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."

"How serious?" I ask my butler.

"I'm not sure, sir, but I hear it's not looking up." He glances back towards the crowd, clearly uncomfortable with being the center of attention at a moment like this.

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.
