Counterback of the Despised Luna Chapter 461 Unfamiliar Woman Rosaline's POV: After Caden left. I remained in the quiet hospital room my gaze fixed on Jasper. He lay there, still unconscious, his eyes shut as if he were in a deep, restless sleep.

+8 Pearls His surgery was over. The bandages were neatly wrapped around his torso, a stark reminder of what had happened. I bit down on my lip, my mind swirling with questions I didn't have answers for.

I knew how Jasper felt about me. But what now? What was I supposed to do with that knowledge? The buzzing of my phone broke my thoughts. I glanced down, sccing Naomi's nflash on the screen.

Naomi asked, "Rosaline, Lilian was taken away by the police. How's Jasper now?" I answered, "He just finished surgery. He hasn't woken up yet." I hit send and shut the phone off, letting the silence return. The soft hum of the television filled the room, the flickering images on the screen pulling my attention.

The headline read, "Tragedy strikes The Call of the Wild set. Storm Pack's heir wa White is in custody. Investigation is still underway." shot, and the suspect, The screen flashed an image of Lilian, her face twisted in despair-handcuffed and helpless.

I sighed, my chest tightening, and switched off the TV. The silence felt heavier now.

Wendy's POV: I sank into the couch while flicking through channels. My mind restless with thoughts scattering about. My finger hovered over the remote, stopping when a news report caught my eye. The screen flashed a headline about the Call of the Wild set and Lilian being dragged away by the police.

I sat up straight, my breath catching in my throat. My heart slammed against my chest as they pounded. loudly in my ears.

Lilian, that useless fool! I'd planned to use her, have her deal with Rosaline. But this idiot couldn't even do that.

Not only did she fail, but she got herself arrested in the process.

I grounded my teeth together, my fists tightening with fury. I slammed my hand down on the couch, the frustration bubbling over.

I shouldn't have trusted Lilian. As if failing her one job wasn't bad enough, she got Jasper hurt. This would just put more problems on my plate.

"Wendy, what's wrong?" Michael's voice cut through my anger, snappingback to reality. I forced a smile, turning toward him, voice as calm as I could manage. "Nothing.

The surgeon can take care of that scar on your wrist. It's not something a girl should have to deal with." I stared at the address for a moment, the words blurry my gaze. Finally, I nodded, the decision made. “Okay." Two days later, I landed at Spiritas Airport.

As soon as I stepped out of the terminal, I spotted a car waiting. A werewolf in a black suit nodded as I approached. "Ms. Crawford? From the Wild Pack?" I dragged my suitcase closer, raising an eyebrow at him confusion clear on my face. But I nodded anyway.

"We're here to take you to the clinic. Mr. Grawford sens. He wants you to go straight to the hospital. Please, get in." At the clinic, I was a bundle of nerves. I met the surgeon Michael had arranged for me, and after a quick discussion about my wrist, I was checked into a room.

As I stood by the door, ready to enter, I saw her. A delicate she wolf, with a face like a doll's, stood at the threshold.

She was still in a hospital gown, as though she'd just recovered. Her eyes widened when she saw me.

"You?" I froze, confused. I didn't recognize her.

"Do we know each other?" Lasked, my voice tight.

The werewolf blinked, then gently touched her face, a sheepish smile curling on her lips. "Sorry. I thought you were someone else. A friend of mine looks a lot like you." Candice's POV: Wendy glanced at me, confusion clouding her features but she nodded and followed the nurse into the room to drop off her things.

I watched them go, a wave of triumph swelling inside me.

She had no idea. The woman standing before her was me-Candice Reese, the princess of Phantom Pack.

I had truly defied death. The fall from that cliff should have ended me. Caden's wolf had torn through my arm, and the jagged rocks had scarred me; my body a patchwork of wounds. I thought I was finished. But then my brother-Jason Reese, the Phantom Pack's heir-found me.

Three days. For three days I was unconscious in the hospital. When I finally woke, bandages covered most of my body, my face included. The doctors toldI was lucky to be alive. My arm had been reattached, but its function would never fully return. And my face my once-beautiful face-was unrecognizable.

Jason had no choice but to sendto Hoorn for reconstructive surgery. Each day there was a brutal reminder of my past; the rehab for my arm was a constant agony to go through. But it had all been worth it. Now, my face was flawless. Perfect. No one would ever recognize me.
