The Healer’s Fatal Warning Novels & Stories

The healer swallowed. “Alpha, I only left for a moment. You instructed me to inform you as soon as she woke.” “And instead you left an injured wolf alone.” The reprimand landed heavily. The healer lowered his head immediately. “My apologies, Alpha.” Damian didn't answer. “Pray to the goddess she doesn't leave the four walls of this castle” “Now leave” The healer paused. “Alpha” “I said leave.” The healer bowed quickly and exited. Silence returned. But not peace.

“Alpha, I’ve done all I can. The poison’s already done too much damage. It’s in her brain now… There’s nothing I can do to reverse it.” I felt my temper boiling over, the frustration and fear coiling tightly in my chest. “You need to heal her!” I demanded, my voice low and dangerous. “Or I swear you’ll regret it. If you don’t want to lose your life today, you’ll find a way!” I snapped. The healer’s gaze flickered with fear, but she remained firm. “Alpha, I’m telling you, there’s nothing that can be done to save her now. The poison has done too much damage. Even the most powerful healers would struggle with this.”

"I might be human, but I'm not helpless. Push me too far, and you'll find out exactly how dangerous a healer can be." I should've been angry at her threat, but instead, I felt a surge of admiration. This tiny human, barely reaching my shoulder, was standing up to an Alpha werewolf without so much as a flinch. "You've got balls, little healer," I said, grinning. "Fine. You'll have your freedom, within reason. But you'll have a guard with you at all times, and you'll obey pack rules. Step out of line, and there will be consequences. Clear?"

he growled at her, making the healer lower her head in fear. “I apologise, Alpha….but it's my duty and responsibility to tell you the truth with no concealing and it's the truth. If she wouldn't wake up within hours then things might get out of hand,” the healer uttered, keeping her eyes grounded. Jared glared at her before snapping his gaze towards Raelyna's direction. “Do everything possible. Nothing should happen to her….no matter what,” Jared's warning was laced with a nefarious threat along with a pleading too.

The rumors spread wildly, reaching my sister Alice's ears at the healing center. Alice took her own life. When the caretaker's call came through, Alice was already drawing her final breaths. I knelt on the ground, frantically begging the healers to let me out to see Alice one last time. But the healers told me helplessly that without Marcus's permission, no one was allowed to let me out. Seeing the desperate plea in my eyes, one doctor took pity and offered to let me call Marcus directly. If he agreed, they would escort me to the healing center immediately.

“Too many. More than I can count. I would never…never…leave him again.” “This is different,” the healer said. “This is for his good.” I shook my head, tears blurring my vision. “No. No, you don’t get to say that.” “If you leave him,” he went on, unwavering, “his body will begin to recover.” My chest rose and fell erratically. “If you want him to keep decaying,” he added, his voice cutting deeper, “then stay.” My hands curled into fists. “Stop.” “If you want him to rot,” he continued, “then hold on to him.”

This network was larger. Stronger. More unstable. Which meant the collapse would happen faster. I forced myself fully upright despite the pain. The healer immediately tried to help support my weight again. “You should not be walking.” “I have to warn her.” “Warn her about what?” I looked directly into her frightened eyes. “The truth.” My body shook slightly from exhaustion as I took a slow step forward. Then another. The healer stayed close beside me nervously. “You really think there’s no time left?” she whispered.

Only then did it settle into a new position. Forward stepped the healer without delay. “That’s enough,” she said firmly. “She needs rest.” Fingers curled tighter, Sierra’s grip pulled at Micah’s. “Wait - ” “She won’t be able to speak anymore tonight,” the healer insisted. “Whatever poison is in her system has weakened her badly.” Fire sat heavy behind my ribs. Smoke curled up from thoughts stuck in a loop. “She almost told us.” “And if you keep pushing her,” the healer replied calmly, “you may kill the only witness you have.”

[ Bima: “What are you talking about, Kirill? He’s just a student! He knows a different kind of healing, that’s all.” Kirill finally turned his full attention to Bima, but the anger was still simmering in his obsidian eyes. [ Kirill: [ A low, warning tone ] “A different kind of healing, Bima, can be as dangerous as any weapon in the wrong hands. And some ‘students’ are far more than they appear.” ] He then looked back at Elian, his gaze unwavering. [ Kirill: “I suggest you keep your distance from my ward, Elian. For both your sakes. The academy is already crawling with too many prying eyes, and I do not tolerate… complications.” ]

He pointed a warning look at me and I let out a low growl. I didn't have the strength to argue. Still, the same urgency that had pushed me into the mountains was still burning inside me. But I knew better than before, I would have to control it this time. If I rushed ahead without thinking, I could lose the time this potion had given me. The healer collected her supplies. “I'll check on you again within the hour,” she said. The healer gave me one final warning look before leaving, as though she already knew I would try to get out of bed the moment she was gone.
