    "Stand down! This is a personal matter between Ms. Carson and me! She''s already shown mercy. Otherwise, I''d be dead!"


    He coughed twice, spitting out blood. Despite this, he still faced me with respect


    and gratitude. "Thank you, Ms. Carson, for sparing my life."


    "You truly are smart." I didn''t even lift my eyelids. "Xavier showed wisdom entrusting the ck market to you."


    "Ms. Carson, you tter me." He lowered his head weakly, not daring to utter a harsh word.


    With a slight nod, I turned and walked towards the stands, helping Benjamin to his feet, "How are you feeling?"


    "It''s nothing serious, just a bit weak," Benjamin said.


    "Don''t worry, Ms. Carson. This substance only causes momentary weakness withoutsting harm. Your fiancé, being a high-ranking werewolf, will recover quickly," Ss exined.


    "Minimal harm is still uneptable! He''s the most important person to me!" I snapped coldly.


    Ss was taken aback but quickly responded with deference, "You''re right. I''ll hurry the antidote over immediately!"


    As he finished speaking, someone brought the antidote.


    Ss handed it over with both hands.


    I took the antidote, opened it, and handed it to Benjamin. "Take it. With me here, they wouldn''t dare use something fake."


    Benjamin smiled wryly, saying nothing, and drank the antidote.


    I watched him intently, anxiety visible in my eyes. Benjamin teased, "I didn''t see you this nervous up on stage."


    "They aren''t as important as you," I blurted out. Realizing what I had said, I bit my lip, quickly changing the topic, "Feeling better?"


    Benjamin chuckled softly and replied, "Medicine doesn''t work instantly. Give it a few minutes."


    "Yeah." I nodded.


    For some reason, even though Benjamin was only slightly poisoned, I couldn''t shake my fear and worry.


    Although I now knew that the man wouldn''t kill Benjamin, thinking back to the scene still made my heart

    If something happened to Benjamin, I''d lose my fighting spirit immediately.


    I wished I could guard Benjamin myself at all times.


    But as Alpha of the Midnight Pack, his pride wouldn''t allow him to be under my protection.


    With this in mind, I began contemting a solution that wouldn''t hurt Benjamin''s pride yet would ensure his safety.


    Consumed by these thoughts, I pondered all the way home.


    In the carriage, Benjamin rested quietly after taking the medicine.


    Henry, sitting next to him, had fallen asleep from exhaustion.


    As I continued thinking, the sudden ring of my phone broke my focus.


    Distractedly, I answered, "Who is this?"


    "Michelle! Michelle, you finally answered!"


    "Hurry! Get to the hospital! The doctor says it''s critical. Come see your brother onest time; he wants to see you!"


    Virginia''s voice, heavy with panic and tears, quivered through the phone, clearly distressed.


    Her words struck me with rm.


    My brow furrowed, and I gripped the phone tighter, urgently asking, "Which hospital? Tell me!"


    "Central Hospital! Central Hospital!" Virginia shouted.


    Her voice echoed through the phone and filled the carriage.


    Beside me, Benjamin opened his eyes, sitting up straight with a concerned look.


    "I''ll be there soon. Don''t be afraid; he''ll be fine." I forced myself to stay calm, speaking steadily before hanging up.


    Inside, however, panic and urgency swelled.


    Benjamin took my phone, drew me into his arms with one hand, and ced his other hand on mine, trying tofort me.


    "Tyrone, drive faster," he ordered his Beta seriously.


    I leaned against Benjamin, my heart still in turmoil, Hera restless inside me.


    Since bing Alpha of the Shadow Pack as a teenager, I had fought many battles, thinking I was used to life and death, viewing family ties as distant.


    But now, all I could think about was Peter''s kindness.

    I remembered the lively dinners, his affectionate use of "sister," and our


    discussions...


    I shook my head, trying to banish these thoughts.


    If I could just be indifferent, I wouldn''t feel this pain.

    I kept trying to convince myself, but upon reaching the hospital and seeing Peter


    lying bloodied on the bed, panic overtook me.


    Hera couldn''t sense his wolf anymore!


    "udio! Where is udio?" I turned, searching for him but realized he hadn''te back with us...
