Once her immediate thirst was quenched, she managed to croak out a question, her voice hoarse and strained. “What… happened? Where am I?”

The nurse regarded her with a mixture of curiosity, pity and sympathy, pausing for a moment before delivering her response. “You’re at St. James’s Hospital in Augusta, Maine,” she began, her tone gentle yet firm. “You were found nearly drowned in a river by a group of campers. They spotted you floating in the water, so they saved you and called emergency services. They brought you here for treatment.”

Elora’s heart pounded in her chest as she absorbed the nurse’s words, her mind swirling with

disbelief and confusion. How did she survive? She knew that is impossible to survive as an ome

considering what she experienced.

“What is your name, sweetie?”

The nurse’s gentle inquiry about her name brought a moment of hesitation from Elora, her mind

feeling foggy and disconnected. Finally, she managed to murmur, “Lora.”

“Nice to meet you, Lora. I am Marry. Is there anyone we can contact for you, as I can bet that your

family must be worried sick about your disappearance.”

Elora’s heart clenched with a wave of emotion, tears welling up in her eyes as she shook her head

slowly.

“I… I… don’t have anyone. I’m… I’m an orphan,” she admitted in a small, tremulous voice, the weight

of her words heavy in the air.

The nurse’s expression softened further, sympathy evident in her gaze as she reached out to

gently pat Elora’s hand. “Oh, sweetie,” she murmured, her tone full of compassion.

Before Elora could dwell further on her own sorrow, the nurse gave her a gentle warning that the

police would likely want to speak with her now that she was awake. Advising her to rest, she

offered a reassuring smile before quietly leaving the room, leaving Elora drifting back to sleep.

The next day, as Elora lay in her hospital bed, two stern-faced police officers entered her room.

They asked her a barrage of questions, probing for information about her identity and how she

ended up in the river. Elora’s heart raced with anxiety as she maintained her fabricated story,

insisting that she was an orphan and a drifter, and that she fell in the water by mistake, offering no

further details.

The officers exchanged skeptical glances, their suspicion palpable in the air, but eventually, they

concluded their questioning. Before leaving, one of them warned her, “You’re lucky to be alive. You

were in a coma for over two months.”

Elora’s breath caught in her throat at their words, shock and disbelief washing over her. Two months? How was that even possible? She struggled to comprehend the enormity of the situation,

the weight of her lost time pressing down on her.

After they left, she lay there in stunned silence, the reality of her circumstances sinking in deeper with each passing moment. With trembling hands, she reached out once more to connect with her

wolf, but once again, she was met with nothing but emptiness.

The familiar figure of Nurse Mary returned to her side, offering a small glimmer of comfort in the midst of her turmoil. “The good news is, you’ll be discharged tomorrow,” Mary announced.

Elora’s heart plummeted at the thought of leaving the safety of the hospital, her mind racing with

panic as she realized she had nowhere to go, no one to turn to.

“I know you must be frightened, especially as a rogue.”

As Nurse Mary closed the door behind her, Elora felt a surge of panic rising within her. She looked at the nurse with wide eyes, her heart hammering in her chest as she struggled to comprehend what was happening. How did Nurse Mary know about the existence of werewolves and rogues?! The existence of the werewolves was a well-guarded secret, so she looked at her in shock.

Sensing Elora’s distress, Nurse Mary offered her a reassuring smile. “Relax, dear. I mean you no harm,” she said gently, her voice filled with understanding. “Not to someone who’s already so weak, especially without a wolf.”

Elora’s mind raced with questions, “What do you mean, no wolf?”. Nurse Mary continued, her

expression sympathetic. “I understand your confusion,” she said softly. “When you arrived here, I

could feel your wolf’s presence. But now… it’s gone.”

Elora’s breath caught in her throat, her eyes widening in shock. “Gone?” she echoed, her voice

barely above a whisper.

Nurse Mary nodded solemnly. “Yes, dear. It seems that your wolf sacrificed herself to keep your

human side alive,” she explained, her tone filled with compassion.

Tears welled up in Elora’s eyes as the weight of Nurse Mary’s words settled upon her. She had lost

her wolf, her constant companion and protector. Lina’s last words became clear to her now, and the realization filled her with anguish and pain.

Unable to contain her emotions any longer, Elora buried her face in her hands, tears streaming down her cheeks as she mourned the loss of her loyal companion. The room fell silent except for the sound of her muffled sobs, her heart shattered into a million pieces at the devastating

revelation.

After some time, Elora gathered the courage to look up at Nurse Mary, her eyes filled with

uncertainty. “Are you… are you a rogue too?” she asked hesitantly.

Nurse Mary shook her head gently. “No, dear. I used to belong to a pack,” she began, her voice tinged with sorrow. “But after I lost my mate and son in a rogue attack, I couldn’t bear to stay.

Everything reminded me of them, so I chose to live in the human world like a lone wolf I could

return at any time, but it is just too painful.”

Elora listened intently, her heart heavy with empathy for the nurse’s pain. After a brief pause, Nurse

Mary turned to her, her gaze searching. “Tell me the truth, Lora,” she said softly. “Despite smelling

like a rogue, I know one when I see it. And you… you are not that. What is really your story?”

Elora’s emotions threatened to overwhelm her as she struggled to find the words. Finally, she

broke down, tears streaming down her cheeks as she poured out her story to Nurse Mary. She

recounted the disappointment of her family, the betrayal of her sister, the rogues in the forest, the

alpha who saved her and their time together, her family reaction, her banishing, and the agony of losing her wolf.

As she finished speaking, Elora looked up at Nurse Mary, her heart laid bare. The nurse’s eyes glistened with tears as she listened, her expression filled with anger, compassion and understanding. “Oh, my sweet child,” she murmured, her voice trembling with emotion.

Without hesitation, Nurse Mary gathered Elora into her arms, holding her tightly in a comforting

embrace.
