Chapter 5

For the next few days, Carlin seemed to keep his word. He purposely avoided all contact with Allison, even when the pack invited a healer over each month to check on the pup.

"Carlin, Uriel's gone, and Allison is carrying his pup. You should be taking care of her on Uriel's behalf," Maria painstakingly scolded.

Carlin took the hint and put on a show with Maria.

"So what? Jo got pissed when I had to console Allison the other night. She doesn't like me paying attention to any other she-wolf besides her, even if it's Uriel's widow and her own older sister."

In just a few sentences, he cast all the blame onto Johanna.

Just then, the healer came out after having checked on Allison and the pup. She said, "Both the mother and the pup are doing well, but the mother seems to be in poor spirits. I suggest you all spend more time talking to her to keep her in a good mood."

"Well? Why are you still standing there? Since you don't want Carlin to do it, you can do it yourself," Maria said to Johanna. "No other she-wolf in the Silverplume pack is as jealous and possessive as you are. You don't even trust your own mate and sister."

Johanna had no choice but to enter Allison's room. However, the moment she approached the bed, a seemingly weak Allison abruptly reached out and grabbed her wrist tightly.

Her instinctive reaction was to try and break free, but that was exactly what Allison wanted. She allowed herself to fall out of the bed just as Johanna pulled back before wailing, "My pup! My pup!"

Her cries drew in everyone who had gathered outside, including Carlin, Maria, and other core members of the pack.

Carlin was the quickest to react. He shot over to Allison and held her tightly. His voice trembled with concern as he said, "Allie! I'm here. Don't be afraid. I won't let anything happen to you or the pup."

"I'm scared, Carl! Save the pup! I can't lose him!"

Their display stirred up mixed emotions in Johanna. It still affected her, after all. It made her sad to see the truth blatantly presented before her.

However, before she could compose herself, one of the members of the Silverplume pack shouted in anger, "It was Johanna's doing! She wants to destroy our pureblood lineage and ruin us all by killing the pup!"
