I clenched my fists at his audacity but kept my tone level. “Miles, I don’t want trouble with you or your pack. And I certainly don’t want to disrespect your parents, just as you’ve disrespected mine today. But I’ll say this one last time, Rhea isn’t here. If she were, do you think my parents would’

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
