The world snaps into focus all at once.

The doctor's voice echoes, the words twisting around my skull like barbed wire

"The Alpha's making sure of it. That man-Enoch-won't be a problem soon Panic slams into my chest.

My eyes fly open, and I blink rapidly against the fluorescent lights stabbing into my skull. The fire things the ine stuck into my arm, the needle buried deep in my vein.

A cold shiver runs down my spine. Werewolves rarely need IVs-our wolves usually handle the healing, Which mea I me have been in a world of pain for them to stick this into me.

White sheets. A massive four-poster bed. Dim lighting. A nauseatingly familiar scent.

I know exactly where I am.

I grit my teeth, my voice rough as sandpaper. "Where the hell am I?"

"You're awake."

I flinch at the voice, my body recoiling like it wants to leap out the darnn window. Kallias is sitting on the edge of the bed too close, his dark brows drawn together like he actually gives a shit. He's dressed down, his asual Alpha arrogance dampened, but I don't let that fool me.

"What the fuck am I doing here?" My voice is rough, my throat dry.

Kallias' jaw tightens. "You collapsed. I brought you here."

He looks relaxed, but the tension in his jaw gives him away. His eyes flick to my

face, scanning me, and something in his expression darkens.

"You're in my room," he says, voice deceptively calm. "In my bed."

Disgust crawls up my throat. I push myself up, ignoring the dizziness that threatens to pull me back under. The IV tugs at my arm, but I don't give a shit.

The doctor shifts awkwardly by the door, clearly wishing he were anywhere but here. He looks at Kallias before flicking his gaze to me, his mouth opening like he's about to say something.

I don't give him the chance.

"What the hell were you talking about?" My voice is sharp, cutting through the thick silence. "What did you mean about Enoch?"

The doctor's expression shutters immediately.

He glances at Kallias again.

"Doctor," I say slowly, my heart hammering against my ribs. "Tell me."

The doctor hesitates.

And that's all I need to see.

Kallias' lips curl, low and warning. "You don't need to worry about him."

Wrong answer.

I rip the IV out of my arm. The sting barely registers before I'm shoving the sheets

off and scrambling to my feet. My legs wobble, but I lock my knees and push

forward, adrenaline drowning out everything else.
