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.

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.
