Aria’s POV “My life has been wonderful enough,” Caleb continued. “I was honored to give everything for the security and fortune of my pack, but I am an old man. I’m done fighting now. This body is giving up on me and I want to listen to and respect what it’s saying.” “I understand,” I told him,
“That defense will be considered,” Lucian said, glaring. “That’s not the one I spoke with,” Silas said. “Tell them, Carl,” the younger Healer said. “Tell them I was only going along with it.” “Shut up, you,” Carl snapped, giving the younger Healer a harsh shove. The man skidded sideways, pushi
Aria’s POV “A debt is unnecessary,” I said, and looked away, not wanting to look at him anymore. Looking at him, my heart raced. Would he be saying these things if he knew I was Aria? My feelings for Lucian were overwhelming. His gesture of thanks meant a lot to me, but I was still angry with

Aria’s POV At the hospital, with my mask firmly in place again, I walked with Silas down to the first floor to see him off. We’d talked for a few hours after our conversation about Lucian, speaking about memories of the past as well as some of our more recent medical achievements. Now, unfortuna
Lucian’s POV An ice cold feeling started within me, where my heart was, and stretched outwards along my limbs to the very tips of my fingers and the base of my toes. Aria and Matt used to date. Sick to my stomach, I couldn’t stand the sight of the picture anymore. I tucked it away in my pocket
Matt, especially, deserved better than the quarter of my heart I could maybe offer him. So distracted by my thoughts, I shampooed my hair twice and totally forgot the conditioner. By the time I stepped out of the shower, I had no idea if I was actually clean at all. Sighing, I toweled myself off

Aria’s POV Once again, I was caught off-guard by how good of a man Lucian was. Not for the first time, he had come to Dr. A’s rescue. If only he had done the same for me when I was Aria, but he could not see my qualities as Aria as easily as he could Dr. A’s. It made me proud and gave me heartac
