The Alpha King's Army Medic

Chapter Nine

Alexa and I end up getting along incredibly well. She unfortunately never told me what the Alpha King had said about me. I think it was because when I asked her he was glaring at her and she wince probably from a threat he gave her from their mind link.

Shortly after getting more acquainted with Alexa, their parents showed up in my tent. Almost instantly their mom started fussing over my injuries. She told me she would try to look up some spells to help with the healing, but I assured her I was fine and I'd be healed soon. She then asked me if I ate anything and I told her no. She then went on a rampage to get me something to eat, while yelling at both her son and daughter. She went and found some fruit and gave it to me because I need to eat healthy so I would get better faster.

After I ate, I went to go put the plate she gave me on the table when I tripped and almost feel onto a table. It seemed like everyone was by my side catching me and then making me go back and sit in bed. I hated this. I hated how they were treating me like glass, like if they touched me I would break. I couldn't stand it any longer so I told them I was tired and want to sleep.

Everyone left except the Alpha King. When I told him I was fine and he could leave he reminded that Nicole wanted him to watch me. I argued and said that Nicole's stupid and I'm a doctor so I should know if I need to be watched. He told me doctors aren't allowed to medicate themselves for a reason because we always put our selves last when it comes to treating people. I didn't say anything and I just pulled the blanket up and pretending to sleep. Little did I know that I would actually fall asleep.

When I woke up, I felt better. I looked and saw the Alpha King using the table to do what looked like paper work. Slowly I made my way out of bed hoping he wouldn't notice.

"Why are you trying to sneak around?", his voice calls through the quiet room. He didn't even look up from the papers. How did he know I was up? I didn't make a sound.

"Your breathing changed. It was faster.", he says. I give him a confused look and he then said, "You asked how I knew."

"Oh.", I said. I must have voiced my thoughts ugh. I moved towards the door and went out and into the bathroom. I looked at myself and saw that I looked like crap. Bruises coated my body and my face looked just as bad. My hair was thrown all over and in knots. I went back in the room and grabbed clothes so I could shower.

After I showered I tried to comb through my damp hair. It took a while to get all the knots out. I then threw it up in a bun. I looked awful in my sweatpants and t-shirt. The shirt matched the color of my bruises and the grey sweatpants made me feel like they standing out even more. 

When I went back into my room the Commander was talking to the Alpha King. He looked at me up and down and gave me a loose simile. It looked to be out of sympathy. I wanted to leave the room the longer he looked at me the more worthless I felt. I felt like this because I wasn't like them. I was human they were supernatural. They could have healed from this in a hour or less. 

I noticed that they were both staring at me."Oh is this a private conversation cause I can leave.", I tell them. I watch as they look at each other and looked at me again. 

"We asked you a question. Can you not remember it", the commander asked me. Great  now they probably thing I'm stupid or I'm even worse than I look.

"Ugh no sorry. I spaced out I didn't hear or pay attention to what you were saying.", I told them. A look of relief crossed the Alpha King's face. He probably was glad I wasn't worse so Nicole wouldn't kill him for not watching me good enough.
