What pack are you from? I don’t detect a scent.
I sighed but I knew it was time. The Alpha King deserved my story. I Uh…left my pack when I was 13. They didn’t allow women to fight and my passion was medicine but they demoted me and forced me to work in the kitchens. I snorted. It offended me immensely so I cut ties and ran. Went to UC Davis as a Doctor and a Master of Vet Medicine. Now I work at a practice in the human world. Never even met my wolf. She wasn’t present before I left and after I cut my tether she was gone. It was an adjustment but I’m doing what I love. I read his scans. Good news first or bad news?
Bad news.
Hermit was right. Cancer. Good news? Hermit was wrong. Only stage 2.
Meaning what?
Maybe 3-5 days in the med wing and then you can go home. I wanna try a treatment make sure it helps then you can live your life.
Really?
Really. It’s early enough where I’m fairly confident you’ll completely recover. So you let me know when you’re ready for treatment and we’ll get going.
If you wanna see if it’ll help knock it out now. Actually Lemme get my wife and son in here so they can hear that. She nodded and 5 minutes later they showed up with Ryan.
Dad nodded so I introduced Lilah to my mother. Mom our new interim pack doctor Lilah. Lilah? My mom Ruby.
Lovely to meet you dear.
You as well.
I was anxious. How bad?
Please Alpha Tyler. Take a breath. He did. I wanna know where you found this “doctor”. His cancer is only stage 2. With your permission I’d like to try a treatment today and as long it’s effective he can go home 48 hours after. His mom was teary.
Rrreally?
Really. I took fresh scans because no offense I don’t trust the idiots notes and look. That’s all there is. Once it’s small enough I’d like to remove it but until then treatment should help speed up the shrinkage.
I hugged her. Thank you I choked out.
I’m sorry someone made you believe he was this sick to begin with. Are you ready to start?
Hook me up Miss Lilah.
Let’s talk about potential side effects first. You might be violently ill after and very tired. It’s normal. It’ll last maybe a few hours and that’s it. Lots of fluids and rest after. Otherwise you should be good and tomorrow you should feel even better. If it works then I’ll have you come once a week for a treatment to shrink it and when it’s small enough I’ll remove it.
How long will that take?
Assuming treatment works? 6 maybe 8 weeks max but I’d expect it to be shorter. If you’re gonna make me interim doctor right now I want all nurses fired. We need a trustworthy new team. I don’t want a single person that worked under that lunatic working for me. The Beta nodded.
Step ahead of you doc. I let them go after you fixed my shoulder.
Good.
I glanced in awe of this woman. When will you be ready to conduct interviews?
Tomorrow. I wanna empty out the medical wing asap. I have a sinking feeling the lunatic you had before has people here who don’t need to be here. I want them out and fixed by tonight. If you’re ready sir I’ll start that treatment now.
You may call me Max and yes I’m more than ready.
Good. I hooked him up. It’ll take half an hour.
