Joyful thoughts filled Thane's mind, especially the tantalizing possibility of walking again. His heart swelled with hope, envisioning strides through the forest, wind in his hair.But then, disaster struck. Thane's legs began to spasm, wracking his body with agony. Muscles contorted, twisting like tortured rope.River, feeling his pain, asked, “What is happening, Thane?”"Jackie, stop!" Thane screamed, thrashing in his chair. His voice echoed off the walls, a desperate cry.Jackie's face paled, his eyes wide with alarm. "I-I don't understand. The acupuncture was working!" His hands trembled, hastily removing the needles.Theresa rushed forward, her voice calm. "Thane, breathe!" Her hands grasped his shoulders, holding him steady.Zara's face fell, concern etched on her features. "What is happening, Jackie?" Her voice was laced with urgency.Thane's body arched, his back straining against the chair. Pain coursed through him like molten fire.Jackie's eyes darted to his texts, frantica

Hours later, River waited, ears attuned to the house's nocturnal rhythms. As the last servant retired and the guards' patrols grew infrequent, she made her move. Howls from the distance pricked her ears and she hoped that she would soon be able to respond in like manner.With the ritual book hidden beneath her skirt, River slipped out of her room. The darkened hallway swallowed her whole, the only sound her soft footsteps.She navigated the labyrinthine corridors, avoiding creaky floorboards. The book's directions guided her through the silent house, out into the moonlit gardens. She went further away from the pack house, into the deep forest, where no one could witness her miracle. The moon shone brightly lighting her way.She found seven stones within the forest and arranged them in a circle according to the ritual instruction. She stood in the middle, lifted up her eyes to the full moon. The bright light assaulted her eyes as the moon reached its peak and she quickly bowed her head

Thane's wheelchair rolled into his room, Zara expertly navigating the space. The door clicked shut behind them, enveloping Thane in silence. Ever since his recent kiss with death from healer Jackie’s failed treatment, Thane’s mind has been in turmoil. His mind was flooded with thoughts of his first and fated love, Axel."Leave me," Thane growled, his anger still simmering, a potent mix of emotions churning within.Zara hesitated, concern etched on her face. "Sir, perhaps—""Out!" Thane barked, his voice cutting through the air.Zara departed, closing the door behind her. The soft click seemed to echo through Thane's mind, a reminder of his isolation.Thane slumped, his chest heaving as if he had run a marathon. Axel's memory flooded his mind, a bittersweet tidal wave of love and loss."Forever entwined," he whispered, anguish wracking him. The words seared his heart, a painful reminder of what he'd lost.He slammed his fist on the armrest, the sound resonating through the room. Why mu

Zara's expression softened, a wistful smile crossing her face. "Music," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Young Alpha played the piano beautifully, but not anymore."River's eyes sparkled, sensing a potential connection. Thane's abandoned passion could be a doorway to his heart."Did he play often?" River asked, curiosity getting the better of her.Zara nodded. "Every evening, before the accident and then, Axel left. His music used to fill the halls, bringing peace to our pack."River's imagination conjured the image: Thane's fingers dancing across the keys, his music a reflection of his soul."I would love to hear him play again," River said, her voice filled with sincerity.Zara's eyes locked onto River's, a glimmer of hope shining within. "Perhaps, Young Luna, you will be the one to bring music back to his life."Within an hour, Zara told River everything about Thane’s life before the accident and how Axel broke their bond and left him. River was angry with Axel for he

Thane's gaze drifted through the garden's lush greenery, searching for the source of the melodic humming. His gaze finally landed on River, as she knelt among the flowers, her fingers dancing across petals. The sunlight cast a warm glow on her profile, illuminating the gentle curve of her smile.His chest tightened, a familiar ache stirring within. Thane's grip on his wheelchair's armrests intensified, a subconscious attempt to anchor himself against the turbulent emotions within him.Why did she affect him so profoundly? River's presence was a gentle breeze on a summer's day, soothing yet unsettling. Thane's mind wrestled with the contradiction.As River's humming ceased, she glanced up, her eyes locking onto Thane's. For an instant, they held each other's gaze. Thane's face flushed, his heart racing. River's smile faltered, and she returned to tending the flowers. Thane's tension eased, replaced by disappointment.Thane's thoughts swirled, a mix of trepidation and curiosity. He had
