Chapter 44: The Price of Pack Loyalty

(Elena’s POV)

“Where is he?” I asked weakly, my voice barely above a whisper.

The Kindly Patient smiled gently at me. “He left, said he had something urgent.”

The elderly werewolf thought of something and added, “Oh, right, he paid for your healing treatment, quite a

kind young man.”

I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me. After regaining consciousness, I had inquired about the person who

had brought me to the healing facility, only to learn that he had already left.

But he had kindly paid my medical bills with moonlight herb treatments. I felt grateful, though I knew I might

The IV drip continued to flow into my system, slowly restoring my strength. My wolf Cora stirred weakly in my

mind, still recovering from the heatstroke.

everything, such genuine kindness was rare.

As I walked into the estate courtyard, I saw Elena walking towards me through Lantern Grove. Her pale face had regained some color in the sunset, making her look particularly beautiful.

Relief flooded through me. I felt my shoulders relax for the first time all day.

I quickly walked towards her, grabbing her wrist. The force of my Alpha grip nearly caused her to stumble into

my arms.
