Chapter 11 Doctor Dove

Vaelor's POV"Alpha, the seven-day window has closed and yet she has not responded to the mandatory call. This is a direct affront of authority, defying your order," my Beta said to me across my mahogany desk. Both of our eyes went down to the reports that he had just given to me.10 deaths only today, and 15 contracted the plague—two of them being pack doctors.I had needed a moment to breathe, but Silas was boiling over."Alpha, just give me the order and I'll head out into the human world to extract her myself," he said with solid intention."Settle down, Silas," I told him, my voice calm but burning, carrying that Alpha authority that didn't need volume.His face twisted. "Alpha, she—""Is one of the only hopes that we have left..." I completed for him before he could say anything else. Even our pack doctors here, who had trained for decades, scrambled and failed to deal with the plague. At first, it had been something that they dismissed."Just a small fever that will pass away,"

Chapter 12 Kimberly Dove

Vaelor's POVMorning light leaked into my bedroom. It did not come with warmth but rather warning. Slumber was something that often evaded me; I just laid on the bed for formalities and wrestled with it for most of the night until I had to sit upright in the morning.This day began just like any other. My head was throbbing so hard I was worried it would split open. Most of last night was spent at the office, looking through our contacts to see packs that would still do business with us. Our territories were mostly on lockdown, but we still allowed food to come in, of course. This meant that when the people delivering it were leaving, they had to be monitored and quarantined by their own pack before they were able to return home.And while I made sure that the financial incentive to do the job was not lacking, I was not surprised that many people were extremely reluctant. My pack was slowly turning into a death trap; all you needed was skin contact with an infected, and if your symptom

Chapter 13 Her Scent

Vaelor’s POV"Vealor? Are you listening to me?" Clara called for my attention and waved her hands about, but for the first time in years I was not inclined to give it to her. She saw my full focus was on the guard that had come to deliver the message and she stomped her food hard on the ground, crossing her hands indigently."Vaelor, won't you ever listen to me? I'm your Luna aren't I?"But suddenly she was like background noise to me and all I could really hear was that name Dr Kimberly Dove going on repeat in my head. I knew the chances were slim. I had to be out of my mind to entertain that it was anything but...however if against All odds it really was..No, I chastised myself.My thoughts should be on my Pack and their well-being not on the One That Got Away. Without sparing a word to Clara's complaints, I had already brushed past the guard, heart kicking against my rib as I was not able to smother all of the hope that had managed to root its way inside of my chest. But even if

Chapter 14 Meeting Him

Kimberly’s POVFor a moment—just one—as I sat across from the man who seemed to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders, I vaguely remembered the person I had fallen for: charismatic, dependable, and strong. Then, that image fiercely contrasted the one before me. He still had all of that regal aura that made it seem like I wasn’t good enough to breathe the same air as him, but I didn’t miss the paleness of his skin. Reaching up to those dark circles under his eyes, he looked like he was barely holding on.In the past, seeing him broken like this would have satisfied me vicariously, but I just felt this gaping hole in my chest instead, watching those lines of exhaustion move as he spoke.After I signed the contract, he did the same on his own and then handed it over to his aide. I wanted him to dismiss me so that I wouldn’t be here, suffocating on his scent that was still as overwhelming as it had always been."Kimberly," he breathed out. The way he broke the silence, his voice

Chapter 15 Coldness

Vaelor's POV "I will dismiss you in a moment. Why the rush? We still have other things to discuss, don't we?"That was a stretch of the truth. Essentially we had discussed everything important so far and she had already signed her contract. It's now laid under my fingers and yet I could not muster the strength to tell her to leave or maybe I didn't want to. It had been 5 years yet it felt like 50 decades since she dropped off the surface of the Earth. No calls, no explanation, nothing.Now she's here in front of me close enough that I can smell her scent suffocating me.Yet between us was a void that had never been there before, a barrier that I seem to be bumping head into every time I try to talk to her. It would be easier to dismiss her but I found myself wrapped in my own feelings and said regardless of everything “I'm Glad You Came. We needed your skills more than I would like to admit.” She looked at me with it barely hidden glare that could cut through glass "In the end I ha

