    I could hear Luna M’s screams from where I was standing. They were muffled behind the walls, but they cut through me anyway.


    Yesterday, I had caught the tremble in her figure and the faint discoloration of her skin. I had brushed it off, thinking it was mere exhaustion. However, guessing from her screams, it was much more than that.


    Rowan’s hand slipped into mine. His grip was steady, though his face was carved in stone. He didn’t say a word, but I could see the storm he was holding back in his eyes.


    Karl stood a few feet away, rigid as a statue. He hadn’t allowed us in. His decision was final, leaving no room for argument. Instead, he’d shoved his trust into their oldest doctor and into Cameron–my cousin, who had only just begun studying to be a pack doctor.


    I wanted to tell Karl that I could truly help; however, it seemed he didn’t want to listen.


    The scent hit me next. It was unmistakably poison. I knew it too well. Kyle must have gotten to her as a way to taunt the South even more.


    Suddenly, the door creaked open. The doctor emerged, pale and sweating, his hands stained with the effort of healing gone wrong. His voice cracked when he spoke. “I don’t know if I can do anything, Alpha,” he said, shaking his head. “Luna M might… she might go like this.”


    The world froze.


    For a second, I couldn’t breathe. Neither could Rowan. I felt his grip on my hand tighten. Karl moved like thunder. One second, he was still; the next, he had the doctor pinned by the cor, teeth bared, his voice a growl that made the walls tremble,


    “What do you mean you can’t? She’s my wife!” His rage was wild, dripping with a kind of fear only a mate could know.


    Cameron stepped forward, his voice heavy with defeat. “It’s true, Alpha. It’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. We’ve tried… and failed. We can’t possibly do anything more.”


    “No,” I whispered, before I realized I’d spoken.


    Rowan’s eyes flicked to mine.


    I rose to my feet, pulling my hand from his, every nerve in my body fueled with

    determination. My heart hammered, but my voice carried loud, cutting through the chaos.


    “Bring her here, Alpha.”


    All heads turned to me.


    Karl’s eyes narrowed, but I didn’t falter. I stepped forward, my chest lifted. “If you want your wife alive,” I said, each word ringing with conviction, “bring her here. To me.”


    Karl’s eyes bored into mine, but underneath the hardness was something else–desperation. His jaw was clenched, his hands fisted at his sides.


    “Can you heal her?” he asked. “Are you that confident?”


    Before I could answer, Cameron scoffed from behind him. His tone dripped with disdain, and I didn’t even need to look to know he was sneering.


    “It’s impossible,” Cameron said tly. “You’re not a magician. You’re not anyone. Stop pretending you can fix what you don’t understand.”


    I didn’t even look at him. I just repeated, steady and firm, “Bring her here.”


    For a moment, silence stretched. Karl’s nostrils red, his breathing sharp. I could see him weighing his options, pride against fear, but in the end, fear won. He gestured sharply to Francis.


    “Get M.”


    The moment they carried her out to the living room, I felt the air leave my lungs. My chest ached as I took in her state. She was pale, her lips cracked and faintly blue, her body trembling against the sheets on which theyy her. Her breaths were shallow, her throat rasping with each exhale.


    And instantly, I knew.


    This was what Ronnie had gone through.


    Back then, I hadn’t had any answers. I’d been powerless, left only to pray while Dr. Ingrid took over. Now, staring down at Luna M, I finally recognized it. Deep poison. And yet… this wasn’t beyond saving.


    I ced a hand gently over her heart. Her body was cold to the touch, but the moment my palm rested against her chest, I felt the darkness. It thrummed beneath her skin, slithering like smoke, heavy but not consuming.

    It was there, but it still hadn’t won.


    This was solvable.

    I exhaled slowly, then reached for my bag. My fingers moved with no hesitation.


    “She needs herbs,” I said. “It’ll ease the passage. It’ll let her body push it out.”

    Karl moved forward quickly, his hand catching my wrist. “What are you doing?” he demanded.


    I pulled free without looking at him. “Saving her.”


    From the corner of my eye, I saw Cameron stiffen. “This is madness. You’re going to kill her!”


    But I didn’t give him the satisfaction of acknowledgment. Instead, I ground the herbs quickly, mixing them with water. Without hesitation, I pressed it past M’s lips, forcing her to swallow.


    Karl’s voice broke with panic. “Stop–what are you putting in her mouth?”


    “She needs this!” I snapped.


    Rowan’s hand was suddenly at my back. “Let her work,” he told his father, his tone firm. “She knows what she’s doing.”


    I didn’t let myself falter. My palms pressed to M’s chest again, my focus sharp as a de. I concentrated, channeling everything I knew about toxins and bnce.


    Suddenly, her throat convulsed, and I tilted her upright, keeping the basin close.


    “Come on, Luna M,” I whispered.


    Another cough escaped her, stronger this time. Just then, the herbs forced their way back up, carried by a torrent of ck liquid that sttered into the basin. The smell was vile, sharp, and


    rotten.


    M gagged, her body shaking violently as the poison purged from her. I held her steady, rubbing her back. Finally, thest of it spilled out, thick and tar–like, and then her body slumped against me.


    The pallor receded, her cheeks tinged with warmth and lips softening back toward pink. Her breathing steadied, still weak but no longer ragged.


    Slowly, her eyelids fluttered open. Her gaze found Rowan first, and even in her exhaustion, a small, weary smile touched her lips.

    “Son,” she whispered.

    And then, as if it had cost her everything, she closed her eyes again and slipped into sleep. But this time, her chest rose and fell evenly.


    “She’s going to be okay,” I said, though my hands were still trembling.


    I stood slowly, backing away, suddenly feeling the weight of every gaze in the room crashing onto me, appearing in disbelief at what had just happened.


    “How… did you do that?” Cameron stammered.
