Riley's voice was hollow. "There must be a way. I'll think of something, find a solution. We'll find him somehow."Professor Smith sighed softly. "Forgive my bluntness. Your parents died because their research was compromised. Inadequate security allowed criminals to find an opportunity to strike. This time, before the research concludes, no outsider will be able to find them."Riley seemed to have lost her soul, her voice stubborn. "I'll find a way."Professor Smith felt compelled to warn her. "If you make a public search for Caleb, you could put him in danger. Riley, don't forget what happened to your parents. If you truly care about Caleb. Respect his choice."Riley's pupils trembled suddenly.The midnight snowfall had turned the vast North City into a silver-white landscape.It seemed to freeze her completely as well.She stood motionless, her fingertips too numb to move.Caleb was gone.And she couldn't even try to find him.Professor Smith turned and closed the front gate behind

(Caleb's POV)I left the research institute fifteen years later.The drug development had been a complete success, and the silver poisoning antidote for werewolves was approved to be marketed at affordable prices.I attended the press conference with my fellow researchers and mentors.Many silver poisoning patients and their families spontaneously came to the venue, moved to tears as they expressed their gratitude.That day happened to be the Full Moon Festival, the anniversary of my parents' sacrifice in the line of duty.Time seemed to have rewritten their ending.I suddenly remembered that night many years ago when my mother held me gently and said:"If we make progress a little faster, those patients could afford the medicine before the New Year and have a better holiday."Back then, I understood little about many things.I couldn't comprehend the burning passion and mist in my mother's eyes.She said softly. "In this world, too many patients choose to give up their lives because o

I returned to North City to visit my mentor, Professor Smith.After fifteen years apart, his hair had turned completely white.He told me about Alexa and Riley's collapse and remorse during the fifteen years I'd been gone.Riley had fallen into despair, ending up in the emergency room dozens of times due to alcohol poisoning.Alexa, in her years of grief, had volunteered for numerous medical experiments and research projects at the academy. The constant all-nighters and overwork had caused her health to deteriorate steadily.As for Wesley, he'd been expelled from the pack and stripped of his stolen identity. Accustomed to a life of luxury, he refused to scrape by like the orphan he had once pretended to be. The pack medical fund that had been paying for his respiratory treatments was cut off, and his condition worsened without proper care.He tried to break back into the pack house twice in the first year, trying to steal — once jewelry, once Alexa's grandfather's hunting knife. He was

I hurried to the hospital.Over the years, Alexa had devoted herself to medical research, giving it her all.Both as a mentor and a researcher.Now, not yet fifty, her body was already riddled with ailments.I entered the hospital room and sat beside her.Suddenly, I remembered my daughter's birthday party the day before.She had come to see me in her wheelchair, forcing herself to make what must have been a final farewell.Riley sat across from me, her expression grief-stricken.This woman approaching fifty covered her face, weeping uncontrollably.I looked at Alexa with tubes inserted throughout her body, monitoring equipment beeping steadily.An oxygen mask covered her mouth and nose. She struggled to speak, but I couldn't hear her voice.After decades as siblings, I could easily read her lips.She was calling me, repeatedly, urgently but weakly."Caleb. Caleb."I remembered that heavy snowfall again, remembered the twenty-two-year-old Riley holding me tightly. As long as your siste
