As the storm drove the boat toward the rocks, Celine ran to the island's eastern shore, following a tide line from her own map.She found three people in the surf. A middle-aged couple were tangled in a mooring line, while a young man braced a splintered hull plank against his shoulder, shielding them from the next impact."There's an undertow ten steps to your left!" she shouted. "Let go of the plank and follow the silver line!"She poured wolf soul into the map and a brief safe route lit up among the rocks. The man did not question it. He pushed his parents toward her first and went into the water last.By the time all four reached shore, the whip wounds on Celine's back had split open again. Still, she made it to the lighthouse with the strangers before sliding down the wall.The woman introduced herself as Mara Ashford before peeling away Celine's soaked bandages. Her fingers trembled at the sight of old scars crossing fresh ones, but she asked no questions. "We tend to your wounds

The wardens set up a temporary hearing table on the sea cliff to verify Celine's renunciation of Redridge citizenship and her request to void the pact.Warren raised an objection first. "She signed while badly injured and emotionally unsettled. At the very least she should confirm it again once she has recovered.""I'm perfectly clear-headed right now," Celine said.Warren looked at her. His lips moved, but in the end, he offered no further objection.Gavin lined up the investigation records as if they proved the family had already done enough. "Cassandra's hired killers, the poison, the false illness—it's all proven. Father revoked her status. Mother surrendered the ledgers. I resigned as deputy Alpha. We'll compensate you.""That's you taking responsibility for what you did wrong. It's not a bargaining chip for buying me back."Delia could no longer hold back her sobs. "Then what can we do to earn one chance?""I gave you chances." Celine met her eyes. "Before every draining, I told

Celine asked Callum to open the door.Delia had spent three days in the rain and exhausted her core essence in the sea fog. Her body temperature had fallen dangerously low. Celine allowed them to carry her beside the hearth, but first drew her own wolf-soul scent tightly inward."There's a medicine chest here," Celine told Warren. "Follow the instructions and warm her gradually. I won't use my wolf soul to heal her."Warren nodded at once. "We won't ask you to. We can care for her ourselves."When Delia woke and saw Celine, she caught her hand. "I knew you could never truly abandon your own mother."Celine pulled free. "I opened the door because you'd have died outside. It doesn't make us mother and daughter again."Hope crumbled across Delia's face."But you still care about me.""Caring whether someone lives or dies isn't the same as walking back into the place that hurt me."Rafe stood in the doorway and said quietly that they could stay outside the island forever. He no longer aske

For the next two months, Redridge sent apology letters to the North every day.Celine opened none of them. She had the clerk return every letter with a statement refusing private contact. Rafe occasionally submitted evidence through official channels; she answered only when her signature was required.Then a letter bearing a Council clerk's wax seal arrived at the studio.The letter claimed that the original sigil plate from the altered moon map was hidden in an abandoned moonstone mine. Rafe had found the entrance and asked Celine to unseal it in person, promising to leave the North for good afterward. The letter carried Rafe's fir-and-rust scent, and the clerk's wax seal passed inspection at the door.Celine did not go alone. She gave Callum the destination and took two northern enforcement wolves with her. Nothing appeared unusual outside the mine, but both guards lost consciousness the moment they crossed the entrance.Silverthorn powder sifted from the ventilation shafts, suppress

When Celine woke, she was lying in a rescue tent outside the mine.The silverthorn wounds had been treated. Her wolf soul was weak, but it had not run dry again. The healer explained that when the vein burst, everyone had shielded Celine at the center. She had suffered the least.Callum, Mara, and Edmund were still behind the stone doors of the operating chamber.Eclipse burns had penetrated their core essence, and ordinary medicine could not remove them. Celine gripped the bed frame and stood. "Use my wolf soul."The healer stopped her. "It's incompatible. Your essence comes from a tidal moonwell. Their injuries lie in three separate systems: the core, the scent channels, and the wolf-form ember. Forcing your essence into them would make the rejection worse.""Then what do we do?""We find matching donors. Each injury requires a different source, and donation may permanently weaken the donor's wolf form."For the first time, Celine hated that her wolf soul could not save the people sh
