After Samantha had spent the previous three days being held in the dungeons of the Blue Moon Pack, two younger members of the pack arrived to be detained there. Their names were Danny and Elise. It appears that they were the only members of their pack to survive the attack that the rogues carried out. Amelia and Jason treated the two children with respect, as though they were members of their own family, even though the two children were quiet and injured when they arrived. Samantha watched as the two children gradually became more open and emerged from their shells. She did so with a smile on her face as the books she had requested arrived on the same day she had questioned Aaron about their delivery.

Every so-called inmate in the dungeon received three square meals a day, and on occasion, they were given even more food if they specifically requested it. The Blue Moon Pack had a reputation for being particularly vicious and guarding their territory fiercely; as a result, the populace began to believe that they were bloodthirsty barbarians who watched over their domain. But Samantha's perspective began to shift as she observed the way the group interacted with people from the outside. It was not like anything else. It was done in a friendly manner.

While Amelia was finishing up her treatment on Samantha's wound, she suddenly announced to her that "The Alpha will be arriving soon. Dear, he will ask you several questions about yourself. I need you to promise me that every one of your answers will be honest. Because of this, we will decide whether or not you are allowed to remain a member of the pack.

Samantha murmured, "That's comforting," as she winced in discomfort as Amelia rubbed some alcohol on a wound in order to clean it. The doctor smiled at her tenderly and nodded his head in response.

Luther moaned in agony as the pain in his back flared up even though he was no longer in the territory of Moon Valley. Now that he was in front of the mansion that the Mountain Peak Pack called home, he noticed that there was no sentry posted. This was his final stop after traveling throughout North America to forge alliances with packs that were dispersed in a variety of locations across the continent.

He had gone to great lengths to negotiate peace treaties with other wolf packs all over the world. While the majority of packs accepted his terms and conditions, there were a few that were so intimidated and terrified by the alleged notoriety of Luther's pack that they decided to form an alliance with Moon Valley instead.

While Aaron was standing in front of the mansion, he made the decision that he would first check in on the pack that he commanded. He concentrated his thoughts and immediately found the person that he wanted to speak to:

Aaron said in a nonchalant manner, "Speak." You have reached Aaron the Great. Thank you very much.

Luther rolled his eyes in response to this question and then continued, "How is the pack doing?"

It's not a problem. Aaron responded with a joke by saying, "Kidding aside. Everything is fine and dandy, and I have a monster hangover." There are currently five criminals being held in custody within the dungeon. While two of them are still young children, three of them have reached an age where they can be considered to be capable warriors for our pack.

"Children?" Luther inquired, a sense of unease permeating his voice.

"Yeah, they're probably around ten years old," you replied. They were the only ones left alive after the rest of their pack was slaughtered. How unfortunate. I really hope I can track down the gang that was responsible for this..." Aaron's voice took on a melancholy tinge at this point as if he were thinking back on something gloomy and far away.

Luther immediately told his Beta to "relax" when he sensed that the latter's emotions were rising unnecessarily, but Luther could relate. Because Aaron's sister had roughly the same fate as the kids, except that she did not survive, he, too, had to muster all of his willpower to refrain from getting angry. Aaron's sister had experienced roughly the same fate as the children.

When Luther thought back to Serenity when she was three years old, he couldn't help but feel a pang of melancholy. He recalled her chocolate brown hair and bright green eyes that always shone with curiosity and happiness. Her gentle appearance, her calming presence, and her laughter had a calming effect on those around her, similar to how one might feel when listening to the sound of soft wind chimes. Luther moaned about the recollection. When he was only six years old, they were inseparable, and they shared a very close relationship with one another.

Luther thought to himself with regret, "I miss her. I miss my friend, Serenity."

When Luther was six years old, he and his mate, Serenity, met each other. Serenity was only three years old at the time. There was a predetermined course of events that brought werewolves together. The anguish it had caused him when his true destiny was stolen from him was a direct result of it. Killed by a pack of rogue wolves, but as they rushed home to help repel the attackers, it was too late.

It appeared that Serenity had been murdered because no one was able to locate her body.

