Chapter 222: What do you gods do anyway?
Selene POV
As Kragen laid me gently on the bed, I felt a wave of exhaustion wash over me. The events of the day – my confrontation with Nora, the strange occurrences in my office and the one that had happened in the corridor, seemed to crash down on me all at once.
The pack doctor bustled around me, checking my pulse and peering into my eyes. "Now then, Luna," he said kindly "Can you tell me how you feel?"
"I don’t know how to put it in words," I started quietly "But I was on my way to my office when I felt dizzy, by the time I opened my eyes, I was already standing at the door and I had no recollection of walking there myself. After that, I started working, felt another wave of dizziness again and here am I,".
When I finished, I saw the pack doctor staring at me thoughtfully, "I could have attributed the signs of dizziness to the pregnancy but then suddenly appearing in front of the door in your office, the nose bleeds... I don’t know what to make of it. But also, it could still be several things," he mused. "Stress, perhaps or a complication of the pregnancy which I checked a while ago and the baby seemed to be doing fine. But..." he trailed off, his brow furrowing.
"I’d suggest you go over to the hospital to run proper tests, only then we will know what’s wrong with you," the doctor said instead.
"But what?" Kragen demanded fixing his gaze "You wanted to say something just now. What is it?"
The doctor sighed. "Well, there are... other possibilities. Less natural ones and the nose bleeds is always an indication of something,".
I felt a chill run down my spine. "What do you mean?"
The doctor looked uncomfortable but the cold look on Kragen’s face must have loosened his mouth making him keep talking. "Well, Luna, given your position and the... circumstances of your pregnancy. We cannot rule out the possibility of foul play,".
The words hung in the air, heavy with implication. My mind raced back to Nora’s threats and the whispers about me that had been going on in the corridors of the pack house.
