My body felt numb under the fluffy blanket that covered my body.

And it turned stone cold when Kane left the room. Along with my heart.

I felt incredibly jumpy and horny today. Heck, I would do anything to jump Kane right now. But he was right. I was sore. But my mind didn't seem to agree.

I managed to suppress my panic when I noticed the doctor gently pulling away the blanket.

"What are you doing?" I asked, pulling the blanket from his hands.

The doctor ignored my protective behavior and grabbed the blanket once more. "I will have to conduct a physical exam to ensure your symptoms do not signify something much more dangerous, Luna."

Without waiting for my answer or approval, he yanked the blanket away. I screamed and scooted back, as I was simultaneously hit with a cold blast of air and the embarrassment of being completely bare in front of this stranger.

The blanket was thrown far from the bed, put of my reach. Folding my knees up to my chest, I wrapped my arms around it and looked at him wide-eyed.

"He can't hear you. If that's what you're wondering. The examination room is soundproof." The doctor snapped on a pair of blue gloves, and adjusted his glasses to sit on the bridge of his nose. "But first, let me check that cast."

Cautiously, I gave him my fractured arm, pressing my knees closer to ensure that I stayed covered. I shivered as I felt his sweaty palm wrap around my wrist and held by breath as he turned it around, checking my face for any signs of pain.

"How long has it been since you've had the cast on?"

"A month maybe." I replied.

"Ok, good." Bending down, he grabbed an object that consisted of a small sharp looking circular disk at one end and a handle attached to that. He reached over and plugged the device into a nearby outlet causing it to come to life with a low grinding noise.

Gripping my cast firmly, he brought the device down on it, ignoring my panicked attempts to pull my arm away. Before I knew it, the circular device had cut through all of my cast and my arm was free.

Immediately, I snatched my arm back, tucking it between my knees and my body.

I have no idea how he just repaired my arm with what looked like building material, but it's convenient.

"Now, now, Luna. Do you not know that it's not polite to not thank people when they do you a favor?"

I looked up and the doctor had one knee up on the examination bed. He smirked, his bulged eyes narrowing behind his glasses. "Did you honestly think the purple liquid was to help you 'adjust'?"

He tilted his head back and let out a laugh that honestly defeated every witch's cackle.

"I can't believe the Alpha was stupid enough to inject his own mate with drajen."

Wait. Drajen. I've heard of it before. Zaire warned me about it.

"Didn't know you were that daft too." He let out another laugh "It's basically a drug to induce readiness in females, Luna." He said mockingly.

Suddenly he wasn't kneeling on the bed anymore. His face was right next to mine, his dry lips parted, and from it came the most pungent morning breath. And it wasn't even the morning.

Even my screams did not manage to cover the nightmare coming to life.

The panic truly set in when I was forcefully spread on the bed. So as a last retort, I tried using my heat to knock him off, and was taken back when I saw no reaction. Until I saw the chain hung around his neck.

Of course. Why wouldn't the doctor create one for himself if he created one for Kane?

Yet I couldn't be more embarrassed about how ready my body was. I couldn't help but hate myself even more.

This is wrong.

So when the sound of falling clothes was heard in the room, something inhumane took over my senses. It overpowered every rational thought in my brain, capturing and swallowing my body whole.

My palm gripped his meaty arm, as it grew hotter than ever. I gritted my teeth pushing harder as I felt the heat pushing against a semi-solid invisible barrier.

With a final push I felt the heat flood past the barrier, shattering it completely, as the chain resting on the doctor's neck rusted rapidly and decomposed into dust.

The screams that accompanied it were drowned out by the dull buzzing in my brain. But my mind did register the melting flesh dripping onto my palm just in time to not do to much damage.

I held my hand facing upwards stretched as far as it would go, watching it tremble with the foul smelling rotting flesh.

I have to get away.
I have to get away.
I have to go. Now.

I burped as I felt bile rise up in my throat. Before I could control it, it spilt out of my mouth and covered the white tiles, further adding on to the unbearable scent.

Sudden sharp and loud bangs on the door made me completely aware of the situation and the doctor writhing on the floor.

