Chapter 4: 3- Doctor, Doctor
My head was buzzing. There was a throbbing pain. My head felt like it was spinning and I squeezed my
eyes shut to try to regain some type of equilibrium. I tried opening my eyes and bright white light
invaded my vision.
Wincing, I shut my eyes and waited for them to adjust before I tried to reopen them. I opened and
closed them a few times before I was able to see. There was a steady beeping and I titled my head to
the side to see where it wasing from. A heart monitor. I was in the hospital. I felt tearse to my
eyes.
...Where am I?...
The door opened and a doctor walked in. I felt my heart rate elerate, and the heart monitor kept
beeping and beeping. I quickly sat up and my body fluttered with pain.
“Woah, Woah, Woah!” The doctor chuckled and jogged towards me, flinching away from him I brought
my knees up to me, ignoring the difort. He came right by the bed and reached out and grabbed
my arm, I cowered away from the man.
Men weren’t my favorite due to my past experiences.
“You’re awake! So... the Alpha wille to check on you in about an hour.” He spoke. I looked at the
man. He has curly brown hair and tan skin. He has long stubble that has hints of grey in it. He looks
older, maybe 40? Mid-forties? His name tag contains three letters. R-E-X. Rex.
He went on talking about my health and I didn’t pay attention at all. I was just staring at the ground, my
heartbeat was not slowing down in the slightest way, and the fact that he still had his hand on my arm
didn’t help.
“Now- we have you under some medication that I injected you with when you arrived. And it will make
your body just a little weaker.” I can’t afford to be weaker. “But that will only benefit me…” he mumbled
to me. I snuck a look up at the doctor. His eyes turned dark, and I got a sick feeling in my stomach. The
same look Alpha Chris gave me.
...Wait, where is Alpha Chris?...
He dragged his hand down from my arm to rest on my knee and I froze. Maybe I should’ve pushed him
off or done something but I was in an unfamiliar ce, not remembering past events that well, and I
was unfocused.
He pulled down the nket a little and my heartbeat spiked along with the beeping.
“I’m just going to check the bruising on your knees,” he pulled down the nket some more until it was
at my ankles. He moved his hand to the end of the hospital gown and I flinched.
...How did that get on me?...
“The bruising looked bad,” he added as he pulled it up to my mid-thighs. While he did that something in
me fluttered, anticipating something and I was beyond confused by that. I didn’t want this man’s hands
on me, why would I anticipate that?
“Now, let me take off this,” I flinched as he reached behind me and I couldn''t help as my hand swatted
him away. I knew I’d get punished for it but I couldn’t help it.
“N-no!” I whispered and tried to scoot away from him.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything,” he said, slightly growly. He sped his hand around my
thigh and I shivered with disgust.
A thunderous growl tore through the room.
I cowered even more at that sound but my heart tightened, like in a good way. Was this what my
subconscious was anticipating? I nced over at the door and saw a tall man with striking dark blue
eyes. He was standing next to a woman with a clipboard and she was looking at me and the man with
wide eyes.
Wow, he’s pretty.
''No one would want you, slut. Don’t even think about it.''
“Alpha!” The man spoke, rmed. “I thought you weren’ting for a few hours…” He was fumbling
over his words, fear and worry were evident and I lifted my head to see what was happening.
The man stalked up to the doctor and grabbed his arm in a stern grip, removing it from my thigh. While
he did that, the woman rushed over to the other side and gave a small smile to me and I immediately
looked down.
She slowly reached out to the nket and brought it back up to cover my legs, I flinched even though
she was moving at a slow pace like she didn’t want to startle me. And with this man’s presence, the
smell of sandalwood reappeared. It seemed familiar.
“You thought wrong,” He growled. “Why are you with a female patient?” he demanded, his cold tone
brought unwanted goosebumps on my skin.
...Stop it, Violet! You don’t even know this man!...
“I was doing a check-up,” Rex answered, his voice slightly wavering.
