Chapter 35 Tipping the Scales

Mateo’s POV

The moment the needle pierced my skin, my pupils shrank.

Something about the Omega changed. The bathrobe hung loosely around her, but suddenly it gave off the air of a sacred healer’s robe. Her blue eyes–usually soft–were glowing with an intense, unwavering light. Right now, her entire world seemed to focus on that one needle.

And the moment it went in, I felt it.

A burst of heat surged through my abdomen. The ugly bruising began to dissolve before my eyes–literally disappearing, like ink diluted in water.

It was as if the needle had sparked something in my body–a jolt of pure vitality, jumpstarting a deep, instinctual healing process. It wasn’t just healing. I was regenerating. From the inside out.

Even my wolf, Odera, growled low in my consciousness, shocked. “Impossible. She’s channeling lunar energy through the needle!”

If Odera said that, then it had to be real. This wasn’t some common street medic.

I’d met dry needling practitioners before–hell, even my mother’s migraines could only be relieved by monthly sessions from one of the top–tier needle healers. But none of them, none, could do what this Omega just did heal internal trauma with a single strike.

Her needle didn’t just redirect energy. It restored life.

I suddenly thought… if I could get her to treat Simon….

I didn’t act right away. I waited until she had finished realigning my dislocated ankle–then, quick as a whip, I grabbed her wrist.

“Die… or come with me. Choose.”
