Chapter 1

"I'm not going.""Olivia, are you insane?"Liam Parker snatched the mission order from my hand and slammed it down on the herb table in front of me."This is a direct command. You're the only one who can complete it."I lowered my head and continued wiping the glass vial in my hands."I said I'm not going.""Look at this."Liam flipped to the final page of the mission order. His knuckles turned white from how tightly he was gripping the paper."Rare wolfsbane poisoning. Organ damage has already exceeded seventy percent. The remaining time to prepare an antidote is less than twelve hours. There's a life hanging in the balance here!"My pestle stopped mid-motion."Olivia, you're the only one who can break down the poison in time and create the antidote."Liam stepped closer and lowered his voice."If you don't go, she'll die in the Healing Grove."I poured the finished herbal powder into a bottle, then turned to face him."Liam, you've followed me for six years. You should

Munskar's voice didn't waver. It was firm and decisive, as if he wasn't making a life-changing decision, but simply throwing out a number."I'll transfer half the payment right now. Once you save Vivian, I'll send the rest."I said nothing.When he heard my silence, he assumed I was wavering.So he raised the offer."I can give you military merits too. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you—"I cut him off."Munskar, when I said I'm not taking the mission, I wasn't negotiating with you."The breathing on the other end of the phone suddenly grew heavier."What do I have to do to make you agree?""Nothing. I won't agree no matter what you do."His voice dropped lower, stripped of all warmth."Do you even understand the situation right now? The poison has already reached her vital organs! Someone's life is at stake here!""I know.""You do?"His composure shattered instantly."You're the only one who can save her! You won't even think about it before refusing? You're just

I took the phone from Liam and looked down at the screen.The photo was blurry, but I could still make out the outline of an old hospital. Behind it stood a towering mountain, dark and endless beneath the night sky.The last message read, [I'm here. I'm scared. Let's talk tomorrow. Good night.]"Olivia!"Liam suddenly broke down."I know Munskar did this! He's trying to force you to agree!""Don't panic.""How can I not panic?"He pressed his forehead against the cold floor, desperately gripping his hair."Every year, witches are sent to Snow Town, and some of them never make it back. She's just a girl. How is she supposed to survive there? Please, Olivia. I know you hate Munskar. But Ophelia is innocent. Why is she being dragged into this?"He cried so hard his shoulders shook violently."You can hit me or yell at me. I don't care. Please, save my daughter!"I reached down and helped him to his feet."Liam, get up. I promise you, Ophelia will be safe."Liam froze, tears

Liam's eyes were bloodshot. He turned and charged forward.I grabbed him and held him back."Don't."Munskar watched as I restrained Liam, and the smile on his lips grew wider."I already told you. I'm giving you two hours to think about it. But since you refuse, I had no choice but to come here myself."Timora stepped forward in her high heels, sorrow written all over her face."I know you think we're being unreasonable. But that's my daughter. She's only eighteen, yet she's already been fighting for her life in the Healing Grove for sixteen hours!"Her eyes turned red-rimmed as she wrapped her arm around Munskar, who gently patted her shoulder. Then he slowly turned back to me, his gaze cold enough to freeze the air between us."Twenty million. I can transfer it right now. Get in the car, and we'll leave immediately.""I told you already. I won't take this mission.""You're still negotiating with me?"He tilted his head slightly, his contempt impossible to hide."Fine. Na

As soon as I finished speaking, the air froze.Munskar's laughter came to an abrupt stop. The smug satisfaction on his face hadn't even faded before it twisted into pure disbelief.He clearly never expected me to say something so reckless.Timora's face went pale. The hand clutching Munskar's arm tightened suddenly, her nails digging into his skin."Munskar, she is insane! A crazy witch like her will do anything! Vivian can't die!"She screamed without restraint.A dark, vicious look settled in Munskar's eyes. He glared at me and hissed through gritted teeth, "You wouldn't dare.""Try me."My voice remained calm."Nora has been waiting for me in the afterlife for ten years. I've lived long enough. If I can drag you and the one you love most down with me, it'll be worth it."I raised my hand and pulled the silver necklace from around my neck.Inside the tiny vial hanging from it was a drop of liquid, shimmering like a piece of morning dew trapped in glass."This contains con

