"I told you five years ago, Richard—your Omega is dead. I’m just the man paid to keep your father’s heart beating. Don’t confuse a business contract with a deathbed confession." Five years ago, Joshua Harrington was the "discarded runt" of the Harrington Pack. On a rain-slicked highway, his Alpha husband, Richard, made a choice: he saved his "fated mate," Bianca, and left a pregnant Joshua to plummet over a cliffside. The world mourned the weak Omega. The Pack moved on. Richard lived with a hollow chest and a "fated bond" that felt more like a cage than a blessing. But ghosts don't always stay buried. When the Harrington Patriarch is struck by a lethal silver-poisoning, only one surgeon in the world can perform the impossible: Dr. J, a cold, clinical genius who smells of sterile steel and holds the life of the Harrington lineage in his hands. When Dr. J walks into the boardroom, Richard’s wolf howls in recognition. But the man standing there isn't the submissive boy who used to wait up for him. Joshua is icy, powerful, and utterly indifferent to Richard’s Alpha command. He has a secret in the city—a son with Richard’s eyes and a "Silver-Rank" aura that could topple the Pack’s entire hierarchy. Richard wants his husband back. Joshua wants a divorce settlement. As the truth about the "fated mate" bond begins to unravel, Richard realizes he didn't just lose a spouse—he betrayed the True Blood heir. Now, the CEO Alpha must become a beggar, chasing a man who no longer needs him, in a world where a scalpel is deadlier than a claw. He left him to die. Now, he’ll have to learn how to live for him.

Good grammer, the story had promise. but in 14 chapters, it feels like I'm reading two different drafts of the same story, with the chapters out of order.

CHAPTER 1
"What the hell are you doing, Richard? The rogues are through the west perimeter!"The rain slammed against the forest floor, turning the earth into a swamp of pine needles and blood. Joshua gripped his swollen stomach, his knuckles white against the dark fabric of his tunic. A sharp, jagged heat flared deep in his gut—not a contraction, but a warning.Richard didn’t look back. His eyes were locked on Bianca, who slumped against an oak tree fifty yards away, her hand pressed daintily to her forehead."She’s hyperventilating, Josh! I have to get her to the healers!" Richard’s voice cracked over the thunder."I’m pregnant, Richard!" Joshua screamed, the sound tearing his throat. "Your child is in me! The rogues—they’re right behind us!"Richard scooped Bianca into his arms. He paused for a fraction of a second, his gaze flickering toward Joshua’s distended belly, then back to Bianca’s pale face. "You’re an Omega. You’re built to hide. Just stay down and mask your scent. I’ll be back. I

CHAPTER 2
FIVE YEARS LATER----"Scalpel."Joshua’s voice didn’t wobble. It was a flat, surgical blade of sound that cut through the rhythmic beep-hiss of the ventilator. The overhead lights bounced off the chrome, stabbing at his retinas. Under the blue drape, the patient—Alpha Silas of the Red River—was a mountain of sliced meat and broken ribs."Dr. J, his BP is tanking. Eighty over forty," the anesthesiologist barked."I know. Shut up and keep him under." Joshua jammed two fingers into the Alpha’s chest cavity, searching for the nicked artery. Hot, metallic-smelling blood flooded over his latex gloves, soaking into his sleeves. "Clamps. Now!"The nurse scrambled. The metal clicked. The geyser of blood died down to a sluggish ooze. Joshua worked with a frantic, rhythmic precision, his hands weaving through the gore. He didn't think about the fact that this man could snap his neck with one hand. He didn't think about the scent of Alpha pheromones filling the room, trying to trigger a submissio

CHAPTER 3
"What the hell do you mean the equipment isn't calibrated?"Richard’s voice boomed through the mahogany doors of the boardroom before Joshua even touched the handle. It was the same abrasive, jagged edge that used to make Joshua’s knees buckle.Not today.Joshua adjusted the high collar of his charcoal suit, the fabric stiff against his throat. Underneath the silk, a patch hummed against his carotid artery, leaking a steady stream of synthetic chemical masking agents. He smelled like a sterile lab—bleach, ozone, and cold steel. Nothing else. No wolf. No Omega. No past.He pushed the door open.The air in the room was thick enough to choke on. Richard stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his shoulders straining against his tailored jacket. Bianca was huddled in one of the leather chairs, her face a mask of practiced fragility. She was dabbing at her eyes with a lace handkerchief."Richard, please," Bianca whimpered. "The doctor is just trying to be careful. My chest... it hurts so muc

CHAPTER 4
"Who are you? Seriously. Put the chart down."Helen Harrington stood in the center of the sterilized hallway, her fingers trembling against the silk of her pearls. She looked older. Gray hair streaked through the chestnut waves that used to be her pride. Her eyes, wet and wide, scanned Joshua’s face like she was trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces.Joshua didn't flinch. He adjusted the stethoscope around his neck, the metal cold against his skin. "I'm the surgeon you hired, Mrs. Harrington. Dr. J. Now, if you’ll move, I have a schedule to keep.""No." She stepped closer, her breath hitching. "The way you tilt your head... your eyes. You look just like him. My Joshua. My son."Joshua’s stomach did a slow, nauseating roll. He remembered the last time he’d seen this woman. She’d turned her back on him while Richard dragged Bianca away, her silence a sharp blade that helped carve out his heart."Your son is dead, Mrs. Harrington. I’m from a distant lineage out of the northern ter

