Chapter 137: Escape and Revelation

(Sophia Rivers’s POV)

The pack nurse’s footsteps echoed down the sterile corridor of Dr. Vincent Kane’s private clinic. Her voice rang out cheerfully as she approached my healing cot.

“Time to eat!” she called, balancing a tray of food.

I remained motionless, my breathing shallow and controlled. The nurse’s cheerful expression gradually shifted to concern as silence greeted her repeated calls.

“Miss Rivers? Are you alright?” Her voice carried a note of worry now.

Fear flickered across her face as she fumbled for her keys. The outer door clicked open, and she rushed toward my still form on the healing cot.

The moment her hand reached toward me, I struck. The syringe filled with sbane exnged into her

neck with deadly precision.

Her pupils contracted violently as the poison coursed through her system. “You…” she gasped, her voice barely a whisper before consciousness fled.

Her body crumpled to the floor with a dull thud. I struggled off the bed, my disabled right hand trembling with

the effort.

Moving quickly despite my injuries, I closed and locked the door behind her. My fingers fumbled with her uniform as I stripped the unconscious nurse.

The fabric felt foreign against my skin as I dressed in her clothes. With tremendous effort, I lifted her limp form onto the healing cot where I had been imprisoned.

I stared down at my trembling right hand, the one Marcus had destroyed. Hatred burned in my chest like

molten silver.

My eyes filled with unwillingness and rage. I would escape the Southern Territory, no matter the cost.

Our patient was an eight–year–old werewolf pup suffering from a rare parasitic brain infection. Professor Theodore’s hands moved with the precision of decades of experience.

“Excellent work, Elena,” he said as we completed the delicate procedure. “Female lead healers are becoming increasingly rare in our field.”
