When I leave the operating room I let the nurses take Frederic to his room, I lock myself in the rest room and lean on the door, I run my hands over my head.

Frederic was Iskander's brother, I didn't want to see that wolf again, which means that if Frederic stays for a long time, Iskander will still be there. My pocket starts to vibrate I take my cell phone and answer

-Hello Vic!

"Tell me you went to get the checkups I told you about." He looked through the screen at Rebecca while she was eating breakfast.

"It's only been a day since you left," she says, I look at her seriously. "Likewise, Rose already took care of getting me an appointment. "Rest assured, you left me in good hands," she tells me with a smile.

"I know, take the vitamins they give you," I warn her, she rolls her eyes.

-You are behaving like my mother or worse like my partner - he says to which I laugh.

- Well, take care of yourself and talk to Rose about anything, I have to go to work. bye - cut the call

I put my cell phone away, I'll call later when I'm not running, I leave the room and go back to my routine.

Once I finished checking on my patients, I stood at the door of Frederic's room... my old friend and only ally looked at the room where he was lying, he seemed asleep, someone stood next to me, I looked at him out of the corner of my eye, the same young man who brought him with the woman

"He'll be fine," he says, to which he smiled as if he were trying to comfort me or himself.

"I know, I operated on him," I say, he looks at me with a smile, a copy of Frederic without a doubt. "What happened to him?" Why couldn't his pack doctor stop him? - asked

-Hunters attacked the pack- he tells me- the pack doctor was injured so it was our only option to bring him - I just nod.

-Your... uncle- I dare to ask - won't he come? - the young man looks at me confused

"He was taking care of the pack, I guess he'll come when he's free," he says, looking at me, I nod.

"It's better that he doesn't come," I say. "It's intensive care, he can't see many people in the area," I say, moving away from them.

Damn...should I prohibit him from entering if he arrives? It wouldn't be worse and it would generate another conflict. I come out of my thoughts when I hear someone talking to me.

- Hello Vic - They talk to me behind my back, I frown, not knowing, he greets me.

- Excuse me, do I know you? - I say giving him a smile

- No, well I guess not, I work in the ambulance - he tells me - and well I always see you around this area and I wanted to know if you wanted to go for a drink

"I'm on guard," I tell him.

- It can be whenever you want - he tells me with a smile which disconcerts me.

Is he asking me out?

- Dr. they are requesting you in room five - the nurse speaks to me.

"Emm, I have to go, but if I have a coffee, I'll take you later." He smiled and walked to Frederic's room where Amelia was connecting an IV. "What happened?" Why do you call me?

- I saw you talking to the ambulance doctor - he says after verifying that it is in order.

- Did you call me for this? - I ask her to which she smiles at me

- Of course, why else? Giving her an IV is easy - she talks to me when I'm about to answer I see that Frederic's eyes are open - welcome sir - she says with a smile she looks in my direction and frowns

- We'll talk about this later - I point my finger at Amelia who laughs - How does he find you? - I ask him

He tries to sit down slowly. Amelia helps him and I brought him a glass of water, which he drinks.

- well, a little dizzy - he says - hi Vic - he smiles at me to which I smile back

"Hello, dear friend," I tell him, "you gave your wife and son a nice scare," I tell him.

"And us," I hear Amelia murmur as she notes her heart rate on the tablet. "Hello, I'm Dr. Price."

- Hello - he says - my wife?

- I haven't seen her but I think your son was around - I answer - Shall I call him? - He nods and I go out in search of the boy. Since I don't see him, I approach the counter where there is a nurse. - You tell the boy who accompanies the patient in bed five that he can come see him. - She nods.

I decide to sign some papers when I see big arms locking me against the counter, I hold my breath when I feel that aroma, I could feel his chest on my back, he brings his face closer to my ear, my wolf was restless, she wanted to get out of those arms

-Hello little wolf- my breathing stopped, the walls of that place began to get closer, I think I was panicking, yes it is definitely panic, I try to breathe but somehow it seems that I had forgotten how to do it

I had my nightmare behind me, and all my body was doing was collapsing.

- uncle - I hear the voice of Frederic's son, he separates from me slowly while I breathe again, I look at the boy looking at us confused, I don't wait and I walk away from there, locking myself in the doctors' room, I open the windows so that the wind can blow

I knew that at some point this was going to come, either because of Rebecca or because of Frederic, it's as if life and the moon goddess wanted to reunite me with Iskander.

I leave the room finding the hallways empty on my way to reception again in search of the papers to discharge Frederic. The faster he goes the better I didn't want Iskander near me, he only caused physical and mental damage

A chill runs through my body again when I name it. The fact of naming it gave me chills. But something comforted me: he couldn't do anything to me, I was safe from that beast...

I just had to not provoke it and ignore it

Because I knew that if I tempted the beast he would come for me....
