Drunken Revelations

Author: Audrey
(Vivian's POV)

"What makes you think that a common werewolf like you deserves the personal contact information of the alpha's son?"

The silence was deafening. Jessica stood frozen, humiliated.

Watching her, a painful memory surfaced. Three months after our mate-marking ceremony, at a pack gathering, I'd overheard Sylvan say, "Since I can't mark that mate I really want, it's just as well I'm mated to someone else."

His words had cut deep. I remember how I'd stood there, glass shattering as it slipped from my fingers. No one noticed me. They never did. I was just the healer, the obligation mate, the one Sylvan settled for instead of the one he wanted.

Now, seeing Jessica's humiliation, I felt an unwelcome flicker of sympathy. I knew what it was like to be dismissed by Sylvan Thorne.

"We need drinks," Emma announced loudly, grabbing my wrist. "Strong ones."

She pulled me to the bar and ordered, "Wolfsbane whiskey. Double shots. Keep them coming."

I raised my eyebrows. Wolfsbane wh

    (Vivian's POV)"Miss Vivian, Mr. Sylvan has returned and requests your presence downstairs immediately."Martha's voice filtered through my bedroom door, her tone urgent. I closed my medical journal and set it on the nightstand, sighing deeply."Tell him I'll be down shortly," I called back, making no move to get up.I had no intention of rushing downstairs at Sylvan's command. Instead, I walked to the corner of my bedroom where I'd set up a small healing area for my newest patients - three baby bunnies with various injuries from what appeared to be a fox attack."Hello, little ones," I whispered, checking their bandages and giving them fresh water.One of the smaller ones, a gray bunny with a splinted leg, twitched its nose at me. Phoebe remained oddly quiet in my mind as I tended to the creatures. Most wolves' inner animals would be agitated around prey, but Phoebe seemed to understand these were patients, not food.The bedroom door swung open without warning. Sylvan stood the

    (Vivian's POV)I slipped away from the main celebration, desperate for a moment's peace. The whispers followed me – hushed conversations about my earlier comment regarding Sylvan's "condition." I hadn't meant to create such a scene, but Michael Hayes's persistent questions about pups had pushed me to the edge.Katherine Hayes found me hiding in a quiet corner. Her face glowed with the new mother's radiance as she approached with a tiny bundle in her arms."Vivian, there you are! I was hoping you'd meet little Alexander."She extended the bundle toward me. I hesitated for only a moment before accepting the newborn pup. His weight was surprisingly substantial for one so small."He's beautiful, Katherine," I said sincerely, cradling him against my chest.The baby's scent was intoxicating – that unique mixture of innocence and potential that all newborns carried. His tiny hand escaped the blanket, fingers grasping at air until I offered my index finger. He gripped it with surprising

    (Vivian's POV)The silence that followed Sylvan's declaration was deafening. My heart pounded in my chest as I stood there, wrapped in his suit jacket that smelled of rain-soaked forest.Sylvan's eyes never left Mark. With a swift, deliberate motion, he extended his hand toward the water gun the boy was still clutching. I watched in fascination as his fingers closed around the plastic toy.Crack!The water gun shattered in his grip, plastic fragments scattering across the stone patio. Water dripped between his fingers as he crushed it effortlessly. My breath caught in my throat. This display of raw power wasn't for me - it was a message to everyone watching.Sylvan tossed the mangled remains of the toy at my feet. His eyes glinted dangerously in the moonlight."Pick it up," he ordered the boy, his voice deceptively soft.Robert Reid seemed to finally grasp the gravity of the situation. His face paled as he rushed forward, placing a hand on his son's shoulder."Mark, apologize p

