Semua Bab Fated To The Human Doctor : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Lyon's POVThe guard's words were still hanging in the air when I was already moving.Three humans. And they were with cameras.I didn't take anyone with me as I headed in the reported direction. The moment I stepped out of the tree cover and into the open, all three of them froze. Young men, maybe early twenties. One had a camera around his neck. Another had his phone raised, recording. The third one was pointing a flashlight at my perimeter wall like he was on a school trip.“Hunters?” Obsidian growled inside me.No. Just idiots."You followed my truck," I said.Nobody answered. The camera light was still blinking red."Put it down," I said quietly.It came down fast.I looked at all three of them, taking my time. I wasn't angry yet. Angry would come if they gave me a reason."This is private land. You're on it without permission. Whatever you thought you were going to find out here tonight, you didn't find it. Go home."The tall one in the middle cleared his throat. "We just want

Lyon's POVElder Cass had to be the last foolishness I was tolerating. Especially where Christie was concerned. "A word, Lyon," he said, his eyes still fixed on Christie like she was something that needed to be removed from the floor."You can have several," I said. "Step outside."I followed him into the hallway and pulled the door shut behind me. He turned on me before I could speak."She spent the night. That was never discussed. The pack laws regarding humans on pack territory are very clear and you of all people—""My mother is alive this morning," I said. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? She is breathing without the sound that was tearing through her chest two days ago. Her temperature is down. The monitor is green. That woman in there did that."Cass straightened. "Lyon—""So I need you to explain something to me," I said, keeping my voice low. "You and the other elders would have let her die. You'd have stood in a circle around her bed and watched her stop breathing b

Lyon's POVThe elders were already seated when I walked in.Seven of them around the long table, all wearing the same expression. I sat down at the head of the table and looked at each of them without speaking.Elder Cass started."The human girl has been inside this house for over twenty four hours now. The pack is unsettled. There is talk among the younger members, questions being asked that we cannot answer without compromising the laws we have upheld for generations.""She saved my mother's life," I said."That is not the point, Lyon.""Then get to the point," I said.Elder Cass leaned forward. "The point is that a human cannot remain on pack territory beyond an emergency. The emergency has passed. Nima is stable. The girl's purpose here is fulfilled and she needs to leave today. If you refuse, the council has the authority to remove her through official pack channels, which means involving more members of this community in something that should have been kept quiet."The man bes

Lyon's POVI was still on the back steps when I heard my name.Christie was standing in the doorway, her phone in her hand, her face different from how it had looked ten minutes ago when she went inside. The ease from our conversation was completely gone."Someone sent me this," she said, holding the screen out.I stood up and took the phone.‘We know where you are, Doctor Graves. Come home or we come to you.’I read it twice. I handed the phone back and said nothing for a moment."Lyon.""I heard you.""Who would send that? How would anyone know where I am?"I looked at her. "The men at the gate two nights ago. They had cameras.""But they left," she said. "You scared them off.""Scared them off the property. Didn't erase what they recorded before that." I moved past her into the house. "Come inside. Don't stand in the doorway."She followed me in and I closed the door and locked it."I need to go back," Christie said. "I can't just stay here while people are making threats. I have a

Lyon's POV‘She smells like yours.’I left my mother's room twenty minutes after she fell back asleep and I hadn't stopped moving since. Through the hallway, down the stairs, back up again. Like if I kept moving the words would lose their weight.They didn't.‘She smells like yours.’My mother had been in and out of consciousness for days. She was weak, her body still fighting. But her senses were intact. They were probably sharper now than they had ever been, the way a shifter's instincts heighten when the body is under threat.She hadn't been confused. She hadn't been rambling.She had looked me in the eye and said exactly what she meant.“You know what this is,” Obsidian said. He had been quiet since we left the room, which was worse than when he talked. The quiet meant he was certain.I know what you think it is, I told him.“That's not what I said. I said you know what it is. Stop hiding behind your own head, Lyon.”I stopped walking.I was standing in the hallway outside Christi
