The atmosphere in the pack council hall was stifling.

Lucas sat in the Alpha's seat with a stern expression.

Members of the enforcement team were restraining a struggling Caroline. Her usually gentle face was now filled with terror.

She could only look at Lucas pitifully while pleading for help. "Lucas, what's going on? Tell them to let me go!"

The enforcement team captain presented the newly uncovered evidence. "Alpha, our investigation revealed that Caroline won a skiing championship while

  • My Mate Favored His Assistant    Chapter 9

    A year later, a massive werewolf war broke out in the northern territory. I led a team of healers from the healer's den to assist with the rescue efforts.A colleague updated me on the situation. "Eleanor, all the injured werewolves have been taken care of and settled. The critically wounded patient has been taken to the operating room. We're waiting for you."After changing into scrubs, I stepped into the operating room, only to stop dead in my tracks.The once proud and powerful Lucas now looked like a broken puppet.He was emaciated, and his body was covered in wounds. Half of his chest had been torn open by claws. His injuries were severe.The surgery lasted twelve hours. Every incision required the utmost care.I wasn't simply saving his life. It felt more like bringing my past to a final close.Three years ago, the injured Eleanor who had cried in the snow was now using those same hands to pull Lucas back from the brink of death.After stitching the final wound, I neatly

    A month later, the annual Werewolf Healers' Conference was held at the prestigious healer's den.I stood onstage while demonstrating a revolutionary new wound suturing technique."Finally, make sure the nerve endings are properly reconnected. Otherwise, the injured patient may suffer permanent complications."After finishing my presentation, I calmly bowed to the audience.A wave of applause filled the hall.William looked at me with undisguised pride and admiration.When the conference ended, I politely declined several job offers from other packs.Just as I stepped out of the hall, I spotted a familiar figure standing at the far end of the corridor.Lucas had lost a considerable amount of weight. His once neatly groomed hair was now disheveled. His eyes looked tired and were bloodshot from countless sleepless nights. The arrogance he once carried was nowhere to be seen.The moment he saw me, a spark suddenly returned to his lifeless eyes. His voice was hoarse when he spoke.

    The atmosphere in the pack council hall was stifling.Lucas sat in the Alpha's seat with a stern expression.Members of the enforcement team were restraining a struggling Caroline. Her usually gentle face was now filled with terror.She could only look at Lucas pitifully while pleading for help. "Lucas, what's going on? Tell them to let me go!"The enforcement team captain presented the newly uncovered evidence. "Alpha, our investigation revealed that Caroline won a skiing championship while studying abroad."We therefore have reason to believe that the incident at the ski resort wasn't an accident. It was intentional."Caroline continued to deny it. "No! It was an accident! Why would I deliberately crash into you and Eleanor?"She looked at Lucas with tears in her eyes.The captain snorted. "Why are you still lying? If we hadn't found the Luna lying in the snow in time, she would have frozen to death!"Realizing her excuses weren't working, Caroline burst into tears. "Lucas,

    Unlike the cold, gloomy pack I just left, the prestigious healer's den, which was thousands of miles away, was bathed in bright sunshine on the day I arrived.William was a kind old man. He looked at me with unmistakable relief and delight.I greeted him respectfully. "I'm sorry, William. I wasted three years of my life. Thank you for still being willing to take me under your wing."William patted my shoulder. "It's not too late, Eleanor. Regardless of when you decide to pick up your scalpel again, it'll never be too late."He handed me a brand-new uniform and gestured for me to change. "Eleanor, we have an emergency surgery today. The lead healer just collapsed from exhaustion, and I need you to take over."As we walked, he briefed me on the patient's condition. "The injuries are severe. Several broken ribs have pierced the heart, and the patient is extremely weak."William looked at me solemnly. "Eleanor, I believe in you. Don't let me down!"I nodded firmly.An atmosphere of

    The room was completely silent.Lucas lay sprawled on the cold floor. The faint glow of his phone illuminated his pale face.The dozens of messages he had sent had not reached me.[Message failed to send. Message failed to send.]Refusing to believe it, Lucas sent another one. The result was exactly the same.He kept muttering to himself. "How is this possible?"Suppressing the pain in his chest, he clutched the bracelet tightly. Its tiny diamonds dug into his palm.Suddenly, he recalled the day of our marking ceremony three years ago. He had lovingly pulled me into his arms, and we'd held each other close.But now, he was the one who had pushed me away with his own hands.He had been the one who ignored me, injured and helpless in the snow, and gave Caroline the only stretcher.He had been the one who casually stripped me of my accomplishments and handed them to Caroline.He had also been the one who forced me to compromise in front of the enforcement team, demanding that I

    After the pack assembly ended, I returned to my quarters to pack my belongings and prepare to leave.To my surprise, members of the enforcement team were waiting outside my door. Their expressions were grim."Luna, we've completed our investigation. It was Caroline who accidentally injured you, and you are entitled to compensation. You can use our official accident report to file a claim against her."I pinched the corner of the report just as Lucas received word and hurried back.He stood beside me while holding a settlement agreement.With a troubled look on his face, he took my hand and led me aside before speaking in a soft voice. "If word of this incident gets out, Caroline will be ostracized by the pack."I looked at him calmly. "What exactly are you trying to say?"Lucas handed me the agreement and pointed to the blank space at the bottom. "Just sign here. State that you lost control while skiing and injured yourself. Say Caroline had nothing to do with it."I looked at
