Chapter 37 - Healing Bonds

Aurora sat in her room, her heart heavy with the weight of her actions. She replayed the events of the day in her mind, feeling remorse and regret for her impulsive attack on Jacob. Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a knock on her door interrupted her.

"Come in," Kira called out, her voice filled with gratitude.

Jacob entered the room, his presence bringing a sense of calmness amidst the turmoil. He approached Aurora, taking a seat beside her and gently holding her hand.

"Thank you for coming, Jacob," Kira said, her voice filled with appreciation. "After everything that happened today, I'm glad you're here."

Jacob nodded, his eyes reflecting understanding. "I wanted to check on Aurora, to make sure she's okay. I apologize on behalf of Molly for what happened. She let her anger consume her, and it led to this unfortunate incident."

Aurora's gaze met Jacob's, a mix of emotions swirling within her. She could sense his sincerity and felt a glimmer of hope for resolution.

"I appreciate your apology, Jacob," Aurora replied, her voice filled with a blend of gratitude and sadness. "I know that deep down, Molly didn't mean to harm me. We have our misunderstandings, and perhaps it's time to face them head-on."

Jacob's hand tightened around Aurora's, offering support and encouragement. "If you ever need anything, Aurora, please know that you can count on me. We are allies, and I'm here to help in any way I can."

With those words, Jacob closed his eyes, and a soft, gentle glow emanated from his hands. Aurora watched in astonishment as her injuries began to heal, the pain dissipating with each passing moment.

"What... what is happening?" Aurora whispered, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Kira stood nearby, a warm smile gracing her lips. "Aurora, Jacob's unique ability is different from others. It's called 'Healer.' He possesses the power to mend fresh injuries, a gift that sets him apart. Though he once questioned its usefulness in battles, it motivated him to train and fight with his raw strength and speed."

Aurora felt a surge of awe and unbreakable respect for Jacob surging through her soul. The depth of his abilities and his unwavering dedication to their alliance resonated deeply within her.

As Jacob finished healing her, he gently squeezed her hand. "Rest now, Aurora. Take the time you need to recover. And when you're ready, I encourage you to have a face-to-face conversation with Molly. Sometimes, misunderstandings can be resolved through open and honest communication."

Aurora nodded, a newfound determination fueling her spirit. She realized the importance of finding common ground and understanding within their pack.

"Thank you, Jacob," she said, her voice filled with gratitude. "And please, convey my thanks to Mark as well. He saved me today."

With that, Kira and Jacob left the room, their presence leaving a sense of hope in Aurora's heart. She knew that the path ahead wouldn't be easy, but she was ready to face her misunderstandings and work towards building a stronger bond within their pack.
