Chapter 38. Sorcery and Secrets
After Bernard was rushed to the hospital along with other wounded members of the pack, some began to show signs of healing.
However, the most alarming part was that Bernard, the Alpha and the strongest among them, was not healing. Instead, he was bleeding heavily, and his condition only worsened.
"What’s happening to me?" Bernard asked Maria, his voice laced with agony and fear.
Maria stood silently beside his bed, unable to answer. She was just as confused and scared. Why wasn’t he healing? It didn’t make sense.
Everyone in the pack had the same questions. Who was this mysterious Shadow that attacked them? Why had he been striking repeatedly for the past three years?
And who were those unknown figures dressed in white who appeared just in time to protect them?
Bernard’s pain became unbearable to watch. His parents, especially Victoria, were on the verge of breaking down. She paced the room, her face filled with distress, while Bernard’s father, Beta Gilbert, grew more resolute.
"We need to move him to the werewolf treatment facility. Something isn’t right. We have to know what was used against him," Beta Gilbert finally said.
Without wasting time, he summoned several of his trusted men to help carry Bernard out. Just as they were about to leave the hospital, the doctor appeared, his tone stern and questioning.
"Where are you taking him? You can’t just remove a patient like this. It’s against the hospital protocol," the doctor argued.
"Doctor, please," Beta Gilbert replied calmly but firmly. "My son isn’t getting any better here. I can’t risk losing him. We’re taking him somewhere he can be properly treated."
