Chapter 11

Cain reached for the document with shaking hands.The instant his fingers touched it, the confirmation took effect.The Mate Bond was forcibly severed.Cain's wolf howled in agony—a raw, keening cry.He dropped to his knees, his face a mask of disbelief."How is this possible?!" he roared.Severing the Mate Bond required both signatures to take effect.Then it hit him. That afternoon, two weeks ago.I'd walked into his study.I'd smiled and told him it was an agreement waiving all claims against Vivienne."You've finally come around. That's what a real Luna does." He'd even praised me for it.Then he'd signed without hesitation.What had my face looked like in that moment?He couldn't remember anymore.All he remembered was rushing out to find Vivienne the second he'd signed.He hadn't even looked back once.Cain gripped the document so tightly his knuckles went white, his fingers trembling violently.His nails dug deep into the flesh of his palms."Alpha, should we launch a pack-wide

Chapter 12

The memory stone's light projection flickered to life.The first recording began.Vivienne stood alone in the kitchen.Without hesitation, she plunged her own hand into the boiling soup pot, scalding herself badly.Then she pulled out a small packet of wolfsbane powder and emptied it into the soup.She collapsed in the kitchen doorway and began screaming hysterically.The image cut directly to Cain rushing downstairs in a panic.He ran to Vivienne and gathered her in his arms, frantically asking about her injuries."Lock Wren in the silver prison!" He immediately turned and gave the guards a cold command.The second recording followed without pause.Vivienne was walking down the corridor outside the silver prison, carrying the so-called "silver-detox remedy."Just before entering, she pulled a vial of diluted wolfsbane from her pocket.She poured the entire contents into the bowl."Higher dose this time. Let's see how long you last." She smirked, talking to herself.A second later, she

Chapter 13

The Beta spoke quietly."Alpha, there's one final recording in the memory stone.""It was captured the night of the promotion ceremony."The light projection flickered back to life in the study.This segment had no visuals—only audio.The roar of wind at the cliff's edge.Woven through the gale, two women's voices.Vivienne's voice was so clear it could have been right beside him."You think you won?" Vivienne in the recording, dripping with satisfaction."Your mother, your brother—they're all like this because of me, aren't they?""So what's one more?"Then came the sharp, gasping sound of my throat being crushed.A dull thud—my lower back slamming against the low stone railing at the cliff's edge."Once you're dead, Cain is mine." Vivienne's vicious declaration.Then a brief rush of wind, and the sound of me falling—growing fainter and fainter.After that, nothing.Only the sound of waves smashing against the base of the cliff.The Beta stood there for a long time."Alpha..." he fina

Chapter 14

After Vivienne's brazen confession, Cain didn't immediately lay a hand on her.He looked at her in absolute silence for several seconds.The way he looked at her—it was as though he were seeing her for the very first time.After a long pause, Cain finally spoke.His voice was very quiet. He began listing her crimes, one by one."In the kitchen, you deliberately burned your own hand. Then you framed Wren without hesitation.""You prepared a bowl of diluted wolfsbane. You looked me in the eye and told me it was a detox remedy.""You paid three exiled rogues with gold. You had them ambush Wren at the border. They beat her until her face was covered in blood.""You hired a banished dark shaman. You had him torture Wren for an entire week.""You went to Iris's room every week. You injected her with poison to make sure she'd never wake up.""And finally, you pushed Wren off that cliff."With every crime he named, Vivienne's face lost another shade of color.But through it all, she never once

Chapter 15

Cain had just ordered Vivienne into the lowest level of the silver prison.The Beta's urgent call came through immediately."Alpha, the search team found a body in the reef zone at the base of the cliff." The Beta's voice was shaking. "Preliminary assessment... it's the Luna."Cain's hand froze around the phone.His mind went blank. His throat couldn't produce a sound.He spun around and sprinted out of the Alpha residence.He floored the accelerator all the way to the coastline beneath the cliff.The search team had already retrieved the body from the cold, jagged rocks.It lay on a flat stretch of gravel.The truth was, over these past days, Cain had been desperately refusing to believe I was dead.Every day, he'd told himself the same things."She's too smart. She would never let herself die like that."He stubbornly believed I'd been carried by the current to another shore.He was even convinced that a passing fishing boat might have rescued me.So when the Beta told him over the p