Luther's sad memories were interrupted when Aaron said, "I can practically feel your sadness from here," before turning to Luther and saying, "Focus, Alpha." You are in the thick of things" Aaron's voice came across as strained and irritated, which was not in keeping with his usual demeanor.

Luther immediately apologized after coming to the realization that even Aaron could read his thoughts when the two of them were mind linked. Anyway, take a look at them for the time being. I won't be here much longer. I promise.

Luther immediately transformed into a human form after the sudden emergence of a large number of guards from the mansion belonging to Lock Heart. They gave him a salute right away as a sign of recognition.

One of the guards addressed him as "Alpha Luther of the Blue Moon Pack," acting as though he were a herald, and continued by saying, "It is a pleasure to have your presence among us."

But as the guard continued to speak and turn his nose up at Luther, a voice came from within that shook the walls and erupted from somewhere in the room. Even the security personnel who had just emerged from the building trembled in fear.

"FIND HER!" It was a roar, like the rage of a wild animal that had finally come to a head. Luther was able to identify this voice as belonging to Yosef, the pack's Alpha, who was in the Lock Heart area.

When Luther entered the mansion, he saw that Yosef was yelling at someone who was cowering in response to the tone of his voice. With a sigh, Luther began to make his way slowly toward Yosef and the other person.

They found him right away, and Yosef's expression and tone changed when they did, "You are the Alpha of the pack in Moon Valley, Luther. We did not anticipate seeing you until much later..." While Yosef attempted to mask the obvious discomfort in his face with a smile, it was clear that he was experiencing it.

"Yeah, I can see that," she responded. Luther said with an arched brow as he eyed the cowering member of Yosef's pack, "What are you doing?" "Is there something that's happening?"

"Oh, don't worry about it. Yosef hastily dismissed his servant and turned his attention to the visiting Alpha after hurriedly announcing that one of his soldiers had been hurt by a rogue. "So, Luther, how exactly can I be of assistance to you? I was not provided with any specific details regarding our meeting that is scheduled for today.

Luther showed a hint of discomfort at Yosef's lack of decorum when he referred to him by his first name, but he chose to disregard it and smile placidly instead.

"I've been crisscrossing the country, maintaining alliances, establishing new ones, and keeping an eye out for any potential trouble spots. Which you appear to be possessing... When Luther said, "Anyway, there has been an increase in rogue attacks recently," Yosef coughed as he heard those words. I have a nagging concern that it could have been brought on by a group that has mutually committed to maintaining peace. After double-checking with the other accounts, I'll move on to yours. So let me ask you, Alpha Yosef. Are you the one who is causing all of these problems?

Yosef immediately approached Luther and clapped him on the shoulder while laughing hysterically. He said as if Luther was joking, "Come on, Alpha Luther!" and added, "You must surely be jesting." The peace treaty that we all agreed to cannot be broken for any reason that we can think of. You are free to investigate anything you like, of course, if you think it will make the situation less tense.

Luther gave a satisfied nod and then started searching the area immediately surrounding the mansion. A quarter of an hour later, he came up empty-handed in his investigation. He merely flashed a grin and nodded before completing the task at hand.

This time, "Ollie," Luther said while directing his thoughts towards Aaron, "I'm homebound. This makes absolutely no sense. When I get back to my house, let's talk some more.

Luther was concerned because Aaron appeared to be exhibiting some form of fear and horror. "Shit," Aaron said. Then it's up to me to clean up. The party we just left was a complete disaster!"

Luther, who had previously resided in a mansion, found himself missing it as he laughed at his Beta's words.

Amelia heaved a sigh as she approached their house, and as soon as she stepped through the front door of their house, she felt the waves of exhaustion begin to overtake her. Since taking care of patients had become a regular part of her life, all she wanted to do was lie down and sleep. The death of Serenity many years ago had a profound impact on her values, which in turn made her even more fervent in her desire to assist other people.

Jason had also arrived at his house by this time, and he appeared to be considering something while he paced around the room with his hand resting on his chin. In addition, he was muttering to himself, and it sounded as though he was about to cry.

