Chapter 45: Chapter 45
Ivy’s Point of View
When I returned after leaving my father and brother, tiredness weighed heavily on me. I sank into my bed and fell into a long, dreamless sleep.
Before resting, I instructed Nell and my guards to take time to recover as well, knowing we would all need our strength. Now evening has arrived, and with it comes my responsibility to give Dominic another medicated bath.
It isn’t something I can manage alone, so Nell stands beside me, while my five personal guards remain close, their presence steady and reassuring as we prepare for the task ahead.
This medicated bath I was about to give Dominic follows a strict treatment schedule, carefully prescribed to aid his recovery. Every step must be done with care.
Firstly, I lit a stick of scented incense, allowing its soft, sweet fragrance to drift across the room. The calming aroma would help Dominic relax, easing his tension and preparing his body for the treatment.
Secondly, I gently poured the crushed herbal leaves into the warm water, watching as the mixture blended. Along with a few other essential ingredients, this prepared the healing bath Dominic needed tonight.
Thirdly, it was time to place him into the bathtub, the most delicate part of the process.
“Stone, Shadow, and Blade. You three, help him into the tub. Do it gently,” I instructed.
They obeyed immediately, lifting Dominic with great care and lowering him slowly into the medicated water. His body entered into the warmth, the surface rippling softly around him.
I stepped forward and began to wash him, my hands moving gently. Not only did I cleanse him, but I also massaged him, working the medicated water into his skin... his neck, arms, legs, chest, and back... until every part of him was massaged. After several minutes, I finally finished.
“You guys should help take him out of the water,” I said, my voice was filled with exhaustion. “I’m tired, so I’ll leave the rest to you. Just be careful with him, handle him gently, and make sure he’s properly settled.”

Ash, Shadow, and Blade carefully lifted Dominic from the bath, supporting his limp body as they carried him out and laid him gently on the bed, just as Ivy had instructed. Every movement was slow and cautious, mindful of his fragile state.
Ash moved to the wardrobe and retrieved fresh towels, returning quickly to begin drying Dominic’s body. The room was quiet, filled only with the soft sound of fabric against skin.
But then, in the middle of wiping him down, something happened... something moved.
All three of them froze instantly, their hands halting as shock spread across their faces, they were in disbelief.
They had to look again, uncertain if what they saw was real or just their imagination playing tricks on them.
Dominic, who had remained unconscious for so long, was now showing a clear physical reaction... his genital had become visibly aroused, an unexpected response from someone in a deep comatose state.
It left them stunned. How could his body react like this after being unresponsive for so long? Was this a sign of recovery?
Despite their confusion, their hope quickly replaced their doubt. To them, it felt like good news. Without wasting time, they dressed him in fresh, neat clothes and, filled with excitement, hurried off to inform the Alpha immediately.
Because Ivy had told them she was tired and had retired to her room, Ash, Shadow, Stone, Blade, and Wolf didn’t wait and went straight to Alpha Alaric. When they arrived at the palace, the Alpha was immediately confused to see them there alone, without Ivy.
“What brings five of you here? Is everything wrong?” he asked, his eyes searching their faces. “Where is Ivy? Is she doing okay?” Alpha Alaric’s concern was evident; something had clearly prompted their sudden visit.
“Greetings, Alpha,” they said in unison, bowing slightly as their voices echoed together, their voices were filled with urgency.
Alpha Alaric’s gaze swept over them as he repeated, “I asked a question,” his tone leaving no room for hesitation.
For a few tense moments, they all exchanged nervous glances, unsure who among them should break the news first. The silence was now evident in the room.
Finally, Ash took a deep breath, stepped forward with a calm composure, and bowed respectfully before straightening, ready to speak and deliver the news that had brought them here.
“Dominic is having a physiological reaction. His manhood is upright as I am talking to you,” Ash announced.
Alpha Alaric froze, his mind struggling to process the words. Pure shock coursed through him... were they playing a joke, trying to see how he would react to such news about his son?
For a moment, he was speechless, torn between disbelief, concern, and a rush of emotions he hadn’t expected to feel so suddenly.
“Are you sure about this?” Alpha Alaric asked, his voice a mixture of disbelief and concern.
“Yes, Alpha. We just finished cleaning him and saw it with our own eyes,” Stone finally spoke.
Alpha Alaric turned to the others, searching their faces, and they all nodded in agreement, confirming Stone’s words.
Seriously? He thought, shock and confusion swirling through him. How could this be true? Vegetative patients typically show no reaction at all, yet his son was clearly responding in a physiological way. Could this possibly mean that Dominic was beginning to wake, that recovery might finally be on the horizon?

Ivy’s Point of View
The next morning, I had already taken my bath and went straight to change Dominic’s clothes. My mind was focused on the routine, but the moment my eyes fell on him, everything stopped.
I noticed a noticeable bulge in his pants, and a rush of thoughts flooded me. Wait... what does this mean? Could it really be what I’m thinking? My heart raced with both surprise and hope.
This had to mean that all the treatments I had been giving him were truly working, effective beyond what I had dared to hope. If not, what better explanation could there be?
The door opened quietly, and Nell stepped in, her expression apologetic. “I’m sorry I didn’t knock,” she said softly. “I was just looking for you.”
“It’s okay, Nell. Here I am. What is it you need from me?” I asked, turning to face her fully.
“There’s a servant sent from the Crescent Moon Pack. He’s waiting outside,” Nell explained.
“A servant?” I repeated, needing to make sure I heard her correctly. She simply nodded.
I led the way outside, and there he stood.. truly one of my father’s servants. I recognized him immediately, my father must have personally sent him.
He bowed slightly as I gestured for him to rise and speak.
“Greetings. Your father, Beta Edwin, has sent me to you. He asked me to deliver this letter,” the servant said, carefully stretching the envelope toward me.
I took it from him, breaking the seal immediately, I unfolded the paper and read the neatly written words, my eyes scanning each line with growing interest.
“Dear daughter, this is a letter to inform you that both I and your brother Finn have passed Professor Aldwin’s assessment. We will soon be going to his house to continue our studies. With love, your father, Beta Edwin.”
Wow, this is truly wonderful news! My morning is off to an incredible start, filled with reasons to feel hopeful and encouraged.
Seeing Dominic’s body finally respond positively to the treatments fills me with both relief and excitement.
On top of that, learning that both my father and my brother have successfully passed Professor Aldwin’s rigorous assessment adds another layer of reassurance.
Together, these events make me feel that everything is aligning in the right direction, and for the first time in a long while, I can breathe a little easier and allow myself to feel genuinely optimistic.
The excitement swelling in my heart was overwhelming. Hearing the news that my father and brother had passed the old professor’s assessment and would soon be heading to his home filled me with joy.
This meant that they would soon be leaving the pack, ready to live their lives freely, peacefully, and beautifully. The thought of their happiness and independence brought warmth to me, making this news one of the most wonderful things I had heard in a long time. It truly lifted my spirits.
