Chapter 228Â
Alpha NicholasÂ
As if today hadn’t already been a mind fuck enough the moment I saw Harriot waiting outside of my office door with the look that she had on her face ! just knew that things were about to get so much worse. I swear to every high power out there that the moon goddess has personally been out to text meÂ
lately.Â
I mean, seriously, after everything that my mate and I have been through, after everything that my pack has been through, I don’t understand why all this bad stuff keeps happening. If the moon goddess is trying to test me then it’s about time that she gave it a rest, and if all this shit isn’t to do with her then we must be seriously cursed.Â
Fuck, whoever it is that’s doing this needs to give it up now because I’m not sure how much more I can take and I’m not sure how much more any of my pack members and family can take. I’m not saying that all of this shit is going to break us or tear us apart because it’s not. As a family and as a pack we are so much stronger than that but still… everyone has their breaking point, speaking of break, a break from any shit for just a little while would be a very welcome gift.Â
After ushering Harrot into my office, I wait for her as she takes a seat in front of my desk while I take a seat in my chair behind my desk. Her hands are shaking, and it’s clear that she is worried, which only heightens my concern for what she’s about to say. “What’s going on, Harriot?” She takes a deep breath as she picks up a large brown folder that she’s holding in her hands, and as the seconds tick by, I want nothing more than to hurry her along; instead, I use all my strength to give her the time that she so clearly needs.Â
“After the appointment with you and Luna Bonnie, I couldn’t help but feel that something wasn’t right. Given the stage of pregnancy that Bonnie is at, doc not picking it up at the first scan seems almost impossible, and even if he did somehow manage to miss it on the first scan, there is no way that he would have missed the baby on either of the other two appointments.”Â
“I agree, I have been thinking about it since we left the hospital. Bonnie was worn out after the appointment, so I made her take a nap, but I was planning on talking to her about it once she woke up. She was fairly quiet after the appointment, and I’m pretty sure that she’s also thinking the same asÂ
me.”Â
“You are right, too.” There’s an edge to her voice, along with a look in her eyes that screams that there’s more to this. “What ain’t you telling me, doc?”Â
She takes a deep breath as her grip tightens on the folder that’s in her hands. “Before the appointment, I had asked for Luna Bonnie’s records but had been told that they were unavailable. I thought it was a little strange, but I didn’t think too much of it. I just figured that they were being cautious, considering how Bonnie is the Luna and I was just a stand–in doctor. However, after the appointment, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right, so after I left the medical room, I went to the doctor’s office to try and find Luna’s records myself. I know it was wrong of me to do and that I could be punished for it, but I couldn’t shake the horrible feeling that I had inside, still have.”Â
‘I’m guessing those are her records?” I ask, pointing to the folder that she’s still holding with an iron grip. She nods but has a strange look on her face, almost as if she doesn’t want to show them to me, and that just instantly spikes my interest and makes my heart pound at the same time.Â
I hold out my hand, silently asking her to give the documents to me. “Where did you find them?” I ask as she hands them over to me. “They… they were in his filing cabinet only, they weren’t filed normally. They were laid down on the bottom of the drawer as if he was…”Â
