Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 73. Old friends and FallsVale
Layla POVTravis and I had already talked yesterday. I was supposed to take a few hours off that morning and drive to FallsVale. I had only planned to stop by the office briefly, review an urgent patient chart, leave my comments, and then set out.Somehow, all of that had gone straight to the back of my mind when I opened my door that morning and found Draven standing there.And now, with him at Healer's Grace to see Travis about something that directly concerned me, I found myself wondering if I should postpone the trip.Part of me wanted to stay.I wanted to know what Draven was going to ask Travis. I wanted to know what Travis would tell him. More importantly, I wanted to know whether the meeting would somehow expose what I had spent years trying to keep hidden.But after reviewing the urgent chart that had brought me into the office before my trip, I knew I couldn't postpone FallsVale.This had to take precedence over everything else.It involved my son.I would find out how Drave
Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 72: Her unsaid requests
Layla POVI wasn't going to rat out my boss. And how the hell did Draven even know?Then I remembered the intercepted delivery and the chief's man who had been detained in Arctic Moon. The pieces came together quickly, and I understood just how much Draven had already uncovered.His frustration flashed across his face as his lips tightened.‘Layla, what would it take for you to stop lying to me?’My heart twisted. For a moment, it didn't feel like he was talking only about Travis. It felt like he was talking about everything.About Seven years ago. And George. The betrayal he believed had happened between us. The things he had apparently never stopped believing.‘I'm not... lying,’ I said.‘Yes, you are. And it doesn't help either of us.’His voice remained controlled, which made the accusation worse.‘I already know Travis is getting a steady supply of masking potion. Are you going to deny that? You can if you want. It doesn't matter. I'm following you to work to see him and ask him
Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 71. Alpha's family breakfast
Layla POVI didn't see or hear from Draven after the phone call. By evening, everything almost looked normal again. The town had settled into its usual rhythm, people had returned to their routines, and Aiden seemed to have forgotten that a few days ago he got lost in the woods. Even the strange males I'd spotted around us several times became part of the scenery. But Draven's absence didn't ease my fears. If anything, it gave my mind more room to replay our conversation. His words stayed with me through the afternoon, through dinner, and long after Aiden had gone to sleep. I kept hearing that calm edge in his voice, the certainty behind every word. I’ll see you two soon. I had no idea what that meant. Other people assumed the increased security in town was because of the attack. No one questioned the unfamiliar faces appearing all around town, and I certainly wasn't going to correct my colleagues. Aiden going back to school was one thing I was secretly grateful for. He neede
Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 70. A midnight meeting 2
The chief had been involved somehow, and now he was on my list. Yet I wasn't convinced about one thing.I didn't believe for a second that he was an Alpha wolf.Ron had to have been mistaken. He'd been injured badly enough to end up on a treatment bed, drugged with painkillers, and fighting to stay conscious. I wasn't going to build a conclusion on one injured warrior's account.But I wasn't going to dismiss it either.The drive to that side of the Realm seemed endless. By the time I reached the town, it was close to midnight.The plan now was to drive straight to the newly-furnished house Nash had arranged for me to use whenever I was in town. Travis would still be at Healer's Grace tomorrow. And I had reasons to be patient.That was probably the sensible choice. I had no reason to believe he would disappear overnight.I was just about to drive past the hospital when I saw him.He had just stepped outside.I slowed the car and pulled over across the street.He exchanged a few words w
Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 69. A midnight meeting
Draven POVRon Robertson was lying on one of the treatment beds when I entered the hospital.He was one of the Gammas who had come with us to contain the disturbance that had spilled into neutral territory. And judging by the bruising across his face and the bandages wrapped around his torso, he'd paid heavily for it.He tried to sit up when he saw me. I held out a hand."Don't trouble yourself."At the same time, Doctor Fennis stepped forward, clearly preparing to protest his movement."His wounds were pretty severe, Alpha," she said. "He'll be all right, but he won't be able to shift for another week. I also recommend complete bed rest during that period."I nodded. That was enough for me.Simon gave her a subtle signal, and after a slight bow, she left the room. The door closed behind her, leaving only Simon, Ron, and me.The warrior looked exhausted.His eyelids were heavy, and it was clear that he was struggling to keep them open. The painkillers and sedatives were obviously stil
Fractured Bond: Hiding the Alpha's heir 68. The son's look-alike
Layla POVMy heart jerked at the sound of those two words. My dad.For a moment, I couldn't think past those two words. I couldn't make sense of how naturally he'd just said them, as though he wasn't referring to someone who had been missing from every single year of his six-year-old life.It felt so strange hearing Aiden talk about his father as though that person had suddenly become real. For six years, I'd managed the subject carefully. I'd explained that his father was far away. He wasn't part of our lives. It had been easier that way.Now Draven had somehow entered that empty space without Aiden even knowing the whole truth.Or… did he know? Had his father spoken to him and told him everything? Behind my back? I was alarmed–“So my dad was in my school, but I didn't see him.” He began heading toward the car, oblivious of the turmoil I was in. “Did you see him?”I shook my head. “No. When? I mean did... Mrs. Randall tell you… his name?”“No. You already said my dad is far from
