Cassandra

An apple a day

Cassandra's POV

I don't think I had passed out for long.First because I woke up to a very worried Ethan, second I caught Amare's scent before I heard a loud bang suggesting he had just left.

What was wrong with me, I never let my emotions show, let alone act on them. I wasn't some anger filled teenager, I never even got angry, so what was this act going on. Maybe I would just wake up from the floor of my house, my dad passed out somewhere on the couch after hitting me so hard. Maybe this time he hit hard enough to brake a bone or two until I passed out.Maybe this is just a weird dream that seemed to be longer than ever. But that wouldn't be possible. I hadn't slept more than an hour ever since dad started hitting me.

Ethan also proved that this wasn't a dream. He had been talking ever since I opened my eyes.

"I'm fine, you dont have to ask five hundred times to get that" I calmly stated.

 I was bored, tired, I didn't want to be here. I heard the dungeon door open again hoping it wasn't either of the people that had just left. My hopes were confirmed when a tall man walked in. He was handsome, a little too old for my liking, but oh well, doesn't hurt to think about it right?

"Hi, I'm Sebastian, the pack doctor, Xander sent me to check your vitals and injuries. " he said.

He didn't have a deep voice, it wasn't satisfying like the green eyed god, but it suit him well.

"Who is Xander?" I asked.

 Alika had mentioned him, probably her boyfriend, I mean she knew where to find his clothes, and also she knew that Xander hadn't worn the boxers that apparently I'm still in. 

Sebastian looked at me quizzically, like I was some lost three-year old he found at the mall without parents.

"The alpha?"he said

Oh, so that was his name. Ethan had already ushered in the doctor. It was weird seeing Ethan this way, he was always the school bad boy. What was between us was purely hormonal and based on our horny levels. What was he doing here anyway. I always knew he was in some kind of illegal trade, maybe even in some mafia. But wolves? That wasn't even part of my guesses.

The doctor had started strapping something when he pulled a little too strongly. Yes I had wounds,but they weren't even from Amare or the woods. They were from my dad, none of them had healed, apart from the ones Stuart had 'checked out' which were now scars. But the doctor didn't have to know that.

"you'll need a full body examination, but it cant take place here, I'm sure you'll be more comfortable if a female doctor does it" I heard Sebastian mutter.

I didn't really care, I didn't even have the strength to respond.I stood up slightly loosing my balance but Ethan held me in place. After assuring him I was fine he let me follow the doctor without holding my hand. I wasn't even following where I was going, I turned when the doctor turned I wouldn't even know we were there if it wasn't for Sebastian telling me to lay on the bed and wait for the doctor.

I laid on my back, counting the tiles above me. There was a dull ache due to the pressure I was putting on my wounds, but I was used to it. I watched as a female doctor walked in. A billion dollar smile on her face. 

"Hi, I'm Esmeralda, Alika has been talking about you the whole time she was here, glad to finally put a face to the name" she said

"Thanks_ I guess" I didn't even know what to say.

"I'll need you to  strip and stand on this" she said, pushing a metallic box, that I assumed was something to measure my weight. I did as she said and stepped on the box my back facing her. I heard an inaudible gasp as I felt her touch on my back. Shit, I had forgotten about my wounds. I had A lot of explaining to do.

Damn I should have eaten apples

Xander's POV

I walked out of the dungeon.Why did she look hurt, was it something I said? It was clear now she didn't pose a threat,not to my pack at least, if she did, she would have hurt Ethan ages ago, he is my beta anyway. Amare on the other hand lets just say they had issues to resolve. I walked toward Alika's room. She was still sleeping, I wanted to ask her what she was doing in the woods and if she knew that girl, but I didn't want to wake her up. With the stunt she had pulled, making the pool warm, she needed to rest.

I walked toward my room, I was too tired and I also needed a shower to clear my thoughts. Maybe I should ask the doctor About that girl, hell, I didn't even know her name. Maybe I shouldn't. I walked to my room jumping into the shower immediately. The cold shower seemed to worsen my thinking. That girl wouldn't get out of my head. Maybe i should just sleep

I could feel Rovan growl, just before I went into deep sleep.

I would figure out what was wrong with him when I was fully rested.