    (Vivian's POV)The tension around the pool was suffocating. Samara Reid clutched her son to her chest, her eyes wild with maternal rage as she glared at Sylvan."This is a direct violation of pack law!" she shouted, her voice carrying across the gathering crowd. "No wolf may discipline another's pup without permission from the parents!"Her wolf was so close to the surface that I could see gold flecks appearing in her irises. Behind her, more pack members emerged from the Hayes house, drawn by the commotion.Sylvan stood tall, unruffled by her outburst. The remains of the crushed water gun lay scattered at our feet."By all means," he replied smoothly, "file a formal complaint with the Pack Council."His voice was soft yet carried an unmistakable threat. I noticed how everyone instinctively took a step back, creating space around him."I'm sure they'd be fascinated to hear how your son directly challenged my mate," Sylvan continued. "And how neither you nor your mate were superv

    (Vivian's POV)The air between Sylvan and me felt charged with something I hadn't experienced in years. His fingers lingered at my neck, sending little sparks down my spine. This was the perfect time to bring up severing our mate bond as Elizabeth had demanded.Yet the words refused to come. After watching him defend me so fiercely at the Hayes celebration, I couldn't break this fragile warmth between us."Sylvan," I said simply, my voice barely above a whisper.His eyes darkened, and his mouth lifted into a half-smile. "My name sounds so nice when you say it like that."The teasing note in his voice made my heart flutter. His hand moved to my waist, warm through my robe. He stepped closer, his scent enveloping me."I—" I began, uncertain what I wanted to say.The shrill ring of my phone cut through the moment. We both flinched at the interruption."You should answer that," Sylvan said, not moving his hand from my waist.I reached for my phone with reluctance. The caller ID sh

    (Vivian's POV)I stood frozen as Ruby Sterling's accusatory gaze burned through me. The hostility pulsing from her was almost tangible in the air."You really don't remember me?" she asked again, her tone laced with venom.Mrs. Sterling looked bewildered between us. "Ruby, what's the meaning of this? Dr. Bennett saved your eye!"Ruby's laugh was harsh, grating against my nerves. "Mother, do you know who this is? This is Vivian Bennett, Sylvan Thorne's mate."The way she said "mate" made it sound like a curse. A chill crawled up my spine as memories began to surface."Lucas Hayes' birthday celebration," Ruby continued, her uninjured eye gleaming with malice. "Two years ago. You were there, weren't you, Dr. Bennett?"The memory hit me like a physical blow. Lucas' birthday. The night everything changed."I remember now," I said quietly, keeping my professional mask firmly in place.Ruby smirked. "I thought you might. How could anyone forget such a... memorable occasion?"My stom

    (Ruby's POV)"Ruby Sterling!" My mother's voice cut through the silence like a knife. "How dare you speak to Dr. Bennett that way after she saved your eye!"I shifted uncomfortably against my pillows, the bandage over my right eye feeling suddenly tighter. "She and Sylvan Thorne obviously have problems anyway. Everyone knows it."Mother's face flushed with anger. She stepped closer to my bed, her normally gentle features hardened into stern lines."That gives you no right to be disrespectful to the woman who spent four hours healing you!" She smoothed her expensive dress, a nervous habit she'd had for as long as I could remember."You have no idea what that woman has been through," Mother continued, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Do you know her story? Do you know who she really is?"I rolled my good eye. "Some charity case the Thornes took in. Everyone knows that."The slap of my mother's hand against the bedside table made me jump."Her father was the Beta of the Thorn Pac

    (Vivian's POV)The evening air was crisp against my face as I walked out of the Pack Medical Center. My shift had finally ended, but my mind refused to let go of this morning's confrontation.My own words echoed in my head, making me wince. Had I gone too far? Perhaps. But he had hurt me deeper at Lucas Hayes's birthday celebration two years ago, and he'd never apologized for that."If I can't mark my true mate, can't I just mark someone else to make do?"I remembered the crushing silence that followed his declaration, the pitying glances from wolves of both packs. How I'd stood there, glass shattered at my feet, my dignity in pieces."Maybe I should apologize," I whispered to myself, pulling my coat tighter against the evening chill.After all, what good would it do to spend our last month before severing our mate bond in constant conflict? We'd already wasted enough time on resentment and silence.Emma would call me pathetic for even considering an apology. "He should be grove

