All Chapters of The Alpha’s Scarred Healer: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Alpha Dimitri’s POVI couldn’t argue with that. Zedd had senses I didn’t, and what I had seen in the treatment room supported him.Still, Petru was my Beta. We didn’t always agree, and I had never been foolish enough to trust him without question, but I had always believed his loyalty to Bloodfang and his Alpha came first. Whatever his personal feelings, I had never expected him to deliberately go against my orders or my interests. I wasn’t going to condemn him because Scarlett had reacted strangely to him once, but I wasn’t going to ignore what I had seen either. I would look into Tomas’s death myself, and until I knew exactly what had happened in that treatment room, Petru didn’t need to know I was doing it.By the time we reached our connecting chambers, Scarlett seemed eager to disappear into her own room.“Thank you, Alpha Dimitri,” she murmured, already reaching for her door.“Scarlett.” I waited until she turned back to me before continuing. “You need to eat dinner.”She frown

Alpha Dimitri’s POVIt wasn’t the answer I wanted, but at least it wasn’t another lie.I studied her for a moment before leaning back in my chair. “All right.”Her eyes returned to mine, surprise replacing some of the tension in them. “That’s it?”“For tonight.”She stared at me as though she expected me to change my mind, but I had already decided how far I was willing to push her.There was, however, one thing I wasn't willing to leave to chance. “If Petru asks you to go anywhere alone with him, you tell me first.”Something flickered across her face, and the sudden change in her heartbeat told me the instruction had struck closer to whatever she was hiding than I had expected.“Why?” she asked.“Because I’m asking you to.” I paused before adding, “And until I understand what happened in that room, I don’t want you alone with him.”Scarlett went quiet again, looking as though she wanted to argue or explain something before ultimately lowering her gaze to her plate. When she finally

Raven / Scarlett’s POVMy hands would not stop shaking.I wiped the last trace of foam from the corner of Alpha Dimitri’s mouth with a damp cloth before checking his breathing again. His chest rose and fell beneath my other hand, each breath shallow but steady. I should have moved my palm once I knew he was breathing, but I couldn’t. I needed to feel the movement beneath my fingers, needed the constant reassurance that he was still here.My cheeks felt tight from the tears that had already dried against my skin. Somehow, I had managed to get him off the floor and onto my bed, though I could barely remember doing it. His dark hair clung damply to his forehead, and his face was still far too pale.The sight made my chest tighten all over again.I had watched him scream. I had felt his body convulse in my arms and heard him sob from pain he had endured for years without allowing anyone to see him break. Then his eyes had closed, and no matter how many times I called his name, he hadn’t a

Raven / Scarlett’s POVI stared at him, certain I had heard him wrong.Mate?No. That wasn't possible.Most wolves found their mates at eighteen. Some had to wait until twenty-one, maybe a little longer, but those years had passed for me a long time ago. Eventually, everyone had stopped wondering when my mate would appear, and so had I.I had moved on. I had lived an entire life since then. I had become a wife, a Luna, and eventually a woman who had fled her marriage carrying another man's child.Finding my mate belonged to a part of my life I had stopped thinking about years ago.Now Alpha Dimitri was sitting in front of me, telling me the Moon Goddess had chosen him for me.“No.”His brows pulled together. “Scarlett—”“No, you can’t…” I shook my head, struggling to make sense of what he was saying. “You were unconscious a few minutes ago. You’re sick. You don’t know what you’re saying.”Then I remembered the kiss.Goddess, I had kissed him back.“I’m sorry about what happened. I sho

Raven / Scarlett’s POV“Beta Petru,” I said.Xena’s posture stiffened beside me.Beta Petru looked between us before nodding toward the room. “Inside.”Xena didn’t move. “No.”His smile faded slightly before his gaze shifted to me. “Inside, Raven.”Hearing my real name from his mouth was enough. There was no point pretending Xena wasn’t involved now.I stepped back into the room, and after a moment, Xena followed. Beta Petru came in behind us and locked the door.His gaze swept over the small room before returning to me.“Predictable,” he said. “And stupid. I knew the moment things became difficult, you’d run straight to someone for help.”Then he looked at Xena.“I just didn’t expect you to lead me directly to the infamous Xena Stormwielder.”Xena went still beside me.Beta Petru studied her for a moment before recognition crossed his face. “You’re the pregnant friend, aren’t you?” he asked. “The one Raven came looking for herbs for.”My heart dropped. He remembered the lie I used to
