Chapter 11

Kira’s Perspective

Lucas’s voice was calm yet precise as he spoke, “I’ve arranged your first moonlight herb treatment for two days from now. It’s crucial that you settle all your affairs before then because once we begin, you’ll go through intense bouts of weakness.”

I gave a small nod, forcing myself to look braver than I felt inside. “Will it be painful?” I asked, my voice trembling just a bit.

He didn’t sugarcoat it. “I won’t lie to you, Kira. Yes, it will hurt.” Lucas leaned forward, folding his hands together thoughtfully. “The herbs work by essentially poisoning your wolf’s system to slow the syndrome’s progression. The side effects are similar to what humans experience during chemotherapy — fatigue, nausea, and possibly hair loss.”

My fingers instinctively reached up to touch my long hair, which had always been my pride — thick, wavy strands that Rocco used to gently run his fingers through. The bittersweet memory tightened my chest painfully.

“How much time will this treatment buy me?” I whispered, barely able to voice the question.

Lucas sighed deeply. “It’s difficult to predict. The syndrome affects everyone differently. It could be months, but if we’re fortunate, it might stretch to two years.”

Two years. That might just be enough time to uncover the truth about Lyra and my father.

“I’ll be ready,” I said firmly, pushing myself to stand.

After finalizing the schedule for my treatment, I made my way to my father’s room. Seeing him lying there motionless, so fragile, pierced my heart anew. His once commanding presence was now reduced to a fragile shell.

The nurse, reviewing his chart, said kindly, “Your father’s care plan is set for the next six months. And don’t worry about the medical bills anymore.”

At least Rocco’s money was good for something. I gently squeezed my father’s hand before quietly whispering, “I’ll find out what happened, Dad. I promise.”