“I thought it was clear after ourst incident that you were banned from interacting with any female
patient, especially alone,” he growled as he kissed his teeth. His eyes were angry, but it was a pretty
color.
...Stop it, Violet!...
''Slut.''
“Mind exining why you were trying to undress her?” the man demanded and the doctor swallowed.
The man didn’t want to wait for his answer, instead, he scoffed and pushed him away. “Get out!” he
demanded. He looked over at me when the door closed.
My eyes bulged as I moved my eyesight down. He growled at my action, it caused my heart rate to
increase and I flinched. His hand gripped my jaw and forced my face up to his. Sparks erupted at our
contact, and surprised- I jumped back, or tried to jump back. His grasp tightened as he growled lowly at

my action. I did a quick scan of his face until I saw his eyes.
I couldn’t help the small gasp that came out. His eyes were a deep blue and suddenly- I forgot how to
breathe. His eyes were as hard as stone as he studied my face. His eye slits were getting thinner as he
inspected my face. His re was mean, he seemed pissy from moments ago.
...Violet! Stop staring!...
I broke out of my trance and looked down, listening to myself.
...Don’t look an Alpha in their eyes...
He growled at that too and I winced at the sound. I started to feel more insecure about myself. His grip
got tighter by each silent passing second, fear started to ignite in me and my eyes got wet, and I
couldn’t help it as they slid down. I felt as his eyes wandered down to my body and he pushed my face
so he got a better look- I clutched the nket tighter against me.
He didn’t spend too much time on my body, even though every second felt like an hour, and he moved
his gaze back to my face. I don’t know where I am, I don’t know where Alpha Chris is, I don’t know
anything and I’m already a mess in front of another man.
He growled again, before tossing my face out of his grasp lightly. He looked at the woman who was
reading something on her clipboard, on the other side of the bed.
“You know what to do?” she immediately shook her head.
“Yes, Alpha!”
He nodded and was out of the room before I could grasp what just happened, taking the sandalwood
smell with him.
What were the sparks? The more I thought about it, it seemed to spark a memory but I couldn’t see it
fully. Like something was buried and you could only see the outline.
I looked at the woman, she had blonde hair that was in a low bun. She has tan skin and brown eyes.
She’s pretty, but I’m wary of her. She looks to be older, at least older than me. Maybe thirty? As I take a
look at her- I see she has a ring on her left hand. Married?
She gives me a warm smile as she says hi. “Good morning, my name is Reseda and I’ll be your new
doctor.” She spoke slowly and smoothly. Not too loud, not too low, she was even. She walked to the
end of the bed and I immediately moved my legs back in fear.
''Because you have to fear everything right? Worthless…''
I closed my eyes at the voice. Why?
I heard the girl hum and I moved my eyes to her, but I didn’t look at her face, just her hands that are on
a clipboard at the end of the bed.
“Violet... “ she trails my name and I flinch.
''Why are you flinching moron? It’s a name, your name- stop being so pathetic.''
A frown made its way to my face as I thought about what the voice said.
“You have a very pretty name,” she stated and I felt her look at me.
''Thank her. That’s if you can even say it…''
“T-thank y-you,” I mumbled, hating my stutter.
She hummed before she responded. “You’re wee. Violet Ophelia Taylor. Very cute. So let’s see... “
She started to read a little more before she spoke again. “Ms.Taylor, I’m going to perform a small
physical on you, is it alright if I take your blood pressure?” She asks looking at me while I look to the
side.
I had no clue what she meant. Was she going to take some of my blood? What’s physical? Like, touch
me? I don’t want that. I was silent before she spoke again.
“Do you know what taking blood pressure is?” She asked me. She started to exin what it was and I
was trying my hardest to follow along, even though I didn’t have the slightest idea of what she’s saying.
