Nolan’s POV

The news of Talia’s disappearance put my wolf into a rage. He began clawing at my resolve, demanding we go into the forest to find her. ‘She is OURS! She is in danger! Go to her now!’ he snarled.

I forced my wolf down, but it was getting harder. The pendant on my chest was barely holding him back now. “She is safe,” I muttered under my breath. “I would feel it if she were not.”

‘Safe? How?’ my wolf snarled. ‘This pendant you have placed on us has dulled our senses. You are heartless. She could be bleeding right now while you stand here pretending control matters more than her life.’

Jason walked up to me looking smug as if he had conquered me. The urge to snap his neck was almost too strong to resist. “Tell me, Alpha Nolan,” he drawled, “will you still join in the Rite? Or has this little spectacle drained your appetite?”

“Of course I join,” I answered coldly. “Why wouldn’t I?”

His smirk widened as he said, “Just checking. Some wolves might be distracted, with Talia missi

    Talia’s POVWerewolves rarely get drunk. Our bodies burn through alcohol so fast that most of us can drink all night and still barely feel anything. I used to be the same, but everything was different now.Two glasses of wine at dinner left me dizzy and my face hot. The room didn’t spin, but I could barely walk in a straight line. All my words came out slurred.Solon noticed right away. “That’s it for you,” he said quietly, taking the glass from my hand before I could lift it again.“I’m not a child,” I responded, reaching for the glass but he kept it out of reach.“You’re done,” Solon stated and then gestured to the guards by the doorway. “See her to her room.”“I don’t need babysitters. I can walk on my own,” I told him, though the words came out weakly.“I know you don’t, but after what happened not too long ago,” he said. “I'd rather we be careful.”“Good night then,” I pouted and left the dining hall with the guards. The guards followed just behind me, trying to give the feeling

    Talia’s POVTwo days later, I was cleared to leave the hospital. My body still felt weak, but the doctors agreed I was well enough to leave. Father arranged a dinner that evening to thank both Leslie and Nolan for what they had done.The long table in the dining hall was set with all my favorite foods. Leslie sat across from me, her red hair loose around her shoulders. Nolan sat at the far end of the table as if he was trying to stay as far away from me as possible. Father took the central seat, and Solon sat beside him.Father raised his glass and said, “To Healer Leslie for using her skills to save Talia, and to Nolan, who risked his life. Without either of you, Talia would not be here.”Everyone lifted their cups. Leslie grinned and clinked her glass against mine. “You were a challenge worth taking,” she said.After the first course, Father leaned toward her. “Silverfang could use a healer like you. Will you stay here? You would be honored and well provided for.”Leslie shook her h

    Talia’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, I felt relieved. It had taken me so long to wake up. I continued to follow the voices until I finally was able to open my eyes. A woman I didn’t recognize was sitting next to my bed, reading a book. I shifted in bed, trying to lean up which caused her to look up from her book. She gave me a small smile, as if she had been waiting for me to wake up. I then noticed Nolan slumped against the wall. His head rested back, and his skin was pale. A tube ran from his arm to mine.I licked my dry lips and managed to say, “Nolan.”His eyes quickly opened, and he turned his head toward me. He looked worn down, but hearing my voice seemed to give him energy. “You’re awake,” he said. I cleared my throat and said, "How long...how long have I been out?""You’ve been unconscious for a week," Nolan answered. His response surprised me. I really thought it had been longer. I turned back to the girl as she started to remove the bandages from my arms and shoulders. “Y

    Nolan’s POVLeslie evaluated Talia’s condition. She checked her bandages and her last test results. She pressed her hand against Talia’s forehead and closed her eyes for a few seconds. Then, she pulled it back with a sharp sigh.“This doesn’t look good,” she said. “Based on her last test results from this morning, her fever is much higher now. The wolfsbane has spread through most of her system. If we don’t act now, she won’t make it.”Her words unsettled me, and I said curtly, “Then stop wasting time. Do what you need to do.”"Are you always this impatient?" she asked. I didn't answer her. Leslie rolled her eyes before pulling a small wooden box out of her bag. When she opened it, a bitter scent came from the dark green spring she pulled out of the box.“This is the Moonbane Herb,” Leslie explained.“I know what it is,” I responded. “Get on with it.”“Don’t rush me,” Leslie snapped. She cleared her throat and then continued, “Once you swallow it, the pain will be unbearable. It feel

    Rudolf’s POV By the third day, Talia’s fever worsened with every passing hour. The doctors had failed to break it. Solon, Della, and I stayed by her side around the clock, placing her in ice baths to cool her down. Every report on her condition told the same grim story: she was dying.Solon stormed into her room as I was changing out the rag for her forehead to a cooler one. “Father, this is madness. You should never have sent Jason and Nolan. They are unreliable. Jason only thinks of himself, and Nolan, he, I don’t know what he’s doing, but I know this will not end well for none of us.”“Do you think I had a choice? Our doctors admitted they could not save her. We needed Healer Leslie, and neither of us could leave Silverfang to search for her,” I replied. Word had spread about our defenses lacking. Both of us needed to be here to defend Silverfang in case someone tried to take advantage.“Still, trusting them was reckless.” Solon muttered.Before I could answer, Beta Logan burst in

    Nolan’s POVThe next day, Jason and I reached the Windpaw pack. Compared to Silverfang, it was small, but the territory was well cared for. It was a quiet, countryside pack territory. This was the kind of place where someone went to disappear and enjoy the simple things of life. Alpha Lane met us at the gate. He looked like a man who had spent most of his life outdoors. His skin was tanned, and his hands were rough with old callouses. Gray streaked through his beard and at his temples, but there was still strength in the set of his shoulders. “Greetings Alpha Jason.” He greeted Jason without hesitation, but when his gaze shifted to me, there was caution. “And you as well, Alpha Nolan.”I simply nodded to him, allowing Jason to rely on his connections to get us to the healer.“Greetings, Alpha Lane. We appreciate you seeing us on such short notice,” Jason responded.“You contacted me about Healer Leslie yesterday. I assume you came for her,” Alpha Lane added. “But I hope there won't