Running the Blood Moon organization required precision and punctuality, traits I excelled at in every aspect of my life.Except when it came to Vivian.I stepped outside earlier than necessary, preferring the bite of cold air to the suffocating silence of my empty home. Logan stirred restlessly beneath my skin, already sensing my irritation.When the black SUV pulled up, Marcus looked surprised to find me waiting outside."You're early, Alpha," he remarked, opening the door for me.I slid into the backseat, my ice-blue eyes fixed on the dismal landscape beyond the window. "Let's go."Marcus started the engine but hesitated before pulling away. "Is everything alright, sir?"I let out a humorless laugh. "Other she-wolves are made of water, but Vivian is made of ice."Marcus wisely remained silent, know

    (Vivian's POV)The air was cool as Emma and I walked back to my apartment at Moonstone Ridge. The sky had turned a deep indigo, with the first stars beginning to appear above the territory borders."So let me get this straight," Emma said, breaking our momentary silence. "Sylvan Thorne is the mysterious benefactor who's paying for Anna's moon sickness treatment?"I nodded, feeling a strange mix of emotions even saying it aloud. "Yes. And he's been getting Anna to deliver flowers to me.""Using a sick pup as his messenger?" Emma's eyebrows shot up. "That's... actually kind of sweet and manipulative at the same time.""That's Sylvan in a nutshell," I replied with a small smile I couldn't quite suppress.Emma stopped walking and turned to face me, her expression serious. "Why am I just hearing about this now? When did all this happen?"I shrugged, suddenly feeling defensive. "It's been a lot to process.""We've nearly completed a full moon cycle of drama and you're just telling me

    (Vivian's POV)Sylvan's tall frame stood in front of me in the staircase, my back pressed against the cold concrete wall as he leaned closer."Just one kiss, little white wolf," he murmured, his ice-blue eyes darkening with intent.His words jolted something in me, breaking the spell momentarily."Which white wolf exactly?" I asked, my voice sharper than intended.Sylvan blinked, clearly caught off guard. "What?""Which white wolf are you referring to?" I pressed, my heart hammering against my ribs. "I'm not the only one, you know."His brows furrowed in genuine confusion. "What are you talking about?""Clara Redcliff," I said, the name itself leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. "Her wolf has white markings too. I heard the packmates discussing it."Understanding dawned on his face, followed quickly by exasperation. His rain-forest scent intensified, washing over me in waves."You can't be serious," he said, shaking his head. "I don't care what color Clara's wolf is. She coul

    (Vivian's POV)I lingered outside Anna's treatment room, unable to tear myself away from the scene unfolding inside. Through the small window, I could see Sylvan sitting comfortably in the chair beside her bed. His tall frame looked almost comically large next to her thin one."But why don't you give the flowers to Healer Bennett yourself?" Anna asked, her voice stronger today than it had been in weeks.Sylvan leaned back in his chair, his rain-forest scent likely filling the small room. "Because she wouldn't accept them from me."Anna frowned, her small wolf flickering briefly beneath her pale skin. "Why not? The flowers are pretty.""It's... complicated," Sylvan replied, his ice-blue eyes softening in a way I rarely saw. "Adult wolves sometimes have disagreements.""Is it because of her mate?" Anna asked innocently.I froze. How did Anna know about my mate situation?Sylvan's eyebrows rose slightly. "What do you know about her mate?"Anna leaned forward conspiratorially. "I

