“Are we really going to give up?” Samuel murmured, pressing a hand to his throbbing forehead. The nonstop,
high-intensity work was finally breaking even him.
“Take an hour to rest. I'll keep watch,” Tessa said, giving him a light shove. “We'll hold out in shifts. Better than
both of us dropping.”
Samuel wanted to argue, but her eyes stopped him cold.
She was right, and he knew it. So he stood. “I'll relieve you in an hour.”
Tessa lay down on the makeshift hospital sofa almost instantly.
and fell asleep
But not even an hour later, she jolted a deep sense of dread gripping her.
She bolted to the lab.
pounding,
The moment she opened the door, her pupils shrank in horror-Samuel had collapsed beside the workstation, his
face tinged with the sickly gray-blue hue unique to virus infection.
“Samuel!” Tessa ran to catch him, her voice trembling.
Even an S+ level werewolf medic had fallen. This virus was far more aggressive than they'd ever imagined.
Samuel forced his eyes open, weakly pushing her away. “Stay back... I'm infected... Don’t touch me.”
His voice was faint. Though his healing ability was leagues above other werewolves, it wasn’t enough to stop the

to sit back and watch this virus destroy Montedra’s genetic future? You think that white coat you wear is for
show?”
The doctors lowered their heads in shame, none to speak again.
Outside, the council's defense squads stood guard. No one was allowed in or out. They couldn’t run even if they
wanted to. But staying meant risking infection.
“I'll stay with you.” One woman stepped forward. Her nametag read “Rosa.” “I'll be your assistant.”
She shot a scornful glance at the others-backing out now was a disgrace to everything their profession stood for.
“Good.” Tessa nodded and turned back into the lab.
Rosa followed closely, moving efficiently through the prep work. Every task Tessa assigned was handled with
precision, saving tand energy.

Rosa’s heart skipped. She stared at the writhing genetic strand under the lens in awe. “That's incredible. The
gene sequence is insanely complex. | studied it for three days and couldn't figure it out.”
“Just borrowed from what | had,” Tessa said calmly, fingers flying over the keyboard. “Samuel had a werewolf
genmap in his notes. | used it to find a weak point.”
What she didn’t mention was that she'd spent hours translating those advanced medical terms while
running experiments in real-time-tearing through that wall with sheer grit.
Rosa watched Tessa’s focused profile and finally understood why Samuel had trusted her so deeply.
