All Chapters of Fated To The Human Doctor : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Christie's POV "Christie! For heavens’ sake, are you still standing there in those ugly trousers?"I stopped at the base of the grand staircase, clutching my medical bag. My mother was standing near a massive floral arrangement, obsessively adjusting the tilt of a white rose. She didn't look at me; she looked at my reflection in the hallway mirror with a pinched expression. My mother, Diane, was hosting the Equinox Ball, an event she had talked about for six months as if it were a royal coronation."I have a double shift at the lab, Mom. I was just coming down to grab some water before I headed out," I said quietly.She finally turned, her silk robe billowing around her. She walked toward me, her heels clicking sharply against the marble. She stopped a foot away, her eyes raking over my faded denim and the simple cotton shirt I had ironed myself."Water can wait. The caterers are confused about the seating chart in the West Wing, and the florist forgot the extra boutonnieres for th

Alpha Lyon’s POVMy mother was sick and even as the Alpha, I didn't have the cure to her ailment. I stood by the window, watching the moonlight hit the floorboards, while behind me, my mother, Nima’s breathing sounded like gravel grinding together."The healers left an hour ago, Lyon," Kendra said from the doorway.I didn't turn around. I didn't want to see her. "I know when they left. I’m the one who kicked them out.""They only said what you already know," she stepped into the room, her silk robe rustling. "The tumor is too deep. It’s the same one that took your mate. You have to stop acting like this is a battle you can win with your teeth and face the reality of the situation.""I am not watching my mother die the same way I watched Sarah die," I snapped, finally turning to face her. "Get out, Kendra.""I’m trying to help you!" she raised her voice, stepping closer. "The pack is unsettled. They see their Alpha hiding in a sickroom while the Luna ceremony remains unfinished. If

Christie's POV I sat as far away from Lyon as the passenger seat allowed, my back pressed against the door. My heart was still racing, but the initial panic was turning into a dull, heavy ache. I looked at the man behind the steering wheel. His profile was sharp, his hands gripping the wheel so hard his knuckles were white. He wasn't looking at me like a predator looks at prey; he was looking at the road like his life depended on every mile. I could see the desperation in his body language."You realize this is a felony, right?" I said, my voice finally steadying. "You can’t just walk into a lab and take a person. There are cameras. There are witnesses.""I saw you on the news tonight. It was more of a recap and a follow up news on what you've accomplished," Lyon said, ignoring my threat. "I looked you up. There’s almost nothing about you online. No social media, no photos, just your medical papers and your research grants. You’re living like a ghost, Christie Graves.""That’s ho

Christie’s POVKendra came in, but she stood by the door, wiping tears from her eyes. "I have a problem," I said as I looked up at Lyon, who was standing at the foot of the bed like a guardian. "The refrigerated stabilizers. I didn't grab them from the cooling unit. I was so panicked when you took me that I didn't get to take them. I cant administer anything at the final stage of the treatment without them.""I’m going back for them," he said. His voice was low. "I’ll get into the lab and get what you need. You just give me directions around the place.”“Okay, great. Once you get into the lab, you're going to just walk straight from the door. The refrigerator is right opposite the door. Fetch the green bag.”He nodded. And then he got a little too close to me again."Christie, listen to me," he said, his voice dropping an octave."Don't try to escape into the woods while I'm gone. It isn't safe for you out there, especially not now. Please, just stay in this house."I furrowed my

Christie's POVThe moment I stepped back into the massive bedroom, all I could think of was Lyon. He was probably on his way back now. It was late. I didn't realize how much time had passed since I showed up, but it was late now. It didn't look like I was going to leave this place today. Well, I didn't exactly want to leave…. because Lyon? No!What was I thinking. “I'm a doctor. I'm here to do my job,” I said to myself. I didn't sound convincing enough. “Well, I was brought against my will but I must keep things professional.”I nodded. “I can't keep entertaining nasty thoughts about the man who literally kidnapped me.”I walked over to the bed and sat on the edge. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone, noticing the battery icon was a thin red line.It was almost completely dead. I looked around the room for a charger, but I didn't see one. Before the screen could go dark, a notification appeared. It was a voice recording from my mother.I hesitated for a second, m