I didn't bother to mention that he was rolling dangerously close to my vomit puddle.

He deserves it.

"Phira? What's taking so long?" A few more bangs.

I stared at the door, feeling blank.

"Phira love? Phira!?"

The door burst down as a very worried Kane barged in, his body tense and eyes scanning the situation.

Until they landed on me and froze. "What happened?"

I didn't even notice my right leg twitching uncontrollably until Kane stepped closer to me.

I have to get out of here.

With a jerk, I ran full speed towards the door, ignoring Kane shouting my name from behind.
I shivered as I heard a loud growl accompanying the shouts. "Someone get her!"

"Zephira! I'm going to get you!"

I giggled as I wiped the hanging hair from my face, fixing mother's favorite rose clip on it. Looking back, I laughed as I saw Quinn desperately trying to hide behind a crooked branch. I gasped as I suddenly tripped over a fallen tree, landing right on my elbow with a sickening crack.

"Quinn!" I cried out, sobbing and holding my broken arm.

"Zephira!" Quinn ran out from behind the branch and knelt down next to me, holding my arm and accessing the damage.

Despite the fire burning pain in my arm I couldn't help but blush at Quinn's face being so close to mine. His golden hair hung forward and onto his forehead in the military haircut that Zaire required all boys in the agency to get.

I couldn't help but crush on him. Though I knew I never had a chance. He was so much older. And there were so many girls he could choose from that were his age.

But Zaire said crushes are for weaklings. For weaklings had feelings. And no agent would prosper from feelings.

My breath hitched as Quinn glanced up at me through his eyelashes, sea green eyes focusing on mine.

"Guards get her!" My head snapped to the noise as I focused on the three guards running towards us.

"Run Quinn, run!" I shouted pushing at him with my arm, swallowing the scream as I realized I had used my bad arm.

"Phira, be safe!"

I knew Quinn would be the one getting the brunt of the punishment for helping me. Yet he was concerned about my wellbeing. You were not allowed to help an agent in training.

My mind couldn't help but be transported among the grass and scattered foot-cutting rocks as I panted and pushed my body as fast as it would go.

But I had reached a dead end. And as I scanned the corridor frantically, I screamed and thrashed as strong arms gripped by body firmly, pulling me into a warm chest.

He's going to take me back.

He's going to take me back to the doctor.

Despite my struggles, I was held tightly to the rock sold chest. Until I froze when a pair of lips brushed the mangled mark. "Calm down." He growled, nipping the skin lightly.

I blushed bright red as I was almost certain that the scent of my arousal coated the air around us.

"We can't keep fucking like this, Phira." He said, sighing against my neck.

I lifted my shoulder, bringing my neck down to meet it as his stubble tickled my sensitive skin. I yelped as a hand was brought down on my bottom. "Plus, you're still naked. We need to get you covered. And a good doctor. I swear on my life, Phira. Nothing like that will ever happen ever again."

Kane growled as we heard heavy footsteps walking our way. I turned around to find a ridiculously pink and sweaty Alfred trying very hard to keep his eyes raised to Kane's level.

I breathed Kane's scent in deeply as another growl was let out. He pushed me behind his back as he pulled off his olive green shirt in one swift move.

Pure muscle.

So delicious.

And the most adorable part was that he had a cute little black beauty mark on the bottom right corner of his stomach. Before I would revel more in his godly body, he had slipped the shirt onto my body, hugging me close as he turned us sideways.

"Alfre-"

"Yes Alpha, " He quivered pulling at his collar. "I'll be on my way now, Alpha. You're the best, Alpha." He wobbled on his way.

As soon as he left, Kane swung me up so that I was situated safely in his arms. I opened my mouth to tell him that the dress was hanging and that I was mooning anyone that could see us, but he quickly tucked the shirt under his arm, so I shut my mouth.

I clutched onto his shirt as he started walking, grumbling under his breath. "I have no idea why I even hired him. He has absolutely no backbone, no defense skills."

I hummed absentmindedly as I played with his buttons, moving my finger over the design on its top. Suddenly he stopped as I felt his hand shifting underneath me. He stopped next to the wall leaning me against it as he pulled one hand out from underneath me.

