Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

The Alpha King is unavailable 199

The steady beep of medical equipment filled the private room at Silvercrest Pack Medical Den. Olivia Winters lay motionless on the hospital bed, her chestnut hair spread across the white pillow, her skin nearly as pale as the sheets that covered her.

Dr. Marcus Fletcher's words echoed in my mind: "Although we've revived her body, her will to

live is gone."

I pulled my chair closer to her bedside, taking her cold hand in mine. Three days had passed since I'd pulled her from Silvermoon River, and still she hadn't awakened.

"Olivia," I said softly, my thumb tracing circles on the back of her hand. “I know you can hear

me somewhere in there."

No response. Not even a flicker of her eyelids.

"You're stronger than this, I continued, my voice low but firm. "I've seen your strength at the Crystal Competition, how you held your head high despite everything."

The monitors continued their steady rhythm, mocking my efforts.

I leaned closer, my gray suit jacket brushing against the edge of her bed. "Olivia, your daughter Lily needs you to be strong," I murmured, my eyes never leaving her face. "She wouldn't want

you to give up."

At the mention of Lily's name, something changed. A single tear escaped from beneath Olivia's closed eyelids, trailing down her pale cheek.

But then the monitors shrieked in alarm as her heartbeat plummeted dangerously. "Doctor!" I shouted, jumping to my feet and rushing to the door. "We need help in here now!"

Dr. Fletcher and two urses rushed in, pushing past me to reach Olivia.

"Her heart rate's dropping," one nurse reported urgently. "Blood pressure falling."

Dr. Fletcher worked with practiced efficiency, administering medications through her IV line while barking orders to his team.
