ALEXANDER

I stared at Faye for a second longer than was polite.

She didn’t look hysterical. She didn’t look confused. She didn’t even look emotional in the way she sometimes did when her heart got ahead of her judgment. She looked… certain. Quietly, stubbornly certain.

And that was the problem.

“I saw his wolf,” she had said.

The words echoed in my head long after she finished speaking.

It made no sense.

Werewolves don’t see wolves–not like that. Not each other’s, not even their own. And Faye

knew that.

So whatever she thought she saw, it shouldn’t have been possible.

And yet.

There was something in her eyes that stopped me from dismissing her outright. She wasn’t pleading. She wasn’t manipulating. She was convinced.

As if she knew how ridiculous it sounded and was prepared to stand by it anyway.

“Show me,” I said finally.

Her eyes flicked up to mine. “What?”

“The room,” I clarified, already turning. “If there’s anything to see, I want to see it myself.”

She hesitated only a second before falling into step beside me.

The walk back to the clinic room was silent. My mind ran through every possible explanation -stress, exhaustion, emotional projection. Faye was sensitive to things others weren’t, yes, but that didn’t mean the laws of our nature bent for her convenience.

I pushed the door open.

Nothing.

The room was exactly as it had been before–dim, quiet, sterile. The boy lay asleep now, his

breathing even, his face slack in unconscious rest. No tension. No disturbance.

No presence.

I inhaled slowly.

The air was pure. No wolf beneath it. No heat. Nothing tugged at my senses. Nothing answered the Alpha instinct that always reacted when another wolf was in the room.

stepped farther inside, my gaze sharp, scanning corners, shadows, the space behind the bed, the walls.

Still nothing.

Faye stood beside me, close enough that I could feel her warmth. She wasn’t reacting. No sharp intake of breath. No sudden stillness. She was just… standing there.

Waiting.

I turned my head slightly. “Do you see it now?”

Her shoulders dropped.

She didn’t look at me.

She didn’t look at the boy either.

She just sighed–soft, tired–and stayed silent.

That was all the answer I needed.

I nodded once, more to myself than to her. “Then it’s settled.”

She stiffened. “Alexander-”

We walked back out.

“He has to go,” I said simply. No anger, no argument. “I won’t keep a human in the pack house on a theory I can’t verify.”

“But what if-”

“There is no what if,” I cut in, my voice firm now. “He isn’t healing like a wolf. I can’t smell him like a wolf. And whatever you thought you saw isn’t there anymore.”

I glanced at the boy one last time through the door. He looked harmless–young, broken in a way that had nothing to do with us.

“I’m not abandoning him,” I continued. “He’ll be transferred somewhere safe. I’ll make sure of it. But he doesn’t stay here, and that is final.”

Faye stepped closer. I could feel it even without looking at her. I knew that tone in her breath. I knew she was about to push back, to dig her heels in, to fight the way she always did for things she believed in.

I didn’t give her the chance.

“I’m sorry.”

I turned and walked out of the clinic.

FAYE

I walked back into the main house some minutes after Alexander did. The corridor felt longer than usual, every step heavier, like I already knew I was about to do something I couldn’t take

back.

The office door was slightly open, just enough that I didn’t need to knock. I stepped inside quietly and immediately caught the tail end of a conversation.

Alexander was standing behind the desk. Kyle was there, along with another wolf I didn’t fully recognize–someone tall, broad–shouldered, with a face I knew I’d seen around but couldn’t place. I couldn’t even remember his name.

They noticed me at the same time.

“Luna,” Kyle greeted, dipping his head.

The other wolf followed suit. I nodded back, not trusting myself to speak yet.

Alexander didn’t pause for long. He simply acknowledged my presence with a brief glance before continuing like I wasn’t there, which somehow made the tension in my chest tighten

even more.

“I’ve already spoken to my contact at the hospital,” he was saying. “Once you get him there, ask specifically for Dr. Ross. He’s aware of the situation.”

Kyle nodded. “Understood, Alpha.”

The other wolf nodded too.

That was it.

They turned and started walking toward the door, moving to pass me.

Something inside me snapped.

“Stop.”

The word came out sharp, cutting cleanly through the room.

They both froze instantly.

The office went quiet.

Alexander turned to look at me slowly, his voice calm but edged with warning. “What are you doing?”

I felt it then–that unmistakable sensation of standing on very thin ice. One wrong word and I would fall straight through it.

But I couldn’t stop myself.

It felt like a weight pressing down on my chest, a burden I couldn’t ignore no matter how much sense Alexander was making. Whether he believed me or not didn’t change the fact that I needed him to hesitate–to doubt himself, just this once.

I walked forward until I stood directly in front of his desk.

“Alpha Alexander,” I said.

The title was intentional. I needed him to hear it the way everyone else would. Not as his mate. Not as the woman who shared his bed. But as his Luna.

I saw the flicker in his eyes immediately… surprise, caution, attention.

“I know you’ve made a decision,” I continued, keeping my voice steady even though I didn’t feel that way. “And I know you’re acting in the best interest of the pack. I respect that. I respect your authority.”

Kyle shifted uncomfortably behind me. I didn’t look at him.

“But I’m asking you to recognize mine as well,” I said. “Just this once.”

Alexander didn’t interrupt me. That alone told me how serious this had become.

“There’s something about that boy,” I went on. “Something I don’t fully understand yet–but I know it matters. I’m sure he’s a wolf, and I need time to prove it. Real time. So I ask that you reconsider.”

His jaw tightened slightly, but he still didn’t speak.

“I’ll take responsibility for him,” I said quickly, before doubt could creep into my voice. “I’ll watch him. I’ll keep him out of the way. If there are consequences–if I’m wrong–I’ll take responsibility for that too. Fully.”

The words felt bigger once they were out in the open. Heavy and final.

Alexander stared at me like he didn’t recognize me at all.

And maybe I didn’t recognize myself either.

I didn’t know where this certainty had come from. I didn’t know why I was willing to push him like this, to risk his trust and his authority in front of his people. All I knew was that the boy would be safer here–and that was important to me.

I stopped talking.

Kyle and the other wolf stood there awkwardly, clearly unsure where to look or what to do. The silence stretched, thick and uncomfortable, until it felt like the room itself was holding