“So, Ms.Taylor, is it okay if I take your blood pressure?” She asks me. I nodded yes, a little fearful of the
consequences of me saying ‘no’. “Okay, now I need you to sit up and uncross your legs…” I did as she
asked and she came closer to me. “I’m going to put this on your arm now, okay?” I nodded but when
she reached out for me I still flinched back.
''Can you ever stop flinching? Just trust someone!''
...No, you don’t trust anyone! Just listen...
My brows furrowed together at the voices in my head arguing.
The doctor’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. “Okay, I’m going to start. There will be pressure but
nothing too bad. Just take regr breaths,” She instructed and started to pump the ball, the band
getting bigger, and I felt thepression start. I started wincing when it got tighter and I whimpered.
“It’s okay, only a few more seconds, it’ll be okay…” The doctor calmed me.
What’s her name again? Was it something with an R? I nced at her name tag, but quickly nced
away- I didn’t catch the name. The pressure was getting too much and I started to feel lightheaded. A
small, quiet groan came out of my mouth. A few secondster, the doctor was pulling the armband off
of me. I closed my eyes and cradled my arm.
“Ms. Taylor, may I check your weight and height?” I nod, but when she walked- expecting me to follow, I
froze. “It’s alright, we’ll just be going to the next room for a few minutes.” I frowned at that. When I
made no attempt to move she walked to me and I flinched away. She studied me for a second as I
looked down at my shaky hands.
I feared getting up, because I was in an unfamiliar ce with people I didn’t know. She softly reassured
me and coaxed me out of bed. “Okay, Ms.Taylor, are you ready to do your height and weight?” The
doctor asked me in her usual voice.
With a small nod of the head, she came over and helped me get out of bed. If not for her I would have
fallen t on my face because of how weak my legs were. Once I regained my normal ‘strength’ in my
legs I was able to walk without her help, and she led the way to the room while I walked timidly behind
her with my arms wrapped around my body.
It turns out I’m five foot seven and I weigh one hundred and one pounds. I’m currently back in the bed
while she asks me more medical information and she says after that she’ll tell me about the information
she gathered.
“When was thest time you’ve shifted?”
“N-never.”
''You can’t even say one word without stuttering. Pathetic.''
“Never?” I nod. “Oh, I’ll talk to the Alpha about that. It’s very unhealthy. Do you have any conditions?”
I was confused by her question, conditions? So I just nodded my head ‘no’.
“Okay…” she trailed off as she wrote things on her clipboard and I stood there by the bed. She looked
up at me, “honey, you can get into bed.” She smiled at me and chuckled lightly.
''Get into bed, whore!''
...Block out the thoughts, Violet, don’t listen...
I listened to myself and cautiously, I climbed back into the hospital bed.
“Okay, two more questions Ms.Taylor, for some reason it wasn’t in the records that we received, the
first- what is your age?” She asked.
“T-twenty o-one...” Stupid stutter…
“Alright,” she wrote on her clipboard papers, “and when is your birthday?”
My birthday…my least favorite day.
“A-Agust n-ninth.”
''Can you ever speak?''
“Okay…” She wrote some more, and then looked up at me and smiled- I averted my eyes. “Well, some
things; you have low blood pressure, we will add salt into your diet, and you need to drink more water.
Also, you need to eat more as your weight is very low. We’ll work that into your diet and….” she trailed
off as she flipped through her notes and continued to exin things to me- even though I didn’t
understand. She told me food will be sent in shortly and afterward, I should get some sleep- then she
got up to leave.
“Wait...wait... Um... e-excuse m-me…” I mumbled and fumbled, the doctor turned on her heel with
concern on her face. My heart was beating so fast from how nervous I got, my hands were shaking,
wringing my wrists “W-where a-am I?”
“You’re in Alpha Derek’s pack, the Night Stone pack.” With that, she turned and left. The realization
came in a wave, Alpha Derek of the Night Stone pack. Fear lit my body on fire, because of a name
Alpha Chris warned me of, reminding me of my tormentor.