"Honey, I beg you to pause. Because Amelia was acting annoyed, she said, "You're going to ruin the floor by pacing that quickly." Upon hearing this, Jason immediately stopped and stared at his wife with teary eyes.

When he broke down crying and said, "It's that Samantha girl," Amelia finally understood what was going on, and her heart broke into a million pieces. "She resembles her in such a striking way, Amelia. Please reassure me that I'm not mistaken.

Amelia heaved a sigh and made an effort to control the emotions that were rising to the surface within her. "Honey," she began, but Jason moved closer to her and grabbed both of her hands.

"I know, I know that we lost her all those years ago, but tell me right now, my eyes aren't lying, are they?" "I know, I know that we lost her all those years ago," Jason stated as if he had finally come to his senses and regained his sanity, that he was still clinging to the hope that their deceased daughter would return to them. Amelia's heart shattered as a result of it.

Amelia began to tear up as she addressed Jason and said, "We must move on." Since Serenity's departure from this world...

The words spoken by his wife caused him to frown, but it appeared that he had no intention of giving up on it. Because her dead body was never discovered, there is a chance that..."

"STOP!" The sudden shift in Amelia's tone caused Jason to freeze up. "It's because those scumbags dragged her into some hellhole to feast on!" Amelia yelled. Even more, tears were falling now as the feeling of isolation brought on by Serenity's death once again overcame them, especially in light of the fact that Samantha had only arrived a few days ago.

Right away, Jason wrapped his arms around Amelia and gave her a bear hug while saying, "I'm sorry. I apologize for bringing her up and causing you to be upset... He did light petting and stroking motion behind his wife's ears.

Amelia just sobbed and sobbed while burying her face in her boyfriend's chest and continuing to sob.

"Lui Lui! I'm afraid!" A young girl whimpered as she stood on the stairs leading down to a swimming pool. A hint of anxiety was visible in her eyes as she attempted to make her way down the stairs and into the pool. When Samantha turned her attention to the girl, she felt her heart melt at the cuteness of the situation. The way the girl pouted and hesitated despite the fact that she was wearing a life vest and floaters would melt the heart of anyone. He had his hair wet from the pool, smiling kindly at the little girl as he stretched out his arms, beckoning for the girl to come closer to him. The boy had blue eyes and stood at the bottom of the steps. He was also staring at her.

The young man yelled at her, "Come on, Serenity!" while maintaining his arms' outstretched position. "Let's swim. Don't be concerned; I'll keep a firm grip on your hand. Serenity was hesitant at first, but she inched her way closer to the boy. Serenity inched closer to the boy as she continued to test the water with her feet, and the boy yelled out, "I won't let you go!" as she got closer to him.

"You promise???" Serenity's question reflected her mixed feelings of skepticism, anxiety, and optimism.

The young man asked the young girl who was inching her way closer to him, "Have I ever lied to you, Serenity?" with a grin on his face. His eyes were fixed on the child who was coming closer to him.

Serenity smiled back at him and responded with a "Nuh-uh!" as she ran towards him while spraying water all over the place.

The young man laughed as Serenity stumbled into his arms, and he caught her just in time to spray water all over the surrounding area. As they played around in the water and splashed each other with water, their laughter could be heard throughout the entire location.

The scene playing out in front of Samantha's eyes was such a picture of purity that it made her heart feel warm and fuzzy inside. She could not help but smile as she watched it. Two youngsters were having the time of their lives and rediscovering their childhood innocence.

It was common knowledge that werewolves could find their "mates" at any point in their lives, regardless of age. If a person discovers their mate at a young age, it does not imply that they will develop a physical relationship with that person; instead, it simply means that they have found their destiny at such a young age.

If you are fortunate enough to find your soul mate at a young age, it means that you will provide for them, guard them, and be there for them whenever they have a need for you. There is no guarantee that it will develop into a romantic relationship, but given enough time and the maturation of both parties, there is a good chance that it will.

When Amelia and Jason arrived, they were laughing at the boy and girl who were playing in the pool while wearing adorable matching hats. They sat on the lounging chairs that had been placed on the side of the pool for a better view. A familiar face also arrived at the scene at the same time; he was beaming broadly and performed an awkward-looking cannonball into the middle of the pool.

