The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0196: Suspicion Is Not Proof
Benjamin’s POV She'd changed her scrubs. There was still blood under her nails, in the beds, where it goes and stays. Her eyes went along the desk — the cloth, the notes, the sleeve with the confession in it — and then up to me."Tell me the truth.""Alice—""Nobody attacks John over medical records." She came another step in. "That man has no enemies. He has no rivals. He has nothing anybody in this territory would want except what he knows."Callum looked at the floor."Somebody tried to kill him for what was in his head," she said. "So what is it you are not telling me?"I looked at Drake. I looked at Callum.She'd been accused in an open chamber, shunned in her own market, and still trusted with the pack's children inside the week because there was nobody else. Called a murderer to her face, and she got up the next morning and unlocked that door anyway."Everybody out except Callum and Drake."The room emptied. I waited for the latch."We no longer believe Cora Maren killed Lily"
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0195: Five Weeks Of Lie
BENJAMIN'S POVI shut the clinic at seven that morning and put four wolves on it, and not one of them was there to keep patients out. They were there in case somebody came back to finish the job they started on John.The rest of that morning came at me in pieces. Reports carried in quiet and handed over quiet, evidence bagged and signed for, a widow at the barrier who wanted to know whether the doctor was dead. I told her he wasn't and watched her decide whether to believe it. The smell wouldn't come off me all day.Alice hadn't left him.Through the glass I could see the whole of it — her chair pulled around to the side of the bed, two fingers laid on the inside of his wrist, Morwen on the other side changing dressings and putting a light in his eyes every quarter hour, writing down what it did. Steady hands. The same hands that had been inside him at six that morning were putting in a line straight at eleven.I've seen those wounds, and I've seen how much blood came out on that floo
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0194: Cold On The Floor
ALICE’S POVCallum came up those stairs first, took one look, and started giving orders nobody had asked him for. Every window. Both doors. Two on the front, one on the yard, nobody in or out of this building.Benjamin and Drake came in behind him.Benjamin stopped in the doorway."Is he alive?""Barely breathing." I got up off the floor. My hands were red to the wrist. "Four claw wounds, shoulder and chest. Head injury where he went into the desk. He's lost a great deal of blood. He's stable, and he needs watching every hour.""How long has he been here?""Hours. He's cold, Benjamin. If I'd come in ten minutes later—" I stopped. That sentence had nowhere good to go.Benjamin held my gaze for a moment longer. Then he turned to the room. The broken window. The blood on the floor. The open drawers.Drake had gone straight to the desk.He crouched at the broken drawer and looked at the lock without touching it."What was he working on.""The investigation. All of it. He keeps a notebook.
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0193: Barely A Pulse
ALICE'S POVMy journal was still on my desk, right where I'd left it. That's the only reason I was at the clinic at ten past six that morning.There was a study in it on muscle recovery after a shift, and I'd been too tired the night before to walk back for it. I told myself it would still be there when I get back.Six o'clock, then. The sky was barely up. Nothing moving across the whole compound except a man carrying feed down toward the paddock.The two guards on the perimeter nodded me through."Early start, Doctor." One of them said."Forgot something." I replied, walking ahead.The waiting room was dark. Reception empty, chairs still stacked where the night girl leaves them. I noticed the light in John's office was still on.Of course it was. That man had slept at that desk twice this month, and I'd told him about it but I guess he won’t quit until someone send him home by forceI went up those stairs putting the words together for the third time. Four steps from the top, and my
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0192:He Knew Everything
LISA'S POVHalf past eleven put me in the trees behind the clinic, because the doctor was the one man in this territory I'd run out of time on.Benjamin's still who everything runs through. That hasn't changed. But I can't turn four men against each other in a week, and John Marlow doesn't need a week. He keeps finding things. Every few days there's one more, and he writes each one down in that book of his, and one morning he carries it up the hill and lays it in front of Benjamin, and I'm finished. So it was never the man I wanted tonight. It was the book.The old footpaths took me down — the ones Cora showed me fifteen years ago, out after wild garlic. The clinic emptied one window at a time. Morwen first, collar up against the cold. Two assistants after her, talking the whole way down the path. The ground floor went dark in a run from the far end, the way Alice always does it. One light stayed on. His office.An hour in those trees and I couldn't feel my fingers. A car came up th
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0191: Exactly What I Needed
JOHN’S POVBenjamin came into my clinic at twenty past nine with Callum a step behind him and Drake a step behind Callum, and I had a young warrior's ankle in both hands at the time.Morwen got to me first."They're in your office. All three.""Then they can be in my office another four minutes."I finished the wrap. I told the boy to stay off that foot for three days, to come back if the swelling climbed past the bone. He said yes. He will not do it. They never do.Then I went through.Benjamin was at the window. Callum had the door. Drake had put himself against my bookcase with his arms crossed, and the sealed pouch with the blue cloth in it sat on my desk where somebody had set it down and nobody had touched it since.Benjamin did not spend any time getting to it."We've missed something.""Go on.""One of the young ones on the search. Barely two years on patrol." He came off the window. "He told Callum there was soap under the herbs on that cloth. Floral. Almost nothing left of i
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0003. Don't Get Used To It
ALICE’S POVBy the time I walked into the hospital room, I had composed myself completely. My face was set.Lucian was awake, sitting up in bed. His face brightened the moment he saw me."Mommy. You came back.""I came back." I lifted him into my arms. He smelled like baby shampoo, antiseptic, and
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0002: Thirty Days of Dad
Alice’s POV"What?""Is this your new plan? To trap me again?" Benjamin’s voice dripped with contempt. "Did you run out of tricks, Alice? Is faking our son’s terminal illness really the best you could come up with?"I couldn’t breathe. The hospital hallway seemed to close in around me, the walls pr
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0001:One Month Left
ALICE’S POVI hadn't slept. I'd counted his breaths instead.It had been four hours since Lucian collapsed at breakfast. Four hours since I’d screamed loud enough to wake every wolf on our floor of the western wing. Now the monitors did the counting for me — soft, steady, mechanical as my son slept
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0006: He is a Mistake
ALICE’S POVI should have taken Lucian home.I should have picked him up, carried him away from this festival of false joy and false hope, and tucked him into bed with a story, a kiss, and a promise that tomorrow would be better.But I didn’t. Because Lucian wanted to see the fireworks. And I could
