Chapter 223 Elder Council Meeting

AMY

I was reviewing the last set of files when Brian’s name flashed on my screen. I answered immediately, already bracing myself. He didn’t waste time.

“The forged accusations against Daniel are already spreading,” he said. “Elders on the private council are demanding a hearing. They want it soon.”

My stomach tightened n frustration. I knew Elias would make a move, but I didn’t expect it to spread this fast.

“Who leaked it?” I asked.

“We’re tracking the route, but whoever sent it used layered rerouting points. Could be Elias. Could be someone inside the Southern Alpha’s circle.”

I pressed my fingers to my forehead. “Keep digging. Do not let this become public.”

“We’re on it,” he said. “But, Amy… prepare Daniel. The elders are already discussing a temporary suspension if he can’t disprove it immediately.”

I ended the call and took a deep breath. Daniel didn’t need more pressure, not after everything that happened today. I stood from the bed slowly, trying to push down the dizziness that had been chasing me for hours. I’d been feeling off since the early morning, but I ignored it. There was too much going on.

Daniel walked in before I could take another step. His eyes locked on my face, his expression tightening.

“You look pale. Sit down,” he said.

“I’m fine,” I lied. “Brian just called. The accusations are spreading. The elders want a hearing.”

His jaw tightened, but he didn’t panic. He’d been preparing for it mentally since Selene handed him that file. “Let them call whatever hearing they want. Elias is sloppy. We’ll expose him.”

“I know,” I said, though my legs felt unsteady. “But you need to be ready. They’re not asking, they’re demanding.”

Daniel stepped closer, observing me. “You’re shaking.”

“I’m just tired. It’s been a long day.”

Before he could argue, the room tilted slightly and I grabbed the edge of the table for support. The dizziness worsened so fast I didn’t even have time to warn him. The world dimmed at the edges, then everything collapsed inward.

My last moment of consciousness was Daniel shouting my name.

I woke up in the medical wing, staring at a white ceiling I didn’t recognize. A monitor beeped softly beside me. My throat felt dry. My body felt heavy.

Daniel was sitting next to the bed, elbows on his knees, head bowed. When he noticed I was awake, he sat up

straight.

“Amy.”

His voice was calm, but his eyes were filled with worry.

“What happened?” I asked.

“You passed out. You were out for almost fifteen minutes. The doctors ran every basic test, but nothing explains it.” He paused. “They’re calling the specialist now.”

I tried to sit up. He helped me slowly, watching every movement.

“Did they check the pregnancy?” I asked.

“They said the baby is fine,” he said. “Heartbeat strong.”

Relief washed through me, but before I could speak again, a sharp pain pushed behind my eyes. My vision blurred, then the room vanished altogether.

I wasn’t asleep. I wasn’t awake either. I was somewhere in between. A place that felt still and quiet.

Then the light shifted into something soft and pale.

The Moon Goddess appeared before me and I was so terrified as to why she showed herself to me.

Her presence didn’t overwhelm me. It didn’t shine or glow. It simply was. Clear. Direct. Unavoidable.

“Amy,” she said. “Your path is shifting faster than you expected.”

I tried to speak, but my voice didn’t come out. She continued anyway.

“Your life will become complicated in ways you do not see yet. Every decision you make from this moment must be cautious. You cannot let emotion lead you.”

Her eyes rested on mine, “Clara’s hatred for you is deeper than you understand. If you do not act with caution, her actions may lead to the fall of the werewolves.”

My chest tightened. I wanted to ask how, why, when–but nothing came out.

“You have to be smart,” she said. “Not just strong. Your strength alone will not be enough.”

The space around us dimmed. I felt myself slipping backward.

“Prepare yourself,” she said as her voice faded. “Everything is accelerating.”

Then the world snapped back.

I gasped and sat upright. Daniel caught me immediately.

“Easy. Easy, Amy. What happened?”

I looked around. The monitors were still beeping. The room smelled like antiseptic. But the air felt different, heavier, like the message was still hanging there.

“I saw her.” I said quietly.

Daniel’s brows drew together. “Who?”

“The Moon Goddess.”

He froze not because he doubted me, but because he understood what that meant.

He pulled the chair closer and sat beside me. “Tell me what you saw,”

I told him everything. The warning, the danger. Clara’s hatred. The hint that this wasn’t just about family rivalry or corporate sabotage. Something bigger was coming, something that could affect every werewolf.

Daniel didn’t interrupt. He didn’t question it. When I finished, he exhaled slowly.

“That means we don’t have time to make mistakes.”

“I know.”

“We can’t afford to react emotionally,” he said.

“She said the same.”

He nodded, absorbing it all. The tension in his shoulders shifted from fear into focus.

“We’re handling Elias. We’re handling Clara. We’ll handle whatever else is coming. But we do it step by step, and you don’t get to collapse from exhaustion again.”

His tone was firm, almost annoyed, but I knew it came from worry.

“I didn’t collapse on purpose,” I muttered.

“You didn’t rest on purpose,” he countered.

I couldn’t argue with that.

He reached out and placed his hand on mine. “We’ll figure this out. But right now, you need to stabilize. The elders‘ hearing won’t matter if you’re back in this bed tomorrow.”

I nodded, but inside, my thoughts were moving fast. The Moon Goddess didn’t give warnings unless something dangerous was close. Clara wasn’t just jealous or ambitious. She was capable of something worse.

And if I didn’t make the right choices from now on, the consequences wouldn’t hit only us, they’d hit

everyone.
