Semua Bab Alpha Begged His Doctor Luna come back: Bab 61 - Bab 70

(Vivian's POV)The Winter Moon Festival celebration at my Moonstone Ridge home had turned livelier than I'd expected. The wine flowed freely, and Ruby Sterling seemed particularly determined to make a good impression."Vivian," Ruby approached me with another glass of wolfsbane wine, her movements slightly unsteady. "I need to talk to you."I accepted the glass cautiously. "What is it, Ruby?"Her usually confident demeanor gave way to something more vulnerable. "I wanted to apologize properly.""For what exactly?" I asked, genuinely confused.Ruby glanced toward her brother Nathan, who was engaged in conversation with Emma across the room."For... everything with Clara," she confessed, lowering her voice. "I've been thinking about how I behaved, how I idolized her and followed her lead without question."I took a small sip of wine, studying her face for sincerity. "That's between you and Clara.""But it affected you," Ruby insisted. "I was so wrapped up in being Clara's friend

(Vivian's POV)My heart thundered in my chest as I stared at my front door. The person in maintenance clothing was still knocking, more insistently now."Territory management! Please open up, I need your territorial identity card to verify before fixing the power!"Something felt wrong. My wolf Phoebe's anxiety surged through me, her warning growls reverberating in my mind. Pack Territory Management had never asked for identity verification this way before.My phone vibrated in my pocket. Ruby Sterling's name flashed on the screen. I answered in a hushed voice."Ruby, now's not a good time.""Vivian! I'm on my way over. Emma told me about the weird flowers and the note—""No, don't come," I whispered urgently. "My power's out and there's someone at the door claiming to be maintenance. Something doesn't feel right."The knocking grew louder. I backed away from the door."You need help," Ruby insisted. "I'll call my brother—""Just stay away for now," I said firmly. "I don't wa

(Vivian's POV)The Pack Medical Center was eerily quiet during the night shift. Most patients were sleeping, and I was the only healer on duty. I'd volunteered for this shift since Nathan had mentioned he had an important Sterling Pack gathering to attend."Are you sure you'll be okay alone?" Sarah Parker had asked before leaving. Her round face was pinched with worry. "After those creepy moon lilies and that threatening note...""I'll be fine," I assured her, patting the small canister in my pocket. "I have wolf-repellent spray. One spritz and even an Alpha would be temporarily incapacitated."Sarah didn't look convinced. "You could call someone to pick you up when your shift ends.""I've already arranged for pack transport," I lied. I didn't want to worry her more than necessary.After she left, I settled into the rhythm of night rounds, checking on patients and updating charts. My wolf Phoebe remained alert within me, sensing my lingering unease from the incidents at Moonstone

(Kevin's POV)Everything was going according to plan. I had Vivian Bennett exactly where I wanted her - bound with silver restraints that prevented her wolf from emerging, the wolfsbane extract weakening her resistance.She was the perfect target. I'd chosen her carefully.As a respected pack healer, Vivian valued her reputation above all else. Her career depended on it. Once I was done with her, she wouldn't dare report what happened. The shame would be too great.I ran my fingers along her jawline, enjoying the way she flinched from my touch. She was beautiful even in her fear - perhaps especially in her fear."No one's coming for you," I whispered, leaning closer. "Not even your precious alpha."I'd planned this moment meticulously, waiting until she and Sylvan Thorne had filed for mate bond severance. The timing was perfect. Their bond had weakened enough that she couldn't reach him, yet the formal ties hadn't been completely severed - meaning Sylvan would still be obligated

(Vivian's POV)The warmth of Sylvan's arms around me felt like a shelter from the storm. My tears flowed freely as the full weight of what had almost happened at The Crescent Club crashed over me. Kevin's face, his hands, the silver restraints burning into my skin—the memories threatened to drown me."Shh," Sylvan whispered, his lips pressing gently against my forehead. "You're safe now. No one will hurt you again."His rain-forest scent enveloped me, familiar and comforting. For a moment, I allowed myself to sink into that comfort, to feel protected in a way I hadn't in years.But clarity began returning as the wolfsbane extract faded from my system. My wolf Phoebe stirred within me, her presence growing stronger. With awareness came the hard truth—I couldn't let myself depend on Sylvan again.I pulled away from his embrace, my body still trembling slightly. "You should go."Confusion flickered across his handsome face. "Vivian, you're still in shock. I'm not leaving you alone t
