“Sure.”
The doctor handed her the gown and nodded. “I will be back in a few minutes. Call if you need anything. We will hear you.”
“Thanks.”
The doctor left, and Renner unsnapped her cuffs and unbuttoned her shirt. She stripped to the skin and got into the soft burgundy gown and the dark blue robe. Spying the machine, she hopped onto the bed and looked at her phone. There was a text, and she looked at it.
We are on the way. See you soon.
She looked at the number and groaned. “Why did it have to be them?”
Do you have an ETA?
We are in the lot and on our way in.
She didn’t respond to that. She felt herself blushing, and they weren’t even in the room. Her mind was already sorting her alphas. Mateo and Owen for sex, Thanatos for support and security, and Armand for adventure. She was pretty sure that that balance would shift from time to time, but right now, that is where she had filed them.
She chatted with Rhymbia when her boss told her she was just looking at fabric swatches for the baby room and showed her images of the swatches. Renner used Rhymbia’s colour sense and picked out a few swatches that would go well with both the expected son and any child who came afterward.
There was a knock on the door. “Ms. Renner? Your alpha is here.” The female voice wasn’t familiar.
“Only an alpha?”
“Uh, yes, miss.”
“He can wait in the waiting room.”
The door banged open, and the man from the elevator roared through. “You are paid for, bitch.”
He moved toward her, and she shifted to Albert, punching him hard in the belly, kneeing him in the face, and then slamming her fists into his head over and over again. Owen’s voice came to her, “Persephone, it’s okay. You got him. Security is here, and the police are on the way.”
Mateo pulled her away from her target. And he wrapped his arms around her. He murmured, “No one but us saw the shift. If you are Persephone when the rest come in, it would be easier.”
She shrank down to herself and looked at the bloody mess on the ground. Owen came in and got some paper towels to clean her face. “You did great, sweetheart.”
Mateo took out his phone and took photos of her hands. “Did he hurt you?”
“I didn’t let him.” She looked up at him. “If you are worried about my cause, he called me by name and broke in the door while I was waiting for a gynecological exam in a smock. He wasn’t invited in, and he had a woman’s voice. I can’t really throw stones there.”
She was shaking, and Mateo smoothed her hair while Owen wrapped her hands in wet towels. Dr. Oriel was on the other side of the police and said, “Persephone, are you all right?”
Renner shrugged. “My hands hurt, and I am shaking, but he didn’t manage to grab me.”
The alpha doctor pushed past the men hauling the bloody man out of the exam room. The officer said, “We are going to need to talk to you, miss.”
She looked at him and let tears fall. “I was so scared...”
The police officer looked like he wanted to comfort her, but Mateo turned her and held her.
Dr. Oriel blinked. “You are her alpha?”
“Not yet, but we are two of four. We are still in the early stages.”
“Well, she seems to trust you.”
“I can still hear you, doc.”
“We are going to move to exam room three,” Dr. Oriel said.
