“So now that we’ve established you once again have no idea what you’re talking about, let’s put the final nail in this coffin,” I about purred, focusing on Dr. Tate. “And how silly you were to listen to this woman’s idiocy and manipulation.”

“Dr. Tate is—” Gordon started to blast.

“Not going to be a doctor much longer,” I chuckled, spilling the beans. I smirked at her. “‘Criminal negligence,’ right? That’s what you’ve been charged with so far. They’re still deciding what else to bring against you after you killed—”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she seethed. “You’re making up wild stories to cover how you behaved yesterday and—”

“It’s true,” Ha-joon said from my left.

I hadn’t even known he was there. I blinked at him a moment, internally wincing at how much trouble I was probably in personally after he learned about me being a doctor this way.

“I just received the same information from my mum,” he said firmly, meeting Mandy’s gaze. “Go ahead, tell everyone here that the Alpha Mate of London is a liar, Mandy.” He chuckled when she didn’t. “Yeah, I didn’t think so when your family is still in that pack. And it’s astupidplay. Just because you got a new job here doesn’t mean the charges won’t be—”

“She thinks we’d cover it up so the hospital wasn’t embarrassed,” Dr. James chuckled. “No, we wouldn’t. We’d be the first to turn you over.” He chuckled when Mandy seemed equal parts shocked and disbelieving. “Youare the problem, and we protect the good medical staff here. The patients. Who you are a threat to. So yes, we’d turn you in.”

“Immediately,” one of the other department heads confirmed.

“And you thought if you announced we were together again that my parents would intervene for you,” Ha-joon added as he moved closer to her with a sneer. “Except they always hated you. Your family was almost kicked out for how you treated me when we were kids. But we’renotkids anymore and I’m not some dork who lets a pretty girl push him around.

“You’retoxic. You’re a manipulative narcist who cannot accept responsibility and blames everyone else. Who are you blaming for killing a pregnant woman and her child, Mandy? Who are you going to try and pin this on? This is why I told people not to hire you. You learn nothing from your mistakes and think you can skate through—”

I was there in a flash to grab her wrist when she went to slap him. “No, you don’t get to smack him for speaking thetruth. You killed that woman and her baby.” I glanced behind the group and smiled. “And my people are too smart to believe your crap and will do as they should.”

She glanced back and went pale. “Why would you call the police here? The matter to handle is in the UK—”

“Which youfled,” I purred, not letting her go when she tried to pull away. It surprised her. A wolf was normally stronger than a vampire.

Normally. I was much older and special.

“You missed your hearing,Ms.Tate. A warrant is issued then. This whole plan was ridiculous. They would have just come to collect you from here once—”

“It’s in your contracts that your attorneys will protect the doctors,” she snapped.

Oh fuck, this woman was ridiculous. “From problemshereat the hospital. Not just anything you do, idiot.” I nodded to the police who moved through the people. “This woman is wanted in the UK for serious charges. I assume you know who to contact and how to hand her over.”

He nodded. “Your security briefed us when they called and said they’d hold her. Thank you very much.”

“Get your hands off of me,” Mandy screeched as he went to put handcuffs on her.

“If you shift now, there will be additional charges and in North America,” the officer warned her.

She went off on him, bile coming out of her mouth. She had some choice words for me as well and even threatened Ha-joon that he would always regret doing this to her.

He laughed. Full belly laughed and had to hold his side which took a lot of the steam out of her.

Then she was gone. People watching the show shocked and confused. Well, those who came later were or even patients coming in for appointments.

It was so horrible we were doing this all in the main lobby. It disgusted me to see more patients coming in and witnessing this.

“Resign from your positions and you will get the rest of the quarter’s pay or I take the seats away through paperwork I don’t want to do and you get nothing,” I told the remaining board members. I waved for security to handle them. “Get their hospital identification and security credentials to access areas. Also, add them to the banned list.”

“You don’t have the authority to—” Gordon tried to blast.

“I do. We all know I do,” I drawled.

“You’re just a mouthpiece for the founder, and I demand to talk to him. He has to know what’s happening here,” he seethed, shoving away one of our guards when he tried to grab him. “I will end you—”

Alan lost his temper and grabbed Gordon. “Youassumewe’re not all in communication with the founder and owner of this hospital. We are.We knowwho they are.”
