Chapter 31

Liam's POVI sit down on the toilet seat with my back against the wall dialing Elion’s number, he picks on the third ring, sounding groggy.“Hello Elion?”"You sound terrible," he said immediately.“Good morning to you too” I snark “Liam, seriously. You don't sound okay? Are you alright?” There's a rustle on the other line, is he in bed? “I'm fine. It's 11:30am, what are you still doing in bed?” “It's my day off, I'm spending it in bed. Sue me”I chuckle, it comes out like a humorless grunt, a pang of guilt and envy hits me at the same time, Elion deserved to rest without me bothering him with my problems, at the same time, I cannot remember the last time I had proper rest, what with the issues that have taken up my time and thoughts now, rest might as well be a myth.I sigh, he seems to catch up on the fact that all is not in order."How bad was last night?” He sounds worried, he knows about my mandatory gigs at the strip club.I don't speak, suddenly I feel like throwing up again

Chapter 32

Liam's POVThe club is louder than usual tonight.I'm backstage getting ready for my second set when Draco finds me, face tight with something I can't immediately read.Draco is the set manager, he manages all the strippers, makes sure they are in optimal shape and positions to perform. He watches out for me, I think he suspects that I'm not here of my own volition"Full house," he says. "Word got out about you. Three more private bookings came in just this evening.""Good," I say, because it is. I need every dollar I can get, I don't know how this would affect my reputation as a doctor, if anyone recognizes me but I can't afford to care right now.He doesn't look like he agrees. He's leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed, watching me fix my collar in the mirror."You don't have to do all three," he says."Draco." I don't need to second guess myself, I'm already conflicted as it is."I'm just saying-""I know what you're saying." I meet his eyes in the mirror. "I'm fine

Chapter 33

Kai's POVI don't know what's wrong with me.That's the honest answer and I've stopped pretending otherwise.When I walked into that room and I saw Vael's hand on Liam's wrist, something hot and dangerous rose up in me that I could not reason with or talk down or redirect. It just rose and I followed it through the door.Marcus Vael is not someone you challenge lightly. My father had sat across from that man at a table and tried to reason with him.Alpha Anderson never reasoned with anyone, he always got his way. So Marcus Vael was no mere man.The Ironcrest Pack has enough reach and enough history that going up against them without backup is not something done carelessly. I know this.I did it anyway without blinking. Not like I was thinking in the heat of the moment anyway.Even now, I do not regret my decisions at all, I may not grasp the full extent of my actions but I definitely would do it again in a heartbeat.Nobody messes with Liam, not in my presence or absence.And now Liam

Chapter 34

Liam's POVI should be more afraid than I am.My mind keeps coming back to that. I'm looking up at Kai, half shifted, eyes gold, twice as solid as he was ten minutes ago, and my rational brain is sending every signal it has.But it seems like my body has stopped listening to my rational brain."Kai." My voice comes out lower than I intend. "Don't."He looks down at me and the gold in his dilated eyes seems to swirl."Don't what?" His mouth brushes my jaw. Not a kiss. Just contact, warm and deliberate. "Tell me to stop?""Stop," I say.He doesn't stop, not that I was expecting him to, the very fact that he bought my time tonight means he can do anything to me and me being a stripper in this establishment is already consent enough.His mouth moves to my neck, his lips press against it and my brain short-circuits.My hands are still pinned above me and I pull against his grip on pure reflex, I already know I'm not going anywhere, his strength in this form is something else entirely, the

Chapter 35

Liam's POVI wake up in a hospital bed.I don't remember getting here. The last clear memory I have is Kai half-carrying me to the car, the seat cold under me, him reclining it fully because sitting was not an option. His hand on the back of my head making sure it didn't hit the window. Then nothing.My head swims with nausea as the sterile smell of the disinfectants hit me, even as a doctor, you never really get used to the smell of the hospital, you just learn to ignore it.The beeping of the machine connected to me through a line of wires makes my head ache.My entire lower half is one continuous deep ache.I shift and immediately regret it, going still with a sharp breath."I said don't move," a voice says pleasantly.I open my eyes.Dr. Beatrice is sitting in the chair across from me, clipboard balanced on her knee, expression completely unbothered. Beatrice has been a friend since our residency. She is stoic in the way that emergency medicine makes people unshockable. If anythi

