The Wolfless Doctor Chapter 92
Two hours later, Owen and I sat across from Lydia in a secured interrogation room. She looked different from the confident young woman who had challenged me to a duel. Her dark robes were gone, replaced with simple prison clothing. Her hands were bound with magical restraints that glowed faintly with suppression magic. But her eyes were still sharp and intelligent as she studied me."You saved my life," she said without preamble, her voice lacking the manic confidence it had held during our fight. "After I tried to kill you and steal your abilities, you still saved me from the corruption. Why?""Because letting you die would have made me like The Covenant," I said simply. "They killed people who threatened them. I heal people who need help. Even when those people are my enemies.""That is weakness," Lydia said, though her tone was more thoughtful than accusatory. "My father always said compassion was the fatal flaw of healers. That caring about enemies gave them power over you.""Your

"Your healing ability is functioning at approximately sixty percent capacity."Dr. Whitford delivered this news three days after the duel with a clinical detachment that made it somehow worse. I sat on the examination table in my own healing center, the irony not lost on me that I was now a patient in the facility I had built."Sixty percent," I repeated, the number feeling both better and worse than I had feared. "So I lost forty percent of my power permanently?""We do not know if it is permanent yet," Dr. Whitford said carefully, reviewing her charts with a frown. "The extraction ritual Lydia used was interrupted before completion, which means the damage might heal over time. Your body could regenerate the lost capacity naturally, or it might stabilize at this reduced level. We simply do not have enough data on interrupted ability extraction to predict the outcome."Juniper stood beside the exam table, her hand on my shoulder in silent support. She had barely left my side since the

The coordinates Lydia had sent led to an ancient stone circle deep in the forest, the kind of place that felt wrong the moment I approached it. Old magic saturated the air here, making my skin prickle with warning. This was a place where reality was thin, where the barrier between worlds was fragile.Perfect for dark magic.Perfect for stealing abilities.I arrived exactly at noon as Lydia had specified, wearing simple clothing that would not restrict movement and carrying nothing but the protective charm Serena had given me. Behind me, hidden in the forest at least a mile away, the entire coalition waited. They could not come closer without risking the hostages, but they were there, ready to charge in if needed.It was a small comfort.Lydia was already there, standing in the center of the stone circle with a confidence that made her look older than her twenty one years. She wore dark robes similar to what Covenant scientists used to wear, and her hands glowed faintly with dark magic

I wanted to believe her, I wanted to accept that my hero complex was a strength rather than a weakness. But standing there in the darkness, knowing five children were suffering because of me, it was hard to see it as anything but a curse."If I go to this duel and lose," I said quietly, voicing the fear I had not spoken aloud to anyone. "If Lydia takes my abilities, promise me you will stop her. Promise me you will do whatever it takes to destroy The Inheritors before they can rebuild The Covenant.""I promise," Aurora said without hesitation. "But you are not going to lose. You are stronger than Lydia. More experienced. More determined. And you have something she does not have.""What is that?""People who love you. People who believe in you. That kind of support makes you powerful in ways dark magic never can."I hugged her then, grateful for her friendship and her faith in me even when I could not quite have faith in myself.When I went back inside, Owen was waiting in our quarters

"We have checked sixty seven locations in five days and found nothing."Lucas threw the latest reconnaissance report on the table in frustration, his normally calm demeanor cracking under the pressure. We were running out of time and we all knew it. The duel with Lydia was in two days and we still had not found the hostages."There must be something we are missing," I said, studying the map where we had marked every location we had searched. Abandoned buildings, old Covenant facilities, remote warehouses, everything we could think of. "She has to be keeping them somewhere. Five teenagers cannot just disappear without leaving any trace.""Unless she has help," Damon suggested, pointing at the wider regional map. "She said she was recruiting, remember? Building The Inheritors. If she has members positioned throughout the territory, they could be moving the hostages every few days. Staying ahead of our search."That thought made my stomach sink. If The Inheritors were already organized e

The ritual started gently, almost deceptively so. I felt a small tug on my life force, like something was pulling energy from deep inside me. It was uncomfortable but not painful.Then the intensity increased.The gentle tug became a strong pull. My life force was flowing out of me in a steady stream, feeding the magical prison that held The Architects. I gasped as the sensation grew stronger, like I was being slowly drained of everything that made me alive.Beside me, Aurora was experiencing the same thing. Her hand gripped mine so tightly I thought my bones might break, but I held on because we needed to stay connected throughout the ritual.The First Born chanted in that language that hurt to hear, their voices weaving magic that surrounded us like chains. I could feel the prison strengthening, could sense The Architects raging against their bonds as the renewal reinforced what held them.One hour passed. The pain was constant now, a deep ache that radiated from my core to every ne
