I didn’t notify Anthony, and of course, I couldn’t reach him—he had blocked our mind link long ago. 

He spent day and night by Lucas’s side, comforting Lucas’s mother, Ivy, as if they were the real family. 

I left the pack alone with Andrew; I was going to take him far away from the pack that had betrayed him. 

At the moment my son was buried, Anthony suddenly linked me. I thought he had sensed Andrew’s passing, but instead, his voice came through with the commanding tone of an Alpha— 

“Lucas has woken up. You’re to bring Andrew here immediately and apologize. Have him kneel outside the treatment room. If Lucas doesn’t forgive him, he’ll never rise again!” 

“Did you know Lucas has a broken bone? Ivy has been crying so hard that her eyes are swollen! You need to apologize to Ivy too! If you had properly taught your son, this wouldn’t have happened!” 

“Why aren’t you speaking? Does that coward not even have the courage to admit his mistakes? How did you raise him? He doesn’t even know basic wolf customs! Lucas nearly died saving him…” 

Who saved whose life?! 

I immediately blocked Anthony’s link. 

Looking at the lifeless boy in the ice coffin, his wounds remained unhealed. He should have been the future Alpha, yet now, he had no tombstone. 

He was deceived by Lucas, pinned to a silver cross, but when the Lone Wolf attacked, he protected his packmates! 

Yet after his death, Lucas trampled on his corpse, proudly taking all the honors that should have belonged to my son. 

The howl of a grieving mother wolf echoed across the frozen tundra. 

A wolf must take revenge, and the vengeance must be deep enough to reach the bone! 

The death of my son must be paid for with blood! 

I will make them realize that a mother wolf driven to desperation is more deadly than any Alpha! 

After burying Andrew, I went to find Anthony.
