Alpha's Dormant Mate

1. Scared but full of life

Eva's POV

The rays of light fell on my face and I welcomed the new morning with a smiling face. I thanked the Moon Goddess for everything she had been giving me. With a smiling face, I was coming out of my bed, then I realised I was a doctor, and I needed to be at the hospital in time.

“What's the time, Eva? You will be late.” I told myself and saw the screen of my phone. It showed 7.00 am, and I was like what the heck! How could I sleep till so late?

I had only 2 hours left, and I needed to do all household chores. Then only I would be able to go to the hospital. So without wasting any more time, I took my dress and entered the washroom as quickly as I could. After completing my morning business,I took shower and wore my dress as fast as possible. Within half an hour, I was in the kitchen and to my horror my aunt was there as well to welcome me.

“Why are you so late, Eva? I guess you forgot what our deal was?” Helly, my aunt , said in a furious tone.

“No, no aunt, I woke up late today as I was unable to hear the alarm. But don't worry, I will make breakfast and complete all the other chores very quickly.” I said in a frightening voice.

“You better be, otherwise you know the consequences.” She said in an angry voice.

So, this was my life. I was Eva Rosewood, a 26 year old shewolf. Although I belonged from the powerful Beta family of the pack Sea Breeze, but my family which includes my uncle, aunt and my cousin Sarina never treated me as someone of their own. However, they were extremely diverse outside, as for them, their status was the most important thing. For the outside world, I was their beloved adopted daughter, whom they always treated as their own.

But in reality, they hate me to no extent but the reason behind their hatred was still unknown to me. But I thought as I was not their own child because of that they treated me differently.

Although apart from their hatred towards me, they allowed me to continue my studies and achieve my dream. Since I was living with them for a long time and I knew, anything they will do, will have certain reason behind so I always suspect why they have allowed this to happen. Why they allowed my studies to continue? Somewhere this was the sole reason why I can't hate them.

I believed they were not as bad as they showed in front of me so I had firm believe someday they would also treat me like their daughter or my cousin sister Sarina.

Sarina was my cousin sister. She was beautiful, intelligent, smart. I felt she had all the qualities to be called as perfect. But she lived in London with Uncle David's friend. She was living with them for about 20 years. Normally most of child live with their parents but why she was living with them from that tinder age was also unknown to me. I tried to ask her the reason behind this but most of the like her family, she blamed me for this.

So whenever she used to come here during her vacation, she also treated me in the same way as uncle and aunt and even worse.

Although we are almost the same age. Yet, she was very different from me. She was full of fashion. Her dressing sense and sense of humour was just next to perfection. Whereas if I saw myself in the mirror, I was just opposite to her. Like, I had very low confidence around boys. If I paint my nails, it would be like done by a 3-year-old kid. Further putting on makeup was always a serious struggle too. For me, there was a big no to one-piece dress as I always felt exposed which didn't help me in any way. I was a girl who was comfortable with hoodies and jeans and I could wear them everywhere in all occasions.

“Eva, whether the breakfast is ready or you need the whole day? “ David, my uncle said angryly.

“Yes, yes, almost done uncle.” I said.

I quickly served breakfast to them. I made Vegemite toast and meat pies. Aunt and uncle ate breakfast in silence. After that, I had my breakfast and then completed the rest of the household works as fast as I could. As soon as I had completed my work , the clock striked 8.30 am.

“My goodness, I have only half an hour left to reach the hospital. And I need to give water to plants in the garden. If I fail to do that, then again Uncle and Aunt will get a reason to punish me “ I cried.

Just then Trish, my best friend entered the kitchen.She was also 26 years old, height 5.5 feet (167.64 cm), had blue eyes, with well-maintained body. Her hair was mercury-red, and it tumbled over her shoulders. She had a shapely figure. Her fingernails were varnished. She wore kidult clothes in an offbeat way.

She was just astonished after seeing my condition, and she looked at me, and from her expression she wanted to say,' what the hell I was doing in the kitchen at this time. Didn't I know, we had to go to the hospital lifeline for our PG. training?' Although she doesn't say a single word, but her expression was enough to made me understand what she meant.

Here I was in a messy condition. Hair were not tied properly. I was wearing a grown which has strains everywhere.

After seeing her expression I was like yes I know, and I'm truly sorry for it. I had done this by holding my ears and giving an apologetic look.

