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.

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.