Samantha suddenly became aware that she was observing a younger version of Aaron. His smile appeared to be even more sincere than she had previously remembered, and the joys of happiness shone brightly in his eyes.

The two children who were in there before him began to complain about Aaron tangling their hair, but the child who was in there after him did not appear to mind as he continued to splatter them with water. Aaron was the third child. Not long after that, everyone started laughing. Even Amelia and Jason, who were watching them while sipping the drinks they had brought, were interested in what they were doing.

The sound of Serenity's laughter could be heard throughout the entire location once more as it appeared that 'Lui Lui' had lunged at Aaron and was forcing Aaron's face down into the water as a form of punishment. Aaron was having a difficult time and making an effort to fight him off, but he was simply not strong enough.

It was as if the lights had gone out on stage, wiping the visuals of the pool scene and slowly transforming into something else. This transformation took place in front of Samantha's eyes and took place very slowly. She had the impression that she was being whisked away at a rapid pace, and her head was spinning as a result.

She felt a twinge of pain in her stomach as well as in her neck and other parts of her body, but she paid it no mind. The dream proceeded without interruption or disruption.

She suddenly found herself in a warm and inviting house, and the two children who had been there earlier were also present. It was in one of the children's bedrooms; based on the pink color scheme and the well-known cartoon characters that were hung all over the walls, it was clear that Serenity's room was the one in question.

Moonlight filtered in through the one window that was open in the room.

Serenity whimpered, "Lui Lui, I'm scared," her voice was trembling and laced with fear as she uttered the words. When Samantha turned around to look, she saw the same little girl, but this time she was dressed differently; however, she maintained the same facial features. Only this time, fear could be seen written all over her face. A short distance away from Serenity, a youngster who went by the name of Lui laid down on the mattress that was spread out on the floor. He opened one eye and stared at her before asking, "What's going on, Serenity?" with an immediate expression of concern on his face.

"What if...? "What if... the rogues' attack?" Serenity uttered in a trembling voice, stumbling over her words out of fear. Her tone was so endearing as she expressed her concerns, "Mommy said the rogues only attack at night, and that makes it very, very scary." Lui Lui immediately stood up and moved toward Serenity, where he knelt down next to her. After a brief embrace, he murmured reassuring words into her ear and said, "Don't worry, Serenity. I will always be here for you. I promise that I will guard you at all times.

Serenity raised her head and fixed her gaze on the other child's eyes before asking, "Do you promise?"

Lui Lui responded, "with my whole life," after nodding his head without a second thought.

As Samantha felt the pain begin to radiate throughout her body, the scene disintegrated before her eyes and became increasingly jumbled. As quickly as it had come, the dream about these two children faded away into the night. It felt like being struck by a lightning bolt.

She abruptly opened her eyes, gasped, and sat up, at which point she became aware that she was still in the dungeons, in the room that she had been sleeping in. There was a glimmer of sunlight coming in through one of the windows.

"What on earth did I see in that dream?!" Samantha asked herself this as she clenched her fists and clutched her chest as the pain began to intensify even further. She coughed once, and this time a pain shot through her throat. Her hair was standing on end because the dream was so chillingly realistic.

Samantha muttered to herself, "Fuck, that hurt," as she began to feel weaker and dizzier. She then coughed again, and this time blood came out into her hand. She had a bloody hacking cough. After that, she began to feel a burning sensation throughout her veins, and it was exactly as if someone had set fire to her entire blood supply. She kept coughing and gagging, and blood continued to spurt from her mouth with each heave of her chest as she coughed.

The guard was quick to notice this, and he went over to speak to the ill-looking "prisoner."

While he was trying to get a handle on the situation, he asked Samantha in a level-headed manner, "Hey, is everything okay?" However, it appears that Samantha did not notice him. The security officer reached out and grabbed her by the shoulder as she continued to hack and gag on whatever it was that she was eating.

It was as if someone had their icy hands on her, and she jerked back at the sensation. When she turned to look at the guard, she appeared to be dying, which caused him to start to become increasingly anxious. It appeared as though she was undergoing a transformation, but it was only momentary because her eyes widened, and the veins on her face and neck popped out.

