"Now that she's gone, can I expect any other wolves to show up in my clinic today?" The doctor looked at me, emphasizing the word wolves as he asked the question. I raised an eyebrow. "This was the only one we found," I looked at the name on his lab coat, "Doctor Blake." "And you're Alpha Damian, if I'm not mistaken." I kept my face impassive even as the shock went through me. Caine, however, did not. "I'm sorry?" Doctor Blake looked at each of us. "I've lived in this town my entire life, barring my time away for education. You think we don't hear the rumors? Don't know what's in the forest? Now, you show up with a wolf that's larger than he should be, in an area that hasn't seen a natural wild wolf for over one hundred years. One who had his side mangled by teeth, not an iron trap."
