Loren Examined Jasmine as he worked over her.
He saw the source of which her wound was bleeding, and then he used more of his leaf, which was more of a significant component that could suppress bleeding.
The leaf would simply be pressed against the wound, and then it would attack itself until it had spilled its nutrients into the wound and was worn out.
Then it had to be thrown away and another one used in its place.
Loren kept at this, except it was happening at a fast rate.
He tried to use his herbs and medicines to resuscitate her, but it was like she was just hanging.
She was not dead yet, but she sure as hell was going there.
And it baffled him. She should be dead for someone like Jasmine who was an unshifted wolf.
But here she was, hanging between life and death, not getting any better.
And he could tell that she was going to get worse.
He had to admit it she was dying.
He picked up the dagger that had been used to stab her.
It was most definitely not normal.
It was laced with something strong.
If only he had that Lyrun herb that Jasmine had managed to plant, it would have kept her alive for a longer time.
At least long enough to decipher how he would cure her.
What exactly had Aurora used?
It smelled of dark energy.
He went back to his books, rushing through to see if there was a way he could bring her back.

Marie climbed up the steps with Damien and a couple of the other pack guards behind her.
She saw Xaden, and she smiled.
"You sent your men to get me." She said to him.
He looked so distressed and frustrated.
So, this girl had such immense power and influence over him.
"I had to send for you, " he said, raking his hands through his hair. I apologize if I interrupted something you were doing."
She tossed one of her beautiful dreadlocks across her shoulder and said. "Oh, please save the apologies; I had nothing to do. It is always good when someone calls me out of my shell. Moreover, you didn’t give me a choice."
"Jasmine was stabbed by Aurora," Xaden said, his bloodshot eyes burning. "Loren is in there trying to handle it, but I do not know for how long. I needed to send for you. Please."
She looked at him with a Frown. "How bad is it?"
His face fell.
She could not let anything happen to her!
If she did, she would not end up collecting her payment.
"You should have told me immediately instead of wasting time talking!" She said as she hurried off to the door.
Loren was already opening the door, and everyone jumped up in anxiety.
"Xaden, Erik, and Fiona come in."
"Then how come she is alive," Erik asked.
Xaden was too weak to ask any questions.
"That is an answer I do not know," Marie said.
The room went quiet.
Xaden believed that he was going to go mad from the silence.
"There has to be something that you can do!" He screamed.
They all went quiet.
Then Marie said. "There is one way."
All eyes turned to look at her.
She swallowed and said. "The Isle of Lycanthrope."
Everywhere went death silent.
Because they all knew.
It was only Fiona who was looking around, confused.
Loren spoke up in disgust. "That is a death sentence!"
"What is the Isle of Lycanthrope?" she asked. "I did not get the chance to be educated before my pack was raised. Plus, the little education I got, I always slept."
"The Isle of lycanthrope is the birthplace of the Lycans," Marie said. "It is where the goddess created the first Lycan. It is where they roamed before they lost their minds. At least the ones who remained. It is also where he originally came from."
The he she referred to was none other than Erik.
All eyes diverted from Marie to him.
