Hidden Truths

Chapter Ten

Knock Knock Knock. Ana doesn't open the door. She waits for Mason to show knowing he's been paying close attention. She sees Mason come around the corner and straight for the door. "Hi. I'm look-"

"I know." Mason cuts him off. Ana gets off the couch, after sitting up and down four times and walks to the door.

"Sorry Magnus, Mason isn't so well today." She says and pushes him back a little. He doesn't budge much.

"Ah. Well can I come in?" He asks curously looking around. Ana nods and moves out of the way. Though he may have lied to her, she doesn't think he's a threat. If he wanted to hurt her he would have many years ago.

"Mason, stop acting like this-this." She whispers in his ear. She makes her way to the couch across from Magnus. "I...have some questions for you."

"Ok?" He questions and watches as Mason sits down next to Ana. He's good at noticing the small things. 

"You said you found me in the woods after...the attack, right?"

"Yeah, you looked frazzled." He says continuing to watch Mason.

"Well...-"

"We are from the same pack and my parents knew the wolf doctor. You're not him. Explain." He interrupts Ana. Ana glares over at him annoyed. You know he can't see you. Her wolf says. I know that, but it makes me feel better. Ana replies before turning back to Magnus.

"So, what you think that I'm pretending to be a wolf doctor, or what? I've helped you for how many years now." He says with a small smile. His emotions never seem to match the mood of the room.

"Well I was just wondering if you could clear up a few things. I got people telling me they found me under my mom and another telling me I was found in the woods. Which is what I remember." She adds quietly.

"I wasn't the main doctor no. I helped in the back, making medication and I wasn't at the pack house often." He replies simply.

"Do you know why they would say I was found with no heartbeat and by my mom?" Ana asks getting more confused.

"I only saw a little girl walking in the woods and then recognized it was you. I was going to leave a day after the attack happened to go and get more learning education." He says and leans on his elbows looking at Mason once again. "How long have you had the headache?" He questions towards Mason. He tilts his head up more.

"How'd you know?"

"You're tensed and keep closing your eyes. I'm a doctor and can see any symptoms. So, how long?"

"Around a day or two."

"Wasn't bad at first, but know it's really affecting you?" He questions before laying back against the couch.

"Yeah." Mason says getting suspicious of him.

"Why didn't you call and tell me you found your mate? Happy for you." He says sending a weird smile to Ana.

"Don't know. How-how'd you-"

"Magical." He says and Mason moves closer to Ana. "Well, I'm assuming you don't have any issues with your breathing. Just wanted to talk?"

"Yeah-yeah. I..um..Sorry, just wanted to figure some stuff out and thought you'd be able to help me." Ana says looking at him confused.

"Well I'll be on my way then. Hope your headache gets better." He says standing up and letting himself out.

"How'd-"

"I don't know." Ana says interrupting Mason. Ana continues to stare at the ground puzzled. Before she gets anything sorted out Kelly and John walk through the door. They went on a run.
