"Your ribs completely mended three years back, I take it?" Dr. Bevan asked, rising from his chair and snapping his medical kit shut.

I nodded once, my jaw tight. "And the shoulder. It was just a deep dislocation then."

"Well, this recent river incident has severely bruised the exact same ribcage, but time will repair the bone, just as it will clear the throat infection," Dr. Bevan said, pulling a prescription pad from his jacket. "You require absolute bed rest. That is the single effective trea

    My feet swung over the edge of the mattress again, determined to stand, but Sterling strode across the rug in two massive steps. His big hands clamped around my ankles, lifting my legs and swinging them back onto the bed. His fingers lingered against my warm skin for a second longer than necessary, sending an electric shock straight through my pulse points.We froze, staring at each other. My eyes burned with pure hatred; his returned the glare with absolute coldness.Slowly, Sterling straightened to his full, towering height, tweaking one dark eyebrow up. "Going somewhere, Maisie?""I am not staying under the same roof as a tyrant who is determined to blame me for an accident I didn't cause!" I held his intense grey gaze, something raw and desperate forcing the words out of my chest. "Please... just tell me you believe me! I wasn't driving!"Sterling studied my face for a long, agonizing moment. His dark eyes slowly drifted down my neck, lingering on the heavy curve of my chest benea

    "If I told you that no male wolf has ever touched me, that I built an iron fortress around my heart the day my family cast me out, would you even believe me?" I rasped, my vocal cords burning as I glared up at the massive Alpha standing beside my bed. "Or would you just call me a liar again?"Sterling raised one dark, imperious eyebrow, his broad shoulders blocking out the sunlight streaming through the arched windows of the Whitaker River Estate. "A broke outcast with nothing to her name? Anyone in your position looks ragged and starving. Tell me, Maisie, before you turned up floating in my river like abandoned baggage, how exactly did you survive?""I worked fifty hours a week at Mercer Electrical Works," I snapped, the memory of the grease, wire coils, and heavy iron parts making my knuckles ache. "I lifted crates, fixed power lines, and kept Alwyn Mercer's machinery running until he retired and shuttered the shop without warning. Then my brother decided my small room at Harcourt C

    "A high-ranking female who could have provided a stabilizing influence," Sterling continued, his voice dripping with dark irony as he stared down at my pale, bruised face. "How Everett would have hated the solid, unexciting omega you are trying to pretend to be!""That 'unexciting omega' would have forced him to hand over the keys when he was drenched in fire-whisky, thereby keeping him alive!" I snapped back."Are you attempting to make me feel guilty for my brother's grave?" he asked, his grey eyes turning to ice."He was the one driving the vehicle," I said, my chest heaving as pain shot through my ribs. "Are you honestly blaming me for the crash?""I saw you behind the wheel with my own eyes when you both left the Whitaker Grand Ballroom," Sterling replied coldly."We pulled over and swapped seats five minutes after leaving the pack gates!" My hands clenched into the heavy duvet. "Everett demanded to drive. Why are you shaking your head? I swear on my honor we traded places!""The

    Voices drifted up from the lower courtyard right beneath my window."Sterling, this vessel is an absolute wreck!" a male voice shouted, followed by the heavy thud of boots on timber. "Whoever was navigating this floating coffin is lucky they didn't end up crushed against the rocks.""Replace 'he' with 'she', Baxter," Sterling answered from the dock below, his voice dry and devoid of pity. "She calls her craft the Moon Lady. Though she prefers to describe herself in even less flattering terms. 'Stray river trash', I believe, was her term of choice."My body went completely rigid under the sheets."You're joking," Baxter Hensley laughed, his voice echoing off the stone wall. "A lone female living in a breakdown like this? Some wild rogue type? Free with her favors, is she? Is that why you brought her inside the house?"A sharp blush flooded my pale, feverish cheeks. I clenched my fists, my claws aching to extend."A wild rogue?" Sterling’s voice carried a dark, sardonic edge. "Hardly. A

    "Your ribs completely mended three years back, I take it?" Dr. Bevan asked, rising from his chair and snapping his medical kit shut.I nodded once, my jaw tight. "And the shoulder. It was just a deep dislocation then.""Well, this recent river incident has severely bruised the exact same ribcage, but time will repair the bone, just as it will clear the throat infection," Dr. Bevan said, pulling a prescription pad from his jacket. "You require absolute bed rest. That is the single effective treatment right now. I am prescribing an antibiotic for the fever, but you must remain immobile for forty-eight hours minimum. Do you hear me, Maisie?"Maribel stepped back into the room as the heavy oak door clicked open. Dr. Bevan scribbled a swift line of script across the paper and passed it straight to the housekeeper."She understands the necessity of total rest, Doctor," Alpha Sterling Whitaker’s deep voice echoed from the doorway. He stepped inside, his broad shoulders easily blocking out th

    "On the boat," I whispered, forcing myself to look up into his striking, sharp-jawed face. "I told you that on the dock.""You also told me you were river trash and a useless omega," he noted, his dark eyes narrowing as he studied my features. "I didn't believe that either.""I am unemployed," I snapped, a flash of defensive heat cutting through my weakness. "I am homeless, I have no pack, and I have no money left.""And the male you lived with abandoned you?""I never said that!""You said he found someone else," Sterling countered smoothly."Just leave me alone!" I cried out, rolling onto my uninjured side, pulling the heavy comforter over my shoulders to hide from his suffocating presence.The bedroom door clicked open, and Maribel walked back in carrying a basin of steaming water and folded towels. "Alpha Sterling, I need to wash the young lady and change her. Please step outside."Sterling straightened up, his tall, imposing silhouette blocking the warm light of the hallway. He l
