These past few days, danger and uncertainty had clung to me like a shadow. Even as an Alpha werewolf, I feltpletely exhausted.
But now, I was safe–and with my brothers, Carl and Victor, by my side, I felt grounded again. I wasn’t alone.
We didn’t waste a single moment.
A private jet was already waiting to fly us back to West City.
I knew my father, Lars, must have been worried sick.
He’d been calling nonstop these past few days. I could hear the anxiety in his voice, no matter how hard he tried to hide it. It made my chest ache.
He needed to see me with his own eyes to finally let go of the fear.
As an Alpha, my body was healing quickly now that the wolfsbane was out of my system–but even with enhanced regeneration, this ordeal had taken a serious toll.
Still, I had to stay strong. I couldn’t let him down.
The flight passed like a blur.
I was physically and mentally drained, but I could feel my body slowly knitting itself back together.
The wounds were healing fast–that was the Alpha trait.
When the nended on the rooftop helipad of the hospital, a team of top doctors was already waiting.
They surrounded me with respectful concern, checking every injury with thorough care.
I knew they were aware of who I was–an Alpha werewolf with extraordinary regenerative ability–but they still took their jobs seriously.
I didn’t push them away. I knew this would help ease my father’s mind.

Only a few people knew I was back: my family, the medical team, and a few trusted members of the Rogue Pack.
My father had arranged it all so I could rest,pletely undisturbed.
I appreciated that peace. It let me focus on recovery without feeling the weight of the pack’s expectations.
Every day, the psychologist woulde in to observe me.
She praised my mental resilience, said my psychological defenses were unshakable.
Maybe being an Alpha did give me an edge in that department. But I knew the truth–just because my body healed fast didn’t mean the trauma inside disappeared with it.
I kept the fear buried deep, only showing her the strength she wanted to see.
Victor soon returned to his researchb, burying himself in his arcane work.
His focus made me a little envious.
Meanwhile, Thorbane was a whirlwind, bouncing between the hospital and the West Territory headquarters, always busy, always smiling.
His cheer seemed <i>to </i>grow by the day, like my return had lifted the cloud that had been hanging over the pack.
I could feel it too–that suffocating grief that had nketed the headquarters was fading, reced by hope and energy.
Carl and my father became my closestpany.
Carl, the once fearsome Wandering de, was surprisingly content ying caregiver. He’d bring tea, fetch snacks, and make meals for me and Dad without a singleint.
We watched dramas together. Carl would narrate behind–the–scenes gossip about the actors with such ir that it had both me and Dadughing till we couldn’t breathe.
Dad didn’t speak much, but just having him there felt like resting against a solid mountain.
The three of us crammed together on the couch, watching TV andughing at Carl’s sharpmentary–those simple moments were exactly what I needed to feel whole again.
But just a few dayster, that peace was shattered.
