Poisoned Pursuit

Vessa races against spreading illness to brew a complex antidote in the healing chamber, her silver power and the fresh life bond with Rhydian draining them both as she treats the pack, while Rhydian relentlessly tracks Soren through the cursed wilds fueled by alpha rage and vivid explicit memories of their ritual passion. Parallel desperation builds until Rhydian corners the traitor, only for Soren to reveal one final devastating secret about the night of Vessa's banishment that threatens to shatter their renewed bond forever.
