Chapter 405

(Third Person's POV)

Dr. Marcus Fletcher's face was grim as he delivered the devastating news to Maxwell Chen. The pack healer's usually steady hands trembled slightly as he held Ethan's medical charts.

"Alpha Stone's left lower limb has severe thigh muscle damage from the silver contamination," Dr. Fletcher said quietly. "This leg may not be salvageable and may require amputation."

Maxwell's Beta wolf bristled with protective fury. His expression changed instantly, amber eyes flashing with disbelief.

"Do you know what you're saying?" Maxwell retorted, his voice sharp with denial. "I don't care what methods you use, you must save the Alpha King's leg."

Dr. Fletcher was astonished that Ethan could even get out of bed in his condition. The severity of his thigh injury from the silver-tainted debris made saving the leg nearly impossible.

"We will do everything we can to save Alpha Stone's leg," Dr. Fletcher replied. But the words lacked conviction.
