Troubled Past to Perfect Future

Part 11

BRIAN'S POV

Dom has me lying on the couch in his office while everyone quickly gets a large space cleared for the ceremony. Harry is sitting on the floor next to the couch, trying to keep me sidetracked.

"How many times do I have to tell you to be careful when on a ladder," Harry asks, running his fingers through my hair.

"I'm sorry. I heard Dom shout and wasn't paying attention. I didn't mean to fall," I say, feeling upset for causing problems for everyone.

"It is ok, Brian. Who are the two men I don't know?" Harry says.

"The one with the brown curls is Alpha Carter from the American alpha bond pair. The other one is Alpha Owen, his mate. Alpha Carter is also my uncle," I say.

"Your uncle?" Harry asks.

"Yeah, my mom's brother," I say as everyone stops at the sound of a car pulling up outside.

"That should be Dr. Drake," Alpha Owen says, going to the door and opening it for a man to come in.

"Where is the patient?" Dr. Drake asks.

"Right this way," Dom says, leading the doctor over to where I am. Harry moves out of the way as Dom sits on the arm of the couch by my head.

"Your head hurts, correct?" Dr. Drake asks. I nod slightly as I stare at the man.

"Can you describe the pain for him?" Dom asks.

"It's lessened a lot. It started as a strong throb, not it is a soft throb," I say, glancing up at Dom.

"I would say you have a headache from the fall," Dr. Drake says.

"That's it?" Dom asks.

"Give him some pain pills. If the pain lasts more than two days, give me a call," Dr. Drake says, handing Dom a card as I sit up.

"So Brian's ok?" Alpha Carter asks, walking over and sitting next to me.

"Yes, sir, he is ok," Dr. Drake says.

"Excuse me sir, but you might want to check his right leg out. He was favoring it earlier," Mia says, walking over with several bottles of water.

"Thank you," I say as she hands me one.

"Are you guys almost done setting up?" Dom asks, nodding when she hands him a bottle.

"Yes, Dom," Mia says, handing a bottle to Dr. Drake and one to Alpha Carter.

"Let me see that leg, Brian," Dr. Drake says. I slowly stretch my right leg out for him to see and flinch at the slight pain in it. "You hit your knee and head first when you fell, right?"

"I don't know for sure, sir," I say as Alpha Carter grabs my hand.

"It is the same thing with your head. I don't see any injuries so if the pain lasts more than a few days, call me. I was surprised that you called me, sir," Dr. Drake says.

"Brian is my nephew," Alpha Carter says.

"This is your sister's son?" Dr. Drake asks.

"Yes, this is. Have you seen my sister lately?" Alpha Carter says as Dom slips down to sit next to me, and I rest my head on his shoulder.

"You haven't heard? You didn't tell him?" Dr. Drake says, looking back and forth between Alpha Carter and me.

"What are you talking about?" Alpha Carter says. "Brian, what is he talking about?"