    (Vivian's POV)I walked through the Pack Medical Center's corridors, my mind still buzzing with questions about the anonymous benefactor. The hallways seemed brighter somehow, filled with an energy that had been missing for weeks.When I reached the silver poisoning recovery ward, I heard Marie's voice before I saw her. She was animated, her usual weariness replaced by excitement as she spoke to the elderly wolf in the next bed."...and they've arranged for specialists from the Northern Pack! Can you imagine? My Anna might have more time now."I paused in the doorway, not wanting to interrupt her moment of joy. Marie had spent so many moons in quiet despair. This change was beautiful to witness.She noticed me and her face lit up even more. "Healer Bennett! I was just telling everyone about our miracle.""I see that," I smiled, approaching her bedside to check her vital signs. Her wolf was stronger today, stirring more visibly beneath her skin."The new treatment begins next wee

    (Vivian's POV)The elevator doors closed with a soft chime, trapping me with Sylvan. His rain-forest scent filled the small space, making me press against the opposite wall."Good morning, little white wolf," he said, his ice-blue eyes watching me.I stared at the metal doors, refusing to look at him. Phoebe remained quiet within me."Giving me the silent treatment again?" Sylvan asked. "Very mature."The numbers on the display panel moved slowly. I counted each floor we passed."I could pick you up after your shift today," he offered, moving closer. "Take you home."I couldn't help my sarcastic response. "Oh? Are you finally taking me to the pack council office so we can end our partnership?"To my surprise, Sylvan's expression became serious. "Yes. I'll take you there today after work."I turned to face him, caught off guard. "You will?""Absolutely," he nodded, checking his watch. "I can be here at six."Something wasn't right. Then it hit me.

    (Nathan's POV)I still remember the first time I saw Vivian Bennett. It was during the Eastern Alliance negotiations, five years ago.My father had just passed leadership of the Sterling Pack to me. As my first official act as Alpha, I traveled to Thorn Pack territory to renew our hunting agreements.The formal negotiations had ended for the day. Most wolves were gathered in the main hall. I needed fresh air to clear my head, so I slipped out into the moonlit gardens.That's when I saw her.She stood alone in the medical herb garden, bathed in silver moonlight. Her movements were graceful as she gathered herbs, placing each one carefully in a small basket.I wasn't the only one who noticed her. Several visiting wolves paused their conversations to watch. There was something mesmerizing about her focused dedication, completely unaware of the attention she drew."Who is she?" one of the Northern Pack emissaries whispered beside me.Before I could respond, another wolf answered: "

    (Vivian's POV)The cool night air hit my face as I pushed through the door of The Moonlight Bar. My cheeks burned with embarrassment and frustration. How could Sylvan create such a scene? And Ruby—why would she blurt out Nathan's feelings like that?I'd barely made it ten steps when a strong hand caught my wrist. I didn't need to turn to know who it was. His rain-forest scent enveloped me immediately."Vivian, wait." Sylvan's voice was low, almost pleading.I spun around, pulling my arm from his grip. "Haven't you caused enough drama for one night?"His ice-blue eyes were intense in the moonlight. "We need to talk about what just happened in there.""What's there to talk about?" I snapped. "You completely embarrassed Nathan for no reason."Sylvan's jaw tightened. "No reason? He's been pursuing my mate behind my back.""He hasn't been pursuing me! And even if he had feelings, he never acted on them." I crossed my arms tightly. "You didn't need to humiliate him in front of everyo

    (Vivian's POV)The blue liquid of my moon-lily martini spread quickly across Sylvan's dark jeans, soaking through the expensive fabric. A hush fell over our table as everyone stared, first at the growing wet spot, then at my empty glass still tilted in my hand.I should have felt embarrassed. Or apologetic. Instead, a strange satisfaction warmed my chest.Emma's jaw dropped so far I thought it might hit the table. Ruby froze with her own drink halfway to her mouth. Nathan's eyes widened with a mixture of shock and what looked almost like admiration.I finally dared to look at Sylvan directly. His ice-blue eyes were surprisingly calm as he surveyed the damage. The faint hint of a smirk played at the corner of his mouth."Well," he said, reaching for a napkin, "if you wanted to buy me a drink, little white wolf, there are more conventional methods."His casual response was more infuriating than anger would have been. I had literally poured alcohol in his lap, and he was making joke
