"Maybe we can teleport to our room?" Nyx suggests her anxiety is feeding into mine. "A good idea," I begin. "But what brought that on?" "Knox is trying to reach out. It's pissingoff because he won't stop trying to knock my barriers down." I should have been surprised, but I wasn't. Knox and Alec are Alphas. They are used to getting what they want. This time, though, it won't happen. The love I had for them died in the torture room three years ago, along with my heart. I closed my eyes, about to escape, like the coward I am, but my concentration was interrupted by the sound of the door opening. "Hello Luna," the cheery voice of a male doctor greets me. I grit my teeth against the unwanted title. "I'm not your Luna." He looks at Alec in confusion. "I thought you were our Alpha's true mate. He said so." "I am not." "B-but," "Doctor Jacobs, can you give us the diagnosis?" Alec asks through clenched teeth, his eyes sharp on mine. I don't understand why the hell he was so angry. He shouldn't have told his pack that I was his mate, since I didn't plan on being his mate for long. He should have also corrected the doctor when he calledLuna. I don't allow his glare to affect me; instead, I focus on the very confused doctor. "The glass cut an artery; that's why you were bleeding a lot. We were able to stop the bleeding and sew the wound. You have two bruised ribs. You also fractured a bone. We had to set it in place before putting it in a cast. Don't worry, though; with your healing, you'll probably be back to normal in two days." I nod before sinking back on the soft pillows. That isn't so bad. I can wait for two days before I am back to training and hitting punching bags. "Do you feel any pain or discomfort?" the doctor asks. "Yes. My shoulder hurts a bit." I turn when Alec growls, his eyes switching colors. "Why the hell didn't you tell me? Why did you lie when I asked?" Frowning, I glare at him, not liking his tone of voice. "I didn't feel anything then. I feel it now. Is there a freaking problem with that?" We have a staring contest, both of us glaring at each other, refusing to back down. The doctor clears his throat nervously. "I'll send a nurse to administer painkillers." Alec breaks the stare first before looking at the ceiling and sighing. It's as if he were praying for patience, which we both know he doesn't have. "She'll be here in a minute," Doctor Jacobs says before quickly leaving the room. I expected Alec to follow suit and leave the room, but he didn't like! It said, I don't understand what he was doing here. I'd forgotten to ask the doctor how long I was supposed to stay in the Red. It was only a couple because I was dying to see my little girl and hold her in my arms. The silence stretches on. It fills the air with an awkwardness that makesreally uncomfortable. "Any update concerning what happened?" I am unable to take it anymore. "Yes," Alec answers. "But it isn't good." "What is it?" He runs his hands down his face before answering. "The cops want us to come in for questioning. Da Damn, NO that is the worst news ever. Especially if word reaches the council.
