Third Person’s POV
Digby let out a cold snort, not bothering to exin the science to the other doctor.
“Go get some Moonlight Spring water. She’s drained too much energy.”
Eva scrambled to obey, rushing out of the room in a panic.

Seeing her bedside crowded with wolves, the usually imposing Lycan looked momentarily bewildered.
She tried to speak, but her throat felt scorched and raw, leaving her with nothing but the metallic taste of blood in her mouth.
“Princess Helia is awake!” Thalia shouted, her voice thick with relief.
The tension in the room snapped. Everyone turned toward Digby and Adide with looks of profound gratitude.
Even Damian, his face usually a mask of spite, gave Digby a respectful bow.
“Thank you for stepping in. You saved our Princess’s life. I won’t forget this debt.”
Digby remained frosty.
“Don’t break out the champagne just yet. She’s not out of the woods. You’d better find the traitor who did this, and fast. Those parasites are easy to slip into someone’s food.”
The envoys traded sharp nces, their eyes eventuallynding on Sybil.
It wasmon knowledge that Sybil was the one in charge of Helia’s meals.
“What… happened?”
Helia managed to rasp out.
She tried to piece together her memories, but all she could recall was her inner wolf snapping, losing control, and lunging at people.
Eva returned with the Moonlight Spring water, and she and Thalia carefully helped Helia

drink.
Once she finished, Thalia gave her a quick rundown of the night’s events.
Helia listened, her expression surprisingly calm.
Her ice–blue eyes drifted to Sybil for a heartbeat before she gave a weak nod of thanks to Digby and Adide.
She tried to sit up, but a wave of vertigo sent her reeling.
Thalia steadied her immediately.
“Princess, you’re too weak. You need to rest.”
Adide stepped in.
“Thalia’s right. Now that you’re awake, we’ll get out of your hair.”
Helia rubbed her temples with a shaky hand.
As Adide was helping Digby toward the door, Helia called out, “Can I… can I see them? The worms?<b>” </b>
Digby didn’t even turn around. “They’re on the candle. Take it over to her.”
Wesley reached for the candle but hesitated, his voice trembling.
“They’re so small… could they jump? Could they get into me?”
Prune rolled her eyes at his cowardice.
She marched over, grabbed the candle, and held it right in front of Helia.
Helia took one look at the writhing threads and had to lean over the side of the bed to gag.
“Rx,” Digby said.
“In half an hour, those parasites will be dead.”
“Thank you,” Helia rasped again, her voice solemn.
Adide gave a polite nod and led the Northern team out of the hotel.
“WHO DID IT?”

Damian finally let his Alpha pressure explode. His eyes burned with rage as he scanned the female officials left in the room.
“Are you going to confess, or do I have to make you?”
Helia spoke up weakly.
“Damian, I’ll handle this. Sybil, Thalia, Celeste–stay. Everyone else, out.”
“Helia, this isn’t the time to y nice!” Damian roared.
“We need to find this rat now! Someone tried to murder you in the middle of a peace summit. They’re dead wolves walking!”
“I said, get out. I need to talk to them alone. Eva, show the officials to the door.”
“Fine! Have it your way,” Damian growled, swishing his cloak as he stomped out.
“But if they don’t talk to you, I have a thousand ways to make them scream!”
The room grew quiet, themplight casting a pale glow over Helia’s face. The feverish flush from the poison had vanished, leaving her ghostly white.
She leaned back against a velvet pillow Eva had tucked behind her.
Helia took a few shallow breaths, closing her eyes to steady herself, then looked directly at Sybil.
“Sybil. Why?”
Thalia and Celeste both looked

in shock.
Celeste, never one to bite her tongue, let out a low growl.
“It was really you? Princess Helia treated you like a sister, and you tried to kill her?!”
Sybil’s face was the color of ash. Her knees buckled, and she hit the floor hard.
She couldn’t hold it together any longer; tears streamed down her face as she wailed, “Princess! It’s all my fault! But I swear to the Moon Goddess, I never meant to kill you! I just wanted to make sure you were out of the way so they had to hand over Alpha Zander and pay the reparations!”
Helia looked down at her, her eyes full of crushing disappointment.

“Alpha Zander? Didn’t I tell you that targeting Zander was just a bluff for the negotiations? Our only real target is Velda!”
“No… that’s not enough!”
Sybil looked up, her tear–stained face twisting into something frantic.
“You have to take Alpha Zander! That was the mission!”
Hearing those words, Helia felt her world tilt. The realization hit her like a physical blow.