As soon as the guard saw what was happening, he got in his mind a link and sent out a request for medical assistance for the prisoner. Amelia was already there a minute later, holding her equipment in both hands as she entered the dungeon section of the complex. The response time was incredible.

As soon as she saw Samantha struggling, her eyes widened, and she hurried into the jail cell to make Samantha lie down. The physician then proceeded to move her hands across Samantha's body while simultaneously shaking her head and reaching for her instruments.

The worried guard asked the doctor, "What's wrong, Doctor?" as she looked at him but continued to look for her tools. The doctor never stopped looking for them.

"It's the traces of wolf's bane in her system, and some fucked up creep decided that using pieces of silver and shoving it inside this poor girl's body would be a good sport. "It's the traces of wolf's bane in her system." Her wolf spirit is exerting all of its energy to purge the toxins from her body, but unfortunately, it is also slowly destroying her human side. If we do nothing to stop it, it will put an end to her life.

The security officer immediately indicated his comprehension of the seriousness of the situation with a nod.

Amelia quickly retrieved a scalpel from her bag and began making vertical cuts on both of Samantha's upper arms. The cuts made a clean incision through her flesh and caused blood to begin oozing out. Samantha immediately began to convulse when she felt like something was slicing into her arm and when she felt like warm liquid was dripping out of her arm.

As she shook in the bed, blood that was flecked with silver powder came out of her mouth, and the doctor exclaimed, "She does not appear to be in good shape!" The terrified guard continued his duties, despite the fact that he had no idea what to do next but that his arms were prepared to hold the patient down on command.

"Bring her to the hospital right away!" Amelia issued the command at once, and all of the guards posted in the dungeon immediately complied with the severity of her tone. They then carried Samantha off in the direction of the hospital with incredible speed and grace.

She was still trembling when they placed her on the bed a minute later, but it had slowed down noticeably at this point. She appeared to be more calm overall.

"Samantha. Amelia whispered to the woman in the bed, "Tell your wolf spirit to calm down, and I will save you both," hoping that her words would be heard by the other person. "Please, Samantha." The physician pleaded with Samantha as he secured her to the bed using the leather straps that were located on the side of the bed.

Samantha mumbled, "Ariel...please," while she was still gagging and choking, "Don't do this to me. Her voice was noticeably weakened as she said, "Let me handle it."

Luther, the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, had finally arrived at his destination, victorious in his endeavor, and he smiled broadly as he entered the mansion. The majority of the pack's members greeted him and acknowledged the arrival of their leader, who was also known as their Alpha. He didn't waste any time and went straight to the main room of his house, which was where he usually conducted business, and there he saw Aaron sitting in the chair.

Luther grinned and said, "Well, well, well." When Aaron and Luther met each other's eyes as the chair swiveled and they looked at each other, Aaron grinned and said, "Ah shit." Aaron immediately complied with Luther's request and left the chair alone. "Yes, and the Kill Joy needs his chair back," Luther said, pointing at the chair. "The Kill Joy is Home."

"So, Alpha, tell me about your journey," I asked. Luther simply shrugged in response to Aaron's question as he waited for news.

"Nothing of interest just forged a few alliances here and there, checked in on potential suspects for the rogue attacks but found none at all," she said. "Nothing of interest." I should have used that time more effectively."

This time, Aaron simply shrugged. "Well, have you ever been interested in meeting the rogues?"

Luther gave Aaron a disapproving look before nodding and saying, "Yes, bring them in." The children come first."

Aaron gave a slight nod, and it appeared as though he was already communicating with the other members of the pack via mind link.

After another five minutes, the door to his office was finally opened by two children who appeared timid. One was a boy who appeared timid and was just staring at the ground, and the other was a girl who had a fierce expression but otherwise looked pretty.

Aaron introduced them by saying, "These are the rugrats," and Luther looked at them with his bright blue eyes.

Because he wanted them to comprehend the significance of authority, he asked them kindly for their names while slowly imbuing his words with the ambiance of an aura. He did this because he wanted them to identify who they were.

