LILLIAN POV

The funny feeling about Baron and Wanni was still there in the back of my mind. It was like a small, sharp rock in my shoe. I walked over to the table full of cakes. Salome was there, looking very serious at six different kinds.

As soon as she saw me, her face lit up. “Lillian!” She cried, and pulled me into a big hug.

I smiled. “Have you had anything to drink?”

But she waved her hand dismissively, “One glass of champagne won’t hurt me. But these cakes! Which one? The chocolate or the strawberry?” Then she looked at me closer. “What have you up to? You look thoughtful.”

I sighed deeply. “Dr. Wanni introduced me to….Baron.”

Salome’s eyes went wide. “Baron? The Baron? For the hospital? How did they know each other?”

“I do not know,” I said quietly. “Wanni said they are old friends. Their families go way back.”

Salome glanced across the room. Wanni and Baron were talking now, their heads close together. They did not look like they were at a fun party. They looked serious. “Li

    ANDRE POVI sat in my room by the fire, watching Willow tell a story, with her hands moving as she spoke.“….and little Andre, you stood on that old log. You said you were king of the whole forest! You made me promise to obey you. I had to bring you acorns every day for a week.”I laughed genuinely, even though it sounded rusty in my ears, due to disuse, it felt good. “I forgot about that.”“I have not,” she said with a soft smile on her face. “They are good memories. The only good ones from before…..everything.”I watched her. She was a friend from my childhood, someone I had not seen in years. All day, I had been busy with her. Listening to her stories about when we were kids. Watching her to see what kind of person she was now. She was not cold and mean like Sharon and Elara. She was just Willow. Kind. Easy to be with.Then a sharp pang of guilt twisted my gut. Lillian.I had promised to keep in touch today. I had meant to. But the day passed quickly with Willow, and I forgot.“You

    LILLIAN POVBaron brought my hand to his lips, with his eyes never leaving mine. “Lillian. What a delightful surprise. We meet again.” His lips were cool against my skin and I pulled my hand back gently, as I tried to keep my composure. “Baron, I was not expecting to see you here.” Before I could say any more, “Dr. Wanni cut in, with her head tilted sideways in a curious manner. “You know each other?” Baron chuckled lightly. Then he slid his hands into his pockets, as he looked effortlessly at ease. “Dr. Lillian was my attending physician when I had that unfortunate….incident a few months back. The axe wound on my shoulder, remember? She patched me up quiet nicely.”Wanni widened her eyes as she looked from Baron to me, with a genuine smile breaking across her face. “For real? You were the one who treated him? Oh that is priceless! No wonder he told he was ‘already covered’ when I offered to look at it at the clinic last two months. He said he had the best care already. Now I see w

    LUCAS POVThe next morning, I knocked on Drake’s chamber door.“Enter,” his voice came from inside, already alert.I walked in to find him fully dressed in his formal Alpha attire, straightening his cuffs. “By the Moon, Drake. It is barely dawn. You are a early bird and a workaholic. It is disturbing.”He laughed dryly, “And what does that make you, knocking on my door at this hour?”I walked over to the side table and poured a small glass of whiskey as I ignored his raised eyebrow in my direction. “It makes me a concerned friend who needs fuel. So what is the plan today?”“I have council meeting at nine,” he said he checked his watch. “But first, I need to check on Elara. Briefly.”I snorted into my glass. “Oh no. You are not going alone. Or better yet, let me go check in her. You stay here.”But he shook his head. “And let Salome skin me alive when she finds out I sent you into the viper’s den? No, thank you.”I shrugged. “She does not have to know.”“I can not trust Elara to keep

    ANDRE POVThe young messenger led me down to the main hall, and there she stood. Willow. My childhood best friend. She was looking at a big painting of the forest, with her back to me. She had a little frown on her face as she studied it.My feet stopped moving, for it was really her. After all this time.Then she turned around slowly, like she felt me there. When she saw me, her frown melted instantly into the biggest, happiest smile. “Andre,” she said softly.Then memories hit me hard. Willow Bennett. We were friends since we were babies, before I even met Drake and Lucas. We did everything together. People used to joke that the Moon Goddess meant for us to me mates, and we would just laugh. Then, when we were in eleventh grade, her father got a new job far away. We cried and begged, but he took her anyway. She left, and I never heard from her again.Until now.I walked towards her with slow and steady steps and stopped next to her, then I turned around and looked at the painting s

    LILLIAN POVI was adjusting an IV line when a soft knock sounded at the ward door, and I looked up to see Dr. Wanni peeking in, with a bright smile on her face.“Dr. Lillian! Am I interrupting?”“Not at all,” I said and returned her smile. “Come in, please.”She stepped inside, with her white coat swishing behind her. “I just wanted to thank you in person for accepting my invitation. I know it is short notice, and we have only just met, so it really means a lot.”I waved off her thanks and smiled brightly. “Please it is my honor. You helped me out of a tight spot. That makes you my friend, and I am really happy for you and your promotion.”She leaned against an empty bed, with a warm expression on her face. “You are too kind. I am just glad to have some friendly faces celebrating with me.”“How long have you been working here, anyway?” I asked curiously, “to get promoted to Head of Resident Physicians so quickly is impressive.”“Oh, not too long, actually,” she said with shrug on her
