Chapter 7

It wasn't until several hours after my arrival at the Werewolf Committee palace that Owen suddenly remembered me.

He was still in the pack doctor's cottage when he abruptly woke from his slumber, clutching his chest. He then softly uttered my name. "Aleli?"

"What's going on?" Amber asked, rising from the bed next to him.

Owen shook his head, appearing perplexed as he turned to face Amber. "I'm not feeling well. It's as if I've been struck by a large vehicle."

"We were just attacked by rogues at the nightclub, that's why," Amber explained, attempting to guide Owen back to bed, encouraging him to rest. "Let's sleep a bit more."

However, Owen declined, slowly getting to his feet and saying, "I need to go home for a while to check on Aleli. She was injured too, after all."
