Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 113

Lauren's POV

"It must be Dr. Lauren's magic, "Victor joked as if he really didn't care about that.

But I got the answer from those deep, calm golden eyes.

Yeah, Victor was such a clever guy and there was no way he didn't figure out I use my special healing power to cure him. But he didn't ask me any detail about my healing power, like how did I get it or what could be done with it. Grandma once worried that anyone

who knew about my healing power would be hunger for that or would even take advantage of me. But Victor was different. He just pretended he didn't know anything because I didn't tell him.

"You can think of it as some kind of magic," I chuckled and couldn't believe how cool we were about this topic, "it's a type of healing power and it came to me along with Bella like a miracle on the year I had my first shift."

Victor's eyes shimmered with bright sunlight as he said, "...It's indeed miraculous magic."

"You and your wolf Bella are both something special," he said calmly and stroked my cheeks with his big hands.

"Thanks, I know," Bella agreed gladly in my head, "I've always known that I'm special." This guy was really...

I didn't know if it was because of what Bella said or how Victor reacted that I couldn't help laughing. Then I slowly started telling him what happened during the surgery, "I used my healing power to cleanse off the dark matters on your knees that day and I supposed that should be the scar left by the Dark Enchantress so the other doctors didn't notice that, which was why it was difficult for your legs to heal."

"During the last surgery, they managed to take out the debris but didn't find the dark substances you mentioned. A doctor with a special healing power like you is one in a million," Victor could keep it cool now when he talked about the history, "every once in a while, I could feel the pain in my knees in the middle of the night."

"That's probably it," I said, "it's a good thing that we finally decided to do this surgery."

Or else it would be hard for me to find the dark substances in Victor's knees.

"With your powers, maybe the other way will also work for you," Victor smiled, "after all, you're Dr. Lauren and you're capable of anything."

I was flushing when he showered me with his compliments like this and I wondered if it was just my illusion that Victor wasn't so introverted as before ever since Kent came back and he would always think the best of me. Sometimes I even thought he was going a little too much. But in front of other people, he was still the same cold and assertive alpha he always was.

I looked down and asked curiously, "What were you thinking when you found out I have this healing power?"

Victor thought for a while and answered, "I'm lucky."

"What?"

"I'm lucky that I met you," Victor looked right into my eyes and said seriously.

Victor's POV

Lauren was a little stunned when she heard that.

I repeated it again.

Before I met Lauren, I always felt like I was the master of my own fate and I had never thought of trusting my future partner with my life. Even after I got engaged, I still thought partners were fragile and needed protection. But Lauren was totally different. That period was the darkest time of my life. Kent was asleep and I couldn't walk. I knew there were a lot of people waiting for the day I fell. I felt like my entire world was shadowed by black clouds and it hurt every time I breathed. But Lauren shone into my life like a ray of sunlight coming through the dark clouds and chasing the monsters away.

She was like the brightest sunlight.

"Just because I happen to have special healing power?"

"That's part of the reason," I didn't deny this and it was a gift from the Moon Goddess to meet Lauren who happened to have the power to heal my legs and wake up Kent, "even if you don't have that kind of power, I will still be attracted by you." Lauren was stunned for a second and then laughed, "You're really...getting better at this sweet talk."

She thought I was just being corny and had no idea how wonderful she was.

Lauren idly lay down on the grass and the shimmering sunlight shone into her eyes and made them sparkle as she looked at the clear blue sky. I lay down right next to her and Lauren didn't turn to look at me. She just asked, "The only people who know about my healing power are Mila and my grandma. When I first knew I have this in me, I was more afraid than glad."

"Why?"

"I was afraid that I don't have what it takes to own this power," Lauren said slowly, "and Mila told me not to tell anyone about this. As you said, it's a very special power."

A power that was special and useful might get some unwanted attention and if she wasn't capable enough to protect herself, she would be in great danger.

"Manuel doesn't know it either," Lauren said, "if he knows it, he won't think highly of me or worry about my safety. He would just think that I become bigger leverage." She pretended to be joking.

However, my heart ached a little and I couldn't help holding her hand, "That idiot doesn't see what you have in you."

"You don't need to comfort me. I don't care about them anymore," Lauren laughed, "they always think that I'm weak and Bella is a weak wolf of no use."

"A bunch of morons," Bella grunted with contempt.

"What about you?" Lauren turned to me and stared at me with those beautiful amber eyes, "what were you thinking when you first knew about my healing power? When I hadn't known you well enough, I was worried that you might be one of those possessive alphas." Lauren was being subtle about this.

But I knew what she meant.

Possessing a woman with beauty and power was many men's dream and I had heard that some cruel and arrogant people would imprison people with special abilities and make them their pets.

I guessed that was what Lauren was worried about at the beginning but she still decided to use her power to help me heal.

"You thought I would imprison you?"

"Will you?" Lauren smiled and asked me that question but her tone told me she knew I wouldn't do that.

I took a good look at her gorgeous face and couldn't help stroking her rosy cheeks with my fingers. I said in a deep voice, "I can be really possessive too."

I wanted her to only see me in her eyes and wanted her whole world to orbit around mine. I didn't want her to give her attention to anyone else, even if it was her patients. I wanted her life to be all about me and I wanted all of her attention. The possessiveness of alpha was creepy and dreadful, wasn't it?

That was the side of me I didn't want Lauren to see.

And I would never do that to her.

"Imprisonment is only for the weak and the insecure," I said slowly, "I know you will be by my side."

Lauren paused for a moment and laughed, "You're cocky, alpha."

Before I could say anything, Lauren leaned in for a big kiss on my cheek and said, "But you're right, you have the charisma to make me stay, Victor."

"Are you returning the favor of my compliments just then?"

"If you think so."

I grabbed her waist and didn't let her get away from me. I whispered into her ears, "I can be really possessive, Miss Lauren. I want you to see nobody but me in this world...

But I know you're not a candle in the wind. You shine bright and have your own light."
