Chapter 6 After everyone left , she called for her closest pack ally : I need to arrange my legacy .

Her trusted packmate Lyra and the Pack Law Keeper arrived together .

Seeing Ravenna lying pale and weakened on the healing dens bed , her wolf spirit barely flickering beneath her skin , Lyras eyes filled with tears of rage .

Those bastards ! Theyre monsters , treating you like this ! Ill challenge them before the Pack Council ! Ravenna held her back .

During her years of trying to win Valdrins favor , shed met few true allies , but Lyra had been different .

Lyra had always stood firmly by her side , the first to bare teeth in Ravennas defense no matter what storms came .

Without her , Ravenna might not have survived this long .

Lyra was also the only one besides Valdrin who knew about her Moon Goddess Trial .

Now , Ravenna revealed everything her plans to seek a new Trial target after her death .

So youll finally be free of that heartless Alpha ? Lyras eyes blazed .

Ravenna nodded .

5 Lyra leapt up , joy in her movement .

Finally ! The Moon Goddess shows mercy ! You should have left that cursed wolf long ago .

Let him suffer ! Ravenna smiled at her friends fury , then turned to the Law Keeper .

I want to transfer all my pack shares and territory rights to my pack sister Lyra .

My personal wealth should go to supporting lone wolf pups in the outer territories .

The Law Keeper nodded , unsurprised , but asked formally : And your blood family ? The Broken Laina Ladesired Goodbye to My Alphas Soven Year Deception They get nothing.

Tyras eyes gleamed with tears.

Ill just guard it until you return in your new form .

You must come back to us .

Ravenna nodded , reaching to wipe her friends tears .

From the doorway , Valdrins voice cut through the air : Return from where ? His eyes held dangerous suspicion .

Tavenna quickly explained : I told Lyra Im planning to visit the Northern Territories when I recover .

Shes asking me to bring back ice crystals for her .

Valdrin watched her for a long moment before his expression smoothed , though doubt lingered in his gaze .

The healers are waiting for your strength assessment .

Ravenna exhaled in relief .

Valdrin guided Ravenna through the ancient stone corridors of the healing den , his Alpha .

presence clearing their path .

His touch on her elbow spoke of possession rather than tenderness .

Ravenna knew the truth behind this visit to the Pack Healer they needed to ensure her wolf heart was strong enough for the sacred sacrifice .

Leaving the chamber , she encountered Winter .

Winter sat in a wheeled chair , her form delicate beneath the thin healing robes .

Her silver hair fell loose around her shoulders , possessing an ethereal , sickly beauty .

Just sitting there .

she evoked every wolfs protective instincts .

Sisters soft voice broke the silence .

Alpha Valdrin says theyve found a heart donor for me .

rent you happy for me ? Ravenna met those dark eyes , so bright , so seemingly innocent .

Yet beneath lay such deep malice .

Did she truly not know ? Yes , Ravenna smiled , with a touch of genuine feeling .

I am happy .

When Ravenna didnt react as expected , Winters satisfaction dimmed .

She casually lifted her hand to brush back her hair , Thats wonderful .

Youve always been so suspicious of me .

I worried you might try to prevent my healing ritual .

Around Winters finger coiled a silver moonstone band an ancient symbol of mate bonds .

The same stone that marked Valdrin as Alpha mate gleamed at its center , its blue light pulsing in perfect rhythm with the one on his hand .

Ravennas eyes caught the telltale glow , and Winters fingers instinctively moved to conceal it .

But it was too late .

Its not what you think , sister , Winters voice turned honey sweet , dripping with false innocence .

Alpha Valdrin merely gifted it to welcome me home to the pack.

A gesture of ….

kindness .

She twisted the band nervously .

The swelling from my weakened state forces me to wear it on this finger .

You know the old ways a true mate bond ring would burn any finger but the marked one .

Her last words came out as a whisper , Dont look at me that way , sister .

Please .
