It’s been nearly two months since I lost Mena. Today, Mason and I go back to the doctor to see if I’ve healed enough for us to start having sex again. We’ve definitely been creative in the last couple of weeks, but I’m ready to feel my mate inside me.
I’m nervous when we walk into the pack hospital and get our room, and I can feel that Mason is too. He squeezes my hand as we wait for the doctor to come in.
The doctor walks in, a clipboard in his hands. “Good morning, Alpha, good morning, Luna.” He says, glancing up at us before looking back at the papers on his clipboard.
“All of your lab work looks good. So, let’s take a look and see if your body has healed.” He says.
I get settled on a clinic bed and the doctor looks at Mason. “Alpha, I need to touch your mate and I need to insert a scope into her body. The scope will let me know if she has healed.” He turns a screen toward us.
“You can watch what the scope shows here and if anything stands out, I will point it out to you. Do you understand?” He asks. When Mason nods, he turns to me. “Luna, any questions before we begin?”
“No, doctor, thank you.” To an outsider, it might seem as if he’s ignoring me and talking to Mason, but Mason is the one that will t*ear him apart because he’s touching me. So, I understand that the doctor is protecting himself first and making sure I understand everything second.
The minute the doctor lifts the sheet that covers my lower half, Mason growls. The doctor stops, looking at Mason and waiting until he’s back in control.
“Alpha, I’m going to insert the scope into Luna’s body now.” He says, watching Mason for a moment before looking down and inserting the scope. I take Mason’s hand, trying to calm him. It would be easier if I wasn’t on edge about today and that is probably not helping Mason’s inability to control himself right now.
“Okay, what we’re looking for here are fissures, lesions or scar tissue.”
“English, Doc.” Mason says.
He looks at Mason, then me. “We’re checking to see if Luna’s body has healed from the miscarriage. Not only is that traumatic to her body but she suffered internal damage because of the battle and Warrior Lewis being pressed against her stomach during the attack.”
He turns back to the screen, and Mason and I watch as the scope moves deeper inside me. I have no idea what I’m looking at, and when I look at Mason, his look of confusion matches my feelings.
Finally, the doctor pulls the instrument from my body. He covers me up again before turning back to me and Mason. “Excellent news. Luna, you are completely healed. You can resume your normal activities. I would suggest, however, that when you get pregnant again, you come to me immediately so we can ensure that all is well, and that the fetus is healthy and stable inside you.”
I smile, looking at Mason. His eyes have gone dark. It’s been much, much too long for us.
“Thank you, doctor.” He says, never taking his eyes off of me.
The doctor clears his throat. “I’ll just leave you two…”
If he says anything else, we don’t hear him.
Mason leans forward, pressing his forehead to mine. “So, my Luna, do I need to find someone to run our pack indefinitely?” He asks me.
I giggle in anticipation of having my mate inside me. “Maybe just for the next couple of days?”
I watch as his eyes go unfocused. “Done.”
I arch an eyebrow at him. “That was fast.”
“I put your father on notice that I may need his a*s*sistance. He happily agreed. I just asked Elijah to contact him. Get dressed, we’re going away for a couple of days.”
“Today?” I ask, astonished.
“Today. Right this minute. I promised you that I’d knot you as many times as you wanted when you got the all clear and personally, the idea of being connected to you nearly non-stop has me ready to take you right here on this hospital bed. So hurry up, we’re leaving.” He says, smacking my a*s*s as I get out of bed.
“What about clothes, toothbrushes, hairbrushes, all of that?”
“You won’t need clothes for what I have in mind, and I have a bag packed with all the necessities we’ll need to get away for a couple of days.”
“Well, who am I to argue with a well-prepared Alpha?” I ask, just as he leans forward and lifts me over his shoulder.
“Mason!” I exclaim as he walks me out of the hospital room.
As we walk through the waiting room, I begin to hear wolf whistles and howls. “She got a clean bill of health, boys. See you in a couple of days.” He hollers at the pack.
The sounds of cheering, wolf whistles and howling becomes deafening as Mason carries me away.
As he walks me to the car, Elijah comes up with a bag. “Congratulations, Luna. See you soon.” He says as Mason puts me down, helping me into a car.
As we pull out of the pack lands, I turn to him. “Where are we going?”
“The ocean.” He says and looks at me smiling.
“Will I even get to see it?” I ask.
“I rented the entire beach, just in case. So don’t you worry my mate. You’ II not only get to see it, you’ll get to enjoy it for longs periods of time while you take my knot.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
For the next two days, I get to enjoy the sun, the sand, the saltiness of the ocean water and listening to the ocean waves crashing against the shore at night, all while knotted by my mate. We feed each other, bathe each other, explore each other’s bodies and reconnect with each other.
At the end of our time, I know that there isn’t a chance in hell that I’m not carrying my mate’s child.
