Rowan's POV

I had never particularly cared what people said about me. Years of leadership had taught me that gossip circulated regardless of merit, that correcting every misconception cost more energy than simply allowing accurate action to eventually speak for itself.

This particular rumor proved considerably harder to ignore, precisely because it did not concern me directly.

It concerned Mira.

    Rowan's POVI had never particularly cared what people said about me. Years of leadership had taught me that gossip circulated regardless of merit, that correcting every misconception cost more energy than simply allowing accurate action to eventually speak for itself.This particular rumor proved considerably harder to ignore, precisely because it did not concern me directly.It concerned Mira.I noticed the shift among the pack over the following days, subtle at first, then increasingly unmistakable. Some warriors began addressing her with a formal deference they had not previously extended, offering the same particular respect they reserved for established pack leadership. Others, I noticed with growing discomfort, treated her with something closer to careful distance, polite but noticeably withdrawn compared to the easy warmth she had cultivated with most of the household over these past months.I found Garrick, one of my more senior warriors, discussing the matter quietly with an

    Mira's POVSomething felt different the moment our carriage crossed back into Blackwood territory.I noticed it first in the way people paused along the road, watching our approach with an attention that carried considerably more weight than simple curiosity about our return. A farmer near the boundary marker straightened as we passed, offering a bow so formal it startled me. Two children playing near the roadside stopped their game entirely, staring with wide, reverent eyes."Rowan," I said quietly. "Why is everyone looking at us like that?"He glanced out the window, something careful settling into his expression that immediately made me suspicious."I don't know what you mean.""You absolutely know what I mean."He did not answer immediately, and the silence stretched long enough that my suspicion sharpened considerably by the time we finally reached the pack house's main courtyard.The scene waiting for us there confirmed exactly how justified that suspicion had been.A considerab

    Rowan's POVI left Mira sleeping and returned to the main hall shortly after dawn, understanding the village still required considerable attention regardless of how badly I wanted to remain beside her.Wren met me near the entrance, exhaustion still evident in her own posture, though something considerably more hopeful had settled into her expression overnight."No new cases since midnight," she reported. "And every patient your companion treated has stayed stable. I've never seen anything like what she did last night.""How many total?""Eighteen, before she collapsed." Wren shook her head slowly, genuine wonder mixing with obvious professional curiosity. "I've practiced healing for thirty years. I've never witnessed anything close to what she managed in a single night."I nodded, understanding the weight of that assessment even as concern for Mira's continued recovery lingered heavy in my chest.The practical work of the following hours kept me steadily occupied. Organizing supplies

    Mira's POVI lost track of how many hands I held that night, how many fevers I felt cool beneath my palms, how many parents wept with relief as their children's breathing steadied under my touch.The work consumed me completely, the way it always did once I began, each patient pulling my attention entirely away from anything beyond the immediate task of easing their suffering. I moved from cot to cot, Maren directing me toward whoever needed help most urgently, and somewhere around midnight I noticed, distantly, that my hands had begun trembling slightly between patients.I ignored it. There were still too many people waiting.By the time I reached the far end of the hall, exhaustion had settled deep into my bones in a way I had never properly experienced before, not even during the accelerated bond's most demanding early weeks. Every healing drew something out of me now, a cost I had not fully appreciated until tonight, when the sheer volume of affected villagers had pushed my abilit

    Rowan's POVHealer Wren met us at the gathering hall's entrance, her hands stained dark from whatever tinctures she had been mixing all morning, exhaustion carved deep into every line of her face."Thirty four now," she said, not bothering with greetings. "Two more since the messenger left for Blackwood.""Show me the pattern," I said.She led us inside, where rows of cots lined the hall's floor, villagers young and old lying beneath damp cloths, some conscious and shaking, others still and pale in ways that made my stomach tighten with each passing bed. Mira moved immediately toward the nearest child, already reaching for a small trembling hand, and I forced myself to keep walking, trusting her instincts the way I had promised myself I would.Wren stopped beside a cot near the hall's center, gesturing toward the patient there, an older wolf named Garrick who I recognized vaguely from trade negotiations years earlier."Look at his arm," Wren said.I crouched beside the bed and studie

    Mira's POVThe messenger arrived breathless, having apparently run most of the distance from the outlying village of Thornhollow, and the urgency in his voice pulled both Elias and Rowan from their morning meeting before he had even finished delivering his message properly."Sickness," he managed, still catching his breath. "It's spreading fast. Humans and wolves both, though it seems to affect each differently. We've lost three already, and Healer Wren says she's never seen anything like it."Rowan's expression sharpened immediately, the particular focused alertness I recognized from every genuine crisis we had faced together."How many are affected in total?" he asked."At least thirty, last count. Growing by the hour."I found myself, standing nearby, already thinking through what supplies the infirmary might need to properly assist, the instinct considerably more automatic now than it would have been months earlier, before weeks spent working alongside Maren had properly grounded
