His Plump Mate (by Buchanan) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60

“Additionally, with your Alpha blood, you should recover quickly.” She says.

“Wait, what?” I’m confused, “I’m a beta’s daughter. What do you mean Alpha blood?” I look over to Austin who is looking very interested as well.

“Your father may have been a beta, but I don’t think your mother was Luna.” She says thoughtfully. “I think this is why you have been able to stay strong despite the hunger. If you can find out about your mother and her family history, we could probably close some gaps in your medical record.” She says.

“Gaps?” I ask.

“Yes, there is more to discuss. I wanted to get the primary reason for your visit out of the way. I want to shift your diet a little more than the warriors to get you healthy quicker. I am going to recommend the omegas make your meals higher in protein and more complex carbs like rice and potatoes. That should help with getting your vitamins and minerals back to where they should be. As far as other results,” She begins this new topic, “Your X rays show you have broken bones before. There are one or two that didn’t set properly. Do you ever experience pain in your body from old injuries?” She asks and then follows it up with an additional question, “If you do, do you remember how you got those injuries?”

I look down. I know which injuries she is talking about. I don’t think about them though. It’s been years and I barely feel it anymore. “Yes. They are old injuries doctor.” I begin, “I didn’t realize they were not set properly. It was probably when I was learning how to set my own bones.” I say.

Austin growls. His anger is immediately palpable. I look at him and extend my hand, motioning him to come stand by me. Instead, he lifts me up and sits me on his lap. He puts his nose in my neck and inhales. I know he is doing it to calm himself, but I need to finish explaining to the doctor about the injuries. If there is a way to fix it, I’m willing to do it.

“The first injury is my right leg. I was probably 13 years old. My father started training me after I got Roxie. She’s a great wolf. Anyway, he kicked my leg during training and I felt it break. My father told me to get up and continue, because during a battle, no one will stop because you break a bone, instead they will go for the kill. I got back up and continued fighting until it was time to go in and clean up so I could start my chores at the house. By the time evening came, I was in so much pain. I struggled to climb the ladder to the attic. Once there, Roxie and I tried to set it. We did the best we could.” I say recalling that painful memory. “Afterwards, I found a book in my father’s office when he wasn’t around. It was a medical book on emergency procedures. There was information there on how to set bones and it took a couple of tries to get it right. After that, if something broke, Roxie and I were able to set the bones properly.”

When I look up, Dr. Hadley and Austin were both enraged. Austin’s arms were trembling with fury. “You mean, your father deliberately broke your bones as part of your training?” Austin whispered with rage. His eyes were flickering and I could tell Cronos was just as furious.

“How many times did he break your bones Luna?” Dr. Hadley asked, trying to keep her emotions at bay.

I looked down, full of shame. How pathetic I must be to them. “I don’t know. I lost count after the third time.” I said with my voice tiny. They are both furious and every time someone was furious with me back home, I always shrink inside myself so they wouldn’t take it out on me.

“I’m sorry, Alpha, Luna, I need to step out for a minute.” Dr. Hadley said with her eyes shining like she might cry. She walks out and leaves Austin and me by ourselves in the room.
