Power Play

(Vivian's POV)The silence that followed Sylvan's declaration was deafening. My heart pounded in my chest as I stood there, wrapped in his suit jacket that smelled of rain-soaked forest.Sylvan's eyes never left Mark. With a swift, deliberate motion, he extended his hand toward the water gun the boy was still clutching. I watched in fascination as his fingers closed around the plastic toy.Crack!The water gun shattered in his grip, plastic fragments scattering across the stone patio. Water dripped between his fingers as he crushed it effortlessly. My breath caught in my throat. This display of raw power wasn't for me - it was a message to everyone watching.Sylvan tossed the mangled remains of the toy at my feet. His eyes glinted dangerously in the moonlight."Pick it up," he ordered the boy, his voice deceptively soft.Robert Reid seemed to finally grasp the gravity of the situation. His face paled as he rushed forward, placing a hand on his son's shoulder."Mark, apologize p

Pack Politics

(Vivian's POV)The tension around the pool was suffocating. Samara Reid clutched her son to her chest, her eyes wild with maternal rage as she glared at Sylvan."This is a direct violation of pack law!" she shouted, her voice carrying across the gathering crowd. "No wolf may discipline another's pup without permission from the parents!"Her wolf was so close to the surface that I could see gold flecks appearing in her irises. Behind her, more pack members emerged from the Hayes house, drawn by the commotion.Sylvan stood tall, unruffled by her outburst. The remains of the crushed water gun lay scattered at our feet."By all means," he replied smoothly, "file a formal complaint with the Pack Council."His voice was soft yet carried an unmistakable threat. I noticed how everyone instinctively took a step back, creating space around him."I'm sure they'd be fascinated to hear how your son directly challenged my mate," Sylvan continued. "And how neither you nor your mate were superv

Emergency Call

(Vivian's POV)The air between Sylvan and me felt charged with something I hadn't experienced in years. His fingers lingered at my neck, sending little sparks down my spine. This was the perfect time to bring up severing our mate bond as Elizabeth had demanded.Yet the words refused to come. After watching him defend me so fiercely at the Hayes celebration, I couldn't break this fragile warmth between us."Sylvan," I said simply, my voice barely above a whisper.His eyes darkened, and his mouth lifted into a half-smile. "My name sounds so nice when you say it like that."The teasing note in his voice made my heart flutter. His hand moved to my waist, warm through my robe. He stepped closer, his scent enveloping me."I—" I began, uncertain what I wanted to say.The shrill ring of my phone cut through the moment. We both flinched at the interruption."You should answer that," Sylvan said, not moving his hand from my waist.I reached for my phone with reluctance. The caller ID sh

Painful Memories

(Vivian's POV)I stood frozen as Ruby Sterling's accusatory gaze burned through me. The hostility pulsing from her was almost tangible in the air."You really don't remember me?" she asked again, her tone laced with venom.Mrs. Sterling looked bewildered between us. "Ruby, what's the meaning of this? Dr. Bennett saved your eye!"Ruby's laugh was harsh, grating against my nerves. "Mother, do you know who this is? This is Vivian Bennett, Sylvan Thorne's mate."The way she said "mate" made it sound like a curse. A chill crawled up my spine as memories began to surface."Lucas Hayes' birthday celebration," Ruby continued, her uninjured eye gleaming with malice. "Two years ago. You were there, weren't you, Dr. Bennett?"The memory hit me like a physical blow. Lucas' birthday. The night everything changed."I remember now," I said quietly, keeping my professional mask firmly in place.Ruby smirked. "I thought you might. How could anyone forget such a... memorable occasion?"My stom

Painful Past

(Ruby's POV)"Ruby Sterling!" My mother's voice cut through the silence like a knife. "How dare you speak to Dr. Bennett that way after she saved your eye!"I shifted uncomfortably against my pillows, the bandage over my right eye feeling suddenly tighter. "She and Sylvan Thorne obviously have problems anyway. Everyone knows it."Mother's face flushed with anger. She stepped closer to my bed, her normally gentle features hardened into stern lines."That gives you no right to be disrespectful to the woman who spent four hours healing you!" She smoothed her expensive dress, a nervous habit she'd had for as long as I could remember."You have no idea what that woman has been through," Mother continued, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Do you know her story? Do you know who she really is?"I rolled my good eye. "Some charity case the Thornes took in. Everyone knows that."The slap of my mother's hand against the bedside table made me jump."Her father was the Beta of the Thorn Pac

