Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 544 Having to Hunt

Upon arriving in Quinston, Violeta's first stop was the Whites, where she enjoyed a meal with her parents.

Since joining the cast, she hadn't been to Liberty Grove for a month or two.

Hayden had been transferred to the Ministry of Public Security and had been busy with staff training, only making brief visits to Liberty Grove.

Violeta arranged for the housekeeper, Gabriela, to bring Tuna and Hera back to the Whites, where they would be cared for by a specialized pet trainer.

In the wild, wolves typically live around sixteen to seventeen years, but those in captivity can reach up to twenty years.

Since Violeta's rebirth, Tuna had already lived half of its natural wolf lifespan.

At the Whites, Violeta tenderly groomed Tuna, running her fingers through its fur and gently stroking its ears. With a warm smile, she said, "You're such a magnificent wolf, Tuna! You're truly the most beautiful wolf." Had Tuna not followed Violeta back then, its chances of survival in the mountains would have been slim.

It was all a matter of destiny.

"Let's go. I'll take you to see your pups one last time. You won't get to see them again soon," Violeta said, leading Tuna away from the house.

Their driver took them to the pet hospital, where Zoren was waiting outside.

As soon as he spotted Violeta, he rushed over.

"You've arrived! Let's go; I just checked on them, and they're all getting quite plump."
