Amelia Lovecraft

Staring at the bathroom mirror while brushing my teeth, I couldn't help but giggle at the state of my almost coal coloured hair which would be a perfect fit for a bird's nest. After I finished showering and styling my hair. I walked out of the bathroom with my towel wrapped around me to get dressed.

It's been more than a week that I've been training with the chief doctor here at the pack, Dr. Alex Thornton. He's been amazing with helping me learn so much, the perfect mentor I could have asked for. Parking my car in the nearest spot to the hospital, I walked in greeting the guards and other colleagues. With Alex taking care of the older werewolves, I was appointed for the pups. They come to me with tear stained sad faces from bruises to broken bones. It was definitely a task to bring up a smile upon their innocent faces. As for what the nurses and other doctors told me, I have been doing a good job. Taming a child throwing a tantrum, obviously wasn't my strongest points but I still tried.

"Morning Mia!" Alex spoke up with a bright smile as I entered the chief doctor's office.

"Hey morning Alex.." I replied. Alex was a few years older than me but we became good friends on the first day itself. He began sitting with me even during lunch and also happened to bring me coffee on most days. I had learnt that Alex had lost his mate in a car accident just a month after they met. During certain topics you could still feel him mourning over his lost mate so I try my best to avoid the matter.

"It's going to be a busy morning I would say, I have twelve appointments before lunch." He huffed.

"Well with kids, I only have three but you never know when an emergency could happen." I shook my head. The pups had so much energy in them that they had to do all sorts of stunts for fun and sadly a few end up being badly injured.

Bringing me out of my thoughts, we heard a huge wail from the corridors and I knew what was going happen.

Alex raised his eyes from a report he was studying and I picked up the stethoscope in preparation to what's to come. The cry got louder and louder as a lady turned into the office with a kid not more than six years old, covered in mud from head to toe with a cut on his calf.

"Doctor my son fell off the tree and hurt his leg." The mother spoke worried.

"Okay, let me take a look at it." I began walking towards the boy when he let out a shrill scream, making me and the nurses wince.

"DON'T COME NEAR ME YOU GHOST!" He yelled again. What a way to start the morning eh? Heera whispered.

Alex chuckled as he left me alone. Giving a glance at his disappearing figure I turned to the kid.

"Mathew that's not how you talk to a doctor.." the mother said strictly.

"Ma, she's a ghost... lo... look she's wearing white.. take me home please." he pointed at my lab coat.

"Okay Mathew, I'm not a ghost." I simply took off my lab coat and placed it on the office chair. The kid stopped crying and watched my every move so carefully. I gave him a smile and walked behind the desk and pulled out a lollipop for him.

"Here you go big man, now would you come with me?" I offered him the candy, which he eyed suspiciously before looking at his mum for permission. As soon as she nodded he took it and looked up at me.

"Come!" I held out my hand and he placed his hand in mine. We walked into the kids ward as a nurse followed me.

The nurse swiftly picked up Mathew and laid him on the bed and began cleaning up the mud around his leg.

"He must be a handful.." I spoke to the mother as I wore my gloves on.

"Oh my..." she shook her head, not being able to put into words about how naughty her son could be. I let out a small laugh and turned towards Mathew. Inspecting the wound I noticed that it had to be stitched and covered up, which would heal in a couple weeks.

Lincoln Hunters

Currently I was driving to one of my cottages with Sarah to spend the day there since, she wasn't happy about how busy my life had got after becoming alpha. All through out the drive she spoke about the diamonds and rubies she had bought at the auction. I could feel how excited she was about it and that's what I needed, to keep my woman happy.

"Alpha, our Luna almost fainted after having a headache since this morning. She refuses to see the doctor. Alpha Elijah has already left to the south, if you could please convince her to come to the hospital." Jason, one of the guards in the mansion mind linked me.

Without thinking further I drove the car towards the pack house. I had to see my mother.

"Linc?" Sarah questioned.

"Mum isn't feeling well, I need to take her to the hospital." I replied, noticing her huff in disappointment to which I didn't care.

"Mum!" I raised my voice, and in a minute she appeared out of the kitchen as if she was busy doing something.

"Jason told me.." she cut me off.

"Oh Lincoln, it's nothing son. I just felt a little dizzy but I'm fine now look!" She beamed at me.

I crossed my hands over my chest not buying the bullshit she was saying, I gently took the apron off her and threw it at the nearest guards and walked her towards the car.

"Linc I told you.." she tried to reason.

"We're going to the hospital now." I opened door for her to take a seat, and thankfully she did without another word.

