Alaric’s POV
The doctors call Cara back into Mia’s room for an update, and I’m left in the waiting room alone with my thoughts.
My butler called me. “Sir, Eamon Arbun and his brothers have arrived at the hospital.‘
1 asked, “No other men? Has anyone else applied to enter DarkWood?”
He replied, “No… just the Arbuns.”
A fresh wave of anger rushes up through me.
What is Cara’s new husband
up
to?!
I would never act like he is acting right now.
I would be there with Cara and Mia through anything.
I would never leave them.
…STOP!
No more!
All this guilt I feel for Cara… for how Lilia treated her… For the accident that resulted in Cara’s miscarriage six years ago…
It’s simply my guilt.
சம்
My guilt won’t let me think straight. After all this time, after six years, the guilt is still there.
It’s messing with my head, making me think in these crazy ways. I don’t love Cara, I don’t want to be her husband.
…Have the best doctors come to the hospital immediately. As soon as possible. We must cure BloodyMoon’s Princess, Mia,” I commanded before hanging up the phone.
I just want to see my former packmate, my former Beta, treated as well as she deserves. I want to see her treated like a princess should be treated.
That’s all.
I don’t want to be Mia’s stepfather. And as an alpha king, I can’t do this either.
She’s another pack‘ princess…I can’t do this.
I stand from the table in the waiting room and move to leave. It’s probably time for me to get back to work. I make a mental note to check on

Cara and Mia later on.
I check my phone for emails and see I’m already falling behind on work. I push my lips together in a hard line and prepare myself another day of tough negotiations.
I’m almost to the waiting room door when I look up to see the red–headed Auburn brothers heading towards me.
Speaking of tough negotiations…
Eamon has a harsh look on his face, like he’s in a bad mood. And he’s looking right at me.
Here we go.

Eamon’s POV
As if this situation couldn’t get any worse, I hear word that Alaric is still at the hospital with Cará. That he never left after bringing Mia to the hospital.
Why can’t he just keep his word and stay away from her?!
He must stay away from both of them.
I’m thankful that he saved Cara from her attack, but he must not get too close to her. He must not sink his claws back into her.
And if he finds out about Mia… Who knows what he’ll do then….
I simply don’t trust him. He has already proved that he can’t be trusted to keep a promise, at least not when it comes to my sister.
My brothers and I catch him alone in the hospital waiting room. Aidan and Ryan circle around his left, Colin on his right. And me right in front.
We’ve got him surrounded.
“What do you think
u’re doing?” I ask him tensely. “Why are you still here?” There’s an edge to my voice, letting Alaric know that I’m deadly serious.
“No one else is here. I wouldn’t have to be here if she hadn’t been left alone!” Alaric’s tone
is sour and full of bitterness.
“Well, we’re here now.” I reply, matching his bitterness with my own.
“I’m not talking about you,” he retorts back.
This comment surprises me.
“Then who are you talking about, Alaric?” I ask
“That terrible husband of hers! He should be hare, and you care about what I’m doing?! Why aren’t you all tracking HIM down, dragging his ass here?!” Alaric’s eyes hold anger
and frustration.
