Semua Bab I Stopped Caring, He Started Panicking: Bab 1 - Bab 8

At the pack headquarters, my job was to treat severely injured warriors. As the most gifted chief healer of the pack, my healing abilities were known throughout the entire werewolf alliance.My hands could mend injuries that other healers found hopeless, even bringing back warriors on the brink of death from silver poisoning.Even heavily wounded patients from other packs often traveled great distances to seek my help. Every time I watched a gravely wounded soldier stand up again and embrace their mate after my treatment, I felt a deep sense of fulfillment.That was why, even as a Luna, I still chose to keep studying the healing arts.My hands hovered over a patient’s wound, and a gentle healing light flowed slowly from them.Shattered bones began to knit back together under the guidance of my energy."Chloe, I knew you’d be here."At the sound of that voice, my hands trembled slightly.It was my mentor, Elder Healer Maureen Sawyer, the most respected healer in the pack. She hadn’t

Lately, Aiden seemed frustrated with how distant I had become.He started leaving early in the morning and coming home late at night, deliberately avoiding me. He even severed our mate link. Just like that.I sat by the window, watching moonlight spill across the floor, a dull ache blooming in my chest.Part of me wanted to chase after him and demand answers like I used to. However, with our impending separation, maybe this quiet distance was for the best.Then, five nights later, he suddenly asked, "Will you go with me to the Full Moon Gathering this time?"I nearly bit my tongue. When I looked up, there was actual hope in his eyes.Sure, Aiden had brought me to pack events before, but this wasn’t just another gathering. This was the Full Moon ritual, a private circle reserved only for the ones closest to him. It wasn’t about the ceremony itself; it was about who got to be there. Only a few of his oldest, most trusted friends were allowed to join. Even their mates weren’t usually i

The next day, Lana and Mark were cast out of the pack.A torrential downpour soaked the earth as the guards forced them to the border."This is all your fault!" Mark shoved Lana hard, his voice full of fury. "If you hadn’t gotten so cocky, we wouldn’t have been caught!"Lana stumbled and fell into the mud, staring up at him in disbelief. This was the same man who had once whispered sweet nothings into her ear and promised her the world."But... but you said you’d take care of me..."Mark laughed coldly. "Take care of you? What do you even have to offer, besides your body? You don’t even have a wolf, and you really thought you could be Luna? Don’t make me laugh."With that, he turned and walked away without a second glance.It was then that Lana finally realized he had never cared for her. She had been nothing but a pawn he used to gain access to the pack’s resources. Now, without the protection of the pack and a wolf of her own, Lana was left to fend for herself.She drifted fr

The tenth time Aiden broke into the silver dust zone, he knew he was playing a dangerous game.The first time, he had only been mildly poisoned and was easily treated by a standard healer.However, when he didn’t see the familiar figure he longed for during treatment, he ventured deeper the second time."Maybe if I get hurt badly enough, she’ll appear..." he murmured to himself, charging into the toxic zone again and again. Each time, his injuries worsened. Yet every time, it was someone else who treated him.By the fifth time, he was coughing up blood. By the seventh, his skin was riddled with burns from the silver dust, festering and raw.Still, he refused to give up because deep down, he knew that she was hidden somewhere in this facility.This time, he threw himself into the densest part of the toxic zone with something close to a death wish. The silver dust surged into his lungs. Just before he lost consciousness, he caught a fleeting trace of a familiar scent.When he awok
