His tone was playful and charming. There was no Alpha arrogance or coldness in his voice.

Elder Wright shook her head with a fond smile. “This is Harper Brooks. She just transferred here from Headquarters to be our new Healer.”

She turned to me. “Harper, this is the young man I mentioned, Lucas Sterling. He’s a warrior from the West.”

Lucas immediately stepped forward and held out his large hand. His gaze was clear and intense. “Harper? Hi! I’m

Lucas.”

‘I heard Headquarters was sending an expert to fix our medical logs, but I didn’t expect someone so young and pretty. Welcome to the Badlands!”

I hesitated for a second before reaching out.

His palm was huge, warm, and dry. His grip was firm but gentle. As his large hand closed over my cold, scarred Fingers, a sudden jolt of electricity shot up my arm.

Deep inside my mind, my wolf-the wolf that had been dead and silent for ten long years-gave a tiny, weak

Flutter.

I gasped softly. I wasn’t used to this kind of instant warmth. I quickly pulled my hand back. “Hello. You can just call me Harper.”

‘Alright, Harper. That’s a beautiful name,” Lucas said, his eyes never leaving my face.

He didn’t care that I didn’t smell like a strong, shifting wolf. He looked at me like I was the most important person

in the room.

Lucas was extremely talkative. “What a coincidence, we’re both ‘outsiders.’ This place might seem a bit rough and freezing at first. But once you stay here a while, you’ll realize the sky is endless and the wolves here are simple. There are no complicated pack politics.”

He spoke quickly, jumping from the weather to the local hunting grounds, and then to a funny story about a bear he chased on patrol. I didn’t even need to respond; he kept the conversation flowing effortlessly.

“Anyway, if you need someone to show you the safe paths in the forest, or help you pick herbs, just ask me! I’ve been here a month; I know these woods like the back of my hand.”

I simply nodded, my gaze sweeping over his bright, handsome face.

I couldn’t help but compare him to Silas Vance. They were complete opposites.

Silas was like a frozen glacier-cold, strict, and always pushing people away. But the man in front of me was like a blazing fire in the middle of winter: intense, direct, and completely open.

“You’re from the Western Wilds?” I finally found a chance to ask. The West was known for having the largest, most untamed wolves in the continent.

Lucas grinned and shrugged his broad shoulders. “Yeah! I like traveling. I heard the rogue fights here were intense and the forest was wild, so I decided to stay for a while. Isn’t life about experiencing everything?”

He waved his hand playfully. “Anyway, I’ll let you get back to your books. I don’t want to distract you on your first lay. If you need a guide, just mind-link me… actually, just yell my name. I’ll hear you!”

With that, he waved to Elder Wright and walked out of the archive room, leaving a trail of warm amber scent behind him.

Elder Wright shook her head, smiling. “That boy never runs out of energy.”

didn’t say anything. I just turned toward the shelves to look for the medical files I needed. But my hand was still ingling from his touch.

By the time I returned to my cabin, night had fallen. The winter night came early at the border, and the emperature dropped sharply.

didn’t turn on the light. I walked to the window. Outside, there were no tall buildings blocking the view. Above ne was an infinite, dark sky, sprinkled with millions of stars shining like crushed diamonds.

remembered the small window in Silas’s office. From there, you could only see a tiny piece of the sky.

used to think that being in his office, looking at his small piece of the sky, was my whole world.

But now, I was standing here in the wild, facing a vast, endless sea of stars. And for the first time in ten years, I felt

ike I could finally breathe.