The young woman introduced herself as Elise before introducing Danny as her friend. Her tone was slightly defiant, but it was clear that she was agitated by Luther's aura. Our pack was slaughtered by rogues, and both my parents and his parents were caught in the middle of it. "Elise bravely stared into Luther's eyes, and he commended her in his mind.

Danny looked up at Luther, this time with a look of desperation in his eyes as he spoke. "Mister Alpha Luther..." he said, his voice trailing off. Luther gestured at him with his chin, encouraging him to continue. "Can you please take us in..." he asked in a pleading voice, and Luther smiled at this request.

"Sure. That won't be a problem at all. Are there any problems that you see with this?" Luther said this while looking at Aaron, who smiled and shook his head in response to his question. The youngsters rejoiced and laughed as they hugged their new leader, who was also making jokes at their expense.

—-

He stared at me with a worried expression on his face. "Y—Yes, she's currently being cared for in the hospital's ward. The fact that she is covered in bruises and appears to have been subjected to severe abuse is the reason why her mother is caring for her. In addition, there were remnants of wolf's bane found within her. Perhaps the time after that?

When I heard that, the wrinkles in my brow deepened. "No, I will visit her at the hospital," she responded. Then you should come with me. After rising from my seat, I moved toward the door of the room, but Aaron intervened and stopped me.

"Wait a minute, Luther..."

"What?"

"She… It's possible that she won't work out well with us."

"What? What on earth prompted you to say that?"

He exhaled deeply and then looked through the window. He gave off the impression that he was extremely reluctant to reveal the truth, but in the end, he did so with contempt. "She looks a lot like Serenity. I don't want you to be influenced by her.

After dealing with the children, Luther went on to talk to the two bad guys. In addition to this, he admitted them into the pack without any further resistance, saying, "You mentioned that there were three adult rogues. Where is the one that's been left?" Luther asked in a hushed voice as they were walking away, content in the knowledge that they had been welcomed into a new pack.

Luther picked up on Aaron's anxious demeanor the moment he made eye contact with him. "Uhm, well, regarding that... She is currently being treated there for her injury. She was covered in cuts and bruises when her mother found her, and she is currently receiving medical attention from her. It was as if she had been beaten to within an inch of her life... Currently, she is working to eliminate any remnants of Wolf's bane that may still be present in her body. So maybe the time after that?"

Luther gave this some thought, but he ultimately decided to go in a different direction. Luther stood up, and Aaron watched in shock as he reached for the doorknob. He had just gotten up.

At that precise instant, Aaron reached out and grabbed his Alpha's arm to halt him.

Even Aaron sensed it and cowered for a moment as he felt the emotions of the pack's Alpha rising. Luther's expression suddenly took on a tinge of annoyance as a result of what had just happened.

Is it not in everyone's best interest to wait until she has fully recovered? Luther gave Aaron's beta a cold look as the former said some blubbering.

If what you say is true, which it appears to be, then it is imperative that we learn more about this individual. You are aware that I am unable to watch other people go through difficult circumstances without having a conversation with them about it.

The weight of Aaron's voice caused him to cower once more, and he spoke to Luther in a hushed tone, saying, "Wait, Luther," as more of that irritating emotion whirled around Luther once more. "I think she might not be a good fit for us..."

"What?" Luther said this while turning his undivided attention completely to his beta.

It's clear that she doesn't belong with the rest of us.

"How could you say so?" Luther questioned while looking at his second in command with his mouth welded shut, and his jaw welded shut.

Aaron turned his sad eyes toward the window and said, "It's because she looks exactly like Serenity." I do not want this person to have an effect on you now that you have moved on from the loss that you experienced.

Luther's rage flared up once more, and he jerked away from Aaron's grasp on his arm, muttering, "Why would I be affected by this person?" I have long since reconciled myself to the idea that Serenity will pass away. In point of fact, he did not. When Aaron said that the last criminal looked like his mate, it tore at his heart and made him ache.

After a moment, he turned and walked away, and Aaron followed closely behind him, obviously terrified of what was about to occur. They had quite a distance to walk from Luther's office to the ward, but they arrived there without any trouble.