Father's Influence

(Vivian's POV)The evening air was crisp against my face as I walked out of the Pack Medical Center. My shift had finally ended, but my mind refused to let go of this morning's confrontation.My own words echoed in my head, making me wince. Had I gone too far? Perhaps. But he had hurt me deeper at Lucas Hayes's birthday celebration two years ago, and he'd never apologized for that."If I can't mark my true mate, can't I just mark someone else to make do?"I remembered the crushing silence that followed his declaration, the pitying glances from wolves of both packs. How I'd stood there, glass shattered at my feet, my dignity in pieces."Maybe I should apologize," I whispered to myself, pulling my coat tighter against the evening chill.After all, what good would it do to spend our last month before severing our mate bond in constant conflict? We'd already wasted enough time on resentment and silence.Emma would call me pathetic for even considering an apology. "He should be grove

Hidden Tensions

(Vivian's POV)I was halfway through my dinner when I heard the front door open. The familiar scent of rain-soaked forest drifted through the air, announcing Sylvan's arrival before he even stepped into the dining room.He entered with his usual commanding presence, dressed in a gray suit under a dark coat. The ensemble matched his brooding cynicism perfectly—so different from his brother William's gentlemanly yet serious style. William always had a warm smile regardless of circumstances, while Sylvan's expressions were calculated, revealing only what he wanted others to see."You're eating," he remarked casually, shrugging off his coat. "The food smells good tonight."I nodded slightly, watching as he took his seat across from me. "Martha outdid herself.""I see that." He glanced at the spread on the table, a small smile playing at his lips. "Venison with wild mushrooms. Impressive."Martha beamed from the corner where she was arranging dessert. "Thank you, Mr. Thorne. I wanted

Healing and Hurting

(Vivian's POV)The tension in the room was suffocating as Sylvan stared at the rabbits nestled in our bed."I'll take care of this," I said, stepping cautiously toward the bed. "You should go to the guest room."A low growl rumbled from his chest. "This is my bedroom.""And you're about to lose control over some injured rabbits," I countered, trying to keep my voice steady. "Please, Sylvan."For a moment, I thought he might refuse. Then, with visible effort, he reined in his wolf and stepped back."Fix this," he ordered through clenched teeth. "All of it."Without another word, he turned and stalked out of the room, the door slamming behind him with enough force to rattle the picture frames on the wall.I exhaled shakily, the sudden silence almost as overwhelming as his presence had been. Phoebe stirred within me, concerned but not frightened. She'd never feared Sylvan's wolf, even when perhaps she should have."Miss Vivian?" Martha's tentative voice came from the doorway. "Is

Uncomfortable Revelations

(Ruby's POV)Emma Rivers let out a dramatic sigh as she stared at me. "Get this through your bandaged head. Vivian doesn't need to share her personal life with you or anyone else."I couldn't believe how protective this she-wolf was acting. The way Emma positioned herself beside Vivian's desk reminded me of a guard dog."Why so secretive?" I pressed, eyeing Vivian. "Everyone knows about your mate already."Vivian's face paled slightly. She exchanged a quick glance with Emma."Actually," Emma interjected with a mischievous grin, "if Vivian's with anyone, it's me. We've been secret lovers for years."I scoffed, unable to contain my disbelief at their pathetic attempt to distract me."Please. I know exactly who her mate is—"Before I could finish, Vivian lunged forward with surprising speed. She shoved something bitter into my mouth—some kind of healing herb. I gagged at the unexpected assault."That should help with your pain," Vivian said sweetly, though her eyes held a clear w

Past Reflections

(Vivian's POV)"It started three years ago," I began, noting how both Ruby and Emma leaned forward eagerly. "But it wasn't about seduction or drugs."I shifted uncomfortably in my chair, these memories still raw despite the years that had passed."There was an incident in the pack," I continued. "A wolf sacrificed his life during a territory dispute. He was a gamma, not high-ranking, but respected."Ruby's visible eye widened with interest, her bandages suddenly less prominent as her curiosity took over."The Thorne pack didn't compensate his widow properly," I explained. "She became desperate, started spreading rumors about the pack leadership neglecting their duties.""Classic elite pack behavior," Ruby interjected. "They always underpay the lower ranks."I nodded slightly. "Eventually, she couldn't bear it anymore. She took her own life in the central pack grounds where everyone would see."Emma winced. She'd been in the territory when it happened, though we'd never discusse