With Sarah still seated in the passenger seat I took off to the hospital.

~~~~~

Pulling into the enormous pack hospital which was built by my great great grandfather. I parked the vehicle in the front of the building stepping out with mum, as Sarah remained in the car till we were done. The hospital was vast and well equipped for all our needs, and at times we've taken in injured and ill werewolves from other packs who needed better medical assistance. Gently grabbing my mother by her shoulder, I walked through the doors. Noticing our presence the receptionist walked towards us.

"Alpha Lincoln, my Luna." He bowed.

Nodding towards his gesture, "who are the doctors on shift right now?" I inquired.

"Umm, r...right now... th..there's Dr. Thornton and Dr. Lovecraft sir." He stuttered.

Lovecraft? David's daughter. Assuming mum would be more comfortable with a lady, "I'd like to see Dr. Lovecraft." I placed my free hand in my pocket.

"Y..yes sure Alpha." He rushed towards the corridor that led us to the chief doctor's office.

"Oh Linc, you scared the boy for no reason." Mother shook her head.

" I did nothing." I shrugged.

"Just smile, smile when you talk to someone.. please." She tried to look stern to which I let out smirk, eventually following the receptionist through the corridors.

Walking through the white and grey coloured corridors we took a turn to reach the office, that's when I felt as if everything around me just froze in time.

Even as mother was talking about something dad did, my complete attention focused on the faint but intoxicating smell of vanilla and something else so floral. I lifted my chin up to get a good sniff at the scent and it was indeed vanilla and jasmine.

Closing my eyes for a second and stopping dead in my tracks I inhaled the scent as Kai began pacing back and forth.

"Son?" My mum questioned my sudden behaviour.

I began walking again trying to hide my anxiousness about what I just felt. Hoping the faint addictive scent grows stronger but to my surprise I could only get a slight whiff of it.

"Where is she?" Kai was growling impatiently.

Not in the mood to reply to him, I held mum's hand and walked into the office. The fragrance was definitely stronger as we entered the office walls. Looking around I spotted no one but Dr. Thornton. Kai and I both sighed in disappointment.

"Alpha, what's brought you here?" Alex spoken up with a broad smile. Standing from his seat as he walked up to us.

"It's mother," I looked down at her.

"Luna," Alex took hold of her hand and guided her to the seat near the desk. As she sat on the chair I noticed the white lab coat laid on the vacant seats. While the doctor began to talk to mum, I picked up the lab coat and even before I had to sniff it, the scent made me feel euphoric. Inhaling it like a drug, I smiled to myself. This is what is it, the feeling, the bond.

She's here.

Tightening my hold on the lab coat, I detected a shiny silver name tag. Eagerly flipping it, "Amelia Lovecraft" it read.

"Yes Luna, the dizziness is because of low blood pressure levels." I heard their conversation which caught my attention, clearing my throat I sat beside my mother. After the doctor prescribed some medication and requested a nurse to go grab them. We waited in the office till the prescriptions arrived.

On an ordinary day, the waiting would have made me impatient but today I was hoping this mystery owner of the most intoxicating smell would show up in front of me. As time went on Kai and I began feeling crabby, clutching onto the lab coat and taking one sniff of it calmed my nerves in an instant.

Gaining my composure I noticed how mum and Alex were having a hearty conversation which meant they didn't notice my act a second ago. Sighing in relief I laid back on my chair as Alex glanced at me with an apologetic smile.

"Alpha Lincoln apologies for the delay. She should be here soon?"

"She?" I straightened my back.

"Umm the nurse." He nodded hesitantly.

"Oh.. yes of course.." I nodded stiffly.

"Desperate are we" Kai snickered.

"Shut the fuck up before I block you out" I snapped at him.

"Linc! Ugh!" Sarah walked in looking exhausted as hell. That's when I felt like I was awakened from my daze.

"Oh sorry dear, just waiting for the prescription to arrive." Mum spoke as I looked up at my girlfriend.

"A few minutes okay." I gave her a small smile as my mind was getting messed by the thought of a mate. She's here and so is Sarah. Fuck.

"Fine!" She whines quickly making herself comfortable on my lap.

"Um Sarah?" I spoke quietly, "how about take another chair?" I itched the back of my neck, feeling awkward at the position we were in front of mum and the doctor.

"No." She snuggled into my neck.

As soon Sarah made her presence Kai was no where in the scene, just like he always does.

Watching the clock tick, the air began to fill in with jasmine and vanilla pushing away the faint scent of Sarah. The fragrance began getting stronger every second.

"She's coming our way!" Kai's ears perked up.

"Umm Sarah, how about we stand up?" I tried placing her down but she didn't budge. Damn it.

I noticed how mum rolled her eyes.

Forgetting everything around me, my nose sniffed as the scent got stronger.

The footsteps got closer, quickening it's strides in the process. Is she excited to see me? Is that why she's moving fast.

Completely forgetting about the girlfriend laid on me, my heart began beating so fast. If it wasn't for Sarah holding me down, I would have made my way to find out who the scent belonged to. Wiping the sweat off my forehead I waited till the approaching figure entered the office.

She paused before the entrance, Kai was being very observant right now. He was ready to pounce at moment feeling her presence so close. The creaked open and my eyes snapped to her.

"Mate!"

Her hazel eyes wide, her pink plump lips slightly open and she held a file so tight to her chest as if to gain some kind of support from it. The black luscious looking hair, ran tidily down to her waist. My eyes glanced back to her face but now her wide doe eyes seemed to have narrowed at me as she bit her bottom lip. She looked upset.

Reality hit me, I met my mate for the first time with my girlfriend seated on my lap.

Fucking hell!
