Third Person’s POV
Matriarch Duskgrave was furious beyond words.
At eighty years old, she had never seen such unreasonable and reckless people.
No wonder the girl fought desperately to escape–surrounded by a group of violent fools like this, who wouldn’t run?
If it were her, she would have fled long ago.
With anger and urgency, the matriarch mmed her cane against Ronan Duskcliff’s arm.
Ronan yelped in pain and instantly released his grip on Riley’s neck.
Seizing the moment, Matriarch Duskgrave pulled Riley into her arms tightly, growling, “If you don’t call the doctor soon, the patient will be beyond saving!”
Ronan’s body trembled. He shot Riley a dark re but made no further objections and stormed out to find a doctor.
Riley watched his retreating figure, only then realizing something was terribly wrong.
With all themotion in the ward, no doctor or nurse hade to check on the situation.
It was impossible.
Unless the medical staff had been sent away beforehand.
Her eyes darted to Scarlett, who just happened to sh a victorious gleam.
A chill ran down Riley’s spine.
If this was Scarlett’s setup, then Ronan wouldn’t find a doctor anytime soon.
No, she couldn’t just wait to be helpless.
Tessa’s life depended on it.
Five years ago, she had already been framed once.
This time, she couldn’t let history repeat itself–Tessa had to be saved immediately.
“Madam, please let me go. I have to save Tessa,”
Matriarch Duskgrave hesitated, worry etched across her face, but finally loosened her grip.
Riley took a step forward toward Tessa.

Suddenly, Kael Vale blocked her path with a sharp step, Maddox appeared from the other side to intercept.
Kael’s gaze was icy as he scolded, “Riley, how much longer will you keep this up? You tried to kill Tessa just now. Now, in front of all of us, you want to finish her off? How did you be so cruel–a venomous woman full of malice.”
Maddox wore a deeply disappointed expression as he added, “Riley, I advise you to stop immediately. If you persist, what awaits you won’t just be a few years in prison. With the ckmaw Pack’s power, you’ll rot in jail forever. Even though we used to be mate, I won’t show you any mercy.”
“Step aside! If you don’t save her now, it’ll be toote. Do you really want to watch her die?” Riley shouted, panic and fury burning in her voice.
Kael and Maddox remained unmoved.
Scarlett feigned innocence beside them, “Riley, even if you dislike Tessa, you can’t take her life. Even if she wakes and exposes your past crimes, you served five years in prison. Thew won’t pursue you anymore. There’s no need to eliminate her.”
Kael clenched his fists and sneered, “Look at you, Riley. You’re acting like a madwoman. You deserve to be locked up for life.”
Maddox furrowed his brow. “How long will you persist in this madness? Do you want to send yourself straight to jail?”
Their relentless stance ignited a roaring fire of anger within Riley.
She knew reasoning was useless.
No more words.
Her form twisted and morphed.
In a sh, Riley shifted into her wolf form.
Blood–red eyes zing, fangs bared, ws shing through the air.
She was no longer the frightened girl.
She was Nyra–the white wolf.
The ward filled with the scent of wild fury.
Kael and Maddox staggered back, startled and cautious.
But Riley’s strength was still weak–her transformation recent and iplete.
Maddox shouted, “Riley! The Wolf Code forbids showing your ws to pack members! If you don’t calm down, you’ll be sent to the Wolf Prison again!”
Riley’s fierce growl filled the room as thick,manding pheromones radiated from her, forcing everyone to instinctively take a step back, giving her the space she needed.

“This ends now,” she whispered, eyes still burning with fierce determination.
