Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 406 Tough Rescue Wendy's POV: When Gaden stepped into the hospital room, I lay weakly in bed, my thoughts drowning in him.

4. 100%l +8 Pearls I heard the door creak open, and my gaze snapped up. There he was, tall and lean, standing in the doorway like a figure carved from stone.

A rush of joy surged through me.

Ignoring the pain, I pushed myself upright. "Caden, you finally cto see me!" His eyes dropped to my wrist, and he sighed deeply.

He handedthe fire lilies, his voice sharp and cold. "Don't do anything foolish again." A wave of warmth flooded me. He still cared.

"Caden, thank you! How did you know fire lilies are my favorite?" I asked, gazing at him, my heart swelling.

"Rest up," Caden replied, his tone flat. “I have things to take care of." Without another word, he turned and walked out, his back retreating into the hall.

As I watched him go, the warmth in my chest quickly turned to ice.

Caden, I won't give up on you that easily.

Rosaline's POV: Yerkshire, Harford Mountain area.

The helicopter descended slowly. After a long, grueling journey, Yura, the team, and I finally arrived in the Harford Mountain area.

Even though I had steeled myself for this moment, the sight that greeted us still took my breath away.

At the base of the mountain, the village lay in ruins. The roads were clogged with broken wood and shattered buildings. Most of the homes were reduced to rubble. Boulders had fallen from th iff's above, and the ground was littered with the twisted bodies of livestock and werewolves alike.

The devastation was beyond anything I had imagined. Yura staggered, her body swaying, barely able to stay upright.

I rushed to steady her. "Yura, don't be scared." Yura drew a deep breath, her shoulders trembling slightly as she nodded in silent agreement.

"This should be the place," I muttered, my voice a whisper as I checked the compass.

The Harford Mountain area stretched out before us, vast and unforgiving. I had already asked Anthony to pinpoint Timothy's likely location.

Yura, exhausted but resolute, kept moving forward beside me.

Behind us, the werewolf bodyguards kept pace silently. Alongside them, the elite rescue team I had personally brought in from the city trailed.

+8 Pearls The earthquake in the Harford Mountain area had hit with unrelenting force. It was one of the most severe tremors in recent memory. Now that we had finally arrived, the devastation was far worse than I had expected. "Timothy, where are you?" Yura murmured, her voice breaking. "He can't be hurt... not now." "Yura, we'll find him. We will," I said, trying to ease her fears.

I understood the urgency. The first shock had passed, but we had no idea when the aftershocks might hit. Every second that ticked by could cost more lives.

We had to find Timothy.

I was about to take another step when I noticed Yura hadn't moved. She stood there, staring blankly ahead.

I grabbed her arm, gently pulling her forward. "Con, let's go. According to the map, there's a werewolf village up ahead. Timothy could be there. We need to check." Yura snapped out of her daze and quickly followed me.

The village wasn't far, but the path had been grueling.

"Rosie, Yu, wait up!" Ryan called, finally breaking free from his shock.

We reached the village's edge, and my heart sank.

Most of the buildings at the entrance had collapsed. Sstill smoldered, releasing thick black smoke. It looked like the sky itself had fallen. The ground was a mess of broken stones and debris, with no sign of life.

On the way here, we had passed several elderly villagers and children, all injured by the quake. The rescue team had been working tirelessly to treat them, and thankfully, we had enough medical supplies and bandages.

"Timothy! Timothy!" Yura cried, her voice full of desperation. She couldn't focus on anythi him.

She couldn't focus on anything but finding him.

Seeing the destruction around her, she began to search frantically, calling for any sign of life. ut finding

My own chest tightened. A few of the werewolf bodyguards who had accompanied us were already m e helping the villagers, while the werewolf doctors from the rescue team spread out, attending to the wounded. "Please, help those children over there. They're seriously hurt," I called out to one of the doctors.

Yura was still searching, but it seemed hopeless. My anxiety grew, but I couldn't ignore the others in need. I quickly spoke to another doctor.

A wave of relief washed over me, but it was brief. I quickly moved to Yura's side.

"Rosaline," she asked, her voice barely a whisper, "Where could he be? What if Timothye. Her voice faltered, and fresh tears began to spill down her cheeks.

I placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to steady her. "Aftershocks are still a threat, They're searching for anyone trapped under the rubble. We can't panic." "How can I not panic?" Yura's voice quivered with grief. "What if Timothy's..." I sighed, deeply.

The truth was, no one could promise we'd find Timothy.

Even if we did, there was no guarantee we'd get to him in time. After all, Anthony's tracking range was vast.
