MILES’ POV “Thank you, Alpha Greenwich. We’ll take that into consideration for the next inter-pack games,” I said into the phone, doing my best to sound polite. My patience for these calls was wearing thin. Evans strolled into my office; a stack of files balanced precariously in his arms. He

I took a slow breath. "Fine. But we’ll explain it to him gradually. One step at a time." Miles nodded curtly. "Of course. No need to rush things." *** I was late. Not terribly, but still not a great first impression on the new Head of Neurology. After everything that happened this morning with Mi
