Menu “I was planning to send someone else, but something told me I needed to come get you myself.”

I stood there silently, looking at my brother. His protective nature touched me – I understood his concerns completely.

“Where’s the cure?” I asked.

He raised an eyebrow. “You want me to hand it over right here?”

Noticing the curious onlookers, I grabbed his hand and led him inside the hotel. “No way. You never know who might try to mess with it and turn it into poison. I’ve got plenty of enemies here.”

He laughed at my paranoia. I couldn’t help but smile – Magnus and I had an incredible bond. He wasn’t just my brother; he was my protector.

If he hadn’t found me in those woods five years ago, I wouldn’t be alive. If he hadn’t shielded me, this pack would’ve made me their personal joke.

We headed to the reception desk where Magnus got his own room, but first, we stopped by mine.

“Mom’s really worried about you, Selene,” Magnus said, settling onto the couch.

I poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.

“I know. We talk every day.”

“You’re leaving tomorrow, right?” he asked, holding the glass.

I nodded. “Yeah.”

“When?”

“Tomorrow night.”

“Good.”

“Let’s go back together, Magnus,” I suggested from my spot on the bed.

He shook his head. “Can’t. Got some business to handle.”

My throat tightened. “Magnus, please don’t start anything with anyone.”

He finished his water and set the glass on the side table.

“Relax. I’m not here to confront that loser. It’s strictly business.”

I stood up. “If you say so. I’ll head back with my driver then.”

“Good plan. Here’s your cure.”

He pulled out a small transparent bottle filled with red liquid from his pocket. I took it carefully, studying the tiny container. Despite its size, the cure inside was powerful enough to heal Garrett’s inner wolf.

“Thanks, Magnus.”

“Anytime. Get some rest. See you tomorrow.”

I walked him to the door. Seeing him so calm and understanding made me feel relieved. This version 12:12 58.0%

= Menu of my brother – collected and supportive – meant everything to me.

The next day, Nathan bombarded me with calls, checking if I had the cure. I assured him everything was fine.

When I got to the hospital and couldn’t reach Nathan, I called Diana instead. She told me Garrett had been moved to an operating room – the cure would only work on his wolf form.

I rushed to the location she gave me. Diana was waiting outside, along with Kane and his officials. The guards stood at a distance.

“Selene,” Diana whispered when she saw me.

“How’s Garrett?” I asked, approaching her.

“He’s inside. The doctors are preparing his body for the cure. Did you get it?”

The desperation in her voice was clear – she was terrified for her husband.

I reached into my bag and pulled out the cure. Everyone stared at the glowing red liquid as it caught the fluorescent hospital lights.

“Where did you get that?” Kane demanded.

Ignoring him, I turned to Diana. “Garrett will pull through. Don’t worry.”

Just then, Nathan emerged from the operating room in full medical gear – white coat, mask, and gloves.

His eyes lit up when he saw me. “You got the cure?”

“Right here,” I said, handing him the bottle.

As Nathan took it, Kane spoke up. “How do we know it’s the real cure?”

I turned to him, frowning. After a whole week, he chooses now to question this? Did he seriously think I came all this way to harm his father?

Nathan’s voice was steady and professional. “We’ll test it first. Results take an hour. Then we’ll begin the procedure.”
