Chapter 242
Almost immediately, a soft golden light emanated from where her skin touched mine. It wasn’t just visual – I could feel it, a warmth that contrasted sharply with the icy burn of the silver. The light seemed to seep into my veins, following the path of the silver poison and neutralizing it wherever they met.
The sensation was extraordinary
like liquid sunshine flowing through my body, driving out the cold poison that had been spreading through my system. The dark lines in my veins began to recede, and the pain diminished significantly as the golden energy from our bond counteracted the silver’s effects.
Rebecca’s eyes never left mine during the process, her gaze intense and focused. I could feel her pouring her strength into me, our connection deepening with each passing second. It was as if we were breathing as one person, our hearts beating in perfect synchrony.
“How did you do that?” I asked, genuinely impressed as I watched the poison’s effects fade before my eyes.
She looked slightly surprised herself. “I’m not sure. I just… knew I could help. I focused on our connection and pictured my energy healing yours.” She looked up at me, a hint of wonder in her eyes. “Our bond seems stronger now, especially since Lucas was born. I can feel you more clearly, sense what you need.”
I flexed my arm, testing it. The pain had receded to a dull ache, and the dark lines had faded to barely visible traces. “Your healing touch is better than any medicine,” I told her with a smile. “Thank you, little doe.”
Her eyes softened at the nickname, but quickly grew serious again. “We need to go to the warehouse. I want to know who’s behind this
attack.”
I nodded, appreciating her determination. “It could be dangerous. These people tried to kill us.”
“All the more reason for us to go together,” she replied firmly, her hand finding mine and squeezing it with reassurance. “I want to look in the eyes of anyone who would threaten our family.”
The way she said “our family” filled me with a fierce pride. There was no hesitation in her voice, no uncertainty. She had fully embraced her role as my mate, as Luna, as mother to our son, and now she stood ready to face whatever threats came our way.
I took her hand, leading her toward her car, which had sustained damage but was still operational. “You know,” I said as I opened the door for her, “you’re the bravest Luna I’ve ever known.”
She smiled, her eyes flashing gold momentarily. “I’m just protecting what’s mine.”
As I slid into the driver’s seat, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride in my mate. The woman who had once been uncertain of her place in our world was now fearlessly standing beside me, ready to face our enemies. Through our bond, I could feel her determination, her fierce protectiveness of our family.
“This time,” I said, starting the engine and pulling away from the scene of our near–disaster, “we’ll find out who’s really behind all this. No more shadows, no more guessing.”
Rebecca nodded, her jaw set with determination. “Whoever it is, they’ll learn what happens when they target our family.”
Looking at her profile in the dim light, I was struck by how much she had changed – and how much she had changed me. Whatever enemies we faced, we would face them together, our bond stronger than any threat that came our way.

Let’s go see who tried to kill us,” I said, directing the cat toward the East District warehouse where our enemies swal
