Chapter 91
“Because of you,” She scoffed. “I was nearly exploded. Then Vivian wrote a letter of recommendation and saved my ass
That made me pause. I glance at her. “What?”
“Vivian wrote the teacher for me,” she says. “Not you. She told me a few days later. She’s a good friend. In the end.”
I study her face. The certainty there. The need.
I could correct her.
I don’t.
“Good,” I say simply. “Then focus on your second chance and leave me alone.”
She rolls her eyes like a dismissal and looks away to Dominic across the room. An instant smile.
But I keep my eyes on my work as the stations are assigned. I’m with a small Beta. Karina with…Dominc.
I swear she lowered her shirt and unbuttoned part of her lab coat. All professionalism out the window.
“Oh, Alpha,” she says lightly, sitting on table next to Dom. “Looks like we’re paired.”
I don’t look up as I settle on my partner, Meg, and some how, Dominic and Karnia on stationed to the table behind us.
I check meg’s pulse, calm and steady beneath my fingers. “How have you been feeling?” I ask her.
But her eyes are glue to Dominic, like a pup in heat.
My lashes lower.
I guess I was hard not to look at the show happening behind us.
Karina giggled liek a school girl, feeling up his arm.
Dom stiffened, leaning away slightly.
“Hi. Question. Thought you were expelled?” Dominic says flatly.
Karina laughs. “That’s harsh. I’m still one of the top healers here, love!”
His brow lowered. “You crossed a line. Lied. Used my name to do it.”
“That was the old me,” she replies smoothly. “People change.”
I almost smirk. What a load of crap.

He lays down, and her hand moves as she leans over the table, chest pressing deliberately into his art as she reaxles to take
heart rate.
My jaw tightens.
God she was so annoying. But I keep my focus exactly where it belongs
Dominic’s voice drops. “Quit it ”
“Yeah,” Karina murmurs, breathy, squeezing his muscle “What are you going his sha akid, it
What are they?
I glance back, Domini laying down Karuna par actly over famtical paraules and brand or Nor

My hand slams down my stethoscope, everyone jumping as I smile to Meg. “Can you turn around for me?” My smile tight. “I need to listen from you back.”
I block out everything happening behind me.
Not my problem.
Just finish my assessment, jot down clean notes, and move on without sparing that circus behind me another glance.
Dominic POV
Being paired with Karina is a test of patience.
Honestly, I thought she was already gone. Good riddance too, nothing but a lapping pup for attention and screwing my good name over to do it.
Then, we’re paired.
Right next to Ellie’s table.
Not that I expected her to look at me. But I did.
And she didn’t.
She angles her body away when I enter the room, focus stays clinical, professional. She moves from station to station like I don’t exist. Like last night never happened.
Why was she like this? She nearly kisses me, and now I’m nothing?
A growl almost escapes my throat as I sit and Karina leans in, fingers sliding over my wrist, as she reaches for the pulse point.
Her shirt is nearly low enough for her chest to fall out. Lab coat undone. Subtle.
I take a deep breath. “How long is this going to take?”
She smirks. “As long as you can last.”
My wolves ears flatten.
I lay down when she asks, her chest practically presses into my hand as she leans over the table, giving me an opening she clearly expects me to take.
I don’t.
“You can stop,” I say quietly.
Karina laughs, soft and breathy. “Relax. It’s just part of the assessment ”
I pull my arm away, when Ellie drops her stethoscope. Loud.
Im not sure why is small spark in me lit up. She’s jealous. Or so I thought
But she doesn’t look over, eyes on Megs, moving on with the exam
Anger curls low in my chest
When she was in my arms, she was like a different. Did that all rally metengwa kad tow alone card another girl was trying to force me to a feel
I don’t understand how both versions of her can raid
Professor Hale clears her throat.
“Listen up.”
The room stills.
“For the next phase,” she announces, “your real-world scenario teams have been assigned.”
I straighten.
“Ellie,” she reads. “Per your request, you will instructing Marcel, Jenna, Kim, and…Dominic.”
My gaze snaps up.
Per-request?
Ellie finally looks at me.
Something in me settles, and tightens, at the same time.