Suddenly, without any warning, she dragged me to my room and opened my wardrobe. As usual, she was not surprised with the choices of dress I have there.She as usual gave me the disgusting look and from that, she gave me a hoodie and jeans. She signalled me to change my dress. As soon as I changed my dress. She dragged me out of the house and she locked the door and gave the key to me.

I seriously didn't have any courage to talk to her. Firstly I was super late and secondly yesterday itself, we planned that we would be going at Tiffany's bakery to have breakfast and then together go to the hospital and usual I had just spoiled everything.

Slowly I tapped her on her shoulder while she was riding scooty, and I was sitting behind her.

“ Don't try Eva, am not going to forgive you so soon, How could you do this Eva? Is this the way you valued our friendship,” Trish said with fake tears.

Ooh, God! This was my best friend. She and her tantrums.

After a little conversation, I was able to distract her from the topic. Within that time, we reached the hospital lifeline.

I stepped down from her scooty and we both entered the hospital.

In the corridors of the hospital, there was a great bustle and activity. Doctors and nursing sisters in their white uniforms were moving up and down. At a short distance, there was an operation theatre, fitted with most modern appliances. Outside the operation theatre, there was a set of stretchers and wheeled chairs.

Though we belong to a wolf family, yet we live with humans. Moreover, many werewolves in our pack had a human mate. So, it was obvious that we need to know about humans, diseases they suffer, along with that we needed to know how to cure them. Although we were here to become successful pack doctors but along with it, the hospital facilities decided to teach us about humans and their mechanisms.

I and Trish had joined this hospital 2 months ago along with the other postgraduate doctors. Most of them are humans while few of them belong to our pack. So, the human post graduates only deal with humans. Since we were werewolves, so along with humans, we needed to know about werewolves and how to treat them when they were injured. It always felt good that we were in such a profession where we always tried to protect others rather than to harm them.

As we were PG doctors, so we all had one common room. Every day we had assigned work given to us by our respective departments heads which we needed to complete with the help of senior doctors. As we were new here, so till now, we were only dealing with humans. Futher we both had more interest in Gynecology. So, we both wanted to become a good gynecologist for humans and for that senior Dr. Travis was mentoring us in our work.

As we were proceeding towards the common room, someone called Trish from behind.

“Aaah! Mr Rude is here. I literally hate him.” Trisha murmured. Although the sound was loud enough to be heard by us.

“I guess I can hear you, Trish." Dr Travis said with a smirk.

“No Dr. Travis I was saying that we have 3 Csections, an ovariancyst and ahysterectomy lined up for the day.” Trish said in a hurry which was almost impossible to understand by anyone.

“Trish, will you speak properly in a more clear tone?” Dr Travis said rubbing his head.

As Trish was too nervous to say anything further, So I decided to inform Dr. Travis about the day's schedule.

“Actually doctor we have 3 C-sections, an ovarian cyst and a hysterectomy lined up for the day.”After hearing me Dr. Travis nodded his head.

“Trish, I think you should learn from Eva how to speak.” With that, Dr Travis started moving towards his cabin.

“Eva see, he intentionally irritates me. God knows what he wants. Aaah!” Trish said in an irritated voice.

“He is save only because he is a human. Otherwise, he would have seen the real Trish and would never try to disturb me in this way.” Trish continued.

“It's ok, Trish. Today you have started and you too know that. Also, I think it's okay for now. So, Leave it. We have a hectic day ahead so without further delay let's start our work.” I told her, holding her shoulder and dragging her towards changing room.

Dr. Travis was a 32 year old, a good-looking, tall, sharp-featured, well-built, balanced weight, intelligent human. He knew everything about werewolf as his father belong from a werewolf family. In my opinion he was a good human, along with that, he was a good gynaecologist too. He was an expert in his field. He had an attractive personality. Along with that he had a good sense of clothing which everyone must agree. Although his and Trish equation was not good from the starting day, yet he never showed the same while performing his work. He was completely professional.

After changing our dresses we moved towards the operation theatre. We had completed 2 C-sections under the guidance of Dr. Travis. Then we were proceeding to do hysterectomy, when suddenly we heard a lot of chaos around the hospital.

"Why is there chaos around"?Trish asked curiously.

" Yes, What's happening ?" Dr. Travis asked with a concerning tone.

"Yes, Sir don't worry I am looking into the matter. Please continue with the operation."I said as I was also curious to know what was happening outside. So with that, I came out of the OT and went outside.

But when I saw the devastating scene outside, I was literally shocked. I was not able to move my feet. It simply reminded me of the incident of my past which I always wanted to forget.
