Austin's POV
I sense Lara's determination to lead this confrontation, so I lean back in my chair and let her take control.
"When Alpha Gerry forced his way into the Academy to mark me, he mentioned something about getting me pregnant at the same time," Lara starts. Dr. Bernard makes a dismissive sound.
"That would have been medically impossible. You're on hormonal birth control. I assumed he understood that basic fact."
"He claimed he had switched my implant with a fake one," she responds.
"That's ridiculous. I personally administered your injection. How could he possibly..." Dr. Bernard stops mid-sentence, his expression darkening. "That bastard."
He shoots to his feet. I'm instantly between him and the two women I'm sworn to protect.
The doctor freezes, staring at me before looking past my shoulder. "You believe I'm responsible for this?"
"Are you?" My voice comes out as a threatening rumble.