Chapter 16

Thousands of miles away, in the far North.I lay quietly in a bed in Thorne Pack's highest-level medical ward.The television on the wall was cycling through breaking news from the southern Blackwood Pack."Luna of Alpha Cain Blackwood has been confirmed dead from a cliff fall." The anchor's voice was cold and clinical."Sources indicate that Alpha Cain has suffered a complete mental breakdown and has been in indefinite seclusion.""All daily operations of Blackwood Pack are being managed by the Beta until further notice."I glanced at the screen once, then pressed the power button.Though I was far away in the North, I'd been kept fully informed about everything happening in the South through Alaric's secret channels.I knew Cain had watched every blood-soaked image in the memory stone and collapsed in his study.I knew he'd destroyed Vivienne's hands.I knew he'd thrown her into the deepest silver prison and was subjecting her to every cruelty she'd inflicted on me, doubled.I knew h

I was finally discharged.I settled in completely within Thorne Pack territory.Rowan arranged a sturdy little cabin for me, close to the medical center.It was quiet and safe, with a fenced private yard.Every day, I went to the ICU to visit Iris at the same time.I held her unresponsive hand and sat beside her, talking.I wiped her cheeks with a warm cloth, over and over.Iris's eyes remained shut. There were no signs of her waking.Ethan's silver-toxin rehabilitation finally showed real progress.He could now clench his teeth and make his way down the hallway with a cane.My life in the North was quiet and stable.This existence had completely shut out the nightmares of Blackwood.Before I knew it, nearly a full year had passed since I'd arrived.The deep, bone-reaching wounds on my body had fully healed.Rowan was the Alpha who governed the entire vast North.He had to manage an enormous weight of territorial affairs every day.But I gradually noticed a pattern that was impossible

Chapter 18

Vivienne's crimes were exposed in full.Cain submitted a copy of the memory stone recordings—every image of my suffering—directly to the Wolf Council's highest assembly.The self-inflicted kitchen burn staged to frame me.Hiring exiled rogues with gold to ambush me at the border.Secretly conspiring with a banished dark shaman to torture me for a full week.Continuously poisoning my mother Iris to prevent her from ever waking.And finally, that night at the promotion ceremony, pushing me off the cliff into the raging sea.The Council immediately issued a full-network arrest warrant and a detailed crime report across all packs' public boards.The entire werewolf world erupted in condemnation."The criminal healer must pay with her life!""Hand her over for the highest tribunal immediately!"Vivienne was locked deep in the lowest level of Blackwood's silver prison.Through the narrow gap in her cell door, she could hear every vicious curse hurled from outside.She tried to lift her arms

Chapter 19

Life in the North moved at a much slower pace than Blackwood.I'd been here for over a year now.The money Alaric had left, combined with Rowan's quiet support, was more than enough.I'd opened a small herb shop at the edge of Thorne Pack territory.I sold everyday health remedies and handmade balms.The work was peaceful and unhurried.I had plenty of time each day to sit with Iris at the medical center.Ethan had made a full recovery.He'd resumed intensive training and was now an elite warrior of Thorne Pack.Apart from Iris still showing no signs of waking, everything was moving in the right direction.Sometimes I'd close up shop and sit alone in my yard, lost in thought.It all felt slightly unreal.A year ago, I was being force-fed wolfsbane in a freezing silver cell.I was being tortured in a dark shaman's chamber.I was falling from a cliff into black nothingness.Now I was sitting peacefully in my own little yard.Eyes closed, warming in the sun.Breathing in the scent of the

Chapter 20

Rowan, the witch, and two elite healers were already waiting inside.When Rowan saw me enter, he waved me over immediately.The witch and healers exchanged a glance, nodded respectfully to Rowan, and all stepped outside.Only Rowan, Iris, and I remained in the room.Rowan handed me the latest wolf-spirit data pad."Iris's wolf showed clear autonomous fluctuation during deep hibernation." Rowan spoke quietly."This is the first time in nearly two years that the instruments have detected an active signal at this level."The witch's professional assessment was that Iris's survival instinct was remarkably strong.Her wolf hadn't been killed outright—it had entered an extremely deep hibernation, undergoing slow self-repair.With continued treatment, her waking was absolutely possible.My eyes flooded instantly. Everything blurred.From everyone constantly declaring it hopeless—to "absolutely possible."I'd endured nearly two years of waiting.Rowan reached out and gently wiped the tear slid
