She looked at William’s scarred face, then at his hands, soaked so long in medicine that their original color was hard to recognize. Her eyes burned, and before she could stop herself, she turned and walked outside
Samuel followed her out.
He stopped in front of her and instinctively reached up to wipe away the tears on her face. The moment his fingers touched her skin, he realized the gesture was far too intimate. But it was already too late.
Laila froze too, staring at him. The air between them suddenly turned awkward.
She pressed her lips together and quickly changed the subject. “I never thought Cottontail was William. I honestly thought…”
Samuel blinked, then hurried to explain. “Laila, William is Cottontails, but he’s not the only one. The eight men inside are Cottontail too.”
Laila’s eyes
widened. “What? You mean the guys in the room earlier are all part of Cottontail too?”
Samuel nodded, barely able to hide his excitement. “Yeah. Cottontail isn’t one person, and it’s not Terrence either. It’s eight people. An entire scout team…” He suddenly paused. “Hey, who’s that?”
His gaze moved past Laila’s shoulder toward the corner of the yard.
In the yard’s corner, there was a person lying facedown. Long messy hair hung over the person’s face, completely hiding it. Mud covered them from head to toe, making them look like a pile of discarded old clothes. Samuel honestly had no idea when this person had ended up there.
Laila suddenly gasped. “Oh no–Viola!” She rushed over at once. “She was sick the whole trip, and I–I actually forgot about her.”
She quickly crouched down and carefully helped Viola up from the ground.
At this point, Viola was too weak to lift a finger. Her whole body felt limp, like she had no bones left. But the moment she realized it was Laila holding her up, her dull eyes instantly widened, and she started } cursing.
“You heartless brat. I came all this way with you, and you forgot me? Once I recover, I’m going to kill you.”
She leaned weakly against Laila’s shoulder, looking like an angry wild cat that had puffed up halfway before realizing someone had stepped on its tail.
Laila apologized in a hurry. “My bad, my bad. Come inside and rest already. I was too busy getting Sara in to see William.”

“Not good.” Laila admitted while helping her inside. “But I believe Rowan can save him. Don’t think about that right now. Just lie down, get some sleep, and recover first.”
As she spoke, she turned back toward Samuel. “Could you call Lark over? We’ve got another patient here.”
Viola was settled into an empty room.
She was truly exhausted. Too exhausted to even curse properly.
Lark came to examine her injuries and prescribed medicine for her. Before the medicine even finished brewing. Viola had already fallen fast asleep.
During the whole journey, she had been forcing herself to hold on.
She was an Alpha. And yet she had almost lost to a few rogues.
Embarrassing.
Seriously embarrassing.
Once the medicine was ready, Laila brought it to the bedside and gently patted Viola’s face to wake her up.
Viola sat up, took the bowl, and gulped the medicine down in a few large swallows before immediately collapsing back into sleep.
Laila did not stop her. Viola had suffered plenty during this trip, too.
