Royal's POVAlthough I fell unconscious, I stirred up again, my breath shallow, and my body weak. It felt like my spirit came out of my body and was watching the doctors cater to me.The room filled with urgency as doctors and nurses rushed in, their faces a blur of white coats and concerned expressions. Alpha Rico, the stranger who had saved me before, was standing by my bedside, his intense gaze fixed on me."Save her! Do something! She must not die!" he roared but I didn't hear him clearly as I was in a daze.One of the doctors swiftly approached, his voice calm but authoritative. "We need to get her back on the bed immediately. She's struggling to breathe," he said, his tone laced with urgency.

Royal's POVTaking a deep breath, I met Alpha Rico's gaze and nodded slowly, a smile on my face. "Yes, Alpha Rico," I said, my voice steady but my heart pounding with uncertainty. "I'll join your pack."A smile spread across Alpha Rico's face, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "I'm glad to hear that, Royal," he replied warmly. "I believe this is the right path for you."His words stirred something deep within me, an ember of courage and determination that had long been smoldering.

It was unlike anything I had ever felt."We have much to prepare for, Royal," Alpha Rico said, his voice infused with a sense of urgency.

Royal's POVRico noticed the change in my demeanor and followed my gaze, his expression turning grave. "Royal, what's wrong?" he asked, concern etched in his facial features.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart. "It's Beta Simon," I managed to say, my voice trembling. "He was the Beta of my old pack. I never thought I would see him again."Rico's eyes narrowed as he assessed the situation. "Beta Simon, from Crescent Moon pack? You are from the Crescent Moon pack?"I nodded, unable to say anything."Stay here, Royal," he said firmly, his protective instincts kicking in. "I'll go and find out what he's doing here."I watched as Rico exited the car, his confident stride carrying him toward Simon. The tension in the air was palpable as I anxiously awaited his return, my mind racing with questions. What was Simon doing here? Was he a threat to me and the pack?

Royal's POVAs we descended the grand staircase, I marveled at the architectural beauty of the pack house. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings depicting the history and traditions of the Silver Lining pack. The air held a faint scent of pine, a reminder of the vast forest that surrounded us.We reached the ground floor, and Rico led me toward the front entrance. As we stepped outside, the cool night air kissed my skin, and I used my hands to keep myself warm until Rico draped a jacket over me and I hugged it tighter around me. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the expansive grounds.We began our leisurely walk, the soft crunch of gravel beneath our feet providing a rhythmic soundtrack to our conversation.

Royal's POV In the depths of the darkness, I felt weightless, as if I was drifting through the vast expanse of the universe. Colors swirled around me, ethereal and captivating. I had entered a realm beyond the boundaries of time and space, where dreams intertwined with reality. A soft light began to emerge, gradually illuminating my surroundings.

The air grew heavy with unsettling energy, and an icy chill crept up my spine. I reached out to touch her trembling shoulder, desperately trying to ground her back to reality."Elysia, please!" I implored, my voice laced with a mixture of concern and fear. "Come back to me. Snap out of it! Come back to me, please."Her head tilted slowly, unnaturally, as if controlled by an unseen force. Her lips moved, whispering words that seemed foreign and ancient, resonating with power and danger. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, and a feeling of impending danger washed over me.And then, in an instant, her eyes refocused, the whiteness dissipating like a passing storm cloud.