Munskar never expected that I had already prepared for this."What exactly do you want?""I don't want anything."I calmly lowered the glass vial and hung it back around my neck."I already told you. I'm not doing it. Now leave. Transfer Ophelia back to the Healing Grove in the city, and withdraw the order to shut down the Herbalist Guild. After that, we go our separate ways, and we leave each other alone.""No!"Timora screamed at the top of her lungs."My daughter is still in the Healing Grove fighting for her life. You have to save her!""That's your daughter, not mine."I gave her a cold glance."Ten years ago, when Vivian got nothing more than a small injury, Nora was dying in the emergency room. Back then, why didn't you ask Munskar to save the antidote for Nora?"Timora was speechless. Her lips pressed tightly together as tears streamed down her face.She turned to Munskar, her voice breaking as she cried."Munskar, look at her! She's doing this on purpose! She just

When we returned to the herb room, Liam finally couldn't hold back his question."Olivia, you planned for all of this?"I nodded, then I poured him a glass of water."From the moment I received the mission, I knew he would try something like this. So, I contacted someone I saved in the past. By now, Ophelia should have already arrived at his place. I asked him to keep an eye on her. The moment anything happened, he was to take her away immediately."Liam accepted the glass, but his hands wouldn't stop shaking."Thank you for saving my daughter, Olivia.""You don't have to thank me."I looked out the window."You've stayed by my side for six years. I won't let you get dragged into my problems.""But..."Liam hesitated."Munskar won't let this go. He'll definitely find another way to force you."I didn't even blink."I know. I'm waiting for it."Just as I expected, it didn't take long before a heavy, urgent pounding echoed from the iron gate outside.Along with it came Mun

Everyone turned toward the voice.A werewolf in a black suit slowly walked over, several lawyers following behind him. Each carried a briefcase in their hand.He stopped beside me and pulled out a business card, handing it to Damian."I'm Olivia's attorney. Whatever the matter is, discuss it with me."Damian accepted the card. When his eyes landed on the name printed on it, his expression shifted slightly.Thorne Law—a name known throughout all the packs. He was a legendary figure who specialized in administrative disputes, with a perfect record since the beginning of his career.Munskar's face turned livid."Mr. Law, this is an internal matter. You'd better stay out of it."Thorne replied in a calm and unwavering tone, "Munskar, I am Olivia's legal representative. Protecting my client's legal rights is my responsibility. All toxic substances in my client's possession have complete documentation. They were obtained legally and are fully compliant with regulations. You have no a

Munskar's and Timora's eyes lit up instantly, looking like two mutts drowning who had suddenly found a rock to cling to."But I have conditions."I looked at them, my gaze cold and unwavering."First, tomorrow at ten in the morning, you will publicly apologize to me at the pack council meeting. You will admit that ten years ago, you abused your authority, took away the antidote, and caused my daughter's death. Second, you will voluntarily step down as Alpha and accept an investigation. "Third, Timora will admit the truth about what happened back then. You will admit that you deliberately deceived Munskar into taking the antidote away."Timora's face turned deathly pale."No! That's not true! I didn't do it on purpose!""Whether you did or not, you know the answer better than anyone."My gaze turned icy."I checked the surveillance footage from the Healing Grove back then. Vivian didn't even have a scratch on her knee after she fell. However, you still insisted that Munskar se

Chapter 10

"Ten years ago, I abused my position as Alpha and took away the only antidote that could have saved a life. My decision cost my own daughter her life. I failed her and Olivia. Today, I stand here to offer them my deepest remorse. If I could turn back time, I would never make the same choice again."After saying those words, he bowed deeply. He stayed that way for a long time, never lifting his head.Timora also stepped onto the podium.Through her tears, she admitted the truth. She confessed that she had deliberately staged Vivian's fall back then and deceived Munskar into taking away the antidote.The moment the press conference aired, all werewolf packs erupted."I never thought Munskar would be the worst Alpha our pack has ever had.""He was willing to abandon even his own daughter. How heartless can someone be?""Shouldn't we be condemning Timora too? She created a lie and cruelly caused the death of a five-year-old pup. How can she live with herself?""They need to be puni
