Third Person's POV

"But Morty, this place is for everyone. It's a zoo. The pheromones are all over the place, and it's loud. It's not like Iceblade. I'm just worried the noise will stunt Rolf's healing," Vivian pushed, refusing to let it go.

She was desperate to cut the cord. If she could get Rolf out of this building, Mortimer would have zero excuses to keep "bumping into" Seraphina. That woman was getting too good at playing him.

But Mortimer was a wall. The man who used to cave to her every

    Seraphina's POVFor once, the man who usually dictated every breath in the room was being disturbingly compliant."I don't have time to find you a suit," I said, testing him. "I'm just grabbing a parka for you to throw on. Deal with it."He didn't snap. He just lowered his head, shifting his weight to make it easier for me to wrap the coat around him. "Whatever you say," he murmured.His voice was terrifyingly soft, laced with a needy, submissive edge I'd never heard before.Vivian was standing two feet away, her eyes boring into us.I caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of my eye—her nails were digging so hard into her thighs they were leaving angry, red crescents.The air around her was turning toxic with jealousy.I grabbed a heavy coat from the master suite, draped it over him, and snatched the keys to his Cullinan from the foyer table. "We're not waiting for a driver," I told him. "I'm behind the wheel."

    Third Person's POVVivian kept whimpering, her voice thick with a cloying, needy kind of grief. "I know Seraphina took it the wrong way. Maybe I'm just too used to leaning on you, Morty... I never meant to challenge her. I never meant to mess with your contract."She crawled closer, crouching at Mortimer's feet like a stray pup looking for a hand-out. She reached out, her fingers inching toward his thigh.Mortimer recoiled. It was a visceral, physical rejection.Vivian's eyes flashed with a dark, jagged resentment for a split second before she doubled down on the waterworks. "Morty... do you think I'm just a useless burden too?"Mortimer kept his head down, letting the fever-dream haze swirl in his skull. He didn't say a word.Seeing the "fragile girl" act losing its edge, Vivian's sobbing trailed off into a frustrated, messy silence."Morty...""If she took it the wrong way, it means we've overstepped," Mortimer said suddenly.

    Third Person's POV"Be my guest," Seraphina said, her voice dropping to zero degrees."You... you just wait!" Vivian spat the words through gritted teeth, turning on her heel and stomping off.She was so blinded by her own theatrical rage that she seemed to have forgotten she actually came to the clinic to see her brother.Seraphina watched her silhouette vanish at the end of the hall, the small smirk on her face fading into something tired.She thought about Vivian's little boast—that Mortimer had promised to mate with her.Suddenly, the puzzle pieces clicked.She finally understood why Mortimer, who treated Vivian like a fragile glass doll, had signed that contract with her instead.Vivian was stuck overseas, recovering. Mortimer needed a female wolf to shut the pack elders up and kill the pressure from the Alpha families.He needed a placeholder. Someone low-maintenance, polite, and professional.Someone

    Third Person's POVVivian froze, her little secret stripped bare in the middle of the hall.She shot Seraphina a look that could kill, then brushed past her, heading for Rolf's room.But as their shoulders grazed, she stopped. "Try to steal Mortimer from me," she hissed through gritted teeth, "and I'll rip you apart, Seraphina."Seraphina let out a short, dry laugh she couldn't quite catch.The vein in Vivian's temple throbbed. She whirled around. "What's so funny?""Relax. I'm not interested in your 'prey.'"Seraphina almost told her that Mortimer was home with a fever—practically gift-wrapped for her to go play nursemaid.But then she remembered the look on his face this morning.At first, she didn't understand why Mortimer was angry when she had acted generously, even offering her place so Vivian could comfort him.But now she understood—besides worrying about tiring Vivian, Mortimer was probably tr

    Third Person's POVIn the next heartbeat, the floodgates opened. The memories he'd buried came roaring back.Mortimer's face, already flushed with fever, went a deathly, chalky white.He remembered.Last year, when he was bedridden and wrecked, Seraphina had nuked her entire schedule—canceled every meeting, walked away from every surgery—just to stay by his side.And what did he do? To protect that jagged, high-and-mighty ego of his, to make sure she didn't see him as some "weakling" who needed a crutch, he'd spat those ice-cold words at her.To Seraphina, that wasn't "strength." It was a slap in the face. It was him telling her she was a nuisance.A sudden, unanchored panic clawed at Mortimer's gut.He opened his mouth to explain, but his throat felt like it was filled with hot sand. Not a single word made it out.Seraphina clearly wasn't interested in decoding his facial expressions.She checked her watch again, her tone professional and final. "I've got a full surgical board today.

    Third Person's POVThey exchanged a look, their eyes practically sparking with unspent gossip."Look, stay sharp," Tade warned, his face a mask of professional gravity. "The boss's wife has never shown her face here. If she ever does, I want 5-star treatment. No screw-ups. Got it?"The team nodded in unison. "Copy that, Tade.""But wait—what does she actually look like?" one of them whispered, unable to help herself."To land a guy like Mortimer, she's gotta be a supermodel, right?"Tade blinked as Seraphina's face flashed in his mind. Supermodel? Please. Put those two in a room together and they look like a power couple straight off the cover of Vogue."She's stunning," he muttered. "That's all you need to know.""Tade, that's useless. 'Pretty' is everywhere in this city," someone protested. "Give us a hint so we don't make fools of ourselves."Tade sighed. He felt less like a high-level beta and more like a tired butler managing a bunch of interns. "Listen. You know how the boss is.
