The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0091: What Am I Doing?
ALICE’S POVTwo nurses stopped talking when I came around the corner into the break room. Not the wary silence from before — a different one, shaped, like I’d walked into the middle of something.I found the shape of it an hour later. The door between my office and the supply room — the one Morwen kept shut for the stuck hinge — had a rubber wedge under it that hadn’t been there yesterday. A straight line from my desk to the shelf Benjamin restocked every morning.I picked the wedge up, set it back exactly where I’d found it, and went back to my desk. Let them look.Marta brought coffee to the desk without being asked, set it down, and didn’t leave — stood a second longer than a coffee delivery needed, waiting to see if I’d say something. I didn’t. She picked up a folder that wasn’t hers, put it back exactly where it had been, and left.I had patients. I didn’t have time to wonder what either of them wanted.Callum found me in the corridor after that.“Dr. Watson.” He fell into step l
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0090: The Problem Is You
JOHN'S POVMorwen took the box out of my hands before I noticed I still had it."You've restocked that shelf three times," she said. "It doesn't need restocking.""I was counting it.""You weren't counting it."The faucet in the corner was still dripping into the bucket somebody left there three days ago. Nobody had fixed that either."Something happen?" she said."Alice laughed. At Benjamin."Morwen picked up her clipboard and started counting syringe tips instead of answering. Forty seconds went by and she still hadn't looked up."That supposed to mean something?" she said."You tell me."She didn't. Just kept counting.-----Alice came in an hour later for a suture kit. I had it down before she asked."Thanks," she said."You seem different today.""Do I.""Lighter. Less like you're bracing for something."She reached for the kit. Her hand stopped halfway, unsure of itself for a second, then closed around it. "Benjamin brought me coffee this morning," she said. "Black. No sugar.""
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0089: Humming Again
BENJAMIN’S POV"You're humming."I stopped."I'm not.""You're humming. Loud enough I heard it from the hallway." Callum set the patrol log down. "You haven't hummed since—"He didn't finish. He didn't need to.I'd slept. All the way through, no dreams I could remember, and that hadn't happened in longer than I wanted to admit out loud."Morwen wants a supply audit before the next screening wave," I said. "I told her I'd come by this morning.""That's not an answer.""It's the only one you're getting."---Alice's office door was open when I got to the clinic. She was already talking before she looked up. "Morwen, do you have the—" She stopped when she saw it was me."I need the growth chart from June," she said. "Caleb's follow-up is at nine.""I have it in my office.""Then go get it."So I went and got it. When I came back I set the chart down on the corner of her desk, and a second cup of coffee with it — poured for no one, if I'm honest about it.She looked at the cup, then at me
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0088: Memorial Tree
ALICE'S POVThe tree was younger than I'd expected. An oak, slim but sturdy, planted on a ridge that caught the wind from every direction.Small wooden wolves hung from the lower branches on bits of twine — a dozen of them, maybe more, each one carved rough, each one different."I make a new one every year," Benjamin said. "On the day.""You carve them yourself.""Badly." He touched one, and the twine swayed. "I still sit here when it rains. I don't know why. I just don't want him to be alone in it."I looked at the wolves turning on their twine and didn't say anything for a while.Then I told him the truth instead."I wasn't at the funeral," I said.Benjamin went still."I was too broken to be there. I let Drake and Damian and David handle everything — the arrangements, the service, all of it. I couldn't make myself go."My voice came out steadier than I'd expected, for what it was carrying."I kept thinking, if I didn't see him like that — still, not moving — then some part of me co
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0087:The Son I Failed
BENJAMIN'S POVAldric was three minutes into a toast about boundary cooperation, and I was using every word of it as cover for not thinking about the hand on my arm."You're tense," Lisa said quietly, leaning in."along been a long day, Lisa""I noticed." Her thumb traced once over my sleeve. "Lily's been asking about the supply route again. The one near the eastern outposts. She wants to walk it with her class next month and I told her I'd ask you directly instead of going through the council.""I'll look into it.""Thank you." She didn't move her hand. Pulling away over a conversation about a school trip would've looked stranger than leaving it there, so I let it stay and called that the reason.Across the hall Alice sat with John, a glass of wine in front of her she hadn't touched once. I noticed the wine before I noticed anything else. Her face didn't change. Then her shoulders dropped half an inch — small, deliberate, gone before John would've caught it.She leaned toward him and
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0086: Planting Seeds In The Dark
Lisa's POVJohn was alone in the supply room off the clinic — which was the only reason I came at all. He was restocking gauze, working it onto the shelf harder than the shelf had done anything to deserve."Pushing harder isn't going to turn her around," I said.He didn't look up. "If you are here to give unsolicited advice again then please don't.""You don't have to take it. I only watch." I leaned into the doorframe, easy, like I had all afternoon to give him. "You fought for her in front of everyone. Threw a punch, even. And she still tracks him across a courtyard like he's worth keeping an eye on."He set the gauze down — harder than it needed setting — and turned to face me. "That's not your business.""It's the whole pack's business by now. They all watched you hit your rival at the festival." I tilted my head, gentle as anything. "I'd have thought that settled something. It didn't, though. *Did it.*"He didn't answer. He picked up the next roll and went back to stacking, and h
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0036. The Girl Who Knew Too Much
ALICE'S POVLily was standing at the entrance to the pediatric wing when I looked up from Caleb's charts. A piece of paper, held in both hands. Alone.She was always alone when she came to find me. Nine years old, standing in the doorway like she was waiting for permission to exist in the room."Lil
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0035:The Alpha Stayed Up
Caleb's fever spiked just after midnight.Morwen's message came in while I was still at my desk. Alice was already up in the pediatric wing — she'd been there since we got back from the depot, making up the hours the drive had cost her.So I walked over.The corridors were quiet, the lights turned
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0034: He Called Me His Wife
ALICE’S POVThe supply depot sat at the edge of neutral territory — a warehouse big enough to hold medical equipment for half a dozen packs at once. Benjamin pulled into the loading bay and cut the engine."We're here," he said."I noticed."Inside, it was fluorescent-bright and smelled of sterile
The Alpha's Greatest Regret 0027:He Stayed For Remy
Alice’s POVBenjamin didn't leave.He pressed himself against the far wall — out of the way, not in the way — and watched every move I made. That's a distinction most people don't understand until they've been in a room like that one.When Remy's mother arrived first, her face white, her hands alre
