The moment I realized Calista’s eyes were open, my body froze. My wolf, initially a snarling ball of grief, stilled, stunned.

Then, I looked up. Calista’s eyes, filled with a tender concern, met mine. She was awake.

My brain blanked. Tears still clinging to my cheeks, I stared at her, speechless.

Then her pained voice reached me.”Seren… don’t cry…”

She slowly raised her hand, gently wiping away my tears.

Reality crashed back. Calista was truly awake. My wolf whined, a soft relief that quickly turned to frantic worry. I’d forgotten my own distress, forgotten even to ring for the healer.

“Calista’s awake! Call the Pack doctor!” I yelled, tears streaming down my face, startling the bodyguard. My wolf throbbed, a mixture of joy and

terror.

The Pack doctor arrived quickly. Calista underwent a full examination.

She was awake, her vitals normal.

“Remember, no emotional excitement,” the Pack doctor cautioned, referring to Calista’s age.

I nodded, numb with relief and terror. Maggie escorted the Pack doctor out.

Calista’s grip on my hand never loosened. Even during the exam, her gaze remained fixed on me, brimming with a pain that mirrored my own.

“Don’t tell anyone,” she instructed Maggie, who immediately pocketed her phone, her intent to call Lucian and the rest of the Silvermane family thwarted.

My wolf felt a surge of fear; Calista couldn’t know.

“Calista…” I stood by the bed, eyes red, watching her, a knot of unease twisting in my gut.

The initial joy of her awakening was swiftly replaced by fear. I had revealed too much at her bedside about Aurora’s death.

the Pack doctor reiterated his warning about Calista’s health.

I was terrified; I didn’t know when she’d woken up, whether she’d heard my confession about Aurora and Ayla’s crime.

I desperately wanted Calista’s guidance, but the thought of upsetting her, causing her any distress, blocked my emotions. My wolf snarled, urging me to speak, to act.

Calista sensed my turmoil.

“That silly girl,” she thought, “Even in her devastation, she prioritizes my wellbeing. Such a good girl… how could Lucian be so cruel?”

“Grandma already knew… Aurora, she…” The words caught in my throat.

My wolf whimpered, sensing the unbearable weight of the truth. Despite seeing her tombstone and my confession, the reality hadn’t sunk in.

The moment I mentioned Aurora’s name, fresh tears welled. It felt unbearable, the loss of the vivacious child, a death so cruel and unjust

“Seren, you and Aurora have suffered so much,” Calista’s voice was choked with emotion. Her wolf howled in silent grief and outrage at the injustice of it all.

How could she not be heartbroken? Her sweet, well-behaved Aurora…

She could no longer hear her soft, tender voice, calling her “Grandma.”

She missed her sweet coquettishness; the sound of her complaints about her medicine.

She could almost hear her telling me, in her small voice, “Great-grandma, you must listen to the Pack doctor’s advice, take your medicine and get injections so you can get better, and spend every day with me.”