Chapter 36

Liam's POVBy the afternoon I can prop myself up on my elbows without keeling over in pain.Beatrice had come back twice, She gave me something for the pain and told me I could leave tomorrow if I actually rested, looked at me over her clipboard when she said actually like she knew I needed the emphasis.“You also should engage in really…vigorous activities for now, if you catch my drift” She chuckled then and left the room before I could one up her with a snide response.I'm lying there staring at the ceiling, thinking about nothing useful, when the door opens and Kai walks in. He's got a folder tucked under his arm and a coffee in his other hand which he sets on the table beside my bed without offering it.I grab it, and take a sip. It's the perfect temperature and just how I like it. I groan, being strapped to a hospital bed is so inconvenient.I watch him.He drops the folder in front of me.I look at it without touching it. "What is this.""Read it.""Kai-""Just read it, Liam

Chapter 37

Liam's POVThe first payment hits my account before seven in the morning.Thirty thousand dollars. I stare at the notification like it might disappear if I look away. Then I open my banking app and send the deposit for my mother's treatment before I can think about it too hard.It goes through immediately.I put my phone down and lie there and breathe.For the first time in weeks, maybe longer, the thing that lives in my chest just below my sternum is not there. The weight. The constant low hum of what if I can't, what if it's not enough, what if she deteriorates before I find a way.It's quiet.It doesn't last.The door opens so hard it bounces off the wall and I flinch, grabbing the side rail on reflex.Anne is in the doorway.She's still in her coat. She looks like she came straight here from somewhere, keys in her hand, eyes moving from me to Kai in the chair by my bed to me again."What," she says, very quietly, "is he doing here.""Anne-""Liam." Her voice doesn't go up. That's

Chapter 38

Kai's POVThe discharge process takes longer than it should.I stand at the nurse's station waiting for the paperwork while Liam sits in the wheelchair they insisted on, which he hates, I can tell by the way he's sitting in it. Back straight. Arms crossed. Like he's daring someone to comment.Nobody comments.I sign the last form, take the printed aftercare instructions that Beatrice hands me with a look that communicates several things she's choosing not to say out loud, and wheel him toward the exit."I can walk," he says."Hospital policy.""I know what hospital policy is, I work here."“Well, you're not working right now you're in a wheelchair so you're a patient”“Well I wonder how I got here” He mumbles, clearly irritated. I chuckle, I really did not mean to hurt Liam in the process, but my wolf had become too erratic that day and I couldn't hold it back any longer. He's still bugged about it, but I think I have a pretty good grip on myself right now, and in the near future to

Chapter 39

Liam's POVI wake up with a knot in my neck, I can't turn my neck, I'm sure it's because of my posture on the couch.“Good morning sunshine” He yawns.“Good morning Kai” I smile, rubbing my neck.He notices, “Stiff neck?” “Yeah,”He gets a hot towel and sits me down, massages into my neck so calmly that I get goosebumps. Why doesn't he ever show this part of him?“I was hoping I'd get to talk to you yesterday, but you were asleep when I returned,” He says, pressing the hot towel on my neck, I crane my neck forward so he can get all the crevices.“I'm sorry, you can say it now”“Don't apologize, you needed the rest anyway. I wanted to lay down the ground rules?” “Aren't those already in the contract?” I ask, confused.“No”“Fine, hit me” I groan.The first rule he establishes is that I don't leave without telling him where I'm going."I'm not a child," I say."You're under a contract," he says. "Those are different things.""Are they?”He looks at me with an expression that's hard

Chapter 40

Kai's POVDerek shows up on a Wednesday with no warning, which is typical spontaneous Derke, because Derek has never understood the concept of texting first when it actually matters.I hear the knock and check the time. Just after six. I look at the kitchen where Liam is sitting at the table with his laptop open, coffee beside him."Bedroom," I say quietly.He looks up. "Excuse me?""Someone's at the door. Bedroom, please."He stares at me. "Are you serious?"The knock comes again."Liam."He closes his laptop, picks up his coffee gingerly, like he's doing me a significant favour, and disappears into the bedroom. I wait until the door is fully closed, then open the front door.Liam is angry, but I really can't risk it.Derek is standing there with a six-pack beer and a takeaway bag. "Yo. You haven't been answering my texts.""I've been busy.""Hence the visit." He walks in without being invited, which is also classic Derek, and drops everything on the kitchen counter. His eyes move
