Standing outside the clinic, Benedict watched as his Alpha stared at the door red delivered the news to Hendricks, experting he wasn’t seste what he’d been expecting, if he was being honest. Guilt? Worry? Denial?

Alpha Hendricks reaction had been surprise Surprise As if he hadn’t expected the hood his cuman male was shouldering in full to reart when he strayed

Guild followed the surprise, then worry and fear. At least he was capable of that much, Benedict thought as he waited for Hendricks to man and zo inside.

Benedict had never been more disgusted with someone before in his life.

Finally, after what felt like forever, Alpha Hendricks opened the door and stepped into the clinic. The first thing they heard ipon entering was Doctor Silverthorn saying, “Now’s not the time to worry about that. You just need to rest so you feel better.”

“I ‘unno what you mean. I feel real fine,” Beatrice giggled. Benedict hadn’t even known the human was capable of giggling.

“You’re awake,” Hendricks said, sounding relieved as he made his way to his mate’s bedside.

Beatrice had a dopey smile on her face, most likely from whatever the doctor had pumped her full of to mask the pain. It was a sorry might to see.

“Why so glum, chum,” she asked the Beta, who gave her an odd look. Her speech was a bit slurred but otherwise she sounded happy as a clam. Talk about

disturbing.

Alpha Hendricks spared his Beta a quick glance, lifting his chin a bit in an unspoken signal. Benedict took a few steps back so he was no longer on Beatrice direct line of sight as the Alpha said, “He was just worried about you.”

“Puh-lease,” she giggled some more. “N’ne of your wolves worry ’bout me. ‘ne of ’em even like me.”

Benedict felt himself flinch at the comment. Not that any of them had been hiding their feelings about her, but it was never a good thing to hear say such a thing. Guilt churned in the Beta’s gut as he continued to listen.

“That’s not true, Beatrice,” Alpha Hendricks lied, voice soft as he took half a step closer before stopping. His posture was riged us he gazed da human, who had somehow dozed off while he’d been speaking Whatever the doctor had given her was doing its job and more.

They stood in silence for a moment before Alpha Hendricks turned to the doctor. “How is she. ?”

Doctor Silverthorn glanced at Benedict before addressing their Alpha. “She’ll live, if that makes you feel any better. Alpha 1 and could put him in his place, the doctor was one of them. This doctor in particular was particularly strict no matter a wolf’s k

Benedict had to consciously work to keep his expression neutral at the ass being sent Hendriks way

“This isn’t my fault,” the Alpha snapped, shoulders tensing as he stared down Doctor Silverthorn

For her part, the doctor was pointedly reviewing her notes and not looking at the snarky Alpha Soast woman. Did I was it was the inquired in a 4771) voice as she flipped a page. “I believe what your mate needs most right now is rest. And some peace and quiet will help that happest She’s in mu dengan va there’s no need for you to stick around.”

“What did you do?, the Reta demanded, keeping his voice tow He’d already figured out what had happened best needed to hear it for homself took in

“Nothing”

“Alpha Hendricks, even I know the signs.”

“I did nothing, Beta” The curt tone told Benedict that Hendricks didn’t want to discuss it, that he deded to drop the subject altogether

There was an another moment of silence between the two before Benedict spoke again. “I get that you’re frustrated with her for putting you through thes but what you did was out of line.”

“Someone has to.” No one other than Benedict and the doctor would unable to admonished when you nearly killed her. The only reason she survived is pure luck

The Alpha scoffed. “Don’t be ridiculous. No one has ever died from something like that”

“She’s human,” Beta Benedict practically hissed. Why couldn’t Alpha Hendricks understand” “had this Alpha. The fact she hasn’t lost her sanity or crumbled is a miracle. And you decided is what went on none of the backlash?”

“You think she hasn’t been with that vampire?”

Benedict blinked. Was that what all this was about? Alpha Hendricks was jealous of some bloodburkers lose conditer She’d get the backlash from your end of the bond if she tried.”

An annoyed sound came from the Alpha. “Okay, well, it’s obvious she’s… he’s… There’s something between them.”

Okay, that was something Benedict couldn’t refute but it also didn’t give Alpha Hendricks permission to do where’d done

“Look. I don’t like her – you know that – but you can’t just go and fuck around after marking her. You’re going to kill

“…get a second chance,” was the muttered reply.

Alpha Hendricks’ response stunned Benedict. He was aiming for a second chance/mate? So he’d done this on peowing tat human, because he wanted to be given the chance of another mate?

Even the Beta knew that was a stupid idea. Beyond stupid. The Alpha had planned on killing his mate and then expecting Moon Goddess gift anyone with a second chance after they murdered their first?

Benedict opened his mouth to say as much but stopped himself. No. That wouldn’t convince Hendricks that wh the expression on the Alpha’s face that he believed he’d made the right choice.

It was time to choose a different approach. “You know what losing a mate does to the surviving woll,” Betandic honestly think you’d just bounce back without repercussions? You could lose the park. Algaba hic

Again the Alpha scoffed. “Hardly. Since she’s human, the backlash from her death won’t be new

“… I don’t know. I just know that this isn’t the way to do it. Even if she is just a human she doesn’t deserve that
