Chapter 110 Something Extraordinary
AMY
I barely slept at night because the scratch on my check burned like it had a pulse of its own. It wasn’t deep. but something about it felt wrong. My skin felt warm, and there was a faint ache beneath it. It was not pain exactly, just discomfort that wouldn’t stop.
By morning, it looked worse. The skin around it had turned faintly red, almost irritated, and when I touched it, a sharp sting ran through my jaw. I stared at the mirror for a while, hoping it was just stress.
Werewolf healing didn’t fail. Minor wounds usually vanished overnight, yet here I was, still injured most likely falling sick from it.
I wrapped a light scarf around my neck before heading downstairs for breakfast. Daniel were in the living room. From the look on their faces, they’d been talking about som
Daniel noticed me first. “You didn’t rest,” he said, his voice softer than usual.
“I tried,” I said, taking a seat. “It’s just a bit sore.”
He frowned. “Let me see it.”
“It’s fine-”
Garter
“Amy,” he urged. I sighed and pulled the scarf away. The scratch wasn’t just red now, it had darkened overnight and turned faintly purple at the edges.
Mrs. Carter leaned forward immediately. “That doesn’t look like a normal wound.”
I forced a small smile. “It’ll heal. Maybe I’m just slow this time.”
Daniel didn’t look convinced. “You’re not slow,” he said. “Something’s off.” He turned away and grabbed his phone. “I’m calling Dr. Lane.”
The pack medic arrived not long after. He examined the wound closely, occasionally murmuring under his breath as he applied a cooling salve. When he was done, he looked confused.
“I’ve never seen anything like this,” he said finally. “It’s not infected, but it’s… resisting.”
“Resisting what?” Daniel asked.
“Your natural healing,” Dr. Lane explained. “It’s as if something’s interfering with your wolf’s regeneration. I’ll need to run a few tests.”
He packed his things and left. Daniel stood by the window, arms crossed, trying to stay calm. Mrs. Carter’s expression had shifted from excessive worry to suspicion.
“Clara,” she said under her breath.
I looked at her. “You think she did something?”
“She disappeared for months,” Mrs. Carter said quietly. “No one knows where she went or who she was with

and all we heard was that she was at a mental institute. The kind of anger she had when she attacked you that wasn’t normal. It looked almost ritualistic.”
“Ritualistic?” I repeated.
Daniel turned to her. “You think she used dark magic?”
Mrs. Carter didn’t answer right away. “Not exactly magic,” she said. “But something close. There are old rogue practices -curses meant to weaken wolves. I’ve seen it before, years ago.”
The word curse made me uneasy. “That sounds like superstition.”
“I wish it was,” she said. “Some rogues use toxins tied to ritual blood. They don’t kill immediately. they corrupt the healing process. If she was around those kinds of people…”
Daniel’s tone hardened. “Then she brought their poison into this pack.”
He looked at me, and I could see the anger he was holding back. “You shouldn’t have been the with her. I should’ve handled it.”
“She attacked me in public. You can’t protect me from everything.”
Still. I should’ve been there.”
to deal
Mrs. Carter folded her arms. “Let’s not dwell on what’s done. The question now is. how do we fix this before it spreads?”
“Spreads?” I echoed.
Daniel looked uneasy. “Mum’s right. If this thing is from a rogue toxin, we don’t know how it behaves. Dr. Lane will need samples.”
I tried to stay calm, but the idea of something inside me resisting healing was unsettling. “So what happens now?”
“You rest,” Mrs. Carter said firmly. “No office for the day. Let the medic finish his tests.”
I started to protest, but Daniel cut in. “She’s right.”
That tone of his made it hard to argue. So I just nodded.
By evening, the salve Dr. Lane had applied stopped cooling, and the mark started itching again. I was sitting by the window in my room when Daniel walked in. He didn’t knock this time.
“Does it still hurt?” he asked, walking straight to me.
“A little,” I said. “I’ve had worse.”
“That’s not what I asked.”
“It burns sometimes. Like it’s… alive.”
He frowned and crouched in front of me, inspecting the mark closely. “It’s faintly darker again.”
