CHAPTER TEN
MICHELLE’s POV.
The moment my eyes flutter open, I am shocked to see the man in front of my eyes. He has sharp features like Nicholas but his are more pronounced and his hazel eyes continue to stare back at me while his wavy hair is all over the place.
I can’t lie, I am lost for words. How can a man be this beautiful apart from Nicholas! Everything about him is just so perfect that I can not take my eyes off of him, why did he have such rosy lips? Is he a vampire perhaps?
A lot is going on in my head as I continue to stare at the angel in front of me forgetting that it was their noise that woke me up.
“You are up” his deep and hoarse voice reached my ears and I can feel a knot in my stomach, his voice is also one to die for. For a moment my mind drifts off to Nicholas and my mood immediately dampens the things he did to me.
“Who are you?” I ask him while pushing myself to a sitting position.
“I am a doctor” he answers with an eyebrow.
“How did I get in here?”
I use this opportunity to look around and I have never been in this part of the hospital before. The last thing I remembered was losing consciousness and that’s it, I don’t know what happened after then. Did he bring me into this room?
My eyes fly back to him again and I rest them on him waiting for an answer from him. Maybe I want to hear his voice again.
“You fainted in front of my car and I had no choice but to bring you in, your doctor will be here soon and he will check on you thoroughly. I heard you are pregnant, you should be more careful, you could have miscarried”
I gently hold onto my tummy and feel the little life growing inside of me; thank the moon goddess my baby is safe. I should be more careful in future, I can not put its life in danger again.
“Thank you so much, doctor” I finally find my voice, “I had a lot on my mind and that’s why”
“You should be careful for the safety of your kid, like I said”
“Of course I will”
After he is done, he turns around and walks out of the room much to my disappointment. I wish he stays but why? I don’t even know him, I don’t know his name and I don’t know anything about him. How can I possibly want him to stay longer?
“You should take some more rest, ma’am” the nurse tells me, “your doctor will be here soon”
“Thank you” I flash her a smile and the two of them walk away leaving me alone in the room.
My mind wanders off to Nicholas again and I heave a sigh, I should stay away from him at all cost. He is bad for me and my baby, I need to keep it safe. But how could he? How could he bring her to my doctor? The tears well up in my eyes but I quickly sniff them back. He was not worth shedding tears for anymore.
The door creaks open and doctor Bane saunters in, he has a concerned look hovering above his face and i know why, he is very worried about me and I am glad.
The reason why I am so comfortable with him is because he is one of the pack members and he respects me a lot even up to this moment when Nicholas had cast me away.
“Sorry Luna, I should have come early”
“First of all, I am no longer your Luna doctor Bane, you should really come to terms with that. Didn’t you see? He brought his new wife to get checked by you and I think that is more than the evidence you need”
“Of course”he bows lightly, “my apologies, let me check on the baby”
I pull myself back on the bed and close my eyes, I only want to take care of my unborn baby.
After a few minutes, he finishes and I pull my body to a sitting position again, before turning my attention to him.
“Is everything okay?”
“Yes, it is”
My lips curl into a smile, thank the moon goddess”
“But you need a lot of rest, you shouldn’t worry about anything and let me do the rest”
“Of course”
After I am done, something piques my interest and I turn to him again,
“Nicholas and Natalia, did you check on her?”
“Yes and her baby is doing well”
“Oh”
I am a bit disappointed, I don't know why I feel sad. Did I want something to happen to her? But it should have been me he came with, he should beg been with me but he chose my sister instead. This is something I will never be able to forgive him for no matter what but that is a story for another day. I have to take care of my unborn child for now, the fact that I am unable to heal myself despite my abilities shows that I have to be extra careful and cautious with my pregnancy, I can not lose my baby no matter what.
Tears well up in my eyes but I quickly sniff it back, this is not the time to be weak, I have to be strong for my baby.
“You should take some more rest, I will call for a cab for you”
“Thank you doctor” I flash him a smile and he nods before walking away leaving me to my thoughts and my pain.
After about an hour, I finally decided to go home. I grab my bag and saunter out of the room and it is at this moment that I meet the doctor from earlier.
He is talking to a group of doctors and they all seem interested in what he is saying.
From the look of things, he is a well respected man.
I don’t know for how long I stood until he turns to me and his lips curl into a little smile.“You are ready to leave?” He asks while walking up to me.
“Yes” I answer, “I think I have taken enough rest, I should be on my way now”
“I see” he comes face to face with me, “you really look stressed, you shouldn’t do that. It isn’t good for the baby”
“I will keep that in mind, doctor”
There is something about him that I can not quite grasp, something intriguing yet dangerous and unsettling. Something I didn’t quite understand at the moment and I am not sure if I want to understand it.
“Well, I think I should get going now doctor. I don’t want to get into traffic”
“How about I drop you off?” He asks and my heart skips a beat, is he being serious?
“I don’t think that will be necessary, I don’t want to..
“Let’s go, Michelle” he rasps out and I am taken aback, he even knows my name.
“How do you…”
“We will talk on the way”
With a wink, he turns around and begins to walk towards the entrance leaving me standing dazed, did he do a background check on me so soon?
“Don’t keep me waiting, Michelle” he calls out to me and I gulp before walking towards him, a lot going on in my mind.
