Danica's POV
"This isn't fair. I'm still injured" I whined for the twentieth.. or was it the thirtieth time? But this time I stretched my two hands at him, showing him my bandaged hands with a pout on my lips."You're going to be fine" He muttered again, pulling up the zipper in front of the tank top I changed into."How?!" I exclaimed and he cut me off with a strong pull at my waist.One hand held me close to him and the other hand snaked up my chin, holding me in place as he muttered "like this" Then his lips found mine.The kiss felt different. Hot but different nonetheless. It wasn't the usual knees-weakening kiss, it was one that sent relief through every inch of my body. I could clearly feel the dull ache in my hand disappear.Like one of those kisses I remembered having while I was unconscious.When he eventually stopped and detached our lips, I was breathing hard to catch my breath, my lids blinking severally wiAlexander's POV I saw Danica for the last time when I took her to her room last night. And her words left me feeling more relaxed than I ever did while planning for a trip to this godforsaken Pack.A Pack where the Alpha was like a puppet to his wife.It wasn't through luck that she got to have me in her Pack this time. It was because I've had my speculations about them and I wanted to see it for myself. Besides, we do need their partnership. The Pack's decisions might be led by the woman, but she at least made it grow instead of running it straight to the ground.I'd applaud her for that anytime.But first things first. We deal with her overbearing self and see how things go. I had zero expectations from here anyway.Before that, I had a gift to prepare. I promised to give Danica a reward if she aced her last surgery. She did. And I wasn't one to derange from my words either.So right now I had to prepare som
Danica's POV "You know, that bracelet of yours gave me a kind of burning feeling when I tried to take it off your wrist when you were unconscious," Alexander muttered, still carrying me like a baby... a big baby."Really? It... burned?" I asked, amused yet even more confused because I was beginning to think 'HIM' could be someone like my mate or someone I could trust. But if it burned Alexander, what was that supposed to mean?Was he going to become a big jerk to me eventually too? Or was it just someone else entirely?I wished it was simply the latter.The thought of Alexander screwing me over after all these... After I'd unintentionally given my heart to him even when I vowed not to, killed me. I can't imagine what would happen if he did screw me over.I'd probably go completely out of my mind."It did, and that was when I realized it wasn't just a regular tacky bracelet. Not that I would ever call it tacky to you because it suits you," He quickly added, and I laughed. Not those u
Danica's POV The guards and Scarface left at once after that annoying yet funny yell Alexander made, leaving me with a grumpy version of him that I'd never met."It's obvious that you were jealous back there, it's the only thing I could think of that could be the reason for you yelling like that" I pointed out but he scoffed."Me? Jealous? Why would I be?" He retorted sharply, those piercing unreadable eyes locked on me."I mean... It was a bit overboard?" I murmured, unable to find the right word. Or maybe that was the right word anyway.That yell wasn't any bomb an Alpha would drop in front of his closest workers just because of any woman. And strangely, it made my cheeks flush. No, maybe it was how hard I was finding it to keep up with his attacks."You're finding this way too easy, no?" He asked and my eyes went dramatically wide as I shook my head frantically, but who was I kidding?He definitely added to

Alexander's POV I was already feeling bitter ever since Blake reminded me of my promised visit to Woven Peak Pack. The meeting room was filled with my angry dark aura from that one reminder. But it only lasted until I sensed it.The golden scent that always had a way of soothing every bit of anger brewing through me. She was close. Hesitation lingered in her scent but she didn't leave. She was hovering around the meeting hall.Waiting for me.The thought alone made me count the seconds and minutes until the meeting would end."We need to find a way to secure an alliance with Woven Peak Pack or a Pack that qualifies the same way as fast as possible, Alpha" a voice pierced through my thoughts and I looked up sharply to meet the Gamma's gaze. Gamma Thorn. I was still yet to settle scores with him... But that can wait, right?"Thanks for the reminder, Thorn" I muttered simply and Blake yelled at me through the link.I barely referred to any of the ministers and officials by their names.
Danica's POV Something seemed off. I couldn't place it but everywhere seemed tense... In a bad way.Not like anyone ever paid me any attention but it seemed to worsen today. Like the maids meeting my gaze and then looking back down quickly like they committed the greatest offense in the book of justice.And I didn't like it. Not one bit. Which is why even with my legs sore, I still walked as fast as I could to see my patient... If he hadn't been discharged and then Vera... to tell me everything that happened while I was out like a light. Luckily for me, he was just about getting discharged when I walked into the clinic. But the slight smile of relief vanished from my face when I took in how he looked. Battered, stressed and unhappy. He didn't look like someone who was happy to have been saved or maybe it was just me. Maybe I was just overthinking things. I tried to assure myself as I walked closer hoping to congratulate him.He sensed me before I got to him and he looked back, hands
