Betty had been standing at my bedside ever since Alpha Jaron ordered her to watch me. At first she simply hovered, adjusting the blanket whenever she thought I shifted too much, offering water I could barely sip, asking every five minutes if I felt dizzy. I kept telling her I was fine, but the more time passed, the heavier my body felt and the warmer my skin became.

When she leaned in close to check my bandage, her hand brushed my forehead. She froze.

Her eyes widened. She touched my forehead again, and this time her breath caught sharply.

"Doctor Ford, you are burning," she gasped. "You are burning up. This is not normal. This is very high."

I forced a small smile, though my chest felt tight. "Betty, I am okay. Maybe just a little warm. Do not worry."

She shook her head urgently, already stepping back, her hands trembling. "No, no, you are not okay. You look pale and red at the same time. Your skin is almost too hot to touch. Amelia said you needed rest, not a fever like this."

    The word landed between us like a stone dropped into still water, sending ripples of confusion outward. Daniel glanced at me, brows knitted, silently asking if I understood what the Alpha meant.I didn’t.Not fully.But something in Jaron’s eyes told me this wasn’t a conversation meant to be shared so openly.I straightened my spine instinctively, the way I always did when emotions threatened to take control. Years of training had taught me how to compartmentalize, how to lock away feelings and focus on what mattered.Right now, what mattered was his recovery.“Well,” I said lightly, forcing a professional tone as I clapped my hands once, “since everyone is alive and no one is bleeding, I believe we all have work to do.”Daniel let out a small laugh, grateful for the change in direction. “Right. Therapy session.”Jaron’s gaze lingered on me for a moment longer than necessary before he finally nodded. “Yes. Dr. Ford,” he said, his voice controlled again, distant. “Shall we?”I met his

    KAHLIA’S POVIt was not real.The warmth vanished, the softness evaporated, and the words that had wrapped around my heart like a promise dissolved into nothing. My hand was empty. My pulse thundered loudly in my ears, betraying me.I realized it was just my imagination.Shame crashed over me in a suffocating wave.I had been standing there, staring at him like a fool, lost in a fantasy my heart created without permission. My cheeks burned. My fingers curled into my palms as if I could crush the foolish hope forming there.Alpha Jaron was watching me carefully now.“Kahlia?” he said again, using my name this time. “Are you feeling dizzy?”I swallowed hard and forced my lips to curve upward.A smile.A practiced one.The kind you wear when your chest hurts but you don’t want anyone to see the cracks.“Yes,” I said quickly, nodding once. “I’m fine.”The words tasted bitter.I stepped back, putting distance between us, as if that alone could put distance between my thoughts and reality.

    KAHLIA'S POVDays passed quietly after that moment with Betty. I recovered slowly, steadily, enough that the stiffness in my muscles no longer felt like chains around my bones. The bruises lightened into faint shadows and the sharp pain in my ribs softened into a dull ache. I could finally breathe without wincing.Every morning I forced myself to sit up, push the sheets away, fix my bed, fold the blanket, clean the table. I wiped the desk, picked up small things from the floor, dusted the windows. I moved with purpose even when my body complained because I needed to feel alive again. I needed to feel useful, not a fragile thing everyone tiptoed around.Stretching helped. Cleaning helped. Standing on my own two feet again helped most.And every day, in the quiet moments, I reminded myself of the same goal.I needed to finish Alpha Jaron’s treatment sessions as soon as possible.If I did, I could go back to being a normal doctor. I could return to a life where my pulse did not trip over

    ALPHA JARON'S POVThe garden was quiet tonight. Too quiet, but I preferred it that way. The rest of the pack house felt too full, too loud, too suffocating for the kind of thoughts that had been circling in my head since I walked out of her room. Out here, the air at least gave me space to breathe.I sat under the cedar tree at the far edge of the garden, the one place no one usually bothered to come near after dark. I brought a bottle with me, hoping it would help calm what was turning inside my chest. The liquor burned as it went down, sharp and clean, but it did nothing to loosen the knot that had been there for days.I hated feeling like this.I drank again, letting the silence settle. Wolves were not meant to indulge in emotions like these. At least, I never allowed myself to. Love, affection, attachment, anything that could soften an Alpha was something I stayed far away from. I had seen too much damage caused by feelings that blinded judgment. I swore I would never allow myself

    My breath hitched instantly.I straightened at once, instinctively fixing my posture even though my body still felt weak. My heart thudded against my ribs in a frantic, uneven rhythm. I had prepared myself for Betty, for the safety of her presence, for the innocence of water and small talk.But it was not Betty.It was him.Alpha Jaron entered my room as if the space had been built around him. The door shut behind him with a soft click that somehow echoed in my chest. His presence shifted the air, pulling it taut like a string stretched to its limit.His eyes found mine immediately.That cold, unreadable stare, sharp enough to cut through every defense I thought I had left. Yet something flickered there, something too quick, too subtle, too dangerous for me to fully grasp.My tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth.I remembered Betty’s words.He cares for you.He stayed outside.He brought flowers.I shoved the thoughts back violently, afraid they would spill out of me and show on my fa

    My breath caught.For a moment, the room seemed to tilt, the walls drawing in around me. A ridiculous flutter moved across my chest, as if my heart forgot how to beat in any normal rhythm. Flowers? From Alpha Jaron? The same man who could barely speak to me without either issuing a command or crushing me under that cold, impenetrable stare?I stared at Betty, trying to make sense of her words.“He gave them?” I asked slowly, almost in disbelief. “You are saying he actually thought of doing that?”Betty nodded with a nervous swallow. “Yes, Doc. He told me last night.”A confused laugh escaped me before I could stop it. “What? Seriously? Why would he do that?”Betty’s expression softened in a way that made my chest tighten even more. She intertwined her fingers on her lap, her voice lowering again.“Doc… there's one night, before he left your room… he saw your eyes. He saw that you were crying. He tried to act like it did not affect him, but it did. That is why he told me to prepare flo
