Minoru’s voice sounded above the doctor’s. “Polly, come.”
She stood up, the doctor stood, and she eased past him and into the hallway. She took her alpha’s hand, and he tucked her against him and walked her out of the medical centre.
He rubbed her back, and she frowned. She sniffed and scowled as they descended in the elevator. Her pendant wasn’t responding to him either. She muttered, “I hate those exams,” in her broken voice. He looked surprised. The moment that they made it outside, she screamed and used her black claws to open his forearms. “You are not Minoru.”
He chuckled, and his face shifted. “Now, Polly. My omega has been sad without a baby. You can give that to us.”
A familiar black vehicle stopped near her, and Minoru exited. He saw the man, and he roared with fury. He caught the man across the neck with his claws, and the spray of blood covered the sidewalk.
Medical staff from the centre came out while Minoru checked on Polly. He patted her and asked, “Are you all right?”
“He’s one of Molly’s. One of the Silar pack. He’s a shapeshifter named Dennis.”
He held her tight against him, and she buried her face against his chest. They had to wait for law enforcement. The cut across Dennis’s neck could be fatal.
They had to wait.
Minoru tucked her into the car and hovered over her protectively while the officers and his lawyer spoke to each other. Minoru’s lawyer was fast. He had arrived before the emergency responders and had spoken to her softly. She had told him about what had happened with the fake being in the medical offices. He nodded and smiled at her then went to search for the man’s phone.
“Gerald is very good at what he does.”
“Where’s he going?”
“Someone sent the alpha a message when we entered the centre. It will be on his phone, and we can find out who was bribed to send the message.”
She mumbled, “I just want to go home.”
“It will take time. I am glad you used your claws.”
She smiled. “Me, too.”
He played with her fingers and looked at the black nails. He kissed the back of both her hands.
An officer came by and smiled at her. “How did you know he wasn’t your alpha?”
“He was surprised by my voice, didn’t smell right, was rubbing my back wrong, and was holding me to him on the wrong side.” She didn’t mention the pendant. She had given them enough.
“What did you cut him with?”
She had been sitting with her fingers curled up after the kisses, then she rolled her fingers straight. “The claws are new.”
The officer took photos of her hands.
Minoru showed his nails, and the photo was taken. “I used it on his throat.”
She edged closer to Minoru, and the officer frowned. “Is she all right?”
“She’s going into heat. That is why they tried to snatch her. They want my fiancée as a breeder for their pack. She does not wish to do so.”
Polly shook her head violently. “I don’t want to stop being a person.”
The officer taking notes flexed his neck, and she saw a column of grey move across his skin. She chuckled.
He looked at her with soft grey eyes. “Was there something funny?”
“I have a friend who does that with her neck, and there is a grey flash, too.”
He fixed her with a piercing gaze. “A male friend?”
