Luca's POV
I was still feeling pains in my body. It was relentless, but it was nothing compared to the urgency coursing through my veins. Every moment that passed without action felt like a betrayal. I had survived the ambush, which left me even disappointed.
I couldn't even defend my pack.
I have failed.
I failed my father, who died from the very hands of the hunters.
Kael stood at the edge of the room, his eyes fixed on me as I slowly rose from the bed, my breath hitching in the process. The pain would make the journey unbearable, but there was no time for hesitation. I had to visit the Shin healer.
"You should rest," Kael said, his voice calm but the concern etched across his face clear.
I focused on the simple task of standing, trying to ignore the way my body screamed for rest.
