Harper didn't allow Taya to refuse. Thanks to her wolf's added strength, Harper was easily able to carry the small woman, get her into the car, and drive to the hospital.

As soon as Harper carried Taya into the emergency room, staff rushed over.

"She's not a shifter," Harper hurried to tell them.

Harper knew that Taya had congenital heart disease, and if the hospital assumed she was a shifter, they wouldn't give her the proper treatment. It was easy for her to run short of oxygen if she caught a cold or fever, and her body wouldn't work to heal itself the way a wolf shifter's would.

Taya was quickly settled into a room, given an IV and oxygen, and monitors were set up to keep an eye on her.

It wasn't until midnight that Taya's high fever slowly subsided.

Harper sighed in relief, picked up her phone, and took two days off. Then she leaned against the bed and silently waited for Taya to wake.

It suddenly rained heavily from the night sky, washing the youth's blood-stained face clean.

Only then did I see his face. I rushed forward and shouted,

"Silas!"

The scene changed, and the young man disappeared. I saw

myself kneeling at the door of a nightclub.

A man with a black umbrella walked up to me and asked condescendingly, "Are you clean?"

The man in front of me also turned into that ferocious young boy. His eyes were red with the ire of his wolf. He grabbed my neck, squeezing, and roared at me. "Taya! Why did you sell yourself to him? Why did you betray me? Why did you do this?!"
