(Ethan's POV)

Fortunately, when the burning cabinet fell, I managed to avoid it hitting my head by using the pushing force from shoving Olivia into Lucas Blackwood's arms. But my leg was trapped underneath the heavy wooden furniture.

I was drenched in cold sweat from the excruciating pain. The sweat was quickly dried by the raging fire surrounding me.

The burning sensation throughout my body was unbearable. It tested even my Alpha constitution and accelerated healing abilities.

In the firelight, I saw Lucas carrying the unconscious Olivia to safety. My wolf finally allowed me to breathe a sigh of relief, knowing my mate was protected.

Trapped in the inferno with my body already exhausted from smoke inhalation and burns, I was driven by thoughts of making amends to Olivia and her mother Evelyn. My Alpha strength, though depleted, allowed me to summon my remaining energy to free my leg from beneath the cabinet.

But I lacked the power to move the heavy furniture blocking the doorway. As breathing became increasingly difficult and my enhanced werewolf healing couldn't keep pace with the damage, my body gave out.

I collapsed to the floor. At the critical moment, Captain Jake Morrison and his Shadow Creek Emergency Response Team arrived.

They extinguished the flames with specialized equipment and rescued me. They rushed me immediately to the Silvercrest Pack Medical Den.

I awoke in the medical den with a violent start. My entire body burned with pain that even my Alpha healing couldn't immediately address.

"Olivia! Evelyn!" I exclaimed anxiously through my raw throat. I sat up in the hospital bed despite the agony.
