The Alpha’s Barren Pup Chapter 60 for– Trial of Heart and Skill
LyraI stretched lazily in the warm afternoon sun, feeling satisfied after a successful morning of herb gathering. The peace was short-lived."Luna Lyra!" The young wolf called, rushing towards me. "Elder Lila needs you in her lair. It's urgent!"My heart skipped a beat. Urgently? That couldn't be good.I hurried to Lily's lair, anxiety growing with each step. What could be so urgent?"Elder Lila?" I called, pulling aside the heavy curtain at the entrance to her lair. "Did you want to see-"The words died in my throat. There on the floor was Kim. My friend. My confidant. Pale as death and trembling as a leaf in autumn."Kim!" I cried and rushed to her. "What happened?"Lili's harsh voice cut through my panic. “That, Luna Lyra, is what you need to find out.I tore my eyes away from Kim's shaking form and stared at Lila. The old man's face was a stone mask that revealed nothing."What do you think?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Lila's next words hit me like a physical blow
The Alpha’s Barren Pup Chapter 61 – Race Against Time
LyraI strode back and forth in Lila's den, my thoughts racing like leaves trapped in a storm. Kim was laying on the improvised bed, breathing shallowly and laboriously. Each agonizing breath served as a reminder of the ticking clock. "Think, Lyra," I said to myself. "What did Lila say about poison?" Rare. It mimics a wasting illness. But aside from that, I was grasping at shadows. "We'll make it," Selene's voice said calmly in my head, a contrast to my terror. "We've experienced obstacles before. I took a deep breath and attempted to concentrate. "You're right," I muttered. "We have to approach this methodically." I went down beside Kim and softly grasped her hand. It felt chilly and moist, like a wet stone. "Kim?" I called quietly. "Can you hear me?" Her eyelids fluttered and she managed a weak nod. “I need you to tell me exactly how you feel,” I said, squeezing her hand. "Every detail can be important." Kim's voice was barely a whisper. "It… it's burning. Like fire in my veins.

LyraI sat at Kim's bedside, watching as her chest rose and fell with each difficult breath. The brief satisfaction I had after recovering her had dissipated, replaced by a nagging concern. Kim wasn't safe yet, and I was running out of options."How are you feeling?" I asked quietly, holding her hand in mine. Kim's eyelids fluttered open, a faint grin spreading across her pale face."Been better," she muttered. "But I'm still here, thanks to you." Her words, intended to reassure, twisted the knife of guilt in my belly."Don't thank me yet," I mumbled. "I haven't cured you." Kim clasped my hand with the little power she had left. "You will," she assured me, her trust unshakeable."I trust you, Lyra." As Kim fell back asleep, I felt tears well up in my eyes. How could she have such faith in me when I was full of doubt? "We can't let her down," Selene said in my head."We have to keep trying." I nodded and wiped away my tears. "You're correct. But what if we don't find it out in time?

Lyra I sat at Kim's bedside, observing her while the antidote I gave her gradually took effect. The room was quiet except for the mild sound of Kim's breathing, which was more steady than it had been in hours. "Come on, Kim," I said softly, squeezing her hand."You can do it. Fight." Kim's eyes twitched wide, as if she had heard my cry. Her eyes, previously darkened with sadness, now carried a spark of life. "Lyra?" she said, her voice soft but distinct. "What happened?" Relief surged through me, making me dizzy."You're okay," I said, tears welling up in my eyes. "It worked."You are going to be fine." Kim attempted a little grin. "I told you you could do it," she murmured, squeezing my hand slightly. I let out a teary chuckle. "Yeah, well, next time maybe don't volunteer to be poisoned, okay?" "Deal," Kim chuckled and winced slightly. "Ow."Laughter hurts." "Take it easy," I said, adjusting her covers. "You've been through a lot." As Kim fell asleep, I felt Selene stir within
The Alpha’s Barren Pup Chapter 64 – The Healer's Recognition
LyraThe following morning, I awakened to the sound of enthusiastic discussion outside Lila's den. Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I sat up, slightly bewildered."What's going on?" I whispered to myself. Kim, who appeared considerably stronger, beamed from her bed."Sounds like you've got some admirers out there, hero." I felt a flush crawl across my cheeks."Do not call me that."I simply did what anyone would do.""Not anyone could have done what you did," Kim said."Go on, they're waiting for you." I took a big breath and went outdoors. To my astonishment, it appeared like the entire pack had congregated. As soon as they spotted me, their faces lit up and they cheered."There she is!""Our Luna!""The healer who saved Kim!" I stood paralyzed, overc

LyraThree days after my triumph in the healer's trial, I found myself once again standing before the Council of Elders. The circular chamber felt more imposing than ever, the air thick with anticipation.Akira, the Pack Historian, was the first to speak. Her iron-gray braids seemed to bristle as she fixed me with a stern gaze. "Luna Lyra, you have surprised us with your... unexpected success in the healer's trial."I stood tall, refusing to be cowed. "Thank you, Elder Akira. I hope I've begun to prove my worth to the pack."Lila, the Medicine Woman, leaned forward, her dark eyes searching my face. "You've shown potential, child. But do not let this small victory go to your head. The path ahead is far more treacherous.""I understand," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady.
