Aria
I trail behind Lucas, trying to figure out what’s going on. My bruises aren’t even that bad, but here we are, standing in front of the medical center like I just lost a leg in battle. He doesn’t explain, just opens the door and strides in.
The middle-aged woman at the desk spots us and immediately lights up. “Alpha Lucas! What brings you here?” her eyes darted to me like she’s trying to spot the emergency.
“Everything’s fine,” Lucas says briskly. “Just get me a first aid box.”
She scurries off to do his bidding like he’s the freaking wolf king. Meanwhile, I’m just standing there thinking, Really? A whole first aid box for one tiny bruise?
“She’s the ship doctor,” Lucas explains as he pulls out a chair for me. “And part of my pack.”
Great. Fantastic. But why am I here?
The doc
