89. The Extinct Pack
ALPHA RAIDEN
Why are the women in my life stubborn and annoyingly strong?
From the oldest, my mom to the youngest, Katie, they find a way to dragthrough hell without lifting a finger.
"Mom..." | called out again, carrying her unconscious body to the second bed in the room.
Aurelia's eyes were still wide and teary as she watchedplace my mom in the bed and Kyle just seemed
confused. | wouldn't blhim. After all, he had just woken up from a long disturbing sleep to see an unfamiliar
woman collapse by his bedside.
Within a minute, a doctor and a healer stormed into the room as | had already asked them to stay close. It's safe
to say that | knew this would happen. | predicted that something would go wrong because my mom wasn't fit to
use her rusty abilities but she was hell-bent on saving Kyle from the dark dreams had been enduring for many
days.
And for that, | was grateful.
But again, why do the women in my life have to be stubborn and unreasonable?
"What happened here? Kyle is conscious and calm?" The healer | have heard Aurelia call Phoebe several times,
stuttered as she stepped into the room.
"Quit asking questions and attend to my mother!" | wanted to yell at her so bad but | inhaled deeply, restraining
myself as she hurried over to my mom.
| stepped aside for the duo to heal my mom... | hoped they would be able to bring her back. | just got her back, |

"She will be alright. She burned herself out but a few days of rest will restore her strength." Lex assured me.
| could feel my heart getting lighter by the second. The emotional burden that had been weighingdown was
gradually lifting as the thought of Kyle and my mom making a full recovery crossed my mind.
It would be nice to have them both out of the hospital and | was looking forward to holding an honorary funeral
for my dad, officially welcoming my mom back to the pack, and also making Nolan and his family pay for Larisa's
crimes if she doesn't surrender herself soon. Well, even if Larisa was to surrender, I'd still punish her family.
There was no escaping that.
"I know Lady Iris is a spectacular healer and whatever she did has saved Kyle's life but | advise she doesn't use
her abilities until she recovers fully or she won't make it out alive next time." The doctor chimed professionally.
| muttered, "There wouldn't be a next time." I'd make sure nothing like this ever happens again.
Kyle would be safe. Katie would be protected. My mom would be taken care of and Aurelia would be happy
because I'd make sure of that.
Phoebe continued from where the doctor stopped, sharing her healer's insight. "She needs rest. | suggest she
stays in the hospital for a few more days so we can look after her. Kyle needs to be examined as well and after
that, you all will be discharged."
I nodded in understanding, appreciating them for the services they provided for my family. The duo left the room
after screening Kyle and pronounced him well. | could see questions swimming in their eyes but they didn't voice
them.
However, Aurelia did after Kyle fell asleep. His first peaceful sleep in weeks. "What did she do to Kyle?"
"She healed him, | suppose," | answered with a sigh, holding my mom's hands while staying beside her bed.
Aurelia on the other hand was in Kyle's bed and he was sleeping in her arms. "How did she do that?. knew she
was a healer but so is Pheobe. There has to be more." She stated obvious facts.
But was it my place to tell Aurelia about my mom? | guess | could but | also didn't know the full story and-
"You are right, child. There is more." My mom breathed almost inaudibly as her eyes fluttered open.
I mumbled, keeping her in the bed when she tried to sit up, "No, Mom. You need to rest or I'll have someone tie
you to this goddamn bed." | left no room for argument.
But my mom glared, "You don't curse in my presence, Raiden. Alpha or not, I'm your mother."
"Agreed," | stated firmly and added just as firmly. "But I'm your Alpha and | mean it when | said I'll have you tied
to this bed if that is what
I've to do to ensure that you get
enough rest, Mom."

My mom was about to argue but Aurelia cut in, "As much as I'd enjoy watching you hand his ass to him, Iris, I'm
dying to know more. Please focus onfor the tbeing." Aurelia glanced at Kyle and from her expression, |
could tell that she wanted to discuss the topic before Kyle woke up.
"It's simple, Aurelia." My mom
smiled, taking her attention off me

while | listened to her as she
continued. "I used my healing abilities to take all the memories that traumatized the kid."
Aurelia inhaled audibly. "You wiped his memories?"
"More like, | healed his wounded mind. | mean, | tried the best I could do. | might have to take a look at him
tomorrow so-"
| countered, "You can't, Mom. | appreciate you trying to heal my son but you're also sick. | can't lose either of
you."
My mom parted her lips to most likely argue but Aurelia interrupted, mouthing with disbelief, "You healed his
mind? | still don't understand how you managed to do that."
My brows furrowed when | noticed Auelia's facial expression. It was almost unreadable because aside from
curiosity, | couldn't decipher what the dull glint in her blue eyes meant.
"You don't have to be surprised, Aurelia." My mom uttered. "After all, I'm the last living werewolf with ties to the
extinct pack."
| was quite familiar with the tale of the extinct pack but Aurelia doesn't appear to have a clue. She whispered,
"Extinct pack?"
"Yes, the White Shade Pack." My mom answered. "Although I'm a half-breed, | have the blood of a white wolf and
that makesspecial, | guess."
Aurelia's eyes widened and her mouth fell open.
If I didn't know my mom's origin, I'd have been shocked too but in Aurelia's case, she was more than shocked.
