"Sorry, excuse me, coming through!"I rushed down the corridor toward the conference room, my heart pounding. I was thirty minutes late. Thirty minutes. Dr. Owen was going to kill me. After everything that happened with the surgery, being late to his meeting was probably the final nail in my coffin.I'd spent the last two hours hiding in the locker room, trying to make sense of what happened. My hands had stopped shaking, but my mind still spun in circles. How did I perform that surgery? Where did that knowledge come from?I reached the conference room door and took a deep breath. Through the small window, I could see Dr. Owen standing at the front, addressing the room full of interns and nurses. I carefully turned the handle and slipped inside, trying to be invisible.The door creaked.Every head turned toward me. But I barely noticed them. Because Dr. Owen looked up, and our eyes met, and everything else disappeared.He was tall, maybe six foot three, with dark hair that fell slight

"Stop looking at me like that, Juniper."I stabbed my fork into my salad, avoiding my best friend's wide eyed stare. We sat in the hospital cafeteria during lunch break, and she hadn't stopped gawking at me for the past ten minutes."Wait, so let me get this straight." Juniper leaned forward, her curly red hair falling over her shoulder. "You woke up one morning and became a super surgeon by magic? Just like that? Poof?""I'm being honest, Juniper. I don't know what happened." I pushed the lettuce around my plate. "One minute I'm completely lost, crying my eyes out over Derek. The next minute I'm performing one of the most complex surgeries in cardiothoracic medicine. It was like someone else took control of my body. Like I was being possessed or something."Juniper closed her eyes and held her hands up like she was performing an exorcism. "Hey, you evil spirit in my friend's body. Out. This instant. In the name of all that is holy, leave!""It's not funny, Juniper." But I couldn't he

"You're being ridiculous."I stood in front of my bathroom mirror at eleven thirty that night, having this argument with myself for the hundredth time. My small apartment felt too quiet, too empty. The text message glowed on my phone screen, taunting me.Come to the old medical library at midnight.Every rational part of my brain screamed that this was a trap. That going alone to meet some mysterious stranger in an abandoned building in the middle of the night was possibly the dumbest thing I could do.But the other part of me, the part that had performed two impossible surgeries today, the part that felt something awakening inside me, that part was desperate for answers.I grabbed my jacket and my keys. If I was going to do this stupid thing, I should at least tell someone where I was going. I pulled up Juniper's number, then hesitated. The text had said to come alone. To not tell anyone.What if telling someone put them in danger? What if this person had information about my wolf, a

"I need more blood over here! Type O negative, stat!"The emergency room was chaos. Bodies everywhere. Nurses running between gurneys. Doctors shouting orders. The smell of blood and fear thick in the air. I'd been working for six hours straight without a break and we still had patients waiting for treatment.I finished suturing a deep laceration on a young woman's leg and moved immediately to the next patient. A man in his fifties with a collapsed lung. I could see it immediately, the way his chest moved wrong, the bluish tint to his lips."He needs a chest tube," I said to the nurse beside me. "Now."She handed me the equipment without question. Everyone had stopped doubting me hours ago when I'd successfully performed three emergency procedures that saved critical patients. Now they just gave me whatever I asked for and stayed out of my way.I prepped the insertion site, found the correct intercostal space, and inserted the chest tube with steady hands. Air and fluid rushed out. Th

"You look terrible."Juniper handed me a cup of coffee the next morning as I slumped into the chair across from her in the hospital cafeteria. She was right. I looked terrible because I felt terrible. After leaving Owen's office last night, I'd gone home and barely slept, my mind spinning with everything I'd learned.Serena had tried to use me. Owen's past was even more tragic than I'd imagined. Someone was trying to break into the hospital. My wolf was bound by magic I didn't understand. And now Owen's ex-fiancée was back with mysterious information about a death that happened five years ago."Thanks for the confidence boost," I muttered, taking a long drink of coffee."Seriously though, are you okay? The whole hospital is talking about your performance yesterday during the mass casualty event. You saved more lives than any other doctor, and you're just an intern." Juniper leaned forward. "People are starting to ask questions, Mary. About how you can do the things you do.""Let them
