Chapter 148

• Mia's POV
• The afternoon clinic shift had been unusually quiet. Only three warriors still required treatment, and all minor follow-ups that took less than an hour. Mrs. Grayson had dismissed me early, insisting I take advantage of the rare downtime.
• I found myself wandering the pack house without clear destination, needing an outlet for my restless energy. The past weeks had been so consumed by combat aftermath and recovery work that I had forgotten what free time felt like.
