I ride in the ambulance with Iris, and, to my chagrin, Caleb loes as well while Hunter and Alice follow with Miles in Hunter’s car. By the time we arrive, several nurses are already waiting in the emergency room.

Within minutes, Iris has already been taken to a private room and hooked up to various monitors and IVs. After a few tests, the doctor confirms that Iris did indeed have a severe allergic reaction to something, although they’ll need to run more tests to find out exactly what it is that she’s allergic to.

“I know what it is,” Caleb says firmly without looking at me, his gaze never leaving Iris, who is still half- unconscious in the hospital bed. “Kiwi.”

“Kiwi?” I breathe, furrowing my brow. How the fuck did Caleb know that when I didn’t even know, and Iris is my mate? Does she even know?

“Well, she’s lucky someone recognized the symptoms and had epinephrine on hand,” the doctor says with a nod. ” We’ll run the allergen tests anyway to be certain, but thank you for your input, Mr. Willford.” With that, the doctor leaves.

Once we’re alone, with Iris still hooked up to all those machines, I can’t contain myself any longer. I grab Caleb’s arm and pull him away from her bed, not leaving the room but far enough away so as not to disturb Iris, who is still out of it.

“What the fuck is going on?” I demand, keeping my voice low but letting every ounce of my fury show. “How did you know she was allergic to kiwi? How did you just happen to have an EpiPen in your possession?”

Baring his teeth, Caleb yanks his arm free. “That’s none of your business.”

“Bullshit. First the damned ‘etiquette‘ lessons, and now this?” My wolf is practically snarling beneath my skin with jealous rage. “What’s your game, Caleb? Are you trying to seduce my mate? Is this some sick revenge for what happened with Selina? How many times do I have to tell you that I didn’t mean to hurt Selina? I never would.”

His eyes flash dangerously. “You think I’m that petty? That I’d use an innocent woman to get back at you?”

“Can you blame me?” I snarl. “Every time I turn around lately, you’ve been there, by her side. Giving her money, spending time alone with her, knowing things about her that I don’t-”

“Maybe if you paid more attention to your mate, then you would know these things too,” Caleb snaps. “Did you ever ask about her medical history? Her allergies? Or were you too busy being the Alpha President to care about the details?”

“Don’t you dare question how much I care for her,” I growl stepping closer. Oh, how I want to throttle this fucker. My wolf is practically begging me to sink my teeth into him. “She’s my mate. The mother of my child. I care about her more than all of Ordan combined.”

“And yet you didn’t know she could die from eating a kiwi, Caleb shoots back. “Some mate you are, Arthur. I always knew you were a selfish fucker, but this-”

“Shut the fuck up before I shut you up,” I hiss, closing the remaining distance between us until our chests touch.

I’m about to grab him by the collar when a weak voice stops me cold.

“Stop it. Both of you.”

We turn to see Iris awake in her hospital bed. She looks pale and exhausted, but her eyes are clear and focused on
