I simply pushed the consent form in front of her: "Think it over carefully and make a decision as soon as possible. Time is of the essence. After treating your injuries, I need to rush back to complete the bond-forming ceremony..."
My words were interrupted by a man's voice suddenly sounding behind me:
"Bond-forming? Who are you going to form a partnership with?"
"We only broke our blood pact three months ago, and you're already forming a new alliance?!"
Fenris Langford, accompanied by four enforcers dressed in black, sealed off the entrance to the treatment room.
His meticulously tailored dark robe accentuated his tall and slender figure, and the Alpha aura emanating from him was almost suffocating.
"Selene, I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"
"What? Only three months after the blood pact was broken, you already don't recognize your former partner?"
His gaze swept past me, and before I could respond, his expression instantly changed when he saw Raven on the treatment table.
Raven was connected to an oxygen tube, her face ashen.
Fenris's eyes immediately showed heartache, but the chill in his voice pierced me directly. "Selene, what did you do to her?"
"She was perfectly fine when she left the territory this morning! What have you been up to behind my back?!"
Raven weakly raised her hand, reaching towards Fenris: "Brother Zhou! She wants my life!"
Her voice was hoarse and broken, "She was churning inside me with a healing scalpel! She even said, 'If I cut you like this, you'll never be able to bear children again!' I kept begging her, but she made me suffer unbearably..."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly coughed violently, her chest heaving, and the monitoring equipment emitted a piercing alarm.
She gasped for breath, screaming with all her might, "So you're Zhou-gege's ex-partner!"
"Zhou-gege, she's just jealous! Jealous that I can bear your child, jealous that I'm about to become the official mistress of the Langford territory!"
I tossed the blood-stained gauze into the medical waste bin, then slowly waved the medical record in front of Fenris. "Chief Langford, her abscess ruptured, causing a blood infection. If your prospective partner had arrived forty minutes later, she'd be lying in the morgue by now."
Before Fenris could even take the record, Raven preemptively... "Brother Zhou, she's talking nonsense! She's deliberately framing me!"
"Because she knows you broke your blood pact with her for my sake, so she wants to use her position as a healer to get revenge on me."
Raven forcefully pulled the IV needle from the back of her hand. "Brother Zhou, look! She deliberately misplaced the needle, and now I'm covered in bruises, even my neck!"
"She even threatened me! She said she'd spread my medical records throughout the Howling Network, letting all the werewolves know that Brother Zhou married a woman inferior to her!"
I turned to look at Raven.
Her body was indeed covered in bruises.
But these marks were already there when she was brought into the treatment room.
Clearly, they were marks left from lovemaking.
Fenris pulled her into his arms, stomping on the medical records on the ground. "Selene, you used the old patriarch's life-saving herb to blackmail me into a blood pact back then, and when you failed, you tried to destroy Yingying now?"
He sneered, "The Evergreen Territory Healing Center? You think you're worthy to work here?"
"It seems I was too lenient with you when we broke the blood pact, allowing you to dare lay a hand on my woman now."
"Selene, perhaps you haven't tasted the consequences of angering me, Fenris Langford."
As he finished speaking, two enforcers swiftly stepped forward and immediately twisted my arms behind my back.
I was forced to kneel before Fenris and Raven.
I looked up at him, my voice mocking, "Fenris, aren't you curious why she'd rather die than accept treatment?"
The enforcers tightened the restraints on my wrists, the leather digging deep into my flesh, a stinging pain spreading throughout my body.
I lost a lot of blood during my difficult childbirth and am still breastfeeding. My body has not recovered at all, and the forced bending over made my abdominal pain start to intensify.
