Elder Ella ! Elder Ella from the Holy Mountain is coming to oversee the surgery herself ?! Fear wrapped around my heart like a cold , venomous snake . My Lycan Spirit let out a shrill , desperate wail inside me . No ! I can't let Elder Ella come ! " No ! I don't want surgery ! I don't want a heart transplant ! " I screamed , losing control . I suddenly sat up in bed , trying to climb out and run , uncaring of anything else . That movement completely exposed me - I wasn't nearly as weak as I'd been pretending to be . " Liana , calm down ! " Kirby tried to soothe me , but I saw it - doubt flickering in his eyes . The physician and a few Beta guards rushed over to restrain me . " Let go of me ! I want to go home ! I don't want to stay here ! " I thrashed wildly , tears streaming down my face , blending real terror with my well - practiced helplessness . " What are you all waiting for ? " That bitch Leslie's cold voice cut through the chaos . " Sedate her . Once Elder Ella comes up , begin the surgery immediately ." Sedative ? Surgery ? No ! I completely snapped . Taking advantage of a moment of distraction , I broke free and dove behind Kirby , clinging to his arm and sobbing . " Kirby , please ... no surgery ... I'm begging you ... " " Oh ? Liana , you can stand and walk now ? " Leslie's mocking voice came from across the room , filled with open scorn . I froze . It was over ... Kirby's POV ( Crimson Moon Pack Hospital ) Liana suddenly erupted with a strength that didn't match her frail exterior . She escaped the guards and clung to me in tears .... That scene - combined with Leslie's pointed , mocking words -lit the fuse on all my buried doubts . Lance growled low in my mind . She's acting , Kirby ! This Omega has been lying to you ! I whipped around and fixed a sharp gaze on the Pack physician . My Alpha aura surged at full intensity . 1/2 13:03 Mon , Sep 15 The Beta doctor trembled under my pressure , eyes darting to Liana in panic . But she kept her head down , sobbing , unable to look at anyone . " Speak ! " I roared , my voice leaving no room for refusal . The doctor finally collapsed to his knees with a loud thud , shaking as he confessed everything . " I - It was Miss Liana's idea ... She said her Lycan Spirit was just unstable , b - but she convinced me that a heart transplant was the only way to fully heal ... She said you'd support it ... Alpha sir , please - it wasn't my idea - I had no choice ... " Deceit . It really was all a lie . Rage shot to the top of my head as I turned to look at Liana , still trembling behind me . " Liana ! " I grabbed her arm and forced her to look at me . My voice was icy , sharp as a blade . " Is it true ? Why did you fake being sick ?! " She slowly looked up , her face streaked with tears , her eyes avoiding mine . " I ... I just wanted to spend more time with you ... You're always so busy ... And after Jake died , I've been ... so scared ... " She said his name - her brother , the loyal warrior who died saving me . The moment Jake was mentioned , it was like someone poured cold water over the fire in my chest . My fury cooled almost instantly . Even Lance fell silent , only letting out a quiet , displeased growl . The guilt I carried for Jake , and the promise I made to look after her ... kept me from exploding at her now . I let go of her arm and took a deep breath , forcing myself to swallow the storm of emotions roiling inside me . Send Gifts Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
