All Chapters of CRAVING THE ALPHA SURGEON: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Inside that suffocating old warehouse, our emergency room was nothing but a dusty concrete floor, two hastily hung emergency lamps, and a rotting wooden table serving as an operating surface. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Valen, a middle-aged man with remarkably steady hands, crouched at the patient’s head. The portable monitor from the emergency kit beeped… beep… beep…, marking a heartbeat that was beginning to stabilize after the IV fluids.“Blood pressure up to 90/60, saturation at 93 percent with nasal cannula,” Dr. Valen reported without looking up. “If you’re going to suture temporarily, now is the time. We don’t have long.”I handed over sterile gauze, betadine, and the suture set. Ethan let out a slow breath, suppressing the nausea and weakness that still lingered from his illness, but his eyes were sharp.“O’Connor 2-0. Tissue forceps. Sienna, retractor.”“Ready.” My hands, oddly, weren’t trembling maybe because my brain was locked in a do-what-you-can-do-now mode.Liam had been

Liam’s phone rang. The ringtone was different from usual, like a special code. He glanced at the screen, and his expression instantly turned cold.“Who is it?” I asked carefully.“Gregor.”My body tensed automatically. That name again—Ronny’s father, the man who had made my life feel like a nightmare for so long. Liam opened the message, his eyes narrowing as he read. I stepped closer, trying to peek.“What did he say?”Liam slowly closed the phone, then looked at me. “He invited me to the interpack tournament next week.”I frowned. “Tournament? Do you mean like a sports competition?”The corner of his lips curved into a cold smirk, almost sinister. “It’s not that simple, Cole. The interpack tournament is an old tradition. Physical combat between Alphas, Betas, even pack members, to prove strength, loyalty, and who deserves respect.”“So it’s like a duel?”“Yes, but more than just a duel. It’s a show of power. Many packs wager their reputation, even political agreements. This tourname

The black car sped through the quieting city streets. I sat in the passenger seat with my arms folded across my chest, staring blankly ahead.I had deliberately kept my mouth shut since we left the pack’s courthouse.Liam drove with a calm face, his gaze fixed on the road. From time to time he glanced at me, but I pretended not to notice.I knew he realized I was angry. I knew he could smell my emotions, the anger, disappointment, and guilt all tangled together. But he still said nothing.I bit my lip, holding back the tears that had been threatening to fall. I wanted to scream, to let it all out, but my voice was locked tight.Minutes passed until Liam’s deep voice broke the silence.“Are you going to stay silent until we get to the apartment?”I didn’t turn. “Yes.”He gave me a quick look, then focused back on the road. “Silence won’t change anything.”“If I speak, you’ll only justify yourself, won’t you? So what’s the point?” I asked.Liam didn’t answer. His hands only tightened ar

The sound of the apartment door opening made Alyssa and me turn at the same time. For a moment I wondered who it could be, but the moment that cold, commanding aura stepped inside, there was no mistaking it.Liam.He stood at the doorway, still in his doctor’s coat with the sleeves neatly rolled up. His black hair was slightly tousled, and his face was as always: sharp, unreadable, and distant.“Alpha!” Alyssa exclaimed cheerfully, jumping up from the sofa and running toward him. “You’re home! I thought you would be busy until tonight!”Liam only gave a brief nod. His eyes immediately shifted to me, still sitting on the sofa with an anatomy book open on my lap.“I came home on purpose. I want us to eat together.”I blinked in surprise. “Now? Don’t you still have meetings?”“I postponed them. Get your coat. We are going out,” Liam said.Alyssa instantly pouted. “Hmph, you never invite me to lunch. Why only Sienna?”Liam turned to her, raising his brow slightly. “Because she is my Luna.

I stood frozen, breath catching in my throat. My lips still felt warm and slightly damp from his sudden kiss. Liam didn't pull away. His forehead rested against mine, his amber eyes glowing like fire in the dark, staring straight into my soul."Every time you look at me with that worried gaze, every time you touch me with your gentle hands, it tortures me, Cole. I want to feel you, not just as my Luna, but as my woman."His large hands roamed my back, pulling my body flush against his hard, heated frame. I could feel every defined muscle of his abdomen, the frantic beat of his heart thumping against his chest, and something else, something hard and straining against his trousers, pressing into my stomach."Liam..." my protest was weak, but my hands instinctively crept up to his broad shoulders, my fingers sinking into his warm skin. "Your... your wounds...""Forget the wounds," he growled, before his mouth captured mine again in a wilder, more claiming motion.This time, I didn't figh
