WICKED PROVIDENCE Book 2 70
Sadie’s voice dropped to a barely audible murmur, a flush of heat rising under her collar. “Yes... she is my Alpha mother. But do not speak of this to the elders yet. Just get here.”Meanwhile, back in the master quarters, Madison had summoned the senior omegas to apply ice-cold compresses to Avery’s burning skin, but the fever resisted all standard remedies.By the time Blake arrived and forced the medical team to move her, Avery’s condition had deteriorated far beyond a simple chill. The virus had bypassed her immune system, settling deep within her lungs.As the pack nurse adjusted the heavy silver IV line feeding synthetic nutrients into Avery’s arm, she couldn’t help but look at Blake with a critical eye. “If you noticed her pack scent altering days ago, you should have brought her to the clinic immediately. Allowing an Alpha’s fever to settle in the lungs endangers the whole territory. You are showing very poor instincts for a mate-candidate. Did you not perceive how compromised

“I am no certified pack physician,” Lacey snapped, her scent turning sharp with defensive pride as she pulled her hand back. “My knowledge comes from the old ways, from surviving the border skirmishes. If you want the pristine clinics of the capital packs, you will not find that caliber of luxury here.”Hudson held her gaze for a brief moment, his inner wolf remaining perfectly calm. He had not intended to question her capabilities, but he saw no need to offer a lengthy explanation to a defensive healer. Without a word, he accepted the wooden bowl, tilted his head back, and swallowed the bitter liquid in three large gulps.Poison was the least of his concerns. Had this rogue enclave wanted to harvest his organs or surrender his body to the border mafia for a bounty, they would never have expended their rare medicinal herbs to knit his chest back together.Lacey stood perfectly still, her eyes tracking the movement of his throat until the bowl was completely empty. As he handed it back

Alpha Avery," Dr. Ryan Mercer said, stepping out of the intensive care unit with a heavy sigh. "The pup has sustained severe internal trauma. She was struck with significant force—likely a heavy kick to the abdomen from a fully transformed wolf. We are currently monitoring the internal bleeding. Worse still, the growth-inhibiting potions have severely compromised her immune system and suppressed her inner wolf."Seeing the desperation turning Avery's eyes wild, the doctor quickly added, "Rest assured, the pack medical team will do everything within our power to stabilize her."Avery’s vision blurred, the weight of the pack's survival pressing heavily on her chest. For the next three days, she refused to touch any meat or water, remaining locked in the medical room by Sadie’s side. The surgery to repair Sadie's internal organs had been successful, but the pup remained in a deep, magic-induced coma.While she watched over her daughter, Avery kept her mind linked to her tracking pack.

"Let the rogue bleed, Delaney," Hudson Montgomery commanded, his voice slicing through the roar of the underground river. "Step away from Sadie."Delaney Cross spun around, her bloodied claws retracting slightly as she stared at Hudson. He stood on the slick stone of the cave shore, a silver-tipped blade pressed firmly against Madison Clarke's throat. The young beta female’s scent was saturated with sheer terror."Please," Madison whimpered, her wide eyes locked onto Delaney. "Alpha, save me.""Such a pathetic excuse for a wolf," Delaney snorted coldly, tossing a contemptuous glance toward Hudson. "Slay her if it pleases you, Hudson. Her bloodline means nothing to me. Do you honestly think I care about a broken beta?"Madison gasped, staring at Delaney in shattered disbelief. Her misplaced loyalty to the rogue faction had just cost her everything.With a look of profound disgust, Hudson shoved Madison away. He lowered the silver blade, his icy gaze fixed entirely on Delaney. "I never

"Do you have any inkling where the trackers might have taken your sister?" Avery Monroe asked, her hands shaking as she stared at the terminal.Grant Lawson slammed his fist on the metal table, his young wolf snarling just beneath his skin. "Her internal beacon is dark, Mom. They either smashed her comm-link or dropped it in the deep rapids of the Scarlett Vale. We need to mobilize the vanguard right now. If we storm the border, we can cut off their convoy before they reach the high crags!""No, we can't risk a full pack-war without knowing her exact location," Avery countered, a bitter winter chill seeping into her limbs as she forced her racing thoughts into alignment. "Victoria has completely broken her omega-bonds; her sanity is gone. If our enforcers charge into her territory blindly, it will only trigger her survival instincts and push her to do something fatal to Madison." She took a sharp breath, her eyes flashing amber. "I have to find Hudson Montgomery. He is the only anchor

Grant's fur bristled, his young wolf sensing the shift in the air. "Wait, I’ll run the trail with you. The forest is thick today.""No, stay here, Grant," Sadie snapped, her voice cracking as she shook her head. "Sophie is the only one I want with me. You need to stay at the den."Grant, baffled by the sudden coldness from his friend, pressed closer. "But why? The Montgomery guards are still at the gate."Sadie gripped Sophie’s hand so hard her knuckles turned white. "I just... I just need Sophie right now. Only her."Sophie, feeling a wave of sympathy for the girl she thought was being bullied by her own mother, patted Sadie’s head. "It’s okay, Grant. Stay and guard the house. Mom will be back from the council meeting any minute. It’s best if you’re here to meet her."Grant gave a reluctant nod, his ears flattened. "Fine. But don't stay out past moonrise."Just as they reached the threshold, Sadie halted, her gaze lingering on Grant with a haunted, final look. "Grant, don't forget—we
