Chapter 44

“And you have been getting nosebleeds how long?” Doctor Pat asks.

“Awhile,” she answers. She kicked up a huge fuss when I refused to leave, and I was curious as to why, so had refused to leave the room, and she only gave vague answers whenever he asked any questions, which was beginning to

annoy me.

“Answer his questions,” I snap at her, forcing my aura out over her and she shudders before blurting out an answer.

“4 years.”

“Did she have any resistance to your aura? She answered the question rather quickly?” Doc asks, and I can see the concern in his eyes as he peers down at her.

I shake my head; I barely used my aura. Valarian would have been able to fight what I just used, but there was no resistance from Everly – like her own didn’t exist at all.

“Her blood pressure is low, very low. She is also underweight,” the doctor says, looking over the top of his clipboard at me. He had been running tests non–stop while his assistant took

“What about unusual bruising?” he asks, and she shakes her head. I shove my aura out. She growls and jolts in her seat.

“Yes,” she spat through gritted teeth before glaring at me.

“Any at the moment?”

I raise an eyebrow at her about to use my aura before she blurts out an answer before I have to.

“Yes, my ribs.”

“Can I see?”

“I would rather you didn’t.”

“Everly, remove your shirt, or I will do it for you,” I warn her.

“Can’t you make him leave? What about confidentiality or is that not practiced in this pack?” she spits at the doctor.

“You are his mate. He has every right to be here being the Alpha. I am sorry, Luna.”

“I am not your damn Luna,” she says, and I growl at her. Everly rolls her eyes before tugging her shirt off, but I was not expecting to see her so purple and blue. Her skin across her ribs looked like she had been beaten. Red and purple blotches covered her ribs and back.

“See, must be low iron, see just my ribs,” she says before she starts to pull her shirt on. I snatched it from her, standing up and spinning her to the doctor, who also gasped.

“What are you doing?”

“Your back is worse than your ribs,” I snap at her, and she looks under her arms, twisting, trying to see.
