Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 3

Lauren POV

My mother found out about Janice, who was only six months younger than me, and Manuel's secret lover Lola when I was eight. My mother was a pride but fragile woman. She couldn't stand the fact that her husband had been cheating on her all these years. She felt heartbroken and humiliated, and she eventually chose to commit suicide to punish Manuel. But she was too naive because Manuel only mourned for a year and then he brought Lola and their daughter home. Manuel was just a ruthless hypocrite and Lola and her daughter were exactly as hypocritical as him.

Lola pulled her tricks to steal Manuel from my mother and Janice used the same way to steal my fiancé, which was ironic.

But I wasn't my mother. I wouldn't kill myself just because of a man. Michael was nothing but a jerk, a trash. He didn't deserve me. And I shouldn't even feel sad about this.

Of course I wouldn't marry this foolish and fake man but I wouldn't let them get married the way they wanted. I wasn't sad but I still held a grudge. They wanted my blessing? No way. They were way too shameless.

Kean, the alpha of the Lunarko Tribe, was a respectable leader. He and my mother were great friends so there was no way for him to let Janice replace me and let this freakshow go on. Janice must have thought of that, which was why she and my father used this plot to force me to cancel the engagement myself.

Let them figure it out themselves. I thought to myself willfully.

And then, I got a call from the hospital I worked for.

"Dr Blanco, there's a VIP patient that needs you to check his condition."

"I'll be there in a minute."

In the hospital

"He's in the VIP room on the top floor. Please go there and take a look," a nurse told me, "this is his case report from the Central Hospital and here's the list of items to check."

I took the list from her and completely focused on this case. Just as I was trying to see what the items were, a woman interrupted me by screaming in the VIP room.

"We need to break off this engagement! Victor, there's no way I'm gonna marry you!"

Break off the engagement?

I was immediately distracted and was surprised at how many times I had heard that term today.

I took a look at the man in the VIP room through the glass window. He was an unbelievably handsome man and looked like a piece of art made by God. His eyes were golden and they shone bright like diamonds. There was a red beauty spot at the outer corner of his eye and he was indeed a charming man.

But...

He was sitting in a wheelchair.

The man named Victor looked up and his eyes darkened under the lights. He said in a deep voice, "You wanna get out of this so bad?"

The woman with curly long hair was a bit intimidated by him. She paused and then said with guilt, "Victor, breaking off this engagement is good for both of us."

Good for both of them?

I almost laughed out loud. She and Janice would be great friends together and would have a lot to talk about.

"You've really thought it through?" Victor asked coldly.

"Yeah!" the woman only hesitated for a second and then nodded, persuading him, "just sign it now."

Victor didn't waste any time and signed the paper right away. He still looked quite frigid and didn't seem to be sad at all.

But the woman suddenly started gloating after she got the annulment, "Victor, you're useless now. You've lost your wolf and your ability to walk. You should understand that no one would be willing to spend her life with a useless..."

The woman had gone too far and I couldn't bear it anymore. I pushed the door open and interrupted her coldly, "Are you done?"

"If you're done, get the hell out of here. Don't be a waste of space here." I said bluntly.

The woman clearly didn't expect that someone would barge in and she said furiously, "Who are you?"

I wanted to say that I was a doctor but I could tell from the look on her face that she would get jealous even though she didn't want this man anymore. After all, for this type of person who was unbelievably arrogant, the man was nothing but one of her belongings to her.

I walked up to Victor slowly and raised my eyebrows at her, saying vaguely, "Me? I'm the most important person in the world for him now."

I didn't lie anyway. The attending doctor really was the most important person for this Mr. Victor, right?

The woman was irritated and she screamed at me and Victor as she pointed her finger at us, "Victor, who is this woman? Have you been cheating on me all this time?"

Cheating?

I found her quite ridiculous. Who was her to judge Victor? She was the one who dumped him?! But I didn't say anything sarcastic and just smiled at her with contempt, "What's that have to do with you? This is the VIP room and no one is allowed to be here without the patient's permission. So could you please leave? You have nothing to do with him now, ma'am."

The woman was stunned as her face turned pale but she still refused to leave. She started to question me, "Why the hell do I have to go? Victor, tell me who she is now!"

How shameless could she be? When her fiance was severely injured, she immediately requested to break off the engagement. Now, she still had the guts to question him?!

I sneered and reminded her, "You just broke up with him and you have no right to ask for an explanation from Victor."

That was like a slap in the face to her. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she glared at me, yelling hysterically, "Shut up! I'm Victor's fiancée! Victor, you must explain this to me or else I won't let this slide..."

"Shut up," Victor, who had been quiet the whole time, interrupted her as an alpha and demanded, "get out of here. Now."

At this point, no matter how mad this woman was, she had to leave this room immediately before she glared at me with those furious eyes.

I was a bit surprised that this man was actually an alpha. He must be quite powerful because when he demanded her to leave, I was intimidated and even overwhelmed by fear. It took me a lot of time to fight back my instincts and even my wolf Bella was kind of scared.

This was such a strong alpha. Too bad that...

I couldn't help but look at his legs.

Victor looked up at me and asked, "Who are you?"

Victor POV

I wasn't surprised that Serena wanted to break off the engagement.

When I got injured and wasn't as powerful as before, the people who once looked up to me or admired me all started to drift away. She wasn't the first one to do that so I didn't feel sad or angry at all.

Maybe my wolf would get mad but he vanished after the fight against the Dark Enchantress and a pack of rogues, just like Serena said. I couldn't replace my wolf anymore or walk again.

But I didn't expect that a woman would stride in and defend me. Serena was still gloating until that woman came in and irritated her.

However, I wouldn't trust anyone anymore and I wouldn't just blindly believe anyone who suddenly tried to help me.

I asked, "Who are you?"

This beautiful woman stopped smiling the second Serena left the room. She said in a cold voice, "Your doctor. My name is Lauren and I'll be in charge of your treatment, which starts from today."

I didn't know that my attending doctor would be so gorgeous and young.

Maybe she saw from the look on my face that I was a little shocked, Lauren just raised her eyebrows and said calmly, "If you don't trust me, you can ask for a different attending doctor. But I believe that there's no one in this hospital that is more capable and professional than me."

But I was more curious about something else, "Why did you help me back then?"

Lauren was stunned for a moment and didn't expect me to ask her that. She shrugged and said, "Maybe it's because...my fiancé also broke up with me today...so I sympathize with you."

"Oh no," she paused and then chuckled, "we're all lucky enough to get rid of these bastards."
