**Chapter 8**

Alexander did not move when Victoria was dragged out of the Council hall.

That was how I knew the truth had finally reached him. Not because he suddenly believed me. Not because he had chosen me. But because Victoria had stopped being useful as an excuse. For hours, he had hidden behind her weakness, her tears, her trembling body in his arms. Now the Council had stripped that illusion away, and all he had left was himself.

I turned to leave, but Daniel stopped beside me. “Scarlett

  • My Mate Gave My Life-Saving Cure to His Ex   11

    **Chapter 11**The clinic was full by noon.Not because the pack had suddenly become sicker overnight, but because people finally understood that the Reed family no longer stood between them and my time. For years, Alexander’s relapses, Sarah’s medicine, Emma’s training injuries, and every Reed emergency had pushed other patients down the list. No one had complained openly. The Reeds were too powerful, and I had been too willing to bear the cost quietly.Now the waiting room was packed with border guards, young wolves, elderly pack members, and two mothers holding feverish children. Caleb stood at the front desk, moving faster than I had ever seen him.When I entered, the room fell silent.I did not like it.Respect was useful. Reverence was not. Reverence turned people into symbols, and I had spent too long being one thing for everyone else: Alexander’s mate, Reed family healer, the woman who never said no.“Patients will be seen by urgency,” I said. “If you are here to gossip, leave

    **Chapter 10**Victoria’s words hit the Council chamber like a blade.Alexander gave me the access code.For a moment, no one spoke. Even Sarah stopped crying. Every gaze turned to Alexander, and for the first time since I had known him, he looked truly cornered.“That’s a lie,” he said.Victoria laughed, the sound thin and sharp. “Is it? Tell them, Alexander. Tell them I guessed the code to your private study. Tell them I somehow opened a safe protected by Reed blood.”Alexander’s jaw tightened.Daniel stepped forward. “Alexander Reed, did you give Victoria access to your private study?”“No,” Alexander said.Victoria smiled. “Not directly.”The elder’s eyes narrowed. “Explain.”Victoria lifted her chained hands slightly. “He brought me there himself. After Scarlett left Moon Hall, he took me back to the villa. He said I was weak and needed a secure room. He opened the study safe in front of me to get old medical files, because he wanted to prove Scarlett had been exaggerating his co

    **Chapter 9**The recording spread through the Council faster than any official notice could.By morning, no one was pretending Alexander had only been deceived by Victoria. The words were too clear.She always comes back to me.I listened to that sentence once more before the hearing, not because I needed to hurt myself again, but because I wanted to remember exactly what kind of man I was walking away from.In the Council chamber, Alexander sat at the center of the judgment circle. He looked worse than the night before. His face was pale, his lips dry, and dark veins still crawled faintly beneath the skin at his throat. Without my blood therapy, his wolf core was struggling to hold its shape.He lifted his head when I entered.For one second, his gaze dropped to my throat, my wrists, my bandaged palm. Old instinct moved through his face. The Blood Moon was over, but his wolf still remembered where comfort used to be.I stopped outside the circle.Daniel stood beside the elders. “Sca

    **Chapter 8**Alexander did not move when Victoria was dragged out of the Council hall.That was how I knew the truth had finally reached him. Not because he suddenly believed me. Not because he had chosen me. But because Victoria had stopped being useful as an excuse. For hours, he had hidden behind her weakness, her tears, her trembling body in his arms. Now the Council had stripped that illusion away, and all he had left was himself.I turned to leave, but Daniel stopped beside me. “Scarlett, the Council still needs your full written statement before noon. Victoria’s case will be sent to the border tribunal, but the Reed family’s financial settlement will be handled here.”I nodded. “I’ll send the files from my clinic.”Alexander’s voice came from behind me. “Scarlett.”I kept walking.“Scarlett, please.”That word made me stop. Please. He had said it so easily during his relapses, mouth pressed to my wrist, body shaking under the Blood Moon while my blood kept him alive. Back then

    **Chapter 7**The first patient of the morning was a border guard with claw marks across his shoulder.He looked startled when I stepped into the treatment room. For a moment, his gaze dropped to the fresh bandage around my palm, then quickly lifted again.“Chief Healer,” he said, awkward and respectful in a way most warriors had never been with me before.I knew why.By sunrise, the entire pack knew what had happened in the Council building. Alexander Reed had lost his mate bond, his Alpha-heir status, and the blood therapy that had kept his wolf core stable for three years. Victoria Lane had been exposed as a Black Thorn rogue-pack asset. The Reed family accounts had been frozen. Every secret they had buried under pride, wealth, and my silence was now lying open for the pack to see.I pulled on clean gloves. “Sit down.”The guard obeyed at once.As I cleaned his wound, he kept stealing glances at me, like he wanted to speak but did not know how. Finally, he said, “I was in Moon Hall

    **Chapter 6**The final connection chamber was colder than I remembered.Silver lines covered the black stone floor, forming a circle beneath the Blood Moon window in the ceiling. Red light spilled down from above, mixing with the silver glow until the whole room looked like a wound that refused to close.The moment Alexander stepped in behind me, the doors shut.The bond reacted at once.Pain ripped through my chest, sharp and intimate, like invisible fingers hooking under my ribs. I staggered, but forced myself to stay upright. Across from me, Alexander dropped to one knee with a broken sound. His wolf rose behind him in a half-formed black shadow, restless and furious, pacing the edge of the circle.For three years, that wolf had known my blood better than its own strength.Now it knew I was leaving.“Scarlett,” Alexander breathed.I did not answer.The silver lines flared.The first memory opened between us.I saw him three years ago, lying on my treatment table, covered in blood