It was obvious that Aaron had sent a mind-link message to inform them of Luther's impending arrival at the ward, and as a result, they prepared to meet their newly arrived Alpha. Jason was already present and waiting for them when they arrived.

Jason addressed him as "Alpha Luther" and bowed his head politely as he continued, "I understand that you are doing your duties." However, it would be best if you did not look at the patient that we have in front of us right now.

"You too?" Luther remarked, irritated but controlling his anger that this was a physician who had helped save people's lives. He was not at liberty to say anything demeaning to Jason about the president.

Luther said, in a tone that suggested annoyance, "My duty is my own," and then he added, "Now stand down." He then released another one of his auras, and everyone immediately moved away from him.

He made his way towards the ward where the rogue was, and Amelia was there, looking after her. The rogue's eyes were closed, she had significant bruises, and her body had suffered a great deal of damage, but one thing was certain. Amelia was looking after her.

As Luther looked at the woman lying in bed, his heart stopped beating completely. "Serenity...?" he managed to mutter through his tears.

Amelia immediately picked up on it, and Luther observed that her posture changed as soon as she heard her name being mentioned.

As he thought back on the final moments he shared with his late companion, the tears in his eyes came dangerously close to overflowing.

"Alpha Luther," Amelia whispered, her voice also laden with regret and sorrow. "I know that it hurts you to see her face on someone else's body," Amelia continued, "I know that it pains you to see her face on someone else's body." This is the nature of the mystery that is our world. There are people we recognize, but upon closer inspection, we will see that it isn't actually them. It's just another person who shares their appearance. But please, do not let her appearances cloud your judgment. She has a very tough exterior, but on the inside, she is a very sweet child. I will teach her the skills necessary to become my apprentice, and one day she will succeed me as a physician.

Luther did not utter a single word; instead, he simply stared at the patient, who was asleep in the bed, while fighting back the tears that were welling up in his eyes. Amelia continued by asking, "Has your wolf said anything to you?"

Luther remained fixated on the patient as he continued his monologue. "I have not heard from him since Serenity died," he stated in a tone devoid of emotion. "It seems he has retreated to the furthest corner of my mind and is refusing to speak with me." It was true that he had not heard the voice of his wolf in years, but at the same time, he was wondering where the hell did that woman come from. He had no idea where she had come from.

During the time that Luther was pondering the situation, something that stunned everyone in the room took place.

Luther's eyes widened at once, and even Amelia gasped and put a hand on her mouth to cover her shock. The rogue muttered, "Lui, Lui," and both of these reactions occurred simultaneously.

"WHAT?!" Aaron spoke out loud while he was approaching Luther from behind; however, Luther appeared to have heard the rogue as well. It appeared as though the rogue was having difficulty putting up a fight against something.

Luther took a step back as she whimpered, "Lui Lui, please help me," and his thoughts were filled with agony and sorrow as he fled the hospital in horror, sorrow, and anger. "Lui Lui, please help me," she pleaded with him. Only Serenity ever referred to him in that manner, and sadly, she has since passed away. Who was the woman in question?

As soon as he stepped outside of the mansion, his pent-up rage and frustration at the predicament erupted, and he immediately transformed into his wolf form.

His transformation into a wolf allowed him to escape into the nearby woods, where he howled nonstop for several hours. Hearing that symphony was like being ripped apart at the seams and made my skin crawl. Everyone who heard it was tormented by the sufferings and tribulations of the Alpha.

"Serenity, I am so sorry that you aren't able to be here with us right now. I regret not being able to spend that day with you. It was my fault; I should have rescued you. I ought to have looked more closely. I continue to run until I feel like I am going to collapse."

When he finally made it back to the woods, it had been several hours, and Amelia was waiting for him on the patio.

Luther simply nodded his head in response to the doctor's announcement that "She is fine now, Alpha." Amelia was quick to pick up on the fact that he was considering returning the girl to her group, and it was almost as if she had read it written all over his face.

