Amanda’s POV:

As the Alpha of the Eclipse Pack, Samson’s self-healing ability was far stronger than that of ordinary werewolves. The injuries looked frightening, but in truth, they hadn’t damaged any bones or tendons.
The doctor used silver tweezers to clear the bruised blood around the wound. Werewolves are sensitive to pure silver, yet he didn’t make a sound the entire time, only the line of his jaw tightening visibly.
“Keep the wound away from untreated water, especially before the full moon. Werewolf skin heals more slowly then. The doctor slid the medicine bottles toward him, his tone cautionary. “These anti- inflammatory ointments are specially made and contain no silver. Apply them twice a day and come back for a follow-up in three days.”
Normally, he would have frowned and said. “That’s unnecessary,” but today he merely hummed in acknowledgment, his gaze passing over the doctor and settling on me at the doorway of the examination
room.
I leaned against the doorframe, my fingertips still carrying the warmth from holding down the gauze for him earlier.
The moment he came out. I straightened up, my eyes first scanning the bandaged area over his ribs before I dared to ask, “How is it? Did the doctor say it’s serious?”
Samson lifted a hand and tossed the medicine bag to me, his movements crisp, hardly like someone who had just finished having a wound treated. “Just as you said. Apply the medicine on time, and it’ll be fine.”
The medicine bag still carried his body heat. I instinctively clenched it, my fingers brushing against the cool glass bottle inside, and I suddenly remembered how, in the examination room, he had quietly brushed the stray hair off my shoulder with his uninjured hand.
“Then you have to go home and rest today.” I kept pace with him, my tone leaving no room for argument. “The Eclipse Pack’s operations department isn’t just for show. Cody and the elders can handle daily affairs. There’s no need for you to force yourself.”
He suddenly stopped and turned to look at me.
Under his gaze, I felt a little uneasy and instinctively took half a step back. “W-why are you looking at me like that?”
“Amanda.” His voice was lower than usual, carrying the unique magnetism of an Alpha. “As the Alpha of the Eclipse Pack, since when does my schedule get decided by you?”
I froze on the spot, my mind grinding to a halt, as if stuffed with wolf fur.
That’s right. He was the lofty Alpha, and I was merely an “identity-unknown” outsider. My concern, in his eyes, might have crossed a line.
I tightened my grip on the medicine bag, my voice turning a little hollow. “I just … don’t want to see you ruin your body by forcing yourself. After all, Derrick is still watching from the shadows. The Eclipse Pack

The excuse was passable, at least it didn’t expose the selfish feelings I kept buried. He raised an eyebrow, turned, and continued walking. “There’s still a medicinal contract with the Snow Wolf Pack that needs to be signed. I’ll have Cody take you back to the apartment.”
“Samson!” I hurried after him and grabbed his sleeve. “Your ribs were just treated. During the healing period, overexertion is the last thing a werewolf should do. Can you stop treating yourself like you’re made of steel?”
He stopped, turned his head slightly to look at me, a trace of amusement flashing in his golden eyes. “If I don’t work, will you support me?”
The word “I” got stuck in my throat. I opened my mouth, but no sound came out.
Cody was also stunned. The folder he had been holding nearly slipped from his hands—he had probably never seen his Alpha “provoke” someone in this tone.
“I… That’s not what I meant!” I let go of Samson’s sleeve, my ears burning. “I just think you should rest…”
He suddenly let out a low laugh, his shoulders trembling slightly.
Only then did I realize he was deliberately teasing me. Just as I was about to lose my temper, Cody suddenly cut in, “Mr. Ortega, Ms. Lamb is right. And Ms. Lamb is now a partner of the Eclipse Pack. Even if she really were to ‘support’ you, with her ability, it wouldn’t be a problem at all. After all, the Glacier Pack’s medicinal channels all rely on her connections now.”
