After Kane left, having torn me down with his cruel words, I sat in bed staring out the window. My heart ached thinking about his accusations.

My only mistake was falling for him in the past. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be feeling this pain now.

I closed my eyes, trying to connect with my wolf, Dominic. She was furious with Kane, unable to believe he could treat his mate this way.

"Dominic, let's go home," I told her.

She remained silent, her refusal to respond making it clear she disagreed. I understood her feelings for our mate all too well.

That's the thing about being werewolves - we can feel our wolves, communicate with them, sense their emotions. They're an integral part of who we are.

But I couldn't give in to her silent plea. I couldn't fulfill her wish to be with our mate.

The door creaking open interrupted my thoughts. I turned to see Nathan walking in.

"Thank you again for saving me," I said as he entered.

He approached with a gentle smile. "Don't mention it. It's my job," he replied, holding out a plastic bag. When I tried to reach for it, Nathan carefully stopped me. "Don't move your hand. It's still healing."

He placed my hand back on my lap, opened the bag, and pulled out my phone.

"We found this in your purse when they were rescuing your driver. Security protocol required us to check the contents."

I glanced at the phone now resting in my lap. "How's my driver doing?"

"He's in critical condition. Severe head injury."

My mouth fell open in shock. Was this my fault? I was the one who told him to drive faster. If I hadn't pushed him to speed up, would he be okay right now?

Nathan noticed my distress and patted my shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry, Selene. Our pack has top- notch doctors. He'll pull through. It'll take time, but I promise he'll recover."

His words brought some relief. "How can I ever thank you enough?"

"Friends don't need thanks," he said simply.

Before I could tell him what a good person he was, another voice came from the doorway. "Selene."

I turned to see my brother. "Magnus!"

He rushed to my side, worry etched on his face. Nathan stepped back and quietly closed the door.

Magnus wrapped me in a hug. Though the sudden movement sent a jolt of pain through my head, I didn't say anything. This was just how my brother showed his love.

"Oh baby sis, what happened?" he asked.

His embrace was exactly what I needed - the comfort of someone who truly cared about me. I hugged him back with my good arm, fighting the urge to tell him about Kane's accusations. But I didn't want to cause more drama.

"I don't know, Magnus. I was terrified."

I let my tears fall freely. He pulled back to wipe them away.

"Don't worry. You'll be back on your feet in no time."

I nodded, then remembered something crucial. "Magnus, my scars..."

His brow furrowed at my words. His eyes went to my arm, covered by the hospital gown sleeve. "What about them?"

"They suddenly became visible," I whispered.

He looked startled. For some reason, Magnus quickly glanced at Nathan, who seemed caught off guard by the sudden attention.

I could tell my brother didn't want to discuss this in front of others.

Nathan stepped forward, extending his hand to Magnus. "Alpha Magnus, I'm Dr. Nathan, head physician of this pack. It's a pleasure to meet you.'

Magnus shook his hand. Nathan looked at me and added, "I know about your relationship. Selene told me about her family a few days ago. She's lucky to have such a caring brother."

Magnus brushed off the small talk. "How's her condition?"

"She'll recover fully in about a week. I've given her strong medication to speed up the healing."

After a pause, Magnus declared, "Get her discharge papers ready, Dr. Nathan."

Nathan looked shocked. "But she hasn't recovered yet. She needs a full week of bed rest for the medication to work properly."

Magnus turned to me. "Do you want to stay here?"noveldrama

I shook my head immediately. "No."

He faced Nathan again. "My pack has capable doctors. They can continue her treatment when we get home.

Though Nathan had no authority to override a family decision, I could tell he was concerned about my leaving so soon.

I tried to reassure him. "Nathan, I'll take good care of myself. Thank you for everything. You're truly a good person."

Nathan stared at me for a moment before sighing. "I hope you recover quickly."

I gave him a grateful smile and nodded. As he turned to leave and process my discharge papers, my brother's voice stopped him cold.

"I appreciate everything you've done for my sister. But don't get your hopes up - make sure you stay just her friend, Dr. Nathan.
