When you’re a submissive wolf from a foreign land, it’s hard to trust any dominant.

 

Amir is a General Practitioner for magical creatures, particularly werewolves and some of the less-numerous supernatural people. When the leader of all werewolves comes to him with a problem that presents like psychosis, Amir needs help, but as a submissive wolf, he’s hesitant to trust anyone. The dominants have always tried to abuse their power.

 

Oliver almost defeated the beta of his home pack. He’s nursing a grieving heart and a chip on his shoulder. Still, when Amir asks for his help, he jumps at the chance. The submissive wolf is beautiful.

 

For Amir and Oliver, the threat to all werewolf kind draws them together as much as their physical attraction. But the truth is, their wounds may rip them apart. Can either of them learn to trust?

 

Author’s Note: This is the first book in a three-book series called Medically Necessary. The second book will be out some time in October 2024.

 

Excerpt:

 

Dr. Amir Othman’s pulse picked up. He responded to her message, saying he’d be in Exam Room Three in under five minutes. Then he did a deep breathing exercise, using the five senses trick he’d learned as a young wolf when he first realized he wanted to become a doctor and so would therefore be around blood and anxious magical creatures.

Five things he could see… His fidgety hands. By crossing his eyes, he could see his nose. His computer screen, which held everything his clinic had on the alpha above all alphas. Trying to look farther away in an attempt to slow his racing heart, he looked at the carpet in front of his desk. It was a boring brown that didn’t hold his attention. Finally, he looked at the door where he’d hung a poster of a Great Pyrenees, which was the closest breed to his family’s usually white wolf forms.

Four things he could hear… The thudding of his heart. The rush of blood in his veins, which meant he was really keyed up still because even though he was a werewolf with acute hearing, he didn’t usually pay attention to the sounds of his own or others’ bodies. He struggled hard to refocus and heard the buzzing of the fluorescent light in the ceiling. He needed one more thing, so he made his chair creak. Oddly, the sound of something he could completely control helped him breathe a little easier.

Three things he could touch… The pen in his hand, which he’d been nervously twirling. He set it down. The feel of the chair under him, with its suit coat slung over the back. He could also feel his toes in his shoes. He breathed in more deeply than he’d managed so far and felt still a bit better.

Two things he could smell… He could no longer smell adrenaline. That was a good thing. He lifted his hand to his nose and smelled the soap he’d washed with maybe ten minutes ago.

And one thing he could taste, which was his cold lavender matcha latte.
