The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0222: It's Getting Easier
Alice’s POVAfternoon dragged like afternoons do. When the last patient left I sat at my desk and watched the light fade off the square.Lisa’s either dead at the bottom of that river or she’s alive somewhere downstream, and nobody in this whole territory can tell me which.Locked up at six. Rell and Tomas were standing in the exact same spot I left them nine hours ago. Neither of them said a word about it.“Back to the Alpha House, Doctor?”“Yeah. Back to the Alpha House.”Walk up was cold and quiet. Cooking smoke hung low over the houses. Windows lit up yellow one by one as we climbed.Front door opened before I could knock. One of the staff stepped back to let me in.“Doctor Watson. Alpha’s in the dining room.”House was warm. Smelled like roasted meat and fresh bread. My stomach flipped so hard I put a hand on it.Walked down the hall. Door was half open. I pushed it wider and just… stopped.Benjamin was setting the table.He’d changed out of the formal shit into a plain shirt wit
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0221: Weird, Not Bad
ALICE’S POVThe two warriors walked me all the way down. One of them went into the clinic first, checked every room, then waved me in.“All clear, Doctor.”“Thanks. What’re your names?”“Rell. That’s Tomas.”“Rell, there’s a bench right inside the door and the heat’s on. You don’t gotta freeze your asses off out here just to do the job.”“We’ll stay out here, Doctor.”“Suit yourselves.”I locked the door behind me and just stood there a minute in the dark waiting room, letting the smell of the place hit me. Antiseptic and dried herbs. Three years of my life in one breath.Then I hung up my coat, put on the white one, unlocked the medicine cabinet, and started counting bottles.Morwen showed up twenty minutes later and took one look at me.“You’re here early.”“Stayed at the Alpha House last night.”Her eyebrows shot up and stayed there. “You did what?”“Benjamin insisted. Lisa’s still missing and he wasn’t about to let me stay alone in that house.”“And you actually agreed.” She hung
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0220: She Stayed
BENJAMIN’S POVAlice passed close enough that her shoulder nearly brushed mine, then went down the row of light switches one after another, steady as she's been through six weeks of nothing but bad hours. I followed her out and waited on the step while she locked up.The walk up to the house was quiet. I kept my pace to hers, my body turned a little toward her, my eyes on the dark between the buildings the whole way. She didn't argue about any of it. She never once told me she could look after herself.I spent the whole walk waiting for her to change her mind — to stop at the crossroads and cut toward her own house, tell me she'd thought better of it. She did neither.The guards at the front door stepped aside as we came up the steps. I took her through the corridors, past the council chamber, past my office— neither of us turned a head toward it — past the hallway to my own floor, to a door she could have found blindfolded.Her old room.I opened it and stepped back out of her way."
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0219: One Night In My Room
Alice’s POV After they left I stood in the empty clinic a minute, then walked back to my office and shut the door behind me.The pouch was on the desk where I'd left it, next to the lamp.Pale cotton, two knots in the cord, the second one tied crooked over the first. Benjamin put it into my hand on my own doorstep the night they sentenced her, and he closed my fingers over it, and he told me he'd been carrying it since the night John's test results came back.I picked it up and held it in my palm.The lavender inside it is nearly finished. You can still find a trace if you hold it close and breathe in, but in another month there'll be nothing left, and it'll only be a small cotton bag a nine-year-old sewed badly.I sat there holding it for a while.Lisa is lying at the bottom of that river with her bones broken, or she's dragging herself along a bank forty miles downstream with the same will that carried her through six weeks of lying to my face. Either one is possible, and nobody al
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0218: Not Gone, Not Really
ALICE'S POVJohn was dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed when I came in, and for the first time in three weeks there was color in his face."Ready to get out of here?""More than ready." He reached for the bag Morwen had packed. "One more night looking at that ceiling and you'll have to admit me for something else."I opened his shirt and checked him one last time.Four claw lines ran across his ribs and up under the collarbone. They were closed now, pink at the edges, no heat in the skin, no sign of infection. Three weeks ago John Marlow was lying open on his own office floor with my hands inside him, and I didn't think he'd live through the night."You're healing better than you have any right to," I said. "So you're going home and you're resting. No shifts. No investigation work. No stairs you don't have to climb.""Yes, Doctor." He almost smiled. "You've told me that once or twice already.""I'll tell you again before you're out the door. I know what you're like."We packed
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0217: I won't Bury One I Haven't Seen
BENJAMIN’S POVTwo days, and we haven't found so much as a shoe.I've been in this office since dark with the same three pages in front of me and I couldn't tell you one word that's on them.I keep getting up and crossing to that window for no reason at all.Callum.Nothing came back down the link. He's been out on that river since first light and he answers me when he has something, not before.I already knew what it was going to be.I've known since the moment the alarm went up, and I'll tell you exactly where I was standing when it did, because I'm going to be carrying that for the rest of my life.I was at the clinic.I'd gone down there to say a thing to Alice Watson that I'd been putting off for six weeks. I was close enough to knock.Then forty warriors' worth of panic came through the link at once. I turned around and ran. I never said it. I still haven't.That's what I got for it. That's what granting a dying woman one hour cost me.Footsteps in the corridor.A knock, and Cal
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
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0005. Kid's First Betrayal
ALICE’S POVThe Blue Moon Festival was Lucian’s idea of heaven and my four-year plan of endurance.He’d been talking about it for weeks—the lanterns, the fireworks, the honey cakes from the booth near the stage. When he’d asked, he’d pressed both hands together like he was praying, eyes wide, and I
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0004. Four Years Too Late
ALICE’S POVThe days that followed had a rhythm I didn’t trust.Benjamin came every morning. He actually sat at the table — something I still hadn’t gotten used to — and ate whatever I put in front of him. He returned every evening and stayed until Lucian’s eyes drifted shut.Four mornings in a row
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
