Lauren''s POV


    In the study.


    The day we set out for the Midnight ws Tribe, I was giving Victor a physical checkup. I squeezed his legs gently and moved on to his thighs, asking in a t tone, "How are you feeling right now? Is there any difort? Tell me if there''s any difort so that I can better evaluate your physical condition."


    When I was being Victor''s attending doctor, I would be all professional and wouldn''t see him as my alpha but as my patient.


    Victor said, "I feel great, even after a good run."


    Feeling the strong muscles of his legs and knowing how good he was when he was training hisbat skills, I knew he wasn''t lying. His body condition almost went back to his formal level.


    "Great. Then let''s stick to the n we have now and you and Kent will get a full recovery within a month."


    "But..."


    Victor frowned confusedly.


    I continued, "Do we need to put a pause on your training when we go to the Midnight ws Tribe?"


    Victor needed to hide the truth about his recovery from everyone at least before the meeting of the Midnight ws Tribe started.


    "Yes," Victor nodded, "but it''s okay. it''s only for a few days."


    So of course we couldn''t continue ourbat training. But we could still do some exercises in our bedroom. I changed the schedule in my hand a little. If he kept sitting in the wheelchair for too long like before, he might have muscr atrophy, which would be bad for Victor''s recovery. But I assume he wouldn''t need to hide it for too long.


    Plus, I got my healing power.


    Victor turned to look at the changes on the schedule and said by my ear flirtatiously, "Training in our bedroom sounds nice."


    "Well, some basic exercises will..." It took me a few seconds to realize what he meant and my ears turned red when I felt his warm breath. I nudged his head and said, "Get those wild thoughts out of your head. I''m working, alpha."


    Victor said with a straight face, "I meant regr training. What were you thinking, Dr. Lauren?"


    I would''ve believed him if he hadn''t stained me with his peppermint scent inside and out when we were in bedst night. I raised my eyebrows and talked back, "What do you mean by regr training? Alpha Victor, the look in your eyes tells everything." Victor chuckled as if he had lost this battle and gave a peck on the back of my hand, "That''s good exercise, isn''t it?"


    He was right.


    Now Victor had known my body pretty well and knew all of my sensitive spots. And when he ran his big hands over my body, I always couldn''t help shivering and felt like my entire body melted in his hands. I loved the pleasure he granted me and to be honest, making love with Victor was indeed super enjoyable.


    But...


    When we were about to lose control, I could feel his strong desire to mark me. He buried his head in my corbone, yearning to bite my neck and mark me. But somehow he managed to suppress his urge at that point and didn''t do it. "Lauren, sweetie, how I wish I can mark you now..." He murmured to my ears.


    Victor was really a man who always kept his promise. He promised to make it proper and mark me after the ceremony and he did make his desire and urge under control.


    "By the way, Lauren," Victor brought me back to my senses, "is the checkup done?"


    I nced at him up and down and nodded, "Yeah. I think M and Richard are waiting..."


    "Are you sure?" Victor pointed at my notebook, "don''t we need to check this one?"


    I looked down and saw where he pointed.


    Erectile function.


    Do the injuries cause erectile dysfunction?


    Thinking about all the pillow talk during sex, my face blushed and I couldn''t stay calm and be his attending doctor in front of him anymore. I tossed the checkup form to his arms and red at him, "Not anymore!" Then I heard him chuckling behind my back.


    I stopped and went to take back the checkup form from him. Then I wrote something in the column and said, "Are you happy now, alpha Victor?"


    Victorughed even harder.


    I threw the form back to him and walked away. But I was still a little pissed and said, "You vindictive alpha!"


    He giggled from behind.


    But then he pulled me back and said gently, "It''s just that I remember every little thing about you."


    I froze and didn''t struggle out of his embrace. I looked up at him and asked, "Who taught you this sweet talk?"


    It was a little bit too sweet.


    But my heart still melted.


    Victor''s lips twitched a bit.


    Now with that little interruption, I wasn''t so pissed anymore and I wasn''t really mad at Victor anyway. I patted his hand and said, "Alright. Let''s go. M and Richard have been waiting for a while." "Wait a sec."


    He let go of me and went to sit down in his wheelchair which hadn''t been used for a long time. I froze when I saw him like this. I felt like I hadn''t seen him in his wheelchair for ages. Be gasped in my head, "He has just recovered not long ago. Why do I feel like it''s been so long since thest time he was in his wheelchair?"


    "Yeah..." I said with some strange feelings in my chest, "it won''t happen again."


    Be asked, "What do you mean?"


    "I won''t let him get hurt again," I said in my mind as if I was making amitment, "and even if he does get injured, I will definitely cure him."


    I pushed him out of the room like I did before and it seemed like M had been waiting in the living room for a long time. She looked at us and joked, "I thought you were gonna take some time cuddling and we were about to take a little walk in the garden." "If you wanna go on a date, just say it and you guys can go right now," I teased her back.


    M coughed a little, changed the topic and said, "I''m more looking forward to the trip to the Midnight ws Tribe."


    "Then let''s go."


    We set out for the center of the Midnight ws Tribe and the views outside the windows got less and less familiar to me. M and I were in the same car and when we got into the car, she couldn''t contain herself anymore and asked, "Lauren, I''m really curious." "What did you bring with you in your luggage?!"
