Chapter 323

(Ethan's POV)

I burst through the doors of the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den, my heart hammering against my ribs. The antiseptic smell hit my nostrils as my wolf's protective instincts flared to full alert.

Victoria sat in her Raven-Trimmed Wheelchair outside the Bloodrush Chamber, her face streaked with tears. When she spotted me, her composure crumbled completely.

"Ethan..." she sobbed, her voice breaking as she reached for me. Her wolf's distress pheromones filled the corridor, triggering my Alpha instincts.

"Emma was fine this afternoon," I said, my voice tight with anxiety. "How did she suddenly become critical?"

My amber eyes darted between Victoria and the closed doors of the emergency room. My wolf paced anxiously beneath my skin, sensing danger to a pup under my protection.

Victoria's hands trembled as she clutched at my sleeve. "She was fine before bedtime," she managed between sobs. "But then she suddenly developed a high fever in the night. Her heart rate... it just plummeted."

Her blue eyes were wide with fear as she continued, "Dr. Samuel Wilson called it a crisis. He wanted me to sign consent for emergency treatment, but I... I didn't dare to sign. I'm so scared for my Emma..."

Her wolf whined pitifully, curling into itself with apparent maternal distress. The sound tugged at something primal within me.
