Rejected, And Became A Heiress

Chapter 37

"There's been an accident, sir! I need to discuss with you, maybe in private-"

I interrupt the butler with a single word, "Who?" My body is deadly still.

My butler glances at Lilia quickly before leaning into me closely "Cara Wilson."

Grey is swearing and cursing her in my mind. His words are obscene enough to make a sailor blush. His snarl rips through my body, like he wants to take over.

I mentally tell my wolf to get a hold of himself. Shifting now would take everything from bad to worse. No, we need to talk to the doctor.
