Christie's POV

Actually, all i could smell was the expensive hair lotions and body sprays as I rounded the corner into the living room. I was expecting to see paramedics or an oxygen tank.

Instead, I saw Diane standing in front of the ornate gilded mirror, fastening a string of pearls around her neck. Anna was sitting on the chaise lounge, stepping into a pair of towering silver heels.

They were dressed in full evening wear—sequins, silk, and jewels that caught th

  • Fated To The Human Doctor    Command

    Lyon’s POVI didn't let go of Christie immediately. I felt her heart hammer against her ribs.That alone made the wolf inside me snarl. I shifted my grip, keeping one arm firmly around her waist as I turned my head to face the intruder.Diane stood in the doorway, the light from the hall silhouetting her like a jagged piece of glass. She was still draped in her jewels, but her face was twisted with a cold, sharp disgust. She didn't look at me first. She looked at Christie as if she were a stain on the carpet."I expected many things tonight, Christie," Diane said, her voice dripping with a calculated, poisonous disappointment. "But this? This is beyond even your usual lack of decorum."Christie tried to step back, but I held her steady. I could feel the shame radiating off her, fueled by years of this woman’s mental conditioning. It made my blood boil."Your father is lying in the next room, struggling for every breath," Diane continued, stepping into the room. She pointed a manicured

  • Fated To The Human Doctor    In The Alpha's Arms

    Christie’s POVI stood in the foyer for a long minute, my hands curled into fists at my sides. They hadn't even paused at my father’s door. They hadn't lowered their voices or asked for a medical update. To them, the man who had built their world was now just a chore they had successfully delegated to me.I turned and walked quietly back to my father’s room. But as I approached the bed, I saw his eyes were open. He looked smaller in the dim light of the bedside lamp, his skin pale against the dark wood of the headboard."Christie?" he whispered, his voice a dry rasp."I’m here, Dad," I said, sitting on the edge of the mattress and taking his hand. His fingers were cold, and his grip was weak. "How are you feeling?"He didn't answer the question. His eyes shifted toward the door, his ears straining for a sound that wasn't there. "I heard a car. And voices. Is she back? Is Diane home?"The lump in my throat felt like lead. I didn't want to tell him the truth, but I couldn't lie."Yes.

  • Fated To The Human Doctor    Picking Out Favorite Flowers

    Christie’s POV After my father had finally fallen into a deep, medicated sleep, Lyon had stayed with me on the porch for a while. Eventually, his phone had buzzed with the kind of business that a man like him couldn't ignore."I need to handle a situation in town," he had said, his voice dropping into that low, possessive rumble. He had cupped my face, his thumb grazing my jaw. "Ren and the others are on the perimeter. I’ll be back before the sun is fully up. Stay inside, Christie."I had nodded, watching him disappear into the night. Now, I stood by the window of my old bedroom, my forehead pressed against the cool glass. I was watching the front gate, the rhythmic blink of the security lights the only thing moving in the darkness. I felt like a ghost haunting my own life, caught between the dying world of the Graves family and the wild, unpredictable future Lyon offered.The distant hum of an engine broke my thoughts.I sat up straight, my pulse quickening. I expected to see the

  • Fated To The Human Doctor    Little Victories

    Unknown POV Diane and Anna walked down the wide marble steps of the Don’s estate, their heads held high and their heels clicking rhythmically against the stone. To any onlooker, they looked like the victors of the evening. They had secured a date with the wealthiest man in the room, and they were ready to retreat to their mansion to celebrate their cunning."The Bentley should be right at the base of the fountain," Diane whispered, clutching her silk wrap tightly around her shoulders. "I told the driver to keep the heater on. My feet are absolutely throbbing.""I just want to get out of these shoes and look at the Rutledge family holdings online," Anna replied, her voice filled with greed. "I need to know exactly how many carats I should be asking for on Tuesday."They reached the circular driveway where the rows of luxury cars were parked. Valets in white gloves were scurrying back and forth, opening doors for the city’s elite. Diane led the way to the specific spot where their r

  • Fated To The Human Doctor    Must Wear A Crown

    Unknown POV The heavy scent of perfume and expensive champagne followed Anna as she navigated the crowded ballroom, her eyes scanning for her mother’s familiar silhouette. She found Diane tucked into a corner, pretending to listen to a group of socialites who had spent the last hour ignoring them.With a sharp, decisive movement, Anna grabbed Diane’s arm and pulled her away, ignoring the confused glances from the other women. They retreated toward a secluded velvet curtain where the music was a dull thrum."It’s done!" Anna whispered, her voice buzzing with an adrenaline high. "I handled it, Mom."Diane’s eyes lit up with a predatory spark. She had been observing from across the room, watching the way Rickon’s body language had shifted from distracted to completely obsessed. "I saw his face, Anna. He looked like he was ready to follow you home tonight. Tell me everything. What did he say?""He’s coming to the estate next week,"

  • Fated To The Human Doctor    Holding Attention

    Unknown POV Diane moved toward the edge of the ballroom, joining a group of older matrons who were busy dissecting the tonight’s guest list. She kept her back partially to the crowd, but her eyes remained fixed on the reflection in a nearby gilded mirror. She watched Rickon and Anna. Anna was doing well. She was laughing at the right moments, leaning in to whisper, and maintaining a mask of rapt attention. Rickon looked mesmerized. His large, bulgy eyes were locked onto Anna’s face as if she were the only woman in the building."Your daughter looks radiant tonight, Diane," one of the ladies remarked, following Diane’s gaze. "The Rutledge boy seems quite taken with her.""They have so much in common," Diane lied smoothly. "It’s a rare thing to find two young people so focused on the arts."But the atmosphere shifted. A woman in a dress of shimmering silver silk entered the area near the buffet. She was stunning, with a confidence that dr
