Cas shook his head. “You’re not pregnant, but it would be plausible for you to want to ask her about birth control.”

“How do you know I’m not?”

“Your scent hasn’t changed,” Liam explained. He leaned against my desk and watched us with narrowed eyes. “It’s been stable since we bonded you, but I would have noticed even before then.”

Why didn’t it surprise me these two were insanely sensitive to the changes in my body?

“Okay, you can go to the clinic,” Cas decided. “But only if you take me with you. I’ll stay in the lobby and we’ll keep a channel open while you go in there. I want you to wear a hidden camera too so I can see what you see.”

“Can you handle me and Frankie going over to Aegis?” Liam tilted his head like he wasn’t sure I could. “It hasn’t been long since we bonded you.”

I covered the marks on my neck with my hand, feeling just how sensitive they still were. They were already scabbed over. Considering how fast they were healing I’d say they’d be silver marks in just a few days, but wearing scent blockers would be painful.

“It’ll be okay,” I said, trying to convince them and myself. “Even if the scabs rip off when I remove the scent blockers, it’ll be fine. I’ll heal. This is more important than a little pain and discomfort.”

“If that’s what you want, then that’s what we’ll do.” Liam came over and wrapped his arms around the both of us. “I made you a promise and I intend to keep it, but be a good girl and listen to Cas, okay? Don’t stress him out too much.”

I bit my tongue, telling myself I definitely should not ask what would happen if I was bad. “I’ll do my best.”

He chuckled and ruffled my hair. “Now, go get dressed while I update Frankie.”

“Whatever you say, Alpha.”

Liam growled softly as I ran toward my room, glancing back only once to see him watching me with those dangerous eyes that wanted to devour my heart and soul.

I would never get enough of that.

CHAPTER 44

Lucy

I pretended to sign something on the clipboard and handed it to Erin. She led me down the hall to the patient rooms to wait for the doctor and I made a non-committal noise to whatever question she asked me as I strained my ears to hear what I really came here for.

“The doctor will be with you shortly,” Erin informed me as she opened the door to one of the empty patient rooms. “Let’s get your blood pressure, temperature, and weight in the meantime.”

I adjusted the earbud in my ear and nodded, pulling my arm out of my grey coat so she could wrap the cuff around it.

The sound of the machine squeezing the absolute shit out of my arm made it hard to hear anything else, but Erin sat down and logged into the computer at the little desk before rolling back over to me to stick the thermometer in my ear.

“120 over 80 and 97.6 degrees. Still on the low side it seems.” She tossed out the little plastic cap and pulled off the cuff. “Could you take off your shoes before standing on the scale?”

I nodded again and slipped off my steel-toed boots to stand on the scale, still not hearing Melinda.

“She’s downstairs getting her blood drawn,” Erin whispered as she leaned down to see the number on the scale. “Her appointment is already over.”

“I’m waiting just outside the building,” Cas told me over the phone. His deep voice in my ear was soft enough it didn’t make me jump. “Once I know what car she’s driving, I’ll get the license plate number and pull up the tracking device on it.”

“175.3 pounds and you’re still 5 foot 8, right?” Erin directed me back to the exam table. “You’ve lost a bit of weight since the last time you were here. How are your stress levels these days?”

“Fine? I dunno. They seem the same…” Maybe a little worse after everything that happened with Cas and Liam, but better now that I was bonded. I just didn’t really want to get into that.

I wanted her to leave so I could get what I needed.

“Alright, we’ll make sure to do some blood tests then. Anything you’d like me to note in your file for the doctor?”

“Yes, actually. I would like to start birth control.”

Erin’s eyebrows rose but she didn’t say anything about that. She just typed my answer into the computer and then opened the mini fridge under the desk. “Is there anything else I can get you while you wait?”