Chapter 16 Same Clara

Kimberley’s POVSome things never change.I think that saying goes for people, too.Clara, the same Clara Vaelor had told me had such a short time to live, stood in front of me well and alive.It was as though she had been frozen in a time machine because everything was the same: that sly, condescending look hidden behind a sugary expression and the clothes she wore.She was dripping with luxury, a sharp and troubling contrast to what I had just seen at the hospital.Pack members were dying; I saw bodies being taken away and people fighting for their lives, yet she had the audacity to dress in designer clothes from head to toe.She saw what I was looking at, flicked her eyes up and down over herself, and smiled in satisfaction. Knowing her, she probably thought I was jealous.Despicable. I was more disgusted than anything else.She reminded me of when I first met her. Way before I married Vaelor, when my father was still the beta of this pack. She had come with her parents to a simple

Chapter 17 Rules

Kimberley’s POV"Why would it be a joke?" she said, throwing herself into an expensive leather cushioned sofa."It's a simple requirement that shouldn't trouble you at all, unless it's something I should have to worry about in the first place."I looked between the words written in ink and then back at her.I held up the contract as if she needed to get a better look at what had been written down."What has been added here is that if I have any kind of emotional or physical relationship with the Alpha of this pack, I will be stripped of, banished and lose all benefits.""In my opinion that is all but a slap on the wrist if you actually chose to go after my man, so I don't see why you're reacting like that," she said, gesturing up and down.The sweet persona that she had worn around viper was fading fast.I swallowed hard. "I don't think you understand. I'm a professional and I have no interest in your man."She rolled her eyes."I find this a slap to my professionalism to feel like yo

Chapter 18 Same Vaelor

Kimberley's POVI think I'm dying or maybe I'm just exhausted anyways. It feels like the same thing.I don't think I've had a moment to sit ever since I started working.I mean that's what I was already used to as a doctor but this was different.There was this constant haste, the knowing that the few seconds you stole away to yourself even if it was to eat a meal that's tasted like nothing because it had gone through far too many safety procedures to have kept its flavor was too much of a selfish move because I feel like the lives of my patients are being drift away like candle being snuffed out.It was too much. Back in Lincolnton we couldn't save everyone, of course, but we saved most people.Watching everyone die like that was far too much."How did this even start?" I asked the doctor velvet while I added medication to a patient's distant IV drip.She shook her head with an expression of how pitiful everything was."It started with just a few. We don't really know the roots cause

Chapter 19 Rumors

Kimberley's POVI was awakened by a series of calls that came to my phone even before the crack of dawn. Confused and tired, I ignored the calls at first; then, when they became more repetitive, I had no choice but to respond to them. Picking up the call, I heard that familiar and annoying voice that never failed to get on my nerves."Good morning, Kimberley. I just thought that I'd give you a quick reminder that you were supposed to arrive early to work from now on. I'll have the servants call you to make sure that you arrive early. After all, we don't want a single penny going to waste from what we are paying you."I had half a mind to tell her that what she was paying me did not qualify enough for my services and the risk I was taking. I did not know how bad the pandemic was going or how much of my life I would be risking for a disease that nobody even knew the origin of. But she wasn't the type to listen to reason. It’s not like she even cared if I did my work; she just didn't wan

Chapter 20 Can't reach her any longer

Vaelor's POV"Dr. Dove..."When I called out to her this morning, I did not expect that she would run into my arms or anything of the sort, but at the same time, I did not expect that she would shrink away and barely hide a look of disgust behind all the face coverage she already had on. But I couldn't even be properly angry at her because I knew I deserved that look. I had betrayed her trust in the worst way possible.Here I was trying to—what was I even trying to do with her? I just knew that when she was around in the room, I didn't want this awkwardness to hang between us. I wanted her to talk to me, to tell her that I did think Clara was going to die, but somehow she had survived.I had planted myself at the observation desk getting filled in by Dr. Fang when she showed up. She saw me and any possible trace of joy in her almost immediately disappeared, though it wasn't like she was jumping off the roof. I was surprised that she came in so early, but maybe that was just part of her
