Ivy’s Point of View
"Keep your core tight, Dominic," I instructed as I adjusted the splints along his right thigh."
It has been months since the Prince Riven and Bella left for the capital palace. I, and Dominic has been here, treating his legs.
"Your fractured leg bone has had the exact required three months to calcify flawlessly under my moon-lily injections. You have been feeling the warm energy currents in your toes for weeks, so starting today, I am finally letting you start exercising." I told him.
Dominic let out a chuckle, his hands gripping the bars we had mounted inside our private manor courtyard. With a surge of determination, he pulled himself up from his wheelchair. Because he had been feeling his legs consistently and with the vital help of his vast, roaring internal strength to flush the stagnant meridians, he made progress.

FEW DAYS LATER:
In just ten short days of grueling, focused practice, he was able to move freely without a single support bar.
"I am back, Ivy," Dominic said, pulling me against his chest as his eyes burned with a profound, grateful intensity. "I can walk by your side now, my love."
"And not a single person knows it yet," I smiled.
After months of perfecting his gait, the time for hiding in the mountains was officially over. We packed up our trunks, boarded the carriage under the tight guard of Wolf and Blade, and went back home to the Silvermoon Pack.
The moment we arrived, Luna Helena met us at the entrance, her face pale with anxiety. Without a word to the surrounding maids, Luna took Dominic and me directly into the secluded inner hall and slammed the doors, locking us securely from the inside.
"Tell me the truth, Dominic,"Luna Helena gasped, her hands shaking. "Did the treatment work? Is there any hope?"
Dominic didn’t answer with words. He offered a wide smile, stood up straight from the wheelchair, and walked around the room with a completely flawless stride.
Luna Helena froze in shock, her hand flying to her mouth as loud tears of pure joy burst from her eyes. She stumbled forward, her knees nearly buckling as she cried uncontrollably at the sight of her son’s miracle. Dominic instantly lunged forward, catching her in a fierce, tight embrace.
He hugged his mother tightly against his chest, his voice filled with emotion.
"I am completely healed, Mother," Dominic promised into her hair. "I give you my word... I will be exceptionally careful everywhere in the future, and I will never let you worry or weep for my life ever again."
"This is a true miracle from the Moon Goddess!" Luna Helena cried out, wiping her tear-stained face as she finally pulled back.
She was extremely excited, as she turned her gaze directly onto me. She grabbed my hands, squeezing them. "Thank you, Ivy. I am so incredibly grateful to you for bringing such immense healing to my son."
