Gwyn’s father had come to visit his daughter while she was on duty when the ward assistant came running. breathless and panicked, pleading for help. He hadn’t come alone. At his side was Yorik–once a dying patient under Lylah’s care, now standing strong.
The moment Yorik saw Lylah, he dropped into a bow without hesitation, reverence clear in both posture and scent. “My lady p>
“Lylah, are you alright?!” Gwyn rushed forward as Lylah pushed herself to stand. Her hands hovered, torn between panic and relief. “Are you hurt? You need to be treated immediately p>
“No need, Gwyn,” Lylah said softly, steady despite the faint rasp in her voice. “He choked me, but that’s all p>
Her
gaze shifted to the man standing behind Gwyn. “Thank you for stepping in, sir. I owe you my life p>
The man stepped forward.
“Call me Gerald,” he said. “I’m a warrior of the Whitepine Pack and Gwyn’s father.” Then his voice lowered, touched by something almost reverent. “By Selene’s grace… forgive my boldness, but– are you, by any chance… related to Lady Vala Stillward p>
The question struck like a blow.
Lylah stilled. “Why do you ask p>
Gerald exhaled slowly, as if steadying himself against something unseen.
“Lady Vala was my mentor,” he said, his voice quieter now, threaded with memory. “The one who trained me… before she passed.” His gaze sharpened again, searching her face. “But when I look at you–your eyes, your presence… it feels as though she’s standing before me once more p>
A beat passed.
“You resemble her too much for it to be a coincidence,” Gerald continued. “There is blood between you p>

At the center of it all, Lylah drew in a slow breath.
There was no escaping it now.
“She was… my mother,” Lylah said quietly. “Lady Vala Stillward.” Her voice steadied as she continued. “And Jax Stillward was my father. I carry their blood p>
The truth settled over the room like a shockwave.
Gerald’s breath left him.
“By Selene’s grace….” His hand pressed against his chest as he bowed his head deeply before her–a gesture of both respect and awe. When he looked up again, his eyes burned with something fierce and emotional. “You are the one we have been searching for all these years. Lady Vala’s true daughter. The heir to their legacy–the wolf who carries their bloodline p>
Gwyn stared at Lylah, stunned. “How were you separated from them for so long? Lylah, that must have been unbearable p>
“Switched at birth,” Lylah’s expression dimmed.
But she wasn’t finished. Her next words made everyone gasp.
“I learned it and I kept it hidden. Because Alpha Eldric and Luna Daia of Ironcrest Pack would never allow that truth to rise. They would have buried it along with anyone who dared to speak it p>
