Chapter 212 Third POV: The clock struck one in the morning, and the hospital sat in eerie silence, its hallways dimly lit by flickering fluorescent lights.
The quiet hum of machines blended with the occasional shuffle of nurses' shoes.
Suddenly, the rumble of multiple car engines broke through the stillness, making the nurse on night duty jump. She hesitated, peering through the large windows by the entrance, her heart pounding in her chest.
at she saw made her blood run cold.
Several sleek, black SUVS rolled up to the hospital's front door, their headlights casting sharp beams through the misty night air.
One by one, the doors swung open, and from them emerged a formidable sight: hundreds of strong, burly warriors clad in dark clothing, their faces unreadable but their presence menacing. Each man moved with the disciplined grace of an elite fighter, their eyes glowing with a quiet but deadly fury.
The nurse clutched her clipboard tighter, her hands trembling.
She took a step forward, her voice small and wavering, "W-who are you people?" The group remained silent for a beat, the tension thick in the air.
Then, a woman stepped forward from the leading SUV. She was tall, her posture commanding, with sharp, confident strides.
Her raven-black hair was pulled into a tight ponytail, and her piercing eyes held an intensity that could shatter steel.
"My nis Freya," she said in a cold, even tone. "I'm the beta of the Thorne Valley Pack." The nurse blinked, a confused frown crossing her face.

"We used to be rogues," she explained calmly, noticing the nurse's confusion. "But we formed an alliance and fought in the last war. The Werewolf Council has officially recognized us as a pack." The nurse's legs shook beneath her, and she swallowed hard.
She gathered her courage, standing a little straighter.
"This is Silvermoon," she stammered. "You can't just walk in here and... and do whatever you please! This isn't a place for you to-" Freya's smile vanished in an instant, her eyes hardening.
"We are not here to cause chaos. We are here for one reason, and one reason only: to retrieve our pack's sole heir." The weight of her words hit the nurse like a punch.
The heir of the Thorne Valley Pack? Here? In this hospital? Panic surged through her veins.

Freya and her warriors brushed past her like a force of nature, and the nurse could do nothing but watch as they marched into the building. Elizabeth's POV: Inside the hospital room, the air was thick with tension.

For a moment, his gaze flickered, and I could see the struggle within him.
He wasn't ready to let go. His grip ontightened for just a heartbeat before he finally relented.
Slowly, reluctantly, he loweredback onto the hospital bed.
Tears spilled from my eyes, and when I saw my mother standing there, it felt like the dam had burst.

Just thinking of her nwas enough to overwhelm me.
I'd thought she was gone, thought I was alone.
