I rushed through the hospital corridor toward the exit. My grandfather's condition had finally stabilized after a night of terror. The specialist I'd arranged had worked miracles.

I checked my phone again. Three missed calls from Olivia. Guilt gnawed at me as

remembered refusing her request to visit the Ancient Moon Temple.

"Mr. Blackwood?" Thomas called, holding the car door open. "Where to, sir?"

"Maple Grove," I replied, sliding into the backseat. "Quickly."

As we approached Silverfang Bridge, I saw Olivia's blue sedan swerving wildly across lanes. A

school bus had just pulled onto the bridge ahead of her.

"Stop the car!" I shouted, already reaching for the door handle.

Time slowed as I watched Olivia's car veer sharply left - away from the bus, toward the bridge

railing. The crash of metal against metal echoed across the water as her car broke through

the guardrail.

"Olivia!" I screamed, running toward the railing.

Her car hung suspended for one terrible moment before plummeting into the churning waters.

of Moonstone River below.

I was already climbing over the railing when strong hands pulled me back.

"You can't jump!" Travis Walker shouted. "The current's too strong! You'll both die!"

I struggled against his grip. "Let me go! She's drowning!"

"Call the Timber Ridge Rescue Squad!" Travis yelled to the gathering crowd.

Reality crashed over me. Travis was right. The Moonstone River was notorious for its deadly

currents. If I jumped, I'd only add another body to recover.

I pulled out my phone with shaking hands, calling every contact I had with water

experience. Money, resources, equipment - I promised it all.

The wait for the rescue team was excruciating. Each second stretched into eternity as I paced the bridge, my eyes never leaving the water's surface.

Travis approached cautiously. "Alpha Blackwood, there's a small chapel near the Ancient Moon Temple. Many wolves find comfort there in times like these."

Without another word, I walked to the small stone structure. I'd never been particularly spiritual, but in that moment, I would have bargained with any deity who would listen.

I knelt before the simple altar. "If she survives this, I'll fund Elder Tobias Gray's sanctuary for the next decade. Just let her live."

The arrival of sirens pulled me from my desperate prayers. The Timber Ridge Rescue Squad had arrived, along with several other teams I'd called.

Unable to stand by uselessly any longer, I stripped off my jacket and shirt and dove into the frigid river. The cold hit like a physical blow, but I pushed through it, searching desperately in the murky depths.

Hours passed. The sun began to set. My muscles screamed with fatigue, but I refused to stop.

"Alpha Blackwood!" A shout from the shore. "They've found the car!"

I swam toward the voice with renewed energy. A group of divers had surfaced, their

expressions grim.

"The car's empty," the lead diver reported. "Driver's side window is broken. She might have

escaped before it sank completely."

Hope flared in my chest. "Then she could still be alive. We need to expand the search
