Camila’s POV Post

I shook my head, still embarrassed by his teasing. Roman could turn almost anything into something! naughty. “Forget it. I’ve changed my mind. No need to beg.”

He gave me an amused look. “Besides, since we’re still on good terms, and I don’t want you saying I kep something important from you.” His expression grew serious. “You know your vice, Susan is working on deal with Alpha Philip Clifford’s company, right?”

“I’ve heard about it,” he replied. “Susan mentioned it to me. I told her she could go ahead, as long as the company passed our checks. If anything looked wrong, I wouldn’t approve the deal.”

I nodded. That was exactly what I wanted to discuss. “There’s a problem with some of their products. They use a technology called TexCore. It’s been getting a lot of attention lately, but I’ve heard it may have some serious problems. The information isn’t confirmed yet, but there’s a chance the technology could fail in the

future.”

Roman listened quietly. “I planned to tell you about this over dinner tonight. I know NEXZONE is offering Alpha Philip’s company better prices than Whitmore Group, but what happens if the technology fails? NEXZONE could lose much more than the money you’re trying to save.”

I paused before continuing. “I’m only giving you a warning. What you decide to do with it is up to you. But I don’t want you thinking I’m trying to scare you away from the deal so Whitmore Group can take your place. I

don’t do business that way.”

I looked directly at him. “I just thought you should know before making a decision. That’s all.”

Roman gave a small nod. “I understand, Miss Hart.”

Roman and I were still talking when the emergency room doors finally opened. A doctor stepped out, and I immediately got to my feet. “Doctor, how is my grandmother?”

“She is stable for now. We managed to revive her, but her condition is still serious.”

My heart skipped. “What happened to her?”

The doctor glanced at me before explaining. “Her blood pressure rose sharply, triggering a heart attack. We also found signs of an earlier heart condition and previous surgery. There is a risk of bleeding in the brain, so we’ll need to monitor her closely.”

“But she’s a werewolf,” I said, confused. “Shouldn’t her wolf heal her?”

“Normally, yes. A werewolf’s wolf helps the human body heal and recover from injuries and illnesses. However, your grandmother’s wolf has become unusually weak. It is no longer strong enough to support her body the way it should.”

I stared at him. “Her wolf is weak?”

He nodded. “It appears to have been weakening for some time. That may explain why her health has been declining without obvious signs. Her body can no longer recover as quickly as it once did. The sudden rise in blood pressure made things worse.”

I struggled to process his words. “Is there anything you can do?”

“We’ve stabilised her, and we’ll continue treating her heart and controlling her blood pressure. But at her age,

with her wolf in this condition, recovery may take longer. She needs rest, regular medical checks and as little stress as possible.”

My eyes burned. I had no idea about her heart, and certainly not about her wolf. Grandma had always been strong. Even when she complained about feeling tired, she would brush it aside and tell me she was fine. never imagined her wolf Stella could become this weak. Had she been suffering all this time while I went about my life, believing she was perfectly healthy?

“Doctor…” My voice trembled. “Will she be alright?”

“We’ve done what we can for now. She may regain consciousness tomorrow. You’ll have to be patient and make sure she receives proper care.”

I wiped my tears with the back of my hand. “Can I see her?”

“Yes. You may go in, but please let her rest.”

I nodded slowly. “Thank you, Doctor.”

Roman accompanied me into the VIP room where Grandma had been moved. The moment I stepped inside, my heart sank.

She lay motionless on the hospital bed, an oxygen mask covering her face. Her eyes were closed, and the woman who had always seemed larger than life looked so fragile beneath the white sheets.

I stood beside her bed, unable to take my eyes off her. This was the first time I had ever seen Grandma in a hospital. Not even once had she been admitted to the pack infirmary. She was always strong, always active. I couldn’t remember a single day when she had allowed her health to keep her from doing what she wanted. A tear slipped down my cheek.

“When I was little, I used to race through the woods with her wolf,” I whispered. “Her wolf was so powerful. I could barely keep up, but she always slowed down for me. Sometimes, she’d let me hold on to her fur as we ran through the forest.”

I smiled faintly at the memory, but my eyes filled again. “I thought she would always be that strong. I never imagined I’d see her lying here like this.”

I looked at her grey hair, then at her still face. “I didn’t even notice how much she’d aged. In my mind, she’s still the same woman who could run through the woods without getting tired. The same woman who made me feel safe no matter what happened.”

My voice broke. “And now I find out she’s been having heart problems. She even had surgery, and she never told me.” I lowered my head. “She must have been so ill at the time. Did she miss me? Was she hoping I’d come home? I’m her only granddaughter, yet I wasn’t there for her.”

The tears came faster. “I know she probably kept it from me because she didn’t want me to worry, but how could she hide something like that? I would have wanted to know. I should have been there.”

I covered my mouth, trying to hold back another sob. A handkerchief appeared in front of me. Before I could reach for it, Roman gently wiped the tears from my cheek.

I turned towards him, startled by the unexpected tenderness.

“Let me do it,” I murmured, reaching for the handkerchief.

When my fingers brushed against his, his hand was warm, and the brief touch sent an unfamiliar shiver through me. I quickly drew back, suddenly conscious of how close he was. Roman didn’t react. He simply placed the handkerchief in my hand and gave me a moment.

“Camila,” he said after a while, “family isn’t always about blood.”

I looked at him. “Think about Kent and his sister. Your grandmother took them in, didn’t she? And Anabela is practically your sister. They may not share your blood, but they care about you. They care about your grandmother too.”

I nodded slowly. “They’re your family just as much as you are theirs,” he continued. “Sometimes, the people who stand beside us are more of a family than the ones we’re related to. Blood doesn’t always mean yalty.”

I understood what he was trying to tell me. Roman had never had an easy relationship with his own family From what I knew, things between him and his father’s family were far from peaceful. He seemed to have learned the hard way that sharing a name didn’t always mean sharing love. I couldn’t imagine what it must have been like to grow up in a family where trust was so difficult.

I had been fortunate. Grandma had kept me away from the ugly side of family life. She had given me a home filled with love, protected me from problems I never even knew existed, and made sure I never felt alone. looked at her again. I wasn’t ready to lose her. Never.
