disgust. “You’d better pray my wife finds it in her hea
Minutes later, I finally finished brewing a full cauldron of medicine, with Amanda guiding me through every step over the phone. “The color should be pale silver,” she instructed. “And it should be thick, like honey.” The potion matched her description perfectly, even though she had never seen it herself. “It’s done!” Everyone inside the tent heard my announcement, and the two healers immediately rushed over. “Please check it,” I said. The head healer lifted the cauldron, breathed in the herbal scent, then dipped a spoon into the potion and tasted it. The instant he swallowed, relief spread across his face. “Quick! Give it to the pups immediately!” “Only three spoonfuls at a time,” Amanda reminded us, having heard the exchange through the phone. “Repeat the dose every hour. It’s medicine, not magic. Don’t force an entire cup down them at once. Once it enters their bodies, it needs time to work, especially since their hearts and stomachs are still so small.” “Thank you so much
To anyone looking in, I was the one who had put the pups in danger. After everything that had happened in the Black Forest, it wasn’t hard to see why. The two guards captured there were now being questioned, and by now the wolves of Thornfell had likely learned that I had used belladonna berries. Every piece of evidence pointed straight at me. I forced myself to meet Kaelen’s gaze. “Alpha, those berries aren’t mine. I didn’t bring any belladonna back from the Black Forest. I used them only to protect myself, not to poison anyone in this territory.” I swallowed the knot in my throat. “Do you trust me?” His golden eyes searched mine. He remained silent for a long moment, and my nerves tightened with every passing second. We had only just begun to trust each other. Now, despite every reason to question one another, we needed that trust more than ever. Finally, he gave a firm nod. “Beta,” he commanded, “find out where those berries came from.” “I’ll help prepare the remedy,” I sai
[Kira]“She’s Kira Wilder, my mate. Be kind to her,” Kaelen said, introducing me toa dozenpups. They stared at me with wide, curious eyes. Most of them looked no older than four to six years old.Alpha, your mate is pretty,” one little girl said.“Alpha is handsome too!” another pup added.Kaelen draped an arm around my shoulders.“So, do we make a good pair?” he asked, his tone teasing but with an edge of authority that made the pups sit up straighter, and made my cheeks flush.“Yes!” they answered in unison.“Then take good care of her, alright?” Kaelen reminded them again, more gently this time. Then he turned to me and pressed a kiss to my cheek, right there in front of everyone.He must have looked into my past.After the rogue attack, when
[Lucian] “According to the Lycan servant I spoke with, the Queen saw a woman while visiting her vacation house in human territory. But I couldn’t completely trust him. He had demanded an outrageous sum for such a small piece of information, which meant he could have easily fabricated it for money.” “He claimed that after the Queen’s visit, no one ever saw the woman again. As for the servants who had accompanied the queen, they were all reassigned to different territories shortly afterward, supposedly because the Lycan territory was too vast to keep them in one place.” That was what I kept thinking about as we waited inside a small villa for Queen Leora. The estate was heavily guarded. Armed Lycan warriors stood at every entrance and patrolled every corner of the grounds. Their sharp eyes never stopped scanning their surroundings. It was obvious they took the Queen’s safety seriously. A lady stepped out of the room, followed by two silent servants who kept their eyes lowered. Berni
[Gwyneth]“She’s carrying what is probably the strongest bloodline of all, my king,” the Grand Healer announced.The king and my mother stood in my room. Beside them was another woman, my mother having introduced her as the king’s second wife. I still didn't understand why she'd been allowed in. This was supposed to be a private matter.“That’swonderful news. But how are we supposed to introduce her to everyone?Theybelievewe lost our daughter years ago. How can we suddenly present her to the world, especially now thatshe'scarrying pups without a mate?”It was a fair concern. In our society, a firstborn's reappearance would already spark questions. A pregnancy outside of a sanctioned mating would spark a war of rumors.“My queen, are you certain those pups are truly as powerful as the healer claims

[Gwyneth] One minute… that was all the time I had left. I hurried toward the hunting ground the moment I finished changing, heart already hammering before I’d even broken into a run. The students were mid-count by the time the gate came into view, nearly shut. I pushed harder. “63!” I called out,
