Filed To Story: Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel

‘Finally, if anyone can figure this out it will be Griffin.’

“Joaquin.” Noah called out. “Come on, you need to get out of here and let Griffin work.”

“No.” Joaquin snapped at him. “I need to be here for her.”

“You’re not in the right state of mind right now. You need to take a walk and calm down. Griffin will send word when he is done.”

“I can’t leave her. I promised her I never would.” I wanted to cry at how much pain I was causing my mate, my husband.

“You’re not leaving her. You’re giving the doctor the space to work. Come on.” Noah’s soothing voice seemed to have worked and I heard a slight calming in Joaquin’s breathing.

“I will be back soon, Little Bunny, don’t worry baby.” He called out to me as I heard their footsteps retreating and the door close.

“Now, time to find out what is wrong with you. I’m going to do my best Riviana, don’t worry.” Griffin’s voice was like a soothing island in this whole messed up situation. As much as I love Joaquin, he was not handling this situation very well. I get he didn’t know what had happened and therefore was unable to handle it at all, but still it was not good for my sanity right now.

I felt Griffin examine me. He opened my eyes, I felt the lids move at least, and I assumed that he shined a light into them but I still couldn’t see anything. It was entirely as if I was a conscious spirit trapped in a dead body or something.

I felt him hold my wrist, most likely taking my pulse. He pressed a stethoscope to my chest and checked for a heart rate. But still I could only tell what he was doing after he started and it was very disconcerting.

“I don’t know if you can hear me Riviana, but you are my Luna and the mate of a good friend of mine, I want to help you, I want to make you better, so please trust me.” It was like he was asking permission to examine me.

‘Do what you need to do, Griffin, I trust you.’ I told him even though I knew he couldn’t hear me at all.

“I’m going to check the baby next, ok.” He really was going to tell me what he was doing, like he wanted me to not be shocked.

I felt him shift me a little on the bed, making it easier to examine me. Next, I felt my shirt slide up, he was exposing my stomach. Then, without warning, there was a sudden rush of cold on my belly. Judging by the feel and sudden ‘pfft’ noise that accompanied it, I could guess he was putting that blue gel on me again.

There was a slight pressure added to my abdomen and that same static sound as he moved the item pressing against me around. He was looking for the baby’s heartbeat. This was the first time that I realized that I couldn’t feel the baby’s warmth inside of me since I collapsed.

“Come on, where are you.” He spoke softly but I heard him. I was getting nervous now.

‘Please find it, please.’ I begged him.

“There you are.” His voice sounded relieved as the rapid beating sound came over the speaker.

‘Thank you, oh Goddess thank you.’ I felt relief wash over me even though I couldn’t move or react.

“So, the baby is alright, I don’t think there is anything to worry about there. I am going to examine you now.”

At these words he started to check all over my body. I was wearing a pair of shorts and a loose t-shirt so it was easy for him to do so. It was evident right away that there were no bruises on me, but it looked like he was looking for more than just bruises.

He seemed to be checking closely. At times I could even feel his breath on my skin. Normally, in a situation like this I would feel uncomfortable, a man I barely knew intensely checking my body while I was for all intents and purposes unconscious. That would be creepy under most circumstances. But Griffin was a doctor, a damn good one too, and I knew he wouldn’t hurt me or Joaquin would kill him.

“There are no apparent wounds or needle marks. So you weren’t attacked or drugged. Of course I will have to have your stomach contents and blood run for toxins, but they’re unlikely.”

He checked around in my hair as well, feeling my scalp and checking my hairline. There was a point when it seemed like he was smelling me. I knew it wasn’t anything sexual but that was the weirdest part of it all.

“There is no scent of magic or drugs, no bumps, bruises, anything.” He sounded frustrated. “Your pupils are not reactive, you are basically catatonic. This is completely unexplainable.”

‘Yeah, it’s a real mystery, call up Scooby and the gang, get McGruff the crime dog, do whatever you can, just get someone in here to help me.’ My annoyance was back again. Griffin wasn’t finding anything and I was getting scared.

“I’m not going to give up, Riviana, I promise. But right now, I am stumped. I need to get you to the hospital, or at the very least my clinic so I can run more tests.”

Just after Griffin spoke those words I heard the door bang open and footsteps thunder in.

“Joaquin.” Griffin yelped.

“How is she?” Joaquin sounded hopeful but like it was halfhearted.

“Still no change. From everything that I have been able to affirm she is by all accounts healthy and shows no signs of trauma. I can’t detect any magic alteration or other cause of this issue.”

‘Yup, I’m healthy as can be, I just can’t see, move, talk, or do anything. Guess I’m just going to be a rag doll from now on.’

“Would you mind if I examined her?” Gabriel’s voice startled me, was this state messing with my sense of smell too, I didn’t know he was in here until I heard his voice. Then again, I hadn’t noticed anything other than touch and sound, guess I was down to just two of the five senses.

“Who are you?” Griffin ground out.

“I am the Watcher of the Sentinelle.” Gabriel’s voice was still calm and collected.

“The Sentinelle? Those weirdos that showed up yesterday?”

“Indeed.” Gabriel seemed calm even with the insult.

“It’s alright Griffin, he is here to help and we can trust him.”

“Does that mean what they said yesterday is true?” Griffin sounded shocked.

“Yes, Griffin, it’s all true. Riviana is the Queen.”

“And that makes you the King, and the baby-.”

“Baby?” Gabriel interrupted him as soon as he heard the word.

‘Yeah, sorry Gabe old boy, we forgot to mention that.’

“Yes, the baby.” Griffin sounded smug.

“Riviana is indeed pregnant, Gabriel. We found out last month.”

‘You mean you knocked me up last month, even though I had just told you in January that I wasn’t ready for a baby. You’re lucky I love you and am happy about this baby you stupid over grown dog.’

“So she is not very far along, but she is indeed with child?” Gabriel asked to confirm.

“Yes, I confirmed it medically myself.” Griffin told him.

“Is that your gift then?” Gabriel wondered. “You are a doctor, are you not? And your gift is to help people. Humans and non-humans alike?”

“Yes, I guess that is what you can consider it. But I never really thought of it as a gift before.”

“You are a healer, that is a gift for sure.”

I kept hearing them talk about gifts and it reminded me of granting Juniper hers. Yes, Griffin should have a gift. He is truly a healer, someone who brings peace back to others by healing their body. I wish I could give him that ability, something to make it easier for him.

No sooner had I thought those words than I could feel a strange pulling sensation. It wasn’t pulling my body, it actually felt like it was pulling my mind and my heart. The last of what I could hear and feel was being pulled from me.

Once the pulling was gone I was laying there in the dark with nothing but utter silence surrounding me. I couldn’t feel anything or hear anything like I did earlier. Everything was gone now. I knew my heart was racing but I felt nothing.

Outwardly they could see nothing of the immense fear that was gripping me. I couldn’t hyperventilate, I couldn’t scream, I couldn’t even feel the rapid beating of my heart. Fear was slowly taking over my entire body with every passing second.

Suddenly, I felt a warmth begin to spread over me. It started in my chest and moved slowly, outwardly, until it had spread to every part of my body. I could just barely sense the light that was in the room, but still there was no sound around me at all. I could however hear the pounding of my heart pulsing in my ears. I could also smell the three men who were standing in the room. I was back.

Slowly, I tried opening my eyes, fluttering them against the bright lights in the room. I opened my mouth and took a deep breath, I could even taste the air.

“Finally.” I breathed quietly.
