Chapter 37 Trying to Act Tough

Amanda’s POV:

“Make something up! Tell him you fell or something!” Alice hissed in panic.

I quickly looked down, trying to stay calm. “I tripped earlier today. It’s not a big deal.”

“You’re so clumsy. Are you sure you’re fine?” Hugh frowned, obviously worried. “When you get home, have Derrick bring you some medicine. Don’t ignore it.”

I nodded, but my pulse was racing. My Alpha healing powers kicked in quickly, but the wound was still new, and the scar hadn’t disappeared yet. What if Derrick noticed something strange?

Back at the castle, I had just walked inside when someone knocked. I opened the door to find Derrick standing there with a small white bottle. “Grandpa told me to give this to you.”

“Huh? My hand is fine. You didn’t have to. Just tell Hugh I said thanks.”

Derrick ignored me and reached out. “This wound wasn’t treated right. Let me see. You’re an Omega without a wolf spirit. Even if you heal fast, you still need medicine.”

“I’m fine-” I tried to pull away, but he caught my wrist.

The bandage slipped a little, showing part of the scar. The pink mark was uneven and deep-definitely not from a fall.

Derrick frowned as he brushed the edge of my wound, his tone hard to read. “This doesn’t look like a fall. More like you got cut by glass.”

I yanked my hand away fast. The last thing I wanted was to argue with him. “I’ll take care of it myself.”

“You sure? Acting tough when you’re still hurt?” he said, not letting go. He pulled me over to the couch, unwrapped the bandage, and stared at it. The scar was messy, the lines sharp-definitely from glass.

He dipped a cotton swab into some ointment and lightly dabbed it around the wound. It didn’t really hurt, but I flinched anyway. “You don’t have to do this.”

He smirked, his touch careful. “Grandpa’s orders. I can’t let you walk around with scars.”

The ointment had a faint pine scent. It was Eclipse Pack’s special wolf spirit recovery ointment. It felt cool on my skin, and the redness started fading.

He wrapped my hand neatly and even tied a perfect little bow. I watched, feeling kind of awkward.

“Thanks.”

“No problem. We’re living under the same roof, so I guess we’re sort of friends,” he said with a friendly smile.

For a moment, that completely changed how I saw him.

But deep down, I was uneasy. He’d seen my real face before, and now he was checking my wound, asking questions. Did he suspect something?

“Watch out! He’s definitely scheming something!” Alice warned me. “Also, even if Samson is your destined mate, you can reject him if you don’t want him. As long as you two haven’t confirmed the bond, he won’t even know. Moon Goddess will just assign you a new one, or you can pick who you really want.”

Wait-what? Her words froze me. I looked up in shock and accidentally met Derrick’s eyes. For a second, I panicked.

“I-I’ve got something to do,” I blurted and rushed out before he could say anything.

I just learned that I could actually change my destined mate.

Clearly, I had a lot to learn about this stuff. I really needed to do some research.
