The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 57

The last few weeks have been somewhat peaceful, aside from regular pack stuff, we did have a slight situation with a few rogues trying to get past our border. The new systems that we put in are working great except for when the motherfucker wants to leave a dead body on my property. I’m not sure how they do it without being caught. Thank Goddess it’s been quiet on that account as well.

I haven’t been able to spend too much time with Gavin either since he’s taken over while his father is gone, but we do make time at least every other day, or should I say night where he comes over and stays the night with me. Our bond is growing stronger, but there is still something inside of me, other than my wolf, trying to tell me something. Until I can figure out what it is, I’m going to enjoy my time with him.

My birthday is just about here and there is still no mate in sight. I already knew the chances weren’t high, but now I know I was forgotten, or maybe the Goddess has other plans for me. Either way, I’m moving on whether it be with Gavin or someone else.

I’ve finally got an appointment with Dr. Langly today, so I can start the meds. We are diligent in using protection when Gavin and I are together, but this will be even better. I can’t believe he didn’t have any openings until now, but I can’t really complain since he isn’t Dark Moon’s pack doctor and he’s taking time out to see me.

When I slow down to check in with patrol, they just smile and wave me past. I do miss living among the Storm River pack. They always made me feel at home, and never treated me like an outsider. As I pull into town, there seems to be an unusual amount of activity, but I’m already running a few minutes late, so I concentrate on getting to the clinic.

The receptionist greets me with a smile and asks me to update my paperwork now that I no longer live here. I’m only waiting for about five minutes when a nurse calls my name. Handing the papers back to the she-wolf behind the desk, I follow the nurse back to the examination

room.

* see here that you are needing a dose of birth control, is that correct? The nurse smiles warmly. She’s an older she-wolf, and I’ve seen her around town, but I don’t really know her.

“Yes Ma’am.”

“Oh gosh, call me Anita please,’ she chuckles, “How are you liking the Alpha life?”

“Well, it’s a big change from being just a regular she-wolf, that’s for sure!” I laugh. “But I am actually loving it, and my pack members. We are growing day by day, and I think we can get back to where we were before the attack.”

A sympathetic look flashes across her face but then she smiles once more, “If anybody can do it, it’s you.”

“Thanks for the vote of confidence.” I grin.

Anytime, honey, she glances down at the laptop and starts confirming health questions from my file. Once she’s done, she closes the laptop and stands “Normally I would administer the meds, but since it’s your first dose, Dr. Langly will visit with you and give it to you. For future doses, you can opt out of having me give them and have Doc give it. A few others already do that they just feel better knowing that a doctor is giving them their meds.”

“Oh okay. Well, it doesn’t matter either way. A nurse is just as capable of sticking me with a needle as a doctor is.” i chuckle.

“My exact thoughts, but hey, to each their own.” She waves and then closes the door behind her.
