Chapter 14: We Need to Talk

*Mia* I was stunned. "What was Willard doing?" At first, he turned his head away from me. I thought he was asleep again, but just as I was about to leave, he took my hand. He slept fitfully, and in his sleep, he seemed to be fighting something fiercely. This worried me. I took his hand instead and called his name, trying to wake him from his nightmare. But he took my hand so hard that I lost my balance and fell onto him. Was he kissing me? His lips were so soft. He kissed me so gently. He cupped my face in one hand as if it were a treasure. His other hand slid down my shoulder to my back, roaming it. I heard him murmur softly, "Mia, Mia, mark me..." Upon hearing these words, Krell's stubborn expression suddenly appeared in my mind, and I instantly became sober. I hurriedly pushed Willard away. It definitely wasn't because of Krell. I said that he wasn't my mate, but I had no idea why I would think of him in such a situation. Willard's eyes were half-closed. His usually clear eyes were now filled with desire. His voice was hoarse. "Mia..." My gaze accidentally fell on his lower body again. His p*nis poked his underwear into a tent, seemingly eager to break free. I quickly looked away, stood up, took a few steps back, and said hurriedly, "You just recovered. Have a good rest first." I ignored Willard's calling and fled the bedroom when I heard the sound of running water from the bathroom inside. *** *Willard* I stood at the door of the clinic and leaned against the corner of the wall, staring at the documents in my hand in a daze. I was temporarily staying in the clinic because of my injuries. Today, I had an appointment with Edward to meet here. Cars were coming and going along the road, and pedestrians were walking in a hurry. They were all busy with their own matters as if no one cared about the troubles in my heart. But the evening breeze was considerate. It blew through my hair as if calming my uneasiness. "Hey, what's going on? You don't look so well." Edward's voice sounded in my ear. I immediately came back to my senses. "To be honest, I think Tarot is very accurate. Let me show you your love horoscope. You're already old enough to find your mate," Edward said with a smile. I couldn't be bothered with him. I didn't want to admit that deep down, I already had found the best person for a mate. My wolf was hateful. It made me do that to Mia without me even realizing it. But I also thanked him. The wolf was right. He knew better what I craved than I did. Everything that happened that day was like a beautiful dream. I recalled it several times every day, every moment, and every feeling. I felt that I was in love. When I went to help Mia according to Krell's request, I only thought that she was cute, kind, and innocent, like a little girl who needed protection. But now, everything had changed. Her aura, her smell, and her body made the hungry wolf in my heart and body go crazy at any moment. I swore I didn't do it on purpose, but Mia was constantly lingering in my mind. I really couldn't do anything. I just wanted to rush to Mia's side. Edward became suspicious. He could tell from the expression on my face that something was wrong. "I was just joking just now, but you really seem to have an affair. Tell me now. Which girl made you fall for her? An innocent boy like you is definitely not playing around. You must have fallen for her." I stood up and threw the documents into Edward's arms. "You're here to fetch the documents, right? They're all here. Sort them out and send them to my brother's email." "Why aren't they organized? I thought you were quite capable," Edward asked as he looked at the documents in his hand. "There's been a lot of chores lately." I certainly wouldn't admit it was because I was thinking about Mia at work. Edward looked at me with a teasing gaze. "Because of your sweetheart? Why are you so much like your brother? He was so mesmerized by that little wolf called Mia that he was distracted at work. I could have gotten off work on time, but recently, I've been dragged down by him and have had to work overtime often. The two of you even look so similar when you're dating..." I was stunned. Krell likes Mia? Krell likes Mia too? No wonder my brother, who had always been outstanding and proud, acted so humble on the day Mia's clinic opened. Perhaps, when he sent me to help Mia, my brother had fallen in love with her. I was originally filled with joy and wanted to look for Mia, but Edward's words were like a bucket of cold water splashed on my head. Krell was Erindo's alpha. He was also my brother. He taught me combat skills like an elder. When I was bullied as a kid, he stood up for me. When we were homeless, he took the initiative to give me the food we found. He even took back the alpha's position that others had stolen. In general, he was a very good brother! My mind was a mess. "My brother or Mia? Can I disappoint my brother over a woman I have a crush on?" "Hey, Willard, it's cold outside. Come on in," Mia's considerate voice sounded in my ear. I turned around and looked at the clinic. It was very late, but there were still many patients in the clinic. Mia must be busy. I needed to help her. Mia asked me to quickly change and examine a patient as if nothing had happened. Mia's bright smile and busy look dispersed my confusion. No matter what happened between her and me in the future, I was still the doctor here. With this in mind, I answered her and went over. *** *Simon* The meetings had been ongoing for a few days, and they were really boring. There were all kinds of activities every day, but my mind had already drifted somewhere else long ago. I had left in a hurry that day. Willard had been injured and turned into a wolf. I wondered if Mia would be able to treat him properly. She was such a delicate girl. She must have been freaked out. I, however, had left in a hurry to attend such boring meetings when she needed my help the most. At the end of the event, I fled and drove off, not bothering to say hello to the guests who congratulated me on officially becoming the next alpha. When I arrived at the clinic's entrance, I realized that the clinic was quite busy. Through the window, I saw that Mia was asking a patient a question. Her beautiful profile did not have her usual smile at this moment. Instead, she had a serious expression. Her brows were slightly furrowed as she listened intently with a stethoscope on his chest. Then, the patient said something, and Mia put down her stethoscope. Her brows relaxed, and she said something. She even patted the patient's shoulder affectionately before turning her head to write a prescription. When the patient went out with the prescription and medicine, I saw that Mia was trying to reach behind and stretch her back. She must be exhausted. "My poor Mia." I parked and went to find her. I walked happily into Mia's consultation room, but the scene in front of me was unbearable. Mia closed her eyes and had a comfortable expression on her face. Standing behind her was Willard, the man who had been seriously injured that day and had already recovered. He was massaging Mia. His hand was placed on Mia's slender neck, squeezing and caressing it. I even heard Mia groan in pleasure. I suddenly flew into a rage. Neither of them noticed my presence. At this moment, a patient passed by the door. He looked at me and asked, "Do you want to see a doctor too? I don't remember seeing you here before. I think the numbers for today are used up. If you want to see a doctor in the future, you have to make an appointment at least a week in advance." Hearing the voice, Mia opened her eyes and looked over with Willard. 'Oh my god, the two of them even moved in unison,' I thought. Before Mia could speak, the patient said another enthusiastic farewell to Mia and Willard, then looked at them with a smile. "What a sweet couple you are. I hope I can attend your wedding before I move out of this block." Mia blushed and quickly stood up and ran over with a smile. She had no idea that I was about to go crazy. Willard looked at me. I looked back at him. This was a gaze between men. There was no need to say anything. We both knew what each other meant. I straightened Mia's shoulders and stared earnestly into her eyes. Her eyes were so bright, so innocent. I smiled and said softly, "Mia, we should talk."
