Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 405 See Her, Please I sat outside the emergency room, my gaze fixed on the door. I couldn't tear my eyes away.

+8 Pearls Wendy's bloodied body, collapsed in the bathtub, haunted my mind. Each image sliced throughlike a blade, Moon Goddess, don't take her from me.

I muttered the prayer, my heart clenching in fear.

When our mother passed, she held my hand with her last breath. Her voice, weak and trembling, whispered, "Michael, you have to look after your sister after I'm gone." I was only 15. Wendy was just a child, barely seven or eight.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll take care of Wendy. I won't let anything happen to her." Tears filled my eyes as I made the promise.

I had sworn to protect Wendy, and I'd kept that vow.

No matter what she asked, I gave it to her. I may have spoiled her a little, let her beca bit too indulged.

But I never imagined it would cto this. I never thought Wendy would try to take her own life because of Caden.

A storm of guilt and anger churned inside me, mixing together, impossible to ignore.

"Grandpa, do you think Wendy's going to be okay?" My voice cracked as I looked up, eyes swollen and - bloodshot.

His face was etched with worry. As Alpha of the Wild Pack, he knew the rumors swirling about Wendy and the gigolo werewolves.

Now, with her suicide attempt, if the press caught wind of it, the town would explode with scandal.

He sighed, heavy with resignation. "Let's hope she pulls through." Just then, the emergency room lights flickered off.

A werewolf doctor emerged, pushing Wendy on a stretcher.

"How is she? Is she okay?” I rushed toward them, my chest tight with anxiety.

The doctor adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, a look of relief on his face. “She's stable now. We got to her in time. There shouldn't be any lasting damage." I exhaled, the breath I hadn't realized I was holding escaping me.

I looked down at Wendy's face, pale and lifeless. Her eyes were shut tight, her skin almost ghostly.

A sharp pain twisted in my heart.

How had my once-proud, beautiful sister beca shadow of herself? 1/3 Chapter 405 See Her, Please If it weren't for him, Wendy would have been fine. She wouldn't be lying here, on the edge of life.

+8 Pearls I stayed by Wendy's side all night, not moving or blinking. It wasn't until the first light of dawn that she finally stirred.

Wendy's POV: "Michael, what are you doing here?" I blinked, waking to see him sitting by my bed, eyes locked on me.

"Wendy, how are you feeling?" His voice was thick with concern as he sawopen my eyes.

"It hurts." I winced, the pain still sharp, like a thousand needles piercing my body.

The memories began to return in pieces.

I remembered what had happened. Yesterday, I'd gone to find Caden to apologize, but he hadn't even looked at me.

Heartbreak, disappointment, and an overwhelming sense of injustice consumed me. I made the choice to cut myself.

Of course, I never truly wanted to die. I only wanted him to care.

As I tried to slit my wrist, my foot slipped. I fell hard into the bathtub. The knife didn't hesitate. It sliced deep. The pain was excruciating.

"Wendy, it's okay. The doctor checked you over. With srest, you'll heal," Michael said softly, his voice full of concern as he watched me.

I scanned the room, my voice barely above a whisper. "Where's Caden?" Michael's face darkened, hesitation creeping into his words. “He's... busy.” "Caden didn't even cto see me?" I asked, disbelief creeping into my voice.

I nearly died for him. Now, badly hurt, he couldn't even spare a moment to check on me? Not even the slightest worry? "Why, Michael? Why is he being so heartless?" I couldn't hold back any longer. Tears streamed down my face.

Had Caden really becso cold? Didn't he feel anything? I was willing to die for him, and yet he hadn't even spareda glance.

Why? I asked myself.

"Wendy, listen," Michael said, his voice firm but comforting. He stood and gently patted my shoulder. "Caden's just caught up in work. He'll csee you soon." "Really?" His certainty sparked a small flicker of hope in my chest.

Michael nodded. “Rest here. I've got to get back to the office.” 2/3 09:04 Thu, 27 Mar Chapter 405 See Her, Please And just like that, he turned and walked out of the room.

Michael's POV: I had to find Caden. No matter what it took, he had to visit Wendy in the hospital, I drove straight to Eclipse Group, determined.

As I pulled up, I saw him walking out of the building.

"Caden, can we talk?" I stepped in front of him, blocking his way.

"What's this about?" Caden asked, his tone flat, showing no emotion.

4100% +8 Pearls "It's about my sister," I said, my brow furrowed. "She tried to end her life for you. She barely survived the surgery." "She's fine, then," Caden replied coldly, his face expressionless, not a shred of concern in his eyes.

"She was wrong, yes, but she's suffering now. She has paid enough for her wrongdoings. Caden, please, go see her. I'm asking you,” I pleaded, swallowing my pride. I'd promised Wendy he would visit. I couldn't break that promise.

Caden paused, his eyes narrowing as he thought it over. Finally, he spoke. "Alright. I'll go. Just because you're your pack 's heir. But this is a one-tthing. Don't expect it to happen again." "Thank you!" Relief flooded through me, the weight on my chest lifting.

"I'll go later," Caden said, his voice indifferent.

I reached into my car and handed him a bouquet of fire lilies. "Taken these to Wendy She loves them. And if they're from you, it'll mean something to her." Caden raised an eyebrow, taking the flowers with an unreadable expression.
