Chapter 407

(Olivia's POV)

"Alpha Blackwood, don't worry me - are those burns serious?" my mother asked, her maternal instincts extending to the Alpha who had risked everything for her daughter.

"Please don't worry, Mrs. Winters. They're just minor burns, nothing that won't heal with proper werewolf recovery time," Lucas replied respectfully, his gray eyes soft with concern. "Are you feeling any pain or discomfort?"

"I'm fine," Evelyn assured him, relief evident in her voice. Her wolf had settled knowing we were all safe.

All three of us had survived the arson attack unharmed. Lucas instructed Thomas Griffin to handle the discharge procedures while Northern Territory Enforcers came to take our statements.

Officer Daniel Brooks entered the room with a grim expression. "The fire was extinguished last night thanks to Captain Jake Morrison's emergency response team. It didn't spread to neighboring residences in Maple Grove."

"Officer, has she been apprehended?" I asked, my emerald eyes flashing with fury. I had detected the scent of gasoline the night before and knew it was arson.