CHAPTER 5
"Back off, Harrington. Now."Joshua shoved against Richard’s chest, his palms hitting solid, unyielding muscle. The elevator air turned thick, charged with the Alpha’s frantic, heavy scent of pine and predatory heat. Richard didn't move. He loomed closer, his shadow swallowing Joshua against the mirrored wall."You got some nerve," Richard growled, his face inches from Joshua’s. He inhaled deeply, nostrils flaring. "That scent mask is thick. What are you hiding? Why do you have his eyes?"Joshua sneered, his lip curling with a practiced, icy disdain. He reached up and sharply flicked the Alpha’s tie. "What I have is a medical degree and a very busy schedule. If you want to play detective, do it on your own time. You're acting like a damn lunatic. Is this how the Harrington Pack treats specialists? No wonder your father is rotting from the inside out."Richard’s jaw tightened, the bone jumping under his skin. "Don't talk about my father.""Then let me go. Or find someone else to fix yo

CHAPTER 6
"Hold still. If you twitch, I’ll nick the femoral artery and you’ll bleed out on my boots."Joshua leaned over the sentry, the sterile LED overheads reflecting in his safety goggles. The wolf, a massive brute named Kael, gripped the edges of the metal exam table until the steel groaned and buckled under his claws. A jagged shard of silver-tipped rebar was buried four inches into his thigh. The wound hissed, the flesh around it bubbling and black."Doc, it stings like a bitch," Kael wheezed, sweat matting his hairline.Joshua didn't answer. He didn't waste breath on comfort. He centered himself. He reached deep into the place where his wolf used to howl and pulled at the warmth buried in his marrow. His palms began to glow. It wasn't a flare; it was a soft, steady pulse of pale gold light that seeped through his latex gloves.The sentry’s breathing hitched. The blackened skin around the silver shivered. As Joshua’s fingers brushed the wound, the metal shard slid out as if the flesh wer

CHAPTER 7
"Check the monitors. Again. The vent is sticking."Joshua didn't look up from the syringe. He pushed a needle into the rubber seal, drawing a precise dose of clear, cold liquid. The air in the Patriarch’s suite was stagnant, smelling of iron and the slow rot of silver-burned lungs. Edward Harrington lay pinned to the silk pillows, his chest barely lifting. His skin looked like wet parchment stretched over a skull.The old man’s eyelids fluttered. They snapped open, cloudy and bloodshot.Joshua leaned over the bed. The surgical light reflected in his lenses, hiding his eyes. He reached out, his fingers wrapping around Edward’s wrist. The pulse was a thready, desperate stutter under the skin.Edward’s mouth opened. A dry, clicking sound came from his throat. His vocal cords, scorched by the silver toxin, refused to vibrate. He looked at Joshua. Really looked. The cloudiness cleared for a heartbeat. His pupils dilated, the black swallowing the iris as he tracked the line of Joshua’s jaw,

CHAPTER 8
"Dr. J! Where the hell are you going? We have the evening rounds!"Joshua didn’t stop. He shoved past the head nurse, his shoulder clipping the doorframe of the scrub room. His phone was a dead weight in his pocket, the screen still glowing with the frantic text from the nanny. Henry’s burning up. He’s growling, Josh. The room smells like ozone and fur."Family emergency," Joshua barked over his shoulder. He didn't look back to see the confusion on the staff’s faces. He ripped the surgical mask from his face, the elastic snapping against his ear.Outside, the sky had collapsed into a torrential downpour. Thunder rattled the windows of the Harrington medical wing. Joshua sprinted for his SUV, his boots splashing through deep puddles that soaked his hemlines. He ignored the sting of the cold rain. His mind was a chaotic loop of heart rates and fever dreams. A First Shift fever at five years old was a death sentence without a stabilizer.Behind the tinted glass of the executive entrance,

CHAPTER 9
"What the hell are you looking for, Harrington?"The lock on the office door clicked shut behind Joshua. Richard didn't flinch. He stood by the mahogany desk, his massive frame silhouetted against the hospital’s sterile LED hum. He had a pair of tweezers in one hand and a glass specimen jar in the other. He’d been hunting for a hair, a skin cell, a smudge of saliva—anything to feed to the lab for a DNA match.The room smelled like ozone and pine, the scent of Richard’s growing obsession clashing with the sharp scent of Joshua’s chemical mask."You're a clean freak, Doctor," Richard rasped. He didn't turn around. He ran a finger along the edge of the computer monitor. "Not a single stray hair. No coffee cup left behind. It’s like you don't even exist when you leave this room.""It's called hygiene. You should try it sometime instead of skulking in the dark like a stray." Joshua tossed his keys onto the side table. The metal rang against the glass. He leaned against the door, arms cross

CHAPTER 10
"What the hell was that, Doctor?"Richard’s voice scraped against the sterile walls of the clinic. He didn't move from the doorway. His shadow stretched across the floor, thick and suffocating. The air in the room shifted, turning heavy with the scent of pine and predatory intent.Joshua didn't look up from the tray of surgical instruments. He picked up a hemostat, the metal cold and biting against his palm. "It was a physiological response to a localized irritant, Harrington. Get out of my light.""A skip," Richard snarled. He took a step forward, the floorboards groaning under his weight. "Your heart tripped. I felt it under my palm. You don't get to lie about that.""I’m not lying." Joshua finally turned, his face a sheet of polished ice. He adjusted the high collar of his suit, the fabric stiff against the skin Richard had just been hunting. "Your pheromones are offensive. They’re aggressive, unrefined, and frankly, they smell like a desperate animal. My body is reacting to a biol
