All Chapters of Extreme Rescue: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

In all my twenty years, I had never known the feeling of being on the edge of death—until my wolf power was utterly drained. The blizzard howled, carrying the sharp scent of silver dust. It coiled around me like invisible chains, choking the breath from my Inner Wolf, locking him deep within. My wounds—deep gashes from a brutal fight with Rogues—hadn’t even begun to heal. Blood oozed out, freezing almost instantly in the bitter cold. I had fallen into a crevasse. My limbs were numb. The wind screamed in my ears, and I could feel my life slipping away, breath by fading breath.But I wasn’t afraid. Even as the end crept closer, I found myself smiling faintly, trying to comfort the two young wolf pups I had nearly died protecting—Holly and Lvan.“Don’t cry, little ones,” I whispered, my voice hoarse. “I’m just… tired. Go down the mountain first, okay? I’ll catch up after I rest a little.”Lvan, stubborn as ever, kept digging at the ice with his tiny, bloodied paws, refusing to give up on

Ten minutes later, Xander and I arrived at the location where Daisy was supposedly trapped.But the moment I saw the scene, I froze.Across the vast, icy expanse of the glacier, hundreds of faint green lights suddenly flared to life—tiny, glowing orbs suspended in the night. Every wolf in the rescue unit had silently taken their places in a perfect circle, each holding luminous fluorite stones in their mouths. They floated in the darkness like fallen stars.At the center of it all stood Daisy.She wore a crown of glowing fluorite on her head, and in her hands, she held a ring forged from a meteorite, shimmering under the soft moonlight. She stood tall and proud, bathed in the ethereal glow like a queen awaiting her king.Xander stared at the spectacle in silence, then began walking toward her slowly.I remained in the shadows behind him, unable to discern the expression on his face.Was it confusion? Shock? Or… undeniable delight?“Xander,” Daisy whispered, throwing her arms around him

“Seraphina?”At the sound of that name, both Xander and Hudson froze.They exchanged a look, quickly masking their expressions.“It can’t be her,” Hudson said with a shrug. “She’s the strongest warrior in the pack. A glacier’s nothing for someone like her.”“But if someone from the patrol went missing out there, she’d definitely go,” he added. “She’s the team captain. If she’s there, the mission will go smoother.”Xander nodded silently.Time was tight. They didn’t return to HQ but went straight into the glacier. The patrol hadn’t given them a location, so their best shot was to find the missing patrol member and gather more information.Holly and Ivan nodded, confused but trusting, surrounded by the older wolves.The higher they climbed, the stronger the blizzard became. Eventually, the team had to take shelter in a crevice to wait out the storm.Hudson threw a thick blanket over the two pups. “Get some rest. We’ll wake you when it’s time to move.”Ivan shook his head. “I can’t sleep.

The savage wind howled once more, tearing across the ice that pinned down her body. It slipped between the wolves’ fur like a thousand frozen needles, making even the strongest of them tremble. Xander could no longer control the chaos of his wolf energy—it tore through him until he collapsed into his human form, his knees slamming into the snow. Even Hudson—who had never liked Seraphina, who had always challenged her—stood frozen, eyes wide, staring unblinking at the corpse lying three meters below the ice.“This can’t be real…”He murmured, almost in denial, reaching out instinctively toward the icy tomb.“Seraphina…”But Xander was faster. He lunged forward, shoving Hudson to the ground with brute force.“Don’t touch her.”His eyes were blood-red, fixed on Hudson’s throat like a predator scenting weakness. Rage and grief radiated off him like a storm.“You killed her.”“I—I didn’t know…”Hudson’s voice cracked. His dry lips fumbled over the words, pale and trembling.“If I’d known it

Holly and Lvan’s parents arrived to take the children home.The two children wiped their tears while facing the ice mountain.“Sister, we’ll come back to see you again.”“No, you can’t.”I floated before them, shaking my head.“At least not until you’re grown. It’s too dangerous here. Let your family worry less.”“Sister?”Lvan cheerfully called out, “You’re not dead, right?”Before I could respond, Lvan’s face faltered, and he covered his mouth, whispering with a trembling voice, “Sister, are you here to say your final goodbye?”I didn’t know why they could see me, but it didn’t stop me from nodding.I gently kissed both of the little ones on their foreheads and solemnly told them:“Don’t take that mad woman’s words to heart. I’m the patrol captain. Protecting you is my responsibility. If I had to do it again, I would make the same choice.”“So, my dears, don’t blame yourselves for this. I only hope you grow up safe and strong.”“We will, Sister.”“We’ll train hard to become brave and
