Lauren POV

What Victor just said really shocked me and I wasn't so sad anymore.

And even the temperature in the room was getting higher.

I could see in his eyes that he was regretting what he had said but soon he became cold and distant a If I hadn't seen how he squeezed on the armrest of the wheelchair harder, I would've thought he was I smiled, "Alpha Victor, what you've just said might be a little misleading. Or are you willing to be a go "I only do that for you," Victor instantly replied.

And I stopped teasing.

The atmosphere was getting weirder.

But then Victor coughed a little and continued, "You're my doctor and caretaker. For the sake of my he He made a point.

But based on how he fired more than a dozen of caretakers, I didn't think that he would really care ab It was obvious that he was worried about me but he always said what he didn't mean. I didn't know th I couldn't help but laugh and wasn't so upset anymore.

"Rest assured. I'm a professional and I'll do whatever I can to help you recover," I said with a smile. "A professional?" Victor sneered after he thought of something.

And I suddenly remembered how excited Bella was about checking his sexual function when Victor an

"I'll come over after I change my clothes." I shut the door to interrupt him.

After I got changed, I knocked on the door of his study.

"If you're tired, we can skip tonight's massage," Victor put down the files and said.

Yet you're still waiting here? I thought to myself.

t met and his words made me blush.

I held back my feelings and smiled at him, "I don't think we should stop your massage. I won't let my personal affairs affect your treatment."

Hearing that, he pursed his lips and said no more.

I rolled up his trouser legs and his calves hadn't atrophied because of his disability. Instead, they were still very hard when I squeezed them, from which I could tell how strong this body once was and his wolf must have been quite powerful too. Thinking of that, I suddenly felt sad for him. He bred his own wolf but then had to watch it disappear. It was indeed a dreadful thing to experience and I knew it was as painful as losing your soul.

Losing your wolf meant losing half your life.

If only Bella could find his wolf. But how could I do that without letting Victor find out about my superpower?

As I was wondering, Victor said in his deep voice, "Lauren, if you don't feel well, we can postpone the treatment. I'll give you time to deal with your stuff."

I came back to my senses and didn't stop what I was doing. He wasn't warning and was sincerely giving me a proposal.

I shook my head, "No need for that. I was just thinking if there's a better way to treat you."

Victor didn't let me change the subject as if he cared more about my stuff instead of his legs and he asked, "Do you need my help?"

"What?" I looked up at him and asked.

"The thing you're worried about," Victor paused for a second and said, "you can tell me if you're faced with some difficulties. Maybe I can help. After all, we're in a partnership."

I was so used to relying on myself but Victor reached out to me in a very sophisticated way. He didn't ask me that in a condescending way and he didn't pity me. He was just telling me that this could be a good deal for both of us. It was just a deal with no strings attached. I didn't need to feel like I owed him a big favor or he pitied me.

"And in return, I cure your legs?"

"You can say that," Victor answered.

Something crossed my mind and I was lost in thought as I stared into his eyes. I didn't know if this man was worth me showing my power to him but somehow I trusted him.

"Victor, what kind of person am I to you?"

I didn't know why I asked him that kind of question and it sounded like I was making a hint.

But Victor didn't think that I was flirting. He thought about it for a while and then looked into my eyes, saying, "A mysterious and special woman."

"Mysterious? Special?" I was shocked when I heard his answer.

Victor said slowly, "You have so many secrets in you. You always want people to think that you're tough and cold but you're not that kind of person. You're just using that as your shield." "But wolves aren't supposed to be alone. Maybe you can try finding your mates some time. Oh, I didn't mean that kind of mate or soulmate. Just friends or partners."

"I'm sorry if I offended you," Victor added after answering my question.

But I wasn't offended at all. His golden eyes looked right into mine and I let down my guard in front of me.

It was odd.

I had only spent a few weeks around this alpha of another tribe yet he knew me better and had more faith in me than my own father. Wolves never liked being alone and I wasn't born this way either. I just couldn't find my place in the Fullmoon Tribe and the Blanco family.

But today, I had a sense of belonging in front of Victor and I wasn't even in the territory of my tribe.

On the spur of a moment, I suddenly asked, "Victor, do you wanna try a different treatment?"

Victor was confused.

I thought this over and then mumbled, "I can give you a different treatment... Not only can I massage you and help your legs recover, but I can also help you find your wolf." "It's just a possibility. Maybe I have a chance to awaken your wolf."
