The Healer’s Fatal Warning
I'm a top healer at the Neutral Territory Sanctuary.
The full moon watch had been draining. I'd barely stepped out the Sanctuary's grand doors when my phone blew up. It was the trauma wing.
"Cora, get back here. Now. A patient just came in, severe wolfsbane poisoning. The Head Elder wants you leading the team!"
My healer's instinct took over. I turned without a second thought.
But then, a string of bizarre, floating red words appeared before my eyes—a fatal warning.
【DON'T YOU DARE STEP INTO THE ADVANCED HEALING ROOM! DON'T JOIN THIS RESCUE!】
【THE LUNA IS ALREADY DEAD. IF YOU GO IN NOW, YOU'RE JUST A SCAPEGOAT FOR THE ELDER'S DAUGHTER!】
【THIS PATIENT IS THE IRONCLAW PACK'S LUNA. THE ENRAGED ALPHA WILL TEAR YOU TO SHREDS. YOUR MATE AND FAMILY WILL BE DRAGGED DOWN WITH YOU!】
My feet froze to the spot.
After a few seconds of dead silence, panic and a raw will to survive squeezed my heart.
I decided to bet my life on those red lines.
I was going all in.
My Lycan vision scanned the dark street.
My eyes locked onto it—an abandoned wolf trap at the corner of the street. The metal grate was gone, leaving it exposed.
I clenched my jaw, squeezed my eyes shut, and without a second of hesitation, I leaped into that bottomless black hole.
