"What if Dr. W is just your ex-girlfriend Aria in disguise?"
The suggestion is so absurd I almost laugh.
"That's ridiculous," I say sharply. "Absolutely ridiculous."
Celeste blinks up at me, her expression innocent. "Is it? I mean, Aria did study healing. She worked at the pack clinic. And no one's ever seen Dr. W's face—"
"Enough." I cut her off, my patience snapping. "Dr. W is a legendary healer with years of experience and a reputation that spans territories. Aria was a rankless orphan who barely knew basic herbs. They're nothing alike."
"But—"
"I said enough, Celeste." My voice comes out harder than I intend, and she flinches slightly. "Stop talking nonsense."
She presses her lips together, her eyes flashing with something I can't quite read. But she doesn't argue.
Good
