Kellan and I set out that night and?hurried?to Tervo.

The workshop lay in ruins, walls black with soot.

Broken jars and shards covered the floor, the air thick with a poisonous smell.

Several injured apprentices had been stabilized and treated.

Melissa was covered in black residue, her hair singed unevenly and her arms covered in burns. She sat slumped amid the wreckage, her eyes hollow.

Thorold and Seraphina rushed in, took one look, and went pale.

Seraphina caught sight of Melissa and started

She secretly mixed potent serums, trying to produce something remarkable to prove her talent and overturn her sentence. But she lacked basic knowledge and refused instruction. The explosion was in

    Half a year passed.Clinical trials for my next-generation restorative serum were complete.It worked better than the first version, cost less, and could be mass-produced.It could be produced in quantities large enough to supply elderly, frail, and lone wolves in every pack.The?Academy?held a grand ceremony and publicly announced that I alone deserved credit.Every pack received samples, and countless sick wolves benefited.More and more wolves knew my name.Kellan came to visit me at the?Academy.My brother arrived in silver-white armor,?looking more mature?and dependable than ever. He was one step closer to inheriting the Alpha King's position."Winnia, your serum is the talk of every pack.?Mom and Dad?couldn't sleep from excitement."He handed me a communication crystal, smiling."They want to know when you'll visit Northhaven."I took it and nodded."As soon as I finish the follow-up experiments, I'll come home.?And?how is Melissa doing at Tervo?"At her name, Kellan's expression

    With?the?Tervo pack's affairs settled, Alaric left half his warriors under Kellan's command?to?help run the territory.A few days later, I?packed light and got?ready to leave for the?Academy.On my last night there, warm light from hide-covered lamps filled the Northhaven tent.My adoptive mother, Rowena King, packed for me?herself, placing one valuable item after another into my bag."Once you reach the?Academy, focus on your research. You don't have to prove yourself at every turn."If anyone mistreats you, no matter how serious it seems, send word at once. Kellan is close—he?can reach you whenever you need him."Alaric sat to one side, tapped the table,?and spoke?slowly."Kellan will send you regular reports about Tervo. Read them when you have time. If you're too busy with your research, you can leave everything to him. We?have?your back.?Go ahead and?pursue your dream without worry."Kellan, across from him, added with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't let anything go wrong in Tervo.

    Every member of the pack was summoned to the altar.When they learned the pack had changed hands, fear spread across their faces.?They?stood with their heads bowed on both sides of the great hall.Thorold and Seraphina stood at the edge of the altar with their hands at their sides, their former spirit gone.Now and then they stole a look at me, regret and flattery mixed in their eyes.They still privately believed that because their blood ran in my veins, I would never drive them to ruin.Melissa stood beside Seraphina with her head lowered but her eyes constantly shifting, still trying to find a way out.Alaric looked around at every member of the Tervo pack. His voice carried through the hall."From this moment the Tervo pack is formally part of Northhaven. The ordinary members of this pack will not be held to account. They will live and work as before. But Thorold, Seraphina, and Melissa will pay for what they have done."The hall was utterly silent. No one dared?object.Afterward I

    The instant Thorold saw that face clearly,?he froze. His arrogance vanished, and a chill shot up his spine.Of course he knew that face.Alaric King was?the ruler of the Northhaven pack, the Alpha King who ruled dozens of packs, and the most powerful?wolf?on the continent.When he had quietly looked into my adoptive parents'?background, his men had deliberately kept him in the dark.They'd given him a doctored report, and he'd taken them for two low-ranking Omegas.It had never crossed his mind that my adoptive father was the Alpha King.Seraphina did not know him, but the presence coming off?Alaric?left her shaking.All her scorn disappeared, replaced by deep fear.No one dared?question?the Alpha King.Melissa stood frozen with fear.Panic crossed her eyes, but she forced it down. She racked her brain, thinking a few sweet words might still win Alaric's sympathy.Thorold swallowed hard. He hurried forward with a deep, deferential bow, nothing of his former Alpha bearing."Alpha King!
