Menu Doctor Nathan stared at me for a moment. After briefly looking at Diana and Garrett Thorne, he quickly turned back to me.

“Selene?” he said softly.

I walked up to him. “How are you, Doctor Nathan?”

“Good. It’s been a long time.”

“Yeah, a very long time.”

From his expression, I could tell he wasn’t sure if Kane had forced me back or if I’d returned to the pack willingly.

Even though I wanted to thank him right then, I held back.

Just to ease his mind, I said, “I came here to see Garrett.”

He nodded. “Oh, I see,” he said quietly.

The other doctors were looking at me since they didn’t know me. I moved aside so they could examine their patient.

“Nathan, my son. Is everything okay?” Diana asked.

Doctor Nathan gave her a small nod before heading to Garrett Thorne.

I noticed he was holding a file.

“The test results are back. We need to discuss them with the Alpha,” he said to Diana.

He meant Kane. They wanted to discuss the report with Kane.

“There’s no need to talk to him. You can tell me about my health issues.” Garrett said.

It made sense he’d say that, given their argument earlier.

“But, Mr. Thorne, this is serious. I can’t discuss it without him present,” Doctor Nathan explained.

I could read Doctor Nathan’s face- something was seriously wrong with Garrett’s health. He looked really nervous about it.

One of the doctors helped Garrett lie down and another doctor handed him a syringe, which he injected into Garrett’s arm.

“This will help ease the discomfort,” the doctor said.

“Would someone please tell me what’s wrong with my husband?” Diana demanded, anger in her voice.

I sighed and walked over to Doctor Nathan.

“Can I see the reports?”

Everyone looked surprised at my request. Doctor Nathan frowned, probably wondering why I was asking.

Despite his confusion, he handed me the file. I opened it and checked the first report. My eyebrows shot up when I saw that Garrett’s wolf was weakening due to an overdose.

I kept turning pages, reading about his symptoms and pain. The room went completely quiet.

Menu After finishing the file, I looked at Doctor Nathan. “He needs medicine to counter the overdose effects.”

“Overdose? Overdose of what?” Diana asked in disbelief.

Doctor Nathan kept his eyes on me. “How do you know all this? How do you know he needs medicine?”

I looked away. No one here knew about my qualifications. I’d been top of my class in medical school. For the past four years, I’d spent most of my time in the pack hospital.

But I didn’t want to explain this in front of Kane’s parents. So I ignored his question and asked instead, “What treatment could help him?”

Doctor Nathan seemed to understand why I was deflecting and calmly replied, “He needs the wolf vine cure. It’s a medicine that can heal our inner wolf.”

Diana looked relieved. She thought her husband would get better soon. But her hope didn’t last long when one of the doctors spoke up, “Our pack doesn’t have that cure. It’s very expensive.”

Diana glared at the doctor. “What did you just say? Expensive? Are you suggesting we don’t have enough money? My husband brought this pack to its highest position.”

Doctor Nathan shook his head. “Mrs. Thorne, please calm down. That’s not what he meant at all. Only healers can make that cure.”

I listened quietly to Doctor Nathan’s explanation. I knew Doctor Grayson was away from his pack. Right now, he was the most powerful healer in the city, and he had been my mentor too.

But I knew about the cure Doctor Nathan was talking about. Looking over, I saw Garrett was now sleeping because of the injection. Diana’s eyes were getting watery.

After taking a few deep breaths, I turned to Doctor Nathan and said, “Don’t worry about the cure. I’ll handle it.”
