Chapter 119: Fragile Spirits and Shattered Peace

(Lucas's POV)

I paced outside the therapy room, checking my watch every few seconds.

Forty-five minutes had passed since Olivia went in with Dr. Nora Xu.

My phone buzzed with messages from my pack, but I ignored them all. Right now, nothing mattered except making sure Olivia was okay.

The door finally opened, and Dr. Xu emerged alone. Her expression was grave as she gestured for me to join her in a small consultation room across the hall.

"How is she?" I asked immediately, not bothering with pleasantries.

Dr. Xu sighed, removing her glasses and rubbing the bridge of her nose. "Not good, Alpha Blackwood. Ms. Winters is experiencing severe psychological trauma."

My stomach tightened. "Tell me everything."

"She's exhibiting clear signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, complicated grief, and depression," Dr. Xu explained. "The incident at Silvermoon River wasn't her first suicide

attempt."

I felt the blood drain from my face. “What?”

"She confirmed that jumping into the river was deliberate," Dr. Xu said quietly. "And based on our session, I believe she's still at high risk."

I clenched my fists, fighting to maintain my composure. "What can I do? How can I help her?"

Dr. Xu's expression softened slightly. "She needs medication, which I've

prescribed. Regular therapy sessions are essential. But most importantly, she needs constant companionship

right now."

She leaned forward, her voice firm. "She cannot be left alone, Alpha Blackwood. Not even for

short periods."

I nodded, taking mental notes. "What else?"

“Keep her in a positive environment, away from pack politics and especially away from Alpha Stone and Victoria Frost," Dr. Xu continued. "Any interaction with them could trigger another

crisis."

I frowned, confused. "Her daughter's remains?"