"Here." I flinched as he dropped a steel ring onto my stomach.

Kane moved away from the wall sliding the hand onto my back as he started walking again.

I carefully picked up the ring. The outside was plain. Nothing written or drawn to indicate its purpose. But the inside seemed to be coated with a black charcoal-like substance that left dark marks on my skin.

It was his protection ring.

"I'm not a true Alpha if I don't even trust my own mate." He said, looking straight forward.

I turned the ring over in my palm and fisted it tightly until it was just a garbled mass of metal. Reaching up as high as I could, I placed a small kiss on his collarbone, watching him tense up as I did so. "I love you." I mumbled into his shirt.

He froze.

He let me down as I stumbled slightly, adjusting his shirt so that it covered all the goods.

His blue eyes pierced mine, as he looked at me disbelievingly. "What did you say?"

I pretended not to hear him and played with a frizzy section of my hair, pulling and twisting on it to make it retain back its curl, but was stopped when Kane gripped both my hands tightly in his, looking at me for an answer.

"I love y-you. Now let my hands go. You're making me nervous."

I didn't want to burn him too, now that he didn't have his protection ring.

He let my hands go, only to push his hands up the shirt on my body, gripping my hips tightly.

His one palm traveled down to grip my bottom sharply as my right leg lifted automatically to wrap around his waist.

I jolted when his finger brushed the stretch marks that I'd gotten from the short pregnancy. I pulled back quickly, as the shirt fell back over my thighs, and hugged myself covering my stomach from his view. 

Kane laughed and shook his head, pulling me back into him. He kneeled and pulled up his shirt laying ticklish kisses on the white markings.

"K-kane! S-stop! Someone might see us!"

"Well, you're right. Someone did see you. "

Kane reacted within a split second, pulling me behind him and whirling around to face the intruder.

It was Kai.

Kai watched us an impassive expression on his face. "And I wish I'd never seen my Alpha get it on with his mate. It's almost equivalent to the one time I walked in on my dad giving mom the 'time of her life'. It certainly did steal the time from my life." He shuddered as his eyes unfocused. "So hairy. So much sweat. And I used to jump on that bed as a little kid!"

But as he saw Kane's eyes darkening and canines slowly lengthening, he abruptly cut off his talk. "Okay, okay. I'll stop. Your jet's here, Alpha."

Like a switch, his eyes brightened up and he calmed down. He picked me up into his arms again, towards this so-called 'jet'.
"You know I can walk right?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

I really hope I shaved.

Kane's arms we right under my thighs, an area I knew to be overly hairy.

"You're good, Love." He was looking right forward, a hint of a smirk playing at his lips.

This is so not fair. Why does he get to hear my thoughts, but not me to him?

On the way to wherever Kane was taking me, I wasted time making tiny snowflakes and pressing to his chest. Kane shivered and looked down, fake glaring at me while I laughed and pressed more coldness into his torso.

Kane growled and playfully flashed his canines at me. Suddenly he stopped, and I realized that we were outside in a wide span of grass. In the center of the huge piece of land was a large metallic structure that gleamed under the sunlight. A long ladder led to a small opening at its side.

I noticed Kenzo walk over from the pack house, a small silver tray balanced on his hands.

I turned to Kane. "Why is Kenzo her-" I was interrupted by Kane roughly capturing my lips with his. He moved fast and vigorously, waiting, growling as I moaned and joined in.

Panting, with my lips feeling swollen, I protested as he abruptly stopped.

"Sorry, Phira. Forgive me." He said as I felt a sharp pinch on the crook of my arm.

I turned and watched as Kenzo extracted a needle of medium length slowly out of the delicate skin.

My eyes started blurring, and I blinked rapidly, trying to clear them. But soon a headache followed, as my vision worsened. Now, all I could see were blurs. I started panicking, breathing harder and thrashing in Kane's arms, but he held on tight, whispering his love, and telling me to hold on for a few moments.

I passed out to the sound of his repeated apologies drowning in guilt.
