Ashley’s P.O.V.

I flinched irrepressibly as Dr. Alex’s hands froze mid-assessment. Vincenzo strode into the room like a thunderstorm wrapped in a tailored black suit.

“What the hell is going on here? Is this a hospital?”

He growled, narrowing instantly on where the doctor’s hands still hovered over my chest. Feeling uncomfortable, I pulled the gown tight reflexively, startled and mortified all at once.

“Alpha, it’s an examination room. Why did you barge inside without knocking?”

Dr. Alex also took a step back, both hands up.

“Alpha, this is a basic medical examination. I am checking her for potential musculoskeletal issues related to shortness of breath and …”

“You!!!”

Vincenzo snapped, his voice vibrating with fury.

“You touch her like that again, and you will be examining your hands in a cast.”

My heart pounded in my chest as I got up quickly.

“You are overreacting, Alpha. He is just doing his job.”

Vincenzo turned deaf ears towards my explanation, holding his groun

  • Fated bonds: Her Cure, His Regret   Chapter 88

    Ashley’s P.O.V.I gawked at him, caught off guard by his question. His accurate guess left me at a loss for words. For a moment, I wanted to lie and say no, pretending that I was fine like I always did.But the sudden ache in my chest didn’t let me do so. I bit back a whimper and admitted quietly.“Yes, I am. But it’s not a big deal. Pain and I ...” I gave a soft, humorless laugh. “We have been partners for a long time. It stays with me day and night like a loyal friend.”Dr. Alex’s gaze sharpened. “That’s exactly why I am insisting, Luna Ashley. You shouldn’t be in constant pain. That’s not strength, it’s suffering.”The concern in his voice focused on the urgency of this matter. I looked away as he continued. “Your wolf is gone. And your bond is incomplete despite the marking, pulling you from every direction. This kind of instability is dangerous for your physical and emotional health. I can’t let that go untreated. You are my patient, Luna.”“I am not weak!” I spoke up i

  • Fated bonds: Her Cure, His Regret   Chapter 87

    Ashley’s P.O.V.My response hung heavily in the air, creating an invisible wall between us. Vincenzo’s entire body stilled as he gasped in disbelief.“No?”The pain in his voice cut through my heart, urging me to clarify the situation. I paused, struggling to find the suitable words to convey my message. “I didn’t say never, Vincenzo. Just not yet. It’s too early.”“But why?”Alpha asked at once. His voice was laced with more confusion than hurt, but I could see countless questions rising in his eyes.“You have marked me, Ashley. You said you forgave me. Then why?Why are you not willing to take that cursed rejection back when it’s the only thing that’s keeping us apart?”He began to cough after speaking nonstop, hitching my heart to my throat. I got up and fed him water, caressing his back. “It’s not about forgiveness, Vincenzo.”I spoke softly, hoping that these words would settle the tension in his chest. But they didn’t!Vincenzo knitted his brows, his eyes observed

    Ashley’s P.O.V. Carson looked up to Vincenzo for support, but Alpha’s lips were already curving in amusement. I snapped, narrowing my eyes at both of them. “You are awake for five minutes and let him crawl into your space. This is unfair!” As Alpha didn’t help him, Gamma Carson lifted his hand in mock surrender, though I didn’t miss the slight smirk tugging up his lips. “Relax, Ashley. I was just checking on my Alpha and updating him on everything he missed.” I crossed my arms, glaring at him as he gave me a silly excuse. Vincenzo was still pale, the IV dripping slowly at his side, his chest moving with tired breaths. But it didn’t stop Carson from bringing up work. “Report?” I scoffed. “Which report, Carson? Can’t you see he is sick? Alpha isn’t in the condition to be burdened with pack affairs right now.” Carson made a face like a scolded pup, hands still slightly raised. “Look, Ashley. I just wanted to visit Vincenzo. Meanwhile, I thought I should tell him …” “Luna!” T

    Ashley’s P.O.V.Luna’s eyes were filled with fear; her voice cracked in a way that shattered me. “I have been calling him. But he isn’t waking up. He isn’t …”My stomach twisted painfully. “What?”I rushed forward, heart thundering in my chest again. Fear swallowed me as a whole as I followed Dr. Alex and Luna Rose back into the room. Vincenzo was lying peacefully just as I left him earlier.His head was turned slightly towards the pillow, lashes resting against his pale cheeks, lips parted with steady breath.“Vincenzo!” I whispered, my voice rose as I moved to his side. “Alpha … Please answer me!”Dr. Alex placed his hand on my shoulder and spoke.“Step back, Ashley. Let me examine him!”He checked Vincenzo’s vitals swiftly: monitors, heartbeat, pulse, pupils’ dilation. I stood there frozen, the seconds dragging like centuries. Luna Rose clasped her hands together, begging for the goddess’s mercy. We both were desperately waiting for some good news when finally, the doctor straig

  • Fated bonds: Her Cure, His Regret   Chapter 84

    Ashley’s P.O.V.Taking a deep breath, I carefully sat on the edge of his hospital bed, the sterile sheets crinkling under my weight, as I eased closer. Without thinking, I lay my head gently on Vincenzo’s chest, my hand resting just about his heart. His heartbeat was steady and smooth, ringing in my ears like a beautiful symphony. The rhythm of it calmed the war inside me, pulling tears from my eyes as I closed them in silent gratitude. “I forgive you, Vincenzo!”My voice was barely above a whisper as I said.“For the past, for everything! I just want to be with you for the rest of my life.”I sniffled softly, my tears dampening the thin fabric of his hospital gown. “Wake up and just tell me how much you love me, Vincenzo. I can’t live without you anymore.”Inhaling deeply, I relished his faint scent, no longer just crisp pinewood and musk. Now my scent was weaved into his, a soft wisp of wild flowers and vanilla beneath the storm. My heart raced as a realization hit me h

  • Fated bonds: Her Cure, His Regret   Chapter 83

    Ashley’s P.O.V.Hearing about my wolf, I looked away, the weight of her name made my chest constrict. I sighed dejectedly.“She is gone!Since I woke up after marking … She is just … not there.”My throat tightened with pain.“There’s no sign of her presence, only darkness. It’s like the bond has taken her from me, as Dr. Alex warned us.”Jenna’s expressions softened with concern. She spoke softly.“You have been through hell, Ashley. You nearly died bringing Alpha back. So, it can be nothing. Perhaps your wolf is in deep healing.”“I feel like a ghost!”My grip tightened on the pillow as I expressed my unease. “My body is too weak and I can’t walk a few steps without panting hard. There is an invisible strain on my skin, making me feel restless. And pain …”A wave of agony coursed through my body as I shuddered, biting down a whimper. “It’s unbearable.”However, Jenna disregarded my condition, clinging to her former point.“Sounds like your first heat to me, Ash.
