"Miss, we're here."

A knock and a voice pulled me from my sleep.

I opened my eyes but quickly shut them against the bright light. Sitting up straight, I rubbed my eyes and yawned.

Turning toward the window, I was surprised to see the driver standing outside. I rolled down the window as he bowed slightly, "Miss, we've arrived."

Frowning, I looked out the other window and realized we were parked right outside the Nightfall Pack's hospital.

"You've got to be kidding me," I muttered under my breath.

This wasn't part of my plan. I'd intended to check into a hotel first, freshen up, change clothes, and then visit Alpha Garrett.

The driver must have noticed my confusion because he nervously asked, "Is everything alright, Miss?" "I was planning to stop at a hotel first."

"I'm sorry, Miss. Alpha Magnus specifically ordered me to bring you straight to the hospital. He mentioned you didn't bring any clothes anyway, so there was no point in stopping elsewhere."

I rubbed my temples and sighed. My brother didn't trust Kane at all, which is why he wanted the driver to get me back to Iron Crown Pack as soon as possible.

I understood where he was coming from. If our roles were reversed, I wouldn't have let him come to this pack either.

"Fine," I said, pulling out my phone from my bag.

I checked my reflection, noticing my hair was a mess from sleeping with the window open. I quickly ran my fingers through it, trying to make myself presentable.

The driver held the door open for me. As I stepped out, I told him, "I'll call when I'm ready to head back." Looking up at the pack hospital, memories came flooding back.

This place held so many memories, especially from the day I left the pack. Right before leaving, I'd made Doctor Nathan promise to keep my secret.

"Doctor Nathan," I whispered, thinking about how loyal he'd been.

He'd kept my secret all these years, never breathing a word to anyone. I couldn't wait to see him again, to thank him for saving my life.

I glanced around, looking for the flower shop that used to be here. It had always been popular with visitors buying flowers for their loved ones in the hospital.

Deciding to get something for Alpha Garrett, I stopped a passerby. "Excuse me?"

"Yes?"

"Could you tell me where the flower shop is?"

"Oh, they moved it down that way a while back," he pointed left.

I walked to the new location, not bothering to have the driver take me. The shop was beautifully decorated. I picked out two bouquets - one for Alpha Garrett and another for Doctor Nathan.

That's when I saw them - white Stargazer lilies. The sight stopped me in my tracks.

Kane's mother had once told me they were his favorite flowers. I remembered giving him a bouquet of these after our wedding. His response? He'd said everything I touched turned to ash. That gift marked the beginning of his constant put-downs and cruel remarks.

"Ma'am?" The florist's voice snapped me back to reality.

"Oh, sorry."

"Your bouquets are ready," she said, handing them to me.

After paying, I headed straight to the hospital's front desk.

"Hi, is Doctor Nathan available?" I asked.

The receptionist gave me a once-over, eyeing the flowers with raised eyebrows. "Do you know Doctor Nathan personally?" she asked, her tone slightly condescending.

"Yes, I'm an old friend."

"Let me check." She glanced at her computer. "He's in surgery right now but should be free in a few hours."

"Thanks. I'd also like to see Alpha Garrett. Could you tell me his room number?"

She frowned and reached for the phone.

"Who are you calling?" I asked, though I already knew the answer.

"No one sees him without our Alpha's permission," she said curtly. "I'm calling Alpha Kane."
