Melany answered calmly, “I just wanted to help cure the pain of the people. The town has gotten very sick under Adam’s management. People like me need to step up. If we stand by and do nothing, the town might be destroyed one day.”
It seemed that she had already guessed what Adam was planning.
“Do you think the town can be saved?” I asked softly.
Melany smiled at me. “The best we can do is to not give up. I just hope that Gale’s people can save this poor town. If you need help, I’ll be there.”
I felt that there was a gentle but strong power within Melany, which inexplicably enveloped me in a feeling of ease. I felt safe when I was around her.
“We’ll save the town,” I said to her resolutely.
Then Melany took me to see Emily.
From a distance, I could see that Emily had turned into her wolf form. She was sitting on the open grass, staring blankly at the sky, deep in thought about something.
“why is Emily in her wolf form?” I asked Melany.
“I told her to use her wolf form more often because it’ll reduce her pain and speed up her recovery,” Melany explained.
“Has she been a wolf this whole time you’ve been treating her?”
“Yes. She hasn’t been marked by her mate yet. It’s very dangerous to give birth to a baby without a mark. The best I can do is aid in her recuperation so that we can minimize the risks involved.”
I nodded and sighed heavily.

I felt for Emily, because I had been in her shoes before.
“Melany, can I talk to her?”
“Okay, as Long as you don’t mention something that’ll trigger her.” After that, Melany excused herself and left, leaving space for us to talk.
I walked to Emily. She seemed to hear me coming because her ears pricked up and she looked over at me immediately.
She seemed to have recognized me. Her eyes lit up excitedly and she shouted, “Debra, you finally visited!”
We then sat down on the grass together. After a bit of small talk, I turned my head and asked her, “Emily, do you know if there’s a secret chamber in Adam’s study?”
Emily shook her head.
I thought she meant that she didn’t know about it, but then she said, “The kid…”
“What kid?” I asked.