"Alpha Luther, her wounds were not entirely inflicted by rogues," they said. There were indications of multiple wounds scattered all over her body, as well as traces of silver and a variety of poisons in her bloodstream. The end of a whip appears to be responsible for at least some of the lacerations that can be seen here. Do not go through with your plan to send her back if you are considering doing so. I am convinced that you will cause her demise if you continue in that manner. Amelia had a commanding presence, and she had a history of deferring to the Alpha's authority. However, the Alpha frequently sought her counsel and heeded her recommendations.

"I know. Luther admitted his defeat and said, "I intend to let her stay." "I saw"

Samantha witnessed men accompanying Serenity as she was being dragged through the forest. They were moving stealthily, and the young girl could be heard whimpering the entire time.

The kidnappers and the attackers that had taken the child yelled, "Lui Lui, help!" as the kidnapped child fought back against them.

"Shut up!" Serenity whimpered quietly as she held her cheek in pain and cried out as the blonde man growled at the helpless child before slapping her across the face.

"Gabe, it's time for us to leave. The individual with brown hair spoke in an anxious tone and said, "The Alpha is going to be here very soon."

"Why don't the two of you just keep your mouths shut?" When an angry voice that was both familiar and authoritative shouted at them, both of them stopped and somehow recognized the voice's authority. Even Samantha was able to recall that it was Beta Menard all along. Her mouth opened in shock as she realized he was involved, but he was standing apart from his two friends at the time.

While Samantha was thinking about the situation, Serenity started sobbing once more. "Lui Lui!"

"I said shut up!" Samantha passed out after receiving the second slap from Gabe, who was becoming increasingly irritated with her.

—- When Samantha opened her eyes, she was once more confronted with the realities of life. Aaron was towering over her, and he was looking down at her with a grin on his face as he watched her.

"How are you doing right now?" Aaron inquired politely, his smile appeared sincere, and even his eyes were moist with concern as he spoke.

Samantha's voice was shaking as she muttered, "A little better," despite the fact that her body was still burning severely, the pain was gradually disappearing.

The Beta exclaimed with a cheer, "Oh jeez, that's good to know," as he exhaled his relief and heaved a sigh. My mother and father, both of whom are physicians, are having a conversation with the Alpha. I'll fill in as your nurse for the time being!"

Samantha was immediately overcome with feelings of guilt, but she forced herself to laugh at his enthusiasm. "You Know, You Don't Have to Stay with Me," Aaron laughed, immediately comprehending what Samantha meant by these words "Don't have stay with me." It's not a problem. I'll get used to it in due time. His eyes sparkled with compassion as he continued, "Besides, what would Serenity say if she were here right now and I wasn't helping out a person who is in need?"

"If I were to confide in you about something, would that be alright?" As soon as Samantha said it, she was unable to shake the dream that was running through her head, and Aaron nodded in agreement.

"I have been getting dreams ever since I got here. There was a scene that took place in a pool with your sister, a boy who she referred to as Lui Lui, and you. You were all laughing and having a good time while you were swimming in the pool. Oh, and even both of your parents were there as well...

Aaron pushed himself to his feet and took a few steps back as he tried to make sense of the situation while his eyes widened in shock.

Aaron chuckled nervously as he tried to process what Samantha had just told him, but he was unable to do so, so he changed the subject as soon as he noticed two children enter the room. "Next was a dream about three men taking Serenity off in a forest somewhere," Aaron said.

"Oh, Elise and Danny want to see you!" he exclaimed. Elise flashed a broad smile at Samantha. They had grown accustomed to each other's company in the dungeons, and they always talked whenever they could. "Oh, Elise and Danny want to see you!" he exclaimed.

Samantha beamed a smile at the two of them from the comfort of her bed, and the moment she looked at them, all of her thoughts shifted away from Aaron. "We're in with the rest of them!" Elise exclaimed with glee that even Danny was grinning widely and that he appeared to have candy in his mouth.

"The Alpha bribed us with some sweets!" As Samantha beamed, Danny remarked in a smug tone.

"You all have a place to live!" As the two children cheered, Samantha said, "I'm so proud of you!"

"Yeah, and all the other children are very pleasant as well!" Danny added. Samantha giggled. They were adorable in every way.

"So all of you agree that this place is awesome?" She inquired. They both grinned and nodded their heads in agreement.
