Zera pushed me away with force, and although I shielded my face, I didn't fight back. I knew deep down that most of the blame for what happened lay with me. I just let her release her anger, tears falling down my face one after another. "I'm so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Lynch, I-I didn't ... " I sobbed, my head bowed in constant apology. As the Alpha of the Storm Pack, Sebastian needed to keep his composure. He stepped forward and gently pulled Zera back, his voice calm but firm as he said, "This is a hospital. Stop causing a scene—it's interfering with the doctors who are trying to save Ryan!" Though Zera calmed slightly at his words, her gaze still burned with fury as she looked at me. Sebastian didn't speak further, but his grim expression spoke volumes. He turned to me, his voice thick with emotion. "Ms. Nadine, right? We've heard of you. While we're not sure what exactly happened between you and my son, right now he's in the operating room, fighting for his life. As parents, this is the hardest time for us. If you have nothing more to say, please leave. My wife and I don't want you here." Hearing those words, my sobs became louder, the guilt weighing on me even more. Rosaline's POV: I rushed into the hospital, panic rising sharply in my chest. When I reached the hallway leading to the operating room, I spotted Yura immediately. I hurried over, placing a hand on her shoulder, my voice urgent. "What happened? How did Ryan end up in a car accident? What's going on?" Before she could answer, I felt a powerful, commanding presence of an Alpha. I looked up to see Zera, her face streaked with tears, and Sebastian, his expression grim and silent. I quickly lowered my head, speaking politely, "Mr. and Mrs. Lynch, I'm Ryan's superior and Yura's friend. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know." Zera glanced at me through tear-filled eyes, but quickly turned away to wipe her face. I bit my lip, feeling helpless. I had no answers—only the ability to stay by Yura's side, gently guiding her to a seat as I tried to comfort her. "It's going to be okay ... Don't worry. Ryan's strong. He'll make it through." Hours passed before the werewolf doctor emerged from the operating room. Everyone immediately moved forward, but before anyone could speak, the doctor's face tightened, his voice filled with dread. "I'm sorry, but his condition is critical. The injuries are severe, and ... it's possible he won't survive the night. Please, prepare yourselves.""What?!" Yura's eyes widened, her body swaying as if she might collapse. I rushed to catch her. Hearing that her son might not make it, Zera let out a heart-wrenching wail and crumpled into Sebastian's arms, unconscious. He immediately signalled to a nearby werewolf doctor for assistance, and after some effort, they managed to revive her. "Ryan, my son ... " Zera, now awake, couldn't process the devastating news. She turned into Sebastian's shoulder, her sobs muffled as she cried in despair. Yura watched, her own tears flowing freely. I clenched my lips, my heart heavy. Ryan was a close friend of mine too. I never imagined things would come to this. I helped Yura sit beside me as we both stared anxiously at the operating room. Soon enough, Ryan was wheeled out and transferred to the ICU. His face was ghostly pale, with an oxygen mask strapped to his face. Yura started to move toward him, but Zera stopped her with a sharp command. The Alpha and Luna of Storm Pack had no intention of allowing the woman they blamed for their son's accident to come near him. With red, swollen eyes, Yura collapsed against my shoulder, trembling with grief. I could feel her pain deeply, and I held her tightly, offering whatever comfort I could. I understood her inner turmoil—she couldn't bear leaving Ryan's side but didn't know what to do. I gently patted Yura's back, trying to calm her. "Don't be so upset ... I'll go check on him soon. His parents need some time to come to terms with this ... " Yura, fragile as a leaf, clung to me, her sobs wracking her body. "Rosaline, I ... I never meant for this to happen ... I couldn't handle it, the baby coming so unexpectedly. I didn't know what to do. If ... if Ryan doesn't wake up, then I-I ... " "He will, he will! You have to believe that he's strong, and he'll be fine ... " I kept reassuring her, gently patting her back. At that moment, I remembered the witch's stone. I quickly called Hughie and then led Yura to Ryan's room. Saying I was Hughie's apprentice, I convinced Ryan's parents to step out for a moment. Taking the witch's stone from my pocket, I placed it on Ryan's chest, holding onto a fragile thread of hope as I began chanting the healing incantation. I wasn't certain it would work. After all, Hughie had warned me that with Ryan's severe injuries, he couldn't guarantee the stone would have any effect. By the grace of the Moon Goddess, half an hour later, Ryan, who had remained unconscious for so long, finally showed signs of life.
