Chapter 3:

Faintly I can hear my alarm clock going off but I choose to ignore it hoping that it will stop ringing on its own. But of course, luck is never on my side and the ringing gets louder. Groaning I roll over and slam my hand on it.

"I hate my life." I growl.

When I finally get a good look at the time I realize I have thirty minutes to get dressed and get to the hospital. I usually never sleep this late.

I text Colton's friends mother and told her about my plans for the day. She knows that Eric will be picking my brother up since ill be at the clinic.

After fumbling around in my room I quickly throw on some clothes and brush my teeth. I smell my shirt to make sure I don't stink since I don't have time to shower. I opt for body spray and deodorant.

I throw my hair into a messy bun since it's very tangled from not having been brushed since yesterday morning. After I've gotten ready I start running to the nearest bus stop and make it just in time to catch the bus that will take me to the clinic.

Once I arrive at the clinic I approach the receptionist at the front desk.

"Please state your name," she says with out even looking up at me.

"Artemis Lockheart" I reply.

"Please fill these papers out and return them to me when you are finished." She orders softly.

I thank her and take the clipboard and pen she offered me and go and find a seat. Once I'm seated I begin filling out the papers.

They ask basic questions like my name, address, phone number, social security, primary doctor, medical history and allergies.

Once I have all the papers filled out I walk back to the receptionists desk and hand her the clipboard with the pen. She gives me a quick smile and assures me that I'll be taken back shortly.

As I sit in the waiting area my phone vibrates.

Hey sissy, it's Colton

Hey baby where is Eric

I'm right here love

Oh, hi guys

How's it going at the clinic?

So far so good. I've just filled out my papers and now I'm waiting to be taken back

Oh okay well we won't hold you too long. Colton says he misses you

Tell him I miss him too

I will. What time should we pick you up?

I'll call you after the procedure but it should only take an hour I think so maybe come and get me in about an hour and a half

Okay, well call me if you need me there sooner.

Kay

Love you sissy

Love you too care-bear

Where's my love?

Oh you dork, I love you too Eric! I chuckle before exiting out of the conversation.

After that I turned my phone off and put it away. Its hard texting them when they're both using one phone. Hopefully my mother won't call Eric. She really doesn't want me doing this and I have no idea why.

"Ms. Lockheart" a woman in purple scrubs calls for me to follow her.

I follow her as she leads me to a room with the number 3 on the door.

"Please remove your clothes and put on that gown. The doctor will be in with you shortly" she says in a clipped tone as she exits the room leaving me to change rather quickly.

After I've removed my clothes and gotten into the hospital clothes I fold my things neatly and place them in a chair with my shoes under them.

"Good afternoon Ms. Lockheart, I'm Dr. Lane and I'll be handling your procedure today. Alongside me is nurse Kelly who escorted you here, Dr. Black and Dr. Thomas will be here as well just to observe the procedure if you don't mind." He said as he introduced himself.

"Um if you don't mind me asking, where is Dr. Honenburg? I thought he'd be doing my procedure." I ask.

"He was in a fatal accident this morning so I'll be handling it instead" as he said this I noticed the smirks on the faces of the two male doctors.

Before I got the chance to ask another question he continued talking.

"Now if you're through with the questions please lie on the table so we can place the oxygen mask on you." He said as the woman, nurse Kelly, pushed me towards the table.

This just doesn't seem right to me. Something seems so wrong. I'm sure I would have been contacted by someone to let me know what happened with Dr. Honenburg. As I lay on the table they begin to strap my arms and legs down. I stare at them with wide eyes.

"Just for safety reasons my dear" Dr. Lane says while eyeing me hungrily.

They strap the oxygen mask on me and begin looking for things in the room. My brain begins to get fuzzy. Something is wrong with the air. I notice nurse Kelly messing with the air controls. She's turning it down.

"Don't kill the girl Kelly. You heard what Alerick said. He wants her very much alive." Dr. black wanted her.

What? Kill me. Why? Who's Alerick? So many questions go through my head at once. Who are these people? I begin to thrash and they turn towards me.

"Oh dear you seriously thought this was a procedure didn't you? Allow me to let you in on a little secret." Dr. Thomas says with a creepy smile

"Melissa, the woman you refer to as your mother, isn't your real mom. You, my dear, are adopted. I'm sure she tried to talk you out of the procedure because she didn't want you to find out" Dr. Thomas sneers at me.

My eyes begin to blur, between the lack of oxygen and them telling me I'm adopted and that my mom lied to me I feel like I cant breathe but even so the wheels in my head begin to turn and things begin to click into place. I continue to thrash.

"It's a shame you're so beautiful and without a mate at that, after Alerick gets his hands on you I'm sure no one will want to imprint on you. It's truly a shame. You would have made a beautiful mate for me and mother to my future pups." Dr. Thomas continues.

Mate? Imprint? Pups? This isn't Twilight. What is going on here? Who are these people? Black spots begin to cloud my vision. As I continue thrashing and praying that someone would save me. The door burst open and a man storms in.

"Leviathan?" the woman, nurse Kelly says in shock as she pales and attempts to flee.

A chill runs through my body. Before she could even move a step he was in front of her and snapped her neck.

The mans body begins to shake, as does the body of the three other men in the room. I let out a muffled scream as their bones begin to crack and giant wolves take the place of the men that were standing there.

The man, or well wolf, Leviathan leaps and attacks the others. More black dots begin to obscure my vision.

The last thing I remember before passing out is someone tearing at the restraints on my arms and legs and ripping the oxygen mask off of me.


"Shit" a man whispers as he gently lifts me off of the bed and cradles my body to his chest as I black out completely.
