The Healer Who Stopped Healing Him Chapter 9
Tessa's POVStepping out of that bar, the cold northern air filled my lungs.I took a deep breath. I could still feel the echo of Callum's desperate howl on my skin.Wyatt took off his suit jacket and draped it over my shoulders. The clean scent of rich cedarwood wrapped around me."Cold?" he murmured, his eyes soft."No." I leaned into his side and started laughing. Tears streamed down my face.They weren't sad tears. They were tears of relief. Of freedom."What's so funny?" He gently pinched my cheek."I'm laughing because I'm finally free," I said, looking up at him. "Wyatt, thank you.""Don't thank me," he whispered, kissing my forehead. "Thank us."On the way back to the hotel, we passed an art gallery.In the window was a painting of a golden wheat field, so warm and bright the sunlight seemed to be spilling out of the frame."That one," I said, pointing. "For the lobby of the medical center. To remind everyone who walks in that there's always light after the darkness."Wyatt bou

Tessa's POVLess than two hours after we got back to the hotel, the lobby's revolving door squealed as someone slammed into it.I looked up. I almost didn't recognize her.Freya. She was skeletal, her cheekbones jutting out. Three jagged claw marks ran from the corner of her eye to her jaw, the edges of the wound a sickly purple. Vampire venom.The proud, deadly Beta who had flaunted her battle record a year ago was gone. Without my advanced serums, her so-called power had been burned away to nothing."Tessa…" She scrambled toward me, her voice a high, broken whine. "Please. Save us."The hotel guests stared.I held my coffee cup, not even bothering to look up. "Freya, do you know how pathetic you look right now?""I know I wronged you," she sobbed, collapsing onto the cold marble floor. "I was jealous. Jealous of how Callum's wolf was naturally drawn to you. I'm the one who leaked the secure tablet's override code. I wanted to ruin you…""So you destroyed my father's reputation, and n

Tessa's POVOne year later. A private airstrip in the southern neutral zone."How does it feel to be back on the northern border, my queen?"A low, sexy voice murmured in my ear. A custom-tailored coat, smelling of rich cedarwood and pure Alpha, settled firmly over my shoulders.I turned and smiled into Wyatt's laughing eyes.He was the leader of the southern Obsidian pack, a pure-blooded Alpha from a line far older than Red Maple's. He was also a billionaire, the CEO of a global tech empire.His gold-rimmed glasses couldn't hide the predatory gleam in his eyes, but whenever he looked at me, that power was banked, replaced by a deep, restrained adoration."As long as I'm with you, even the northern wind doesn't feel so cold." I leaned into his strong embrace.In the year since I'd left Red Maple, I had taken my new formulas south. Wyatt had given me unlimited resources and respect. His wolf was naturally protective of me, instinctively deferential to my own power.We were here to bid o

Callum's POVThe study door crashed open, slamming against the wall.Freya stormed in, her eyes swollen, her voice sharp and shrill."You lied to me!" She pointed at me, her whole body shaking. "You said Tessa's father took the blame! You've been lying to me all day! I went to the Silver Moon estate—she hasn't been abandoned by her family at all!"I tore off my tie and threw it on the desk, my patience gone."I don't have time for this.""No time?" She lunged at me, grabbing my shirt. "Tessa's gone! She blocked you! Do you have any idea what you've destroyed?"I shoved her hand off me, my voice like a razor's edge."I'll tell you why I did it."I stared at her, hammering each word home."If you lose your authority, the front line collapses. Tessa… she has the entire Silver Moon council behind her. I had to use her father to block the fallout, just for a little while. I'd use my power and money to make it go away later. She grew up in a gilded cage. She'll get over it. I'll go get her i
The Healer Who Stopped Healing Him Chapter 5
An hour later, I stood in front of my parents' estate in the heart of Silver Moon territory, suitcase in hand.The moment I pushed the door open, I froze.My father was sitting in a plush armchair in the study, wearing a silk robe, calmly reading an old book.A fire crackled in the hearth.This was not a man about to be tried for treason."Dad?" I asked, my voice cautious. "The news said…""The news," my father scoffed, closing the book. He looked at me, his eyes sharp. "Tessa, did you think I'd spent thirty years on the Council just to be some pushover?"He pulled a file from a hidden compartment and tossed it on the table in front of me.The seal of the High Werewolf Council was stamped on top, blood-red and stark."Application for political protection and countersuit," my father said, his voice cold, almost cruel. "It was approved three days ago. The Tribunal has already secretly acquired the true communication logs from the Red Maple front line."My head snapped up. "You knew?""I

"Move." I shoved past Freya's shoulder, not giving her a second glance.I'd only taken a few steps when my phone started vibrating like crazy.It was the Red Maple head of security."Miss Tessa! Something terrible has happened!" His voice was choked with panic. "The High Council just issued a top-level warrant! The formula for the secret healing serum… the one your father sponsored in the council… it's been stolen by the vampires! The Tribunal is launching a full investigation!"I stopped dead. The blood drained from my face."That's impossible!" I choked out. "The highest level of access to that data is restricted to me, Callum, and the frontline commander, Freya! The system is physically isolated!"Only ragged breathing came from the other end of the line.Ten minutes later. The emergency council room.The air was thick with tension.Callum sat at the head of the table, his face a thundercloud.Freya was at his right, her hands clenched so tight her knuckles were white."Run a full d
