Chapter Nineteen

Nadya

“Is anyone going to introduce me to our guest?”

The werewolf aggression coming from Gareth and Jason filled the room, suffocating me. I did my best to shield myself from their emotions and turned around. “Hi, Dr. Granger. This is my…”

Gareth met my eyes and for a second I wished I could read minds. Obviously, Dr. Granger had worked with werewolves before, but only males. Did he know they had mates? Would it matter?

He saved me from making that call. Crossing the room, he slid his arm around my waist, his hand resting on my hip. “I’m her boyfriend.”

Dr. Granger cocked his brow, his gaze flicking toward Jason. “Oh, I assumed Dr. Ayers…” He cleared his throat and wisely dropped the subject. Holding out his hand he asked, “Your name was?”

“I’m Gareth.”

He made no move to shake Dr. Granger’s extended hand. The doctor reached up for a pen from his pocket instead, his attention shifting toward me. “He understands the importance of keeping our treatments secret? My employer has been kind to allow me the time to assist in this situation, but with your Pack nearby, I’m also risking my own personal safety on behalf of Ms. Dalca.”

“Your employer is the reason Nadya is here in the first place, so spare me your self-righteous bullshit.” The doctor flinched as if Gareth’s words had reached out and smacked him. “You’re not making any sacrifices on Nadya’s behalf. Getting the chance to study someone who survived being bitten by one of your juiced-up freaks is every Nero lab tech’s wet dream.”

I almost laughed. However, Jason and Dr. Granger didn’t seem nearly as amused by Gareth’s comments.

“Back off, Gareth.” Jason took the blood pressure cuff off the wall and I sat down on the exam table. “If I had a better way to get her the appropriate treatment, believe me, I’d take it.”

I hardly noticed the cuff squeezing my arm. All my attention was focused on Dr. Granger. Doctors were always tough for me to read. They had a well-practiced calm that often shielded their true feelings, but Gareth’s verbal jabs had flustered him. For a moment, a flash of fear shot off Dr. Granger. He jotted notes on his tablet while Jason called out numbers, avoiding any chance of eye contact with me or Gareth.

What if Gareth was right? Could the doctor be pushing more poison in my veins, hoping I’d live longer than his soldiers did? Sounded like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. He was probably just afraid of my big boyfriend.

“Your temp is slightly elevated, but werewolves run a little hot sometimes, anyway. The rest of your vitals are within the normal range.” He rolled his stool over and sat down in front of me. “Any nose bleeds or shifting episodes we should know about?”

Gareth’s stare was heavy on my shoulders. If I didn’t tell them, he would.

“My hands started shifting again last night.” I circled my fingers at the top of my head like an invisible laurel wreath.
