Rise of the Banished She-Wolf (Evelyn) novel Chapter 174

ས 180

Mrs. Stone’s wooden cane still vibrated from the impact against Adalyn’s forehead. Blood trickled down Adalyn’s shocked face as an eerie silence filled the

room. I felt a surge of satisfaction seeing the woman who had tormented Kate’s babies finally facing consequences, even if from her own mother–in–law.

“My conditions,” I began, my voice cutting through the tension like a knife. “Once I’ve treated Mrs. Stone, Kate and Sebastian will divorce. Kate will have full

custody of the children, but your family will cover all child support expenses.”

My eyes never left Mrs. Stone’s face as I spoke. The elderly woman’s gaze remained fierce despite her physical weakness. She nodded firmly, approving my

terms.

Adalyn pressed a handkerchief to her bleeding forehead, her face contorting with rage. “You’re extorting us! Taking advantage of a sick woman!”

“Watch your mouth!” Kyle snapped, grabbing his wife’s arm with enough force to make her wince. He turned to me, desperation evident in his eyes. “We’ll do

whatever you ask. Just… please help my mother.”

Eric stood beside me, arms crossed, a cold smile playing on his lips. “How touching, Kyle. Such filial devotion.” He tilted his head slightly. “I was going to cover all medical expenses as a family courtesy, but since you’re so eager to demonstrate your love for your mother, I’ll gladly let you handle it instead. What a perfect opportunity to show your devotion!”

Kyle’s face turned an alarming shade of purple. I caught the flash of gold in his eyes – his wolf straining against his control. Mrs. Stone reached out and gripped his wrist with surprising strength, her eyes commanding him to maintain composure.

I have a specialized treatment protocol,‘ I explained, adopting a clinical tone. “It requires extraction of extremely rare moonlight herbs, combined with specially processed silver microparticles. Each dose costs one hundred thousand dollars.”

“One hundred thousand dollars?” Adalyn’s shriek echoed through the room. “Per dose? This is robbery!”

Kyle looked like he might faint. “How many doses?”

“Monthly injections, I replied calmly. “The treatment suppresses silver toxicity and maintains full shifting capabilities for at least ten years, as long as the

regimen isn’t interrupted,

Kyle’s jaw clenched so tight I could hear his teeth grinding. “Fine. We’ll pay. My mother’s life is worth more than money.”

Adalyn clutched her chest as if I’d physically wounded her. Each dollar I mentioned seemed to cause her physical pain. I fought to keep my expression neutral, though satisfaction bloomed inside me.

Twenty minutes later, Kyle’s hand trembled as he signed the medical contract in his father’s study. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he wrote the check for the two hundred thousand dollar deposit – covering the first two treatments.

“This is highway robbery,‘ he muttered, though there was no real fight left in his voice.

“This is the price of your mother’s life,” I corrected him. ‘And Kate’s freedom.”

When we returned to the sitting room to begin treatment, Adalyn hovered nervously over my medical bag.

Chapter 174

“Wait–are those silver needles?” she gasped, pointing at my specialized acupuncture kit. ‘You can’t stick those into a werewolf!”

I sighed, arranging my instruments methodically. “These are specially crafted implements from the Moonheal pack traditions. Isabel used this same method for decades. They’re completely safe when used correctly.”

I explained the two–phase treatment: first acupuncture, then three consecutive days of herbal immersion to stabilize the effects. Mrs. Stone’s eyes communicated her consent, and Kyle nodded reluctantly, silencing any further protests from Adalyn.

As I inserted the first needle into Mrs. Stone’s wrist, something unexpected happened. A powerful surge of energy rushed from deep within me, through my arms and into my hands. A faint silvery–white glow emanated from my fingertips, warm and somehow sacred.

This awakening was unlike anything before–my wolf’s strength no longer a curse, but a focused force for healing and control.

I felt my eyes partially shift not enough for the others to notice in the dimly lit room, but I could suddenly see the silver toxin coursing through Mrs. Stone’s body like dark spider webs beneath her skin. The paths were clear to me now, the concentration points obvious.

With newfound precision, I guided the herbal essence into the areas where the poisoning was most severe. I’d never experienced such control, such healing power before. It was as if my wolf – the white wolf I’d feared for so long – was channeling ancient healing knowledge through me.

I kept my face carefully neutral, not wanting to reveal this development to the Stone family. By the time I finished, Mrs. Stone’s complexion had visibly improved. She even managed to whisper a hoarse ‘thank you‘ as I packed my instruments.

I felt both exhausted and exhilarated. Something profound had awakened inside me

–

the dormant wolf blood finally finding its purpose.

“Miss Gray!” Kyle called out, jogging to catch up as Eric and I walked toward the car. The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the manicured lawn of the Stone estate. “I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for my mother. The Stone family owes you a great debt.”
