Adrian's POV
"Are you sure about what you're asking me to do for you?" My doctor's concerned voice broke the silence as I lay on the ward bed, staring at him.
In the dead of night, I had driven myself all the way here, to the outskirts of the city. Did he think I would request this of him if I hadn't already made up my mind?
"Of course I have. I've weighed my options and it isn't worth it. I'd rather live my life on my own terms now…" I whispered, even though I barely knew what that meant.
All I knew was that I would be alone, endlessly suppressing the desires I dared not name. That was the only way I could keep my crown. The only way I could become Alpha, like I promised nanny Brielle. The only way I could protect anyone.
"Adrian, what you're asking me to do is beyond medical ethics… I...."
"Have you ever had a man deliver a pup under your care before?" I cut him off sharply, my voice low.
