Mara

By seven thirty, the clinic was finally quiet. No barking. No phones ringing. No werewolves appearing with mystery injuries. Just the hum of the refrigerator in the medication room and Tessa aggressively wiping down the front counter like it had personally offended her.

I sat at the reception desk with Alder Creek's file open in front of me. Fourteen cases. Fourteen wolves who were supposedly healed and still living with pain, the notes blurring slightly under the fluorescent light.

    MaraHe lifted the gun, this time directly at me, and I froze completely."Mara," Tessa whispered.I didn't look away from him. "Those animals have nothing to do with this.""Then call Vale.""I told you, I don't know where he is.""You know how to get him here.""No."The first man grabbed a metal tray from the counter and hurled it against the wall. The crash made every animal in the back lose its mind completely, dogs barking, a cat screaming, something slamming against a kennel door. My chest tightened painfully. "Stop fucking doing that!"The gunman stepped closer. "Call him.""No."Behind me, Tessa moved, tiny, barely anything, toward the desk. Toward the phone. The first man saw her. His hand shot out and grabbed her by the arm.Tessa screamed.Everything inside me stopped. "Let her go."He dragged her toward him, and she stumbled. "Mara.""Let her go!"My voice changed. I heard it. So did they. The joking disappeared entirely. The panic disappeared. There was only one thing l

Fourteen cases. Fourteen wolves who were supposedly healed and still living with pain, the notes blurring slightly under the fluorescent light."This is how it starts," Tessa said.I didn't look up. "How what starts?""You becoming famous.""I'm not famous.""Three werewolves drove across pack lines to see you.""For a shoulder.""Sure."I flipped another page. "Caleb probably needs imaging.""You heard it here first. Dr. Mara Bennett, supernatural orthopedic consultant.""I'm a veterinarian.""Werewolf veterinarian.""No.""Paranormal specialist.""No.""Dog doctor to the stars."I looked up. "That one was offensive."She grinned, entirely t

  • Please Keep Your Alpha On A Leash   Chapter 61: The Pack That Came to Her

    MaraAt eleven seventeen the next morning, three strangers walked into my clinic.I knew immediately. Not because they were growling, and not because anyone announced themselves. All three of them moved like Kieran's people did. Too quiet. Too aware. Too controlled.The woman in front looked to be in her late forties, with dark hair braided tightly down her back. Behind her stood a younger man with one arm held slightly away from his body and another woman carrying a leather medical bag.Tessa looked at me. I looked at Tessa. Her eyebrows rose.Werewolves. Great.The older woman stepped forward. “You're Mara Bennett?”“That depends.”Her expression tightened. “On?”“Whether you're here to kill me or ask why your shoulder still hurts even though it healed six months ago.”The younger man froze. I pointed at him.“That one.”His brows shot up. The older woman slowly looked at his shoulder, then back at me. Interesting.“I'm Lenora Hayes.” She held out her hand. “Healer for Alder Creek.”

    KieranI watched Mara walk away through the healer building window. She stopped halfway to her car, and for one stupid second, hope surged through me.Turn around.My wolf lifted his head.Mate.Mara didn't turn around. She stood there for several seconds, gripping the strap of her medical bag. Then she kept walking. The car door opened and closed. The engine started, and she was gone.Fuck.“She came anyway.”I closed my eyes. Sabine. Of course.“I know.”She stepped beside me. “You called and she came.”“You called.”“You know what I mean.”I looked through the empty window. “Someone was hurt.”“Exactly.”I turned.Sabine folded her arms. “She knew she would see you.”“I'm aware.”“She came anyway.”“Sabine.”“I'm making a point.”“I don't want the point.”“That has never stopped Mara from making one.”That almost hurt enough to be funny. Almost. Sabine's expression softened.“She left you, Kieran.”My jaw tightened. “I noticed.”“She did not leave your pack.”No. Apparently she had

    MaraSabine called at 4:17 in the afternoon.I knew because I stared at the screen for three full rings before answering.Not Kieran. Sabine. That should not have disappointed me.It did."Hey.""Mara."Something in her voice made me straighten."What happened?""We have three patrol wolves coming in."My stomach dropped. "Injuries?""Yes.""How bad?""One moderate. Two significant.""Significant how?""Silver involved."I was already moving. "Where?""Our healer building."I grabbed my emergency bag from beneath the counter. "How long until they arrive?""Ten minutes.""Conscious?""All three.""Any major blood loss?""One.""Breathing?""Stable for now.""Tell me exactly what happened.""We don't know yet. They were near the northern boundary."Northern. Ravenholt.Fuck."I'm coming."Sabine hesitated. "You don't have to.""Yes, I do.""Mara.""Medical only."Silence.Then quietly, "I understand."I didn't know if I believed her. I barely believed myself.Tessa looked up from recept

    MaraI was examining a bulldog's ear when Tessa appeared in the doorway. She didn't say anything. She just stood there. I looked up."What?"Her eyebrows rose."What?""You have a visitor.""Does my visitor have fur?""No.""Then tell them I'm busy.""I don't think she's going to leave."She. My stomach dropped."Tessa.""She's very pretty."Fuck."And terrifying."Double fuck. I slowly straightened."Selene?"Tessa nodded. "Selene."The bulldog chose that moment to shake his head hard enough to send ear cleaner across my scrub top. I closed my eyes."Perfect."Tessa bit her lip. "Want me to tell her you died?""She'd probably ask to see the body.""Good point."I finished the exam, spoke with the owner, prescribed treatment for a straightforward ear infection, and took longer than necessary washing my hands.Selene was waiting when I finally walked into reception. Alone. No ruling cane. No expensive mother. No Kieran. Just Selene. She looked tired. Not messy. I wasn't sure the woman w
