The Lullaby of Wolfbane
“Never. They told me you were dead, everyone told me and I didn’t believe it. I couldn’t.”
Melody pulls back just enough to look at him, blinking hard. “I’m not dead,” she says, voice trembling but fierce. “I fought. I survived.”
His gaze drags over her, taking in the healer’s stance, the competence, the strength she’s wearing like armor she forged herself.
“You…,” he chokes out. “You’re. Look at you.”
Melody’s mouth tightens with something like grim pride. “I became what I had to,” she says simply. “I’m the doctor here, Dad.”
