Semua Bab Alpha Begged His Doctor Luna come back: Bab 71 - Bab 80

(Vivian's POV)"Healer Bennett, could I get your signature on these new equipment forms?" Sarah Parker approached my desk, her round face flushed with excitement.I glanced up from the patient chart I was reviewing. "More new equipment? What is it this time?""Security cameras with wolf-detection capabilities," Sarah explained, sliding the paperwork toward me. "They're installing them throughout the entire Pack Medical Center by the end of the week."This caught my attention. "That's... unexpected. Dr. Thompson is usually stingy with security upgrades."It had been three days since the incident with Kevin Bane at The Crescent Club. Three days since Sylvan had rescued me. Three days during which I'd returned to work as if nothing had happened.No one at the Pack Medical Center knew about my abduction. The official story was that I'd left my shift early due to illness. Dr. Thompson had reprimanded me for "abandoning my post without proper notification," but the lecture lacked his u

(Vivian's POV)The Thorne pack house loomed before me, its stone façade as imposing as ever. I hesitated at the entrance, my hands clutching the bag of special healing herbs I'd brought for Elder Margaret. According to Jonathan Thorne's message, she had refused all food since returning from the Sacred Moon Grounds.Martha Collins greeted me at the door, relief washing over her face. "Thank the Moon Goddess you're here, Healer Bennett. She won't listen to any of us.""How long has she been refusing food?" I asked, following Martha up the familiar staircase."Two days now," Martha replied, her voice tight with worry. "Alpha Thorne thought you might be able to convince her."I nodded, though inwardly I wondered why they thought I'd have any influence. Elder Margaret and I hadn't spoken since I filed for mate bond severance with Sylvan.The door to Elder Margaret's room stood slightly ajar. I knocked gently before entering."Go away," came the frail voice from within. "I'm not hungr

(Vivian's POV)"James, I'd like to return to Moonstone Ridge tonight," I told our pack driver as we left the Pack Medical Center.James Wilson nodded respectfully, his experienced eyes meeting mine in the rearview mirror. "Of course, Healer Bennett. I'll take you straight there."Sylvan, who had been silently staring out the window, turned to me with a frown creasing his perfect features. "Moonstone Ridge? Why are you going back there?"His rain-forest scent filled the confined space of the car, making it hard for me to think clearly. I adjusted my position to create more distance between us."Because it's my home," I replied simply."The Northern Territory villa has better security," Sylvan countered, his ice-blue eyes studying me intently. "After what happened with Kevin Bane—""I've made my decision," I interrupted, not wanting to revisit the traumatic memory. "Moonstone Ridge is where I want to be."James wisely remained silent, focusing on driving as tension thickened the

(Vivian's POV)"We're still waiting for Vivian," Emma's voice came through my phone speaker as I rushed to complete my patient notes. "How much longer will you be?"I glanced at the clock and sighed. It was already past eight in the evening, and we'd planned to leave for Katherine Hayes's hot spring resort hours ago."I'm so sorry," I said, cradling the phone against my shoulder as I finished documenting the emergency case that had come in right before the end of my shift. "A young wolf came in with severe silver poisoning. I couldn't leave."Emma groaned dramatically. "Fine, fine. Ruby and I will pick you up. We've already packed your things.""You went into my apartment?" I asked, surprised."Ruby used the spare key you gave her," Emma explained. "Don't worry, we packed all your cute swimsuits. You can thank us later."I smiled despite my exhaustion. "You two are unbelievable.""That's why you love us," Emma replied cheerfully. "We'll be there in twenty minutes. Be ready!"A

(Vivian's POV)The hallway of Katherine's hot spring resort felt suddenly narrow as Sylvan cornered me. His rain-forest scent surrounded me, making it difficult to think clearly. We'd somehow stumbled into the dangerous territory of discussing William, and I could see jealousy flashing in Sylvan's ice-blue eyes."I still don't understand," Sylvan said, his voice deceptively calm. "Why exactly do you prefer my brother over me?"I sighed, tired of his persistent questioning. "Because William has always been nice to me."Sylvan scoffed, crossing his arms over his chest. "And I wasn't nice to you? Is that what you're saying?"The question was so absurd I couldn't help but give him a withering look. Did he genuinely believe he'd treated me well? My expression must have conveyed my thoughts clearly because his eyebrows shot up in surprise."You think I was bad for you?" he asked, genuine confusion in his voice."Do you really want me to answer that?" I challenged.Sylvan stepped clos
