Healing The Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 11

“I want to know how she is doing.” Despite being a healer as he knew, Alpha Cahir still brought me back to the doctor for a checkup. “Run some tests, do your thing. I want to know the extent of the damage done to her by this pack,” he declared.

“I am fine, really,” I muttered but my mouth snapped shut when he gave me a wilting glare. A chill passed through me at that look.

“Get into the bed.” The way he spoke reminded me so much of Kade, except with much more power.

With Kade, I could try to resist or ignore his command until he used his Alpha voice, but when Cahir spoke, I obeyed without first thinking. My back hit the bed a second after his command and the doctor approached me. This was a new doctor, unlike the first one who Cahir now despised.

“I will need you to take your shirt off for me,” the doctor said, laying things down on a table beside me. A nurse stood beside him, ready to work when called upon. “There are no scars on your face but it’s awfully red. I’d like to see how your shoulders are faring.”

Feeling self-conscious, I rose to a sitting position, gripping the bottom of my shirt. I turned to Cahir to see his eyes already fixated on me. The look I saw in them made me shiver and swallow. His dark eyes had become almost pitch black as he looked down at me then he turned his unnerving gaze to the doctor.

“No.” His quiet voice became even quieter on that inaudible declaration that vibrated with something foreign to me.

“Sir –“

“I said no,” a low growl came out with his words and his dark eyes started to turn to a deep red.

His wolf.

The doctor and nurse turned to look at me while I turned to look at them. They expected me to do something by the look on their faces but the only thing I wanted to do was leave the impending explosion. Goddess knew I had had enough. I didn’t want to be here when an Alpha lost control of his wolf.

“For the check up –“ The doctor tried to explain, his voice breaking.

“He just has to check me. I don’t think –“ I tried to placate him but I only ended up making everything worse. He glared at me and I rested my case.

“The nurse will do it,” he declared and we all let out a collective breath of relief. All of us except the nurse who looked like she had chosen the wrong profession.

“Yes – Yes, Alpha.” She bowed her head and stepped forward while the doctor took a step backwards with his wrinkly face loosening up. He exited the room without a backwards glance and I couldn’t shake off the feeling that he was glad to be out of Cahir’s suffocating presence.

I didn’t know how to feel about the second chance mate that the goddess gave me. My wolf was going crazy with the urge to mate but I would be stupid to spread my legs for a man I met mere hours ago, promising myself to him for eternity when he could treat me worse than Kade.

I would not deny he made me nervous. He made everyone nervous with his intense gaze, quiet voice and looming figure. When he looked at me, my wolf purred in satisfaction but the human in me wanted him to never look at me again. How could I survive being this man’s mate? He was a cruel murderer who had no regard for life, who courted death at every chance and did unspeakable things to those who defied him even over the smallest things.

The part of me that was terrified to death of him was balanced out by the part of me (my wolf) that wanted to cuddle up into his chest, wrap my arms around him and inhale his scent, letting his warmth comfort me. A single look from him had that part of me panting with need and want, crying out for his touch.

Both parts of me were unsure if he would want to mate us.

“Sihana, if you can take off your shirt –“ The nurse urged me, placing a hand on my shoulder. She had taken over the doctor’s clipboard and after going through his notes, she informed Cahir what tests the doctor had written down.

“Uh- Can you turn your back?” I asked the man in the room who so happened to be my newmate. No matter how many times I thought of it, it still amazed me.

For a split second, I worried he would refuse to turn his back. My mind went into panic mode as I thought of undressing in his presence. Thankfully, he turned his back after a few seconds of silence. I whipped my top off in that split second.

The nurse examined my body but without her even saying anything, I knew that she would not find any scar on me. The hot water Avalon poured on me was the same temperature used to peel the skin off a chicken, but thankfully for me, I had healing abilities. I shuddered to think of how I would look if I could not heal myself so fast. My face would be scarred forever because of her.

The nurse worked silently and when she was done, she went out for a brief second and returned with a syringe for my blood. After taking my blood, she gave me a small container for my urine sample, then we were done.

“Rest here for a while. I have to check on my pack,” Cahir said after the nurse left. I let out a sigh of relief after he left because his presence affected me too much.

Rest for a while? What a joke! I could not rest for even a second because the minute Cahir left, Avalon flounced into the hospital room with her friends, Felicity and Viviane. The two girls stood behind her, their arms crossed with evil grins on their lips. I would be scared if I wasn’t so tired of their bullshit! Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“You’re still here, huh?” Felicity was the first to speak. Despite Avalon being the leader of their little group of airheads, Felicity was the Alpha’s daughter so the two girls always had a power tussle every now and then. It seemed now would be one of those times.

“Your face –“ Avalon began, her jaw slackening. “Why are you here if you are fine!” She snarled, the initial surprise in her voice fading away.

“I have to complete my check up,” I said with a shrug.

If only this girl knew that herself and her family would soon become the slaves of Alpha Blood pack, she would not be going around all high and mighty like this, but it was not my place to tell her. Let her beloved Alpha break the news to her.

I wanted to be there to see her face when Kade broke the news to her that the pack was letting her go. As a female Alpha, she always had a bright future but that future was now thwarted thanks to her wickedness. She didn’t even have a bit of remorse for what she did to me. Instead, she came here to insult me after all she had done!

“What check up!?” She snarled, walking over to the hospital bed I was in. “Get out of bed and go work, you useless slave!” She yanked my hand and almost toppled me out of the bed.

“Be careful!” Viviane’s anxious voice made her stop for a brief second. “Remember the Alpha –“

“This is not Alpha Cahir’s territory!” Avalon flipped her red hair behind her. “I am to be the future Luna of this pack. He has no say in how I chose to punish my slave!” She hissed, then she pulled

my hair again.

“Can you stop!” I pushed her away but I was an omega and she was an Alpha so my strength did not match up to hers.

“Look at this stupid bitch thinking she can manhandle me!” Avalon laughed. “Just because Cahir saved you doesn’t mean you are somebody now! The Alpha probably did not know what trash he was rescuing.” She pulled my hair harder. I tired prying her finger open as tears stung my eyes from the force with which she held me but it did not work.

“Seriously, you’re going too far!” I exclaimed, still fighting her hand in my hair. “Let go of me!”

“No way, you whore! Do you think you are now better than me? How dare you talk to me with such disrespect!? I am your Luna!” She pulled harder.

“In your dreams!” I pushed out of the bed as she pulled my hair harder.

“You bitch – I am going to make you bald!” She screamed.

“What – The fuck? You again?” The exclamation from the doorway made her loosen her grip on me and we turned to see Aristo with a furious glare on his face.
