Episode 60.

Both of them sat hopelessly inside the cell as the dungeon unlocked, causing them to look up and see Elena entering the room.

Upon seeing Elena, Elisa stood up with a surprised expression on her face. She never expected to see Elena there.

"My Luna, what are you doing here?" Elisa asked, her voice full of concern. She was afraid that Elena might get herself into trouble.

"I came to see you..." Elena began, only to be interrupted by Elisa.

"No, that's too risky! You will get yourself into trouble!" Elisa replied, leaving Elena gazing at her intently. Her eyes filled with gratitude as she realized Elisa's kindness, even after she had unwittingly put her in danger.

"Elisa, I don't know where to start apologizing... I was just scared. I never meant to..." She tried to explain, but Elisa cut her off.

"It's okay, my Luna. I understand. You were scared of death, and anyone in your position would have done the same. It's a good thing you denied me. If you had agreed, he would have killed us both," Elisa reassured looking at her with tears in her eyes.

"I was foolish to consider telling him about you in the first place. But please, can you do me a favor?" Elisa asked, reaching for Elena's hand as they locked eyes.

"Promise me that when I'm gone, you will one day achieve the goal of bringing a respectful world to every werewolf," Elisa implored tearfully, but Elena cut her off.

"Elisa, stop! You're not going to die! I promise to do everything in my power to save you. You will not die," Elena declared, gently holding Elisa's face as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Both you and I know that there's nothing you can do to rescue me from this fate. My time here is limited, and tomorrow marks the end. I am prepared to embrace the next world and serve the moon goddess," Elisa whispered, sitting back on the floor, clutching her leg as tears flowed unchecked.

Elena, feeling powerless and lost, contemplated pleading with the alpha on Elisa's behalf. Her gaze shifted to Mula in the neighboring cell, their eyes meeting in shared helplessness.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Elena realized she was now a solitary fighter, incapable of facing this challenge alone. She knew she needed help. With a final glance at Mula, she dashed out of the dungeon as the guards sealed the entrance behind her.

The Hall.

Dean stood alone in the throne room, holding Junior in his arms as he sang to the little boy. Suddenly, Elena rushed into the hall, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Hmm, have you spoken with your servant as you requested?" Dean inquired, seemingly indifferent to Elena's tears.

"Yes, I have. I talked to her, and she promised never to repeat her mistake. She was misled by Mula, and now she's facing the consequences. Seeing the trouble she's in, I believe she will not dare betray you again," Elena pleaded, her voice tinged with desperation.

Dean smirked as he approached her, gently placing his palms on her cheeks and planting a soft kiss on them. "Of course, she won't repeat her actions because she won't be alive to do so," Dean retorted, causing Elena to jerk his hand away.

"Please! I beg of you. I understand she's guilty of the offense you're accusing her of, but she doesn't deserve to die like this. She has been a loyal servant to us all, dedicating years to this pack and working tirelessly for you. Please find it in your heart to forgive her," Elena implored once more, her pleas only serving to irritate Dean further.

"Even more reason to forgive her until she holds a knife to our throats! By feeding our greatest enemy, she endangered this pack. There must be more to her actions than meets the eye... Come on, Elena!" Dean replied sternly, taking a deep breath before softening his tone.

"I understand your concern, Elena. Elisa has been your loyal servant, and you feel a deep connection with her. However, I must caution you that she may not have your best interests at heart. I provided her to serve you, and I know of another omega who may be more suitable..." Dean's words were cut off by Elena's sharp and exasperated voice.

"No one can replace her! If you harm Elisa, I will never forgive you, I swear!" Elena exclaimed, storming out of the throne room, tears streaming down her face, while Dean looked on, his eyebrows raised in surprise.

Dean appeared unfazed by Elena's outburst. This was his duty, his purpose, and he was prepared to fulfill it without hesitation.

Elena realized deep down that her words would likely fall on deaf ears. She knew Dean would not heed her pleas, but she felt compelled to try, even if it seemed as futile as trying to melt a stone with water.

Adam Kindle's Home.
 

It was dawn, and Olivia was already prepared to leave as Gwen walked her to the car.

"Unfortunately, you haven't kept your promise, Olivia. You said I could accompany you today, yet here I am, once more left alone in this vast, empty house," Gwen expressed. Olivia smiled faintly, kissed Gwen on the cheek, and picked up her handbag.

"Don't worry, Gwen. You will come to work with me, I assure you. The issue is that I have a lot on my plate right now. Could you do me a favor and stay home? Once I resolve my matters, I'll take you with me," Olivia reassured, and Gwen agreed with a nod.

"Alright, but please, about the court case, promise me you won't deal with it. Let them take the company if they wish. You have plenty more, and we both know Adam remains the wealthiest man," Gwen advised, and Olivia, not wanting to argue further, simply nodded.

"Understood. I'll heed your advice and steer clear of that. Now, I need you to make me a promise too," Olivia said softly, touching Gwen's lips.

"I don't want to return to find you broken. Avoid mentioning Carlos or anyone else. Keep yourself occupied—read, watch movies. I'll be back before you know it," Olivia requested, and Gwen nodded in agreement.

"I promise," Gwen replied. They shared another gentle kiss before Olivia finally drove off.

Alpha Mula's Pack.

Dean sat in his room with Elena, gazing down at the ground through the window, when he spotted Ryan and Jared returning with someone on Ryan's shoulder.

He realized they had brought Minerva back, which brought a smile to his face. Elena, noticing his joy, joined him at the window to see what had made him smile.

"I knew Ryan would be the scout I always wanted. They're back already in just a day!" Dean remarked, looking at Elena with a smirk before handing over the baby to her.

As soon as she took the baby, Dean hurried out of the room to greet them, with Elena following closely behind.

Stepping out of the house, Ryan met Dean outside with Minerva perched on his shoulder. As he advanced, Ryan carefully placed Minerva on the ground beside them.

"You've done well," Dean praised Ryan, who nodded in response and took a step back. Dean grew increasingly puzzled as Minerva remained motionless on the ground. He approached her, gently nudged her with his foot, but she didn't stir. Dean then turned to Ryan, wearing a concerned expression.

Ryan shook his head, took a deep breath, and placed his hand behind his back. "We found her lifeless," he announced.
