“Dr. Matthews, Avery Spencer’s blood work has come back”
“Thanks Bev.” I take the documents to my office to look over it with Richard. When I open the door, he’s pacing the floor, with his phone in hand. “What’s going on Richard? Why are you so invested in an outsider?” Richard stops mid stride, lifting his hands behind his head. “Why would her scent be so faint, it doesn’t make sense?”
“I’m wondering about that myself, I’m about to look at her blood work, it may explain something” I’m beginning to get a feeling she’s his mate, why else would he be so invested. “She’s your mate isn’t she?” his mouth opens but nothing comes out, his lack of reply answers that question. No Alpha in Old Moon has found their true mate in 6 generations. That explains a lot. A huge part of me is so excited that this once in a life time encounter has been gifted to him, but where does that leave us. “Calm ya farm.....sit....!” trying to lighten the mood, I open the file and walk behind my desk, taking my seat slowly. Interesting! “If she’s a schizophrenic, she’s not medicated.” I continue reading, shocked at what I see. My shock must be noticeable as Richards eyes glow with impatience. “Well, what’s it say?” “Wolf’s bane!” large quantities of Wolfspain. “To function with this quality, she’d have to build up a tolerance, that would mean taking it over a long period of time.” What the f**k is going on here? With what’s in her system, she shouldn’t be able to walk, let alone cross a road.” At this point I’m shaking my head in disbelief.
“Could that be a reason her scent......taking it over a long period of time I mean.””
“It could be.” I’m at a loss for words, “Why would a wolf be pumping themselves full of wolf’s bane in the first place?
