The wolf snapped its teeth at the door.
“Kodi, you won’t be biting anyone that stops you,” Lennon interpreted accurately, by the narrowing eyes.
“Lennon,” Jonny hooked his arm though Lennon’s, “we need to head in, and you aren’t coming.” Jonny glanced at the snarling wolf. “Behave, I’m his brother.”
The stern daddy voice only got a snarl and Kodi’s wolf staring at them in a way that said try me.
Lennon couldn’t control the giggles at the ridiculousness of the situation.
The door behind them opened and before anyone could stop Kodi, he bolted through it and stood in the reception area, acting like he belonged.
Lennon chased after him, offering apologetic smiles to the middle-aged receptionist when she stood so fast her chair toppled backwards and landed with a crash, getting every pair of eyes in the waiting area to turn in their direction.
“He can’t come in here,” she shrieked, arms wafting about towards Kodi, who didn’t look in the least bit concerned.
“You try telling him,” Jonny muttered, sounding more amused than irritated.
“This is a doctor’s practice, not a kennel.” Her voice was very annoying.
“Is there a place we can wait so he can stay?” Lennon asked when the wolf made a sinister growling noise when the wafting turned to poking a finger at him.
Lennon was trying to be sensible.
You love it.
Be quiet.
“What is… oh… Lennon, is the wolf your mate?” asked a doctor who walked into the reception area.
Lennon had no time to figure out how to respond when the large wolf head nodded.
“Fine, I see.”
What did he see?
“Oh my god I’m dying!” Lennon blurted out, jumping to the only reasonable conclusion in his panic.
The wolf snarled at the doctor and pressed its large, shuddering body against Lennon, supporting him, its ruff like a hump on its back with how proud it stood up.
“No, no!” the man gasped, taking a step back from Kodi. “Let’s head into a clinic room and I’ll explain.”
“Yeah, let’s do that,” Jonny stated, his expression one of concern.
The room the doctor directed them into was the first door they came to and Lennon had to squish himself through it when the wolf refused to leave his side. It would be very endearing if Lennon wasn’t freaking out, still convinced there was something majorly wrong with him.
“Take a seat, Lennon. It seems there has been some confusion over why you’re here,” he stated when Lennon sank into the seat next to a large examination couch. Kodi was doing his best to squeeze between it and the chair, his bulk making it hard. Jonny took the other empty seat.
“I assumed that you knew you are pregnant?”
Pregnant.
His vision shimmered. A sudden wave of heat ran from his feet to his head. He blinked and everything moved at the following wave of dizziness. He went to stand, wanting some cool air, only his legs wouldn’t hold him. His eyelids fluttered closed as the room darkened then disappeared under an onslaught of buzzing in his ears.
“Christ, catch him. What’s… what’s wrong with him?”
“He’s fainted. Just lay him on the couch.”
“Kodi, back off, unless you want to shift and help?”
