**Chapter 116**

As the days passed, I found myself grappling with a troubling realization: Amelia hadn’t merely walked away from our pack; she had been driven out, forced to flee. This unsettling suspicion loomed larger in my mind, casting shadows over everything I thought I knew about her departure.

I could muster a degree of sympathy for Dr. Oliver’s perspective. From the vantage point of an outsider, someone who was blissfully unaware of the intricate web of truths and lies surrounding us, I could understand how one might jump to the conclusion that Amelia was simply a harbinger of chaos, intent on wreaking havoc within a pack she had come to despise.

But I knew better. I knew Amelia. I had witnessed her strength, her loyalty, and the kindness that flowed through her veins. The thought that she could ever betray us was unfathomable.

“This could very well be a covert attack orchestrated by Alpha Jake’s pack,” Dr. Oliver asserted, his voice laced with suspicion. “She might be plotting to eliminate our Beta, Ethan.”

Now that was a leap too far, a wild accusation that struck a nerve deep within me.

“That’s utterly impossible, Doctor,” I retorted, my tone firm. “Healer Eve is a respected physician, and I would trust Amelia with my very life. Both of them have taken sacred oaths to uphold their duties. There’s no conceivable way they would come here with the intent to poison Ethan.”

“You place an extraordinary amount of trust in her,” Dr. Oliver replied, his skepticism palpable. “You might be the sole beacon of faith in her within our pack. I assure you, I’m not the only one harboring doubts, Alpha, and that’s a reality you should take into account.”

“What do you imply?” I shot back, my voice sharp. His words hung in the air like a veiled threat, and I felt my defenses rise.

“A significant number of protestors have gathered outside the hospital,” Dr. Oliver explained, his demeanor serious. “They appear peaceful for now, but I’ve overheard murmurs suggesting they have their sights set on disrupting Ethan’s treatment. They might even resort to breaking into the emergency room if necessary.”

“My people would never stoop to such crudeness,” I insisted, my voice steady, though doubt flickered in the back of my mind.

“I wouldn’t fabricate something that jeopardizes my livelihood,” Dr. Oliver countered, his frustration evident. “Any disruption in hospital protocol threatens everything I’ve worked for.” He paused, taking a deep breath before continuing. “If you remain unconvinced, perhaps it would be prudent for you to witness it firsthand.” He added, “Respectfully.”

**Amelia’s POV**

Today, the atmosphere in the hospital felt charged, almost electric, as if a storm was brewing just beneath the surface. Everyone seemed to be on high alert, their nerves frayed. I had caught wind of the protest outside, but I hadn’t given it much thought. My focus remained steadfastly on Ethan; my duty was to him, and the turmoil beyond these walls was not my concern.

After collecting several vials of blood and a few new reports, Eve and I made our way to the lab, our footsteps echoing in the sterile hallway.

Upon entering, we found Damien pacing anxiously, his brow furrowed in deep concern. The moment his gaze landed on me, a wave of relief washed over his features.
