He lay on the bed, gasping for breath. The village doctor gasped in awe. "Bone regeneration? My God, I'm witnessing the legendary bone regeneration technique! You're a miracle worker!" The doctor stared at Wendy in disbelief. Benny's face drained of color. "What's bone regeneration?" The doctor quickly explained, "You've misunderstood her. She's not trying to harm you. In fact, she's saving your leg. Your injury was so severe that there was a great chance you'd lose it, but this young lady is using a technique to help regenerate the bone. Your leg is going to be fine!"

He adjusted the screen and pulled up the X-ray he had just taken. “Come,” he said. I stepped beside him. He pointed at the illuminated image. “This is a standard human skeletal structure.” He pulled up a comparison scan. “And this is hers.” At first glance, they looked identical. But then he zoomed in. “Here,” he said, pointing near the spine. “There is an abnormal density along the vertebral column. Almost like reinforced bone layering.” My brows furrowed. “That could be a defect,” I said.

Even if I had to, I'd drag someone down with me. A rusty axe lay in the corner of the cabin, left behind after chopping firewood. Without hesitation, I grabbed it and swung at the lock. A loud clang echoed across the entire pack's territory, sending birds scattering from the rooftops. After a dozen swings, my arms burned with pain. The lock finally snapped. I shoved the door open and bolted. Under the moonlight, my skin gleamed an eerie violet. Clearly, the wolfsbane had seeped into my bones.

he offers. "No, the black plague coffee will do fine," I say. "Great, let's go," he says. The clouds are hiding the sun. The sun doesn't like my town. It disappears in winter and plays hide and seek in summer. The world never wants it to be warm for Natalie Ashman. Collin's fancy car needs a car wash badly. The rain and mud have made it look like a Dalmatian. "Collin, let's go to the carwash. I'll pay. It's like a Disney ride over there," I say.

“It’s a very low percentage but from what I heard he survived the impossible in the snow so I’m guessing he’s going to survive this one too.” I rolled my eyes. “Don’t tell me even you believe that bullshit. There were no snow monsters and no snow whatever, they were possibly drunk on wolfsbane and didn’t see anything. They should be checked for head traumas too because they must have suffered a lot during their drinking spree.” “The data does not lie,” she smiled. “It showed here he suffered from severe violence. His bones show that they had reformed during his fight. That is a new feat I have not seen before.”

Chapter 109: The winter had settled into the bones of the village, a deep and unrelenting chill that no fire seemed to fully chase away.

The wolves moved slowly, their bodies conserving energy, their voices muted, the laughter of the children replaced by the quiet hum of survival.

He said, clutching his chest dramatically and making beating movements "Damn it Eion. I can't stand how cute you are. I'll melt here." I wanted to say that but I stopped myself. "Well, when we first met, it was summer. And then you had a heart like a winter. So cold. I was thinking that maybe your heart was stuck in winter." I smiled. "At least my heart is in winter when it produces Snow in cold weather. My Snow."

She was ghostly pale, tears streaming down her face, staining the paper with her daughter's name. I could not help but smirk at her misery, "Still think I'm just a jealous guy who faked a death certificate to trick you? Come on, I'm not about to break the law over you." "Don't worry, Sheila. We'll have more kids someday." Jeff tried to soothe her, wrapping her in his arms. I snorted. "Sheila's got fibroids, plus the damage from Chloe's birth. She can't have more kids. You didn't know?"

POV: Barzil A column of pale, dust-covered figures marched against a fortress of iron. From the ridges of the Bone Wastes, we were a line of steel and grit extending three miles.
