His Plump Mate (by Buchanan) novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59

I look down and sigh. I can tell I’m going to need to explain my life at Ironclaw again. “This is my first time seeing a pack doctor.” I say quietly.

Her eyes widen and shock registers, “This is your first time ever seeing a doctor in your life Luna?” I nod shyly.

“What did your family do when you were in need of medical attention?” she asked me.

“Um, I had to cure myself doctor.” I said, tears stinging my eyes. “I didn’t exactly have a loving home growing up.” I added.

“I see.” I look up to her watching me. Her eyes have softened and I see something kind flickering in her eyes. Well, Luna, I am always available if you ever need medical attention moving forward. Do not ever hesitate to come see me if you are injured or unwell. I promise you will receive the best care, and not just because you are the Luna.” She says with a smile.

“Now, let’s start with an exam. I want to also get some blood work and X–rays done. I intend to be very thorough Luna. Since you have never been to a doctor, I am starting with zero information. Also, I am going to ask you quite a few questions. Do you know your family’s medical history at all?” She asks. Her demeanor has gone right back to professional and serious, but I catch the sincerity of all of her words and it puts me at ease.

“I don’t know any of my family history. Only that my mother died giving birth to me. Otherwise, I have no knowledge of anything.” I say to her, this time trying to match her level of professionalism.

“Okay, let’s start with the primary reason you are here. How long have you been experiencing the hunger issues? “She starts as we talk for over an hour. I answer her questions as best as I can, but I don’t know much about any of these things she’s asking about.

After a couple of hours of questions, X–Rays, drawing blood, getting my height, weight, checking my eyes, ears, nose and throat, the doctor steps out to retrieve the results of all the tests. While she is gone, Austin, who has stayed quiet and seated the entire time comes to stand in front of me.

“See darling? Nothing to be afraid of coming here. I feel like I learned so much more about you today though.”

says as he leans down to kiss me. I wrap my arms around him and deepen our kiss. He growls approvingly as he tightens his grip. Before we could go any further, Dr. Hadley knocks and enters the room. We pull away from each other and Dr. Hadley smiles knowingly at us.

“Okay Luna, I wanted to rule out some conditions first before moving on to what I suspect is the issue. First, you are not diabetic or have thyroid issues. It is very rare for any wolf to have these conditions but not impossible. You are, however, malnourished, and I suspect this is the biggest underlining issue. Based on our conversation earlier, you’ve never had a good diet and that will need to change if we want to get your healthy and stop having these hunger issues.” She advises.

“My diet?” I question. “I’m already plump Dr. Hadley.” I hope she doesn’t tell me I need to gain weight. I am already self–conscious at it is around everyone, except Austin.

“Luna, just because you are above weight, doesn’t mean your diet is healthy. Based on what you explained, no one ever cared about your nutrition. You were forced to figure out how to eat on your own from a very young age. You developed a condition called ‘polyphagia.“” She says. “You eat a lot of foods that don’t help your body maintain energy. You fill up quickly with what you do eat, but it’s empty of nutritional value. That coupled with the stress and anxiety you have lived with until recently, has caused this condition to show itself.”
