Once His Luna, Now Her Own Alpha Novel – At eight months pregnant, I went alone to my private hospital for a prenatal checkup. Just as my number was called, a female werewolf shoved me hard. “Move it. What are you, blind? Who do you think you are, cutting in front of me?” I pulled out my appointment slip and tried to reason with her, but she slapped me across the face again and again.
“You’re standing in front of the richest man’s wife. Where does a broke bitch like you get the nerve to block my way?” Even the attending wolf doctor stood by and mocked me. “This whole hospital is owned by the Alpha. If his wife wants to crush you, it’d be like stepping on an ant.” I clenched my fists tightly. If I remembered correctly, the wealthiest man in the werewolf realm right now… was my husband.
Before I could even call him to confront this, the woman had already dialed. “Baby, there’s some shameless bitch here trying to cut in front of me and our baby. You better come deal with her.” “Who the hell would dare mess with my wife? You want to die or what? Just wait there, honey. I’m on my way.” Nathan’s voice came through the phone, and in that moment, my heart sank. I had planned to use this checkup as a chance to inspect the hospital.
I never expected to walk straight into Nathan’s dirty little secret. The woman ended the call and looked down at me with smug arrogance. “In the werewolf realm, no one’s ever dared stand in front of me. You’d better apologize right now, or you won’t live to see tomorrow.” The wolf doctor, who should’ve been treating patients, stood behind her and sneered. “You’d better be smart and apologize to Stella. Everyone knows she’s the Alpha’s favorite. Cross her, and you’re done.” I stared coldly at the female werewolf in front of me.
Her belly had a slight curve, probably four or five months along. She carried a limited edition Hermès bag and wore a massive diamond necklace around her neck, both of which looked painfully familiar. No wonder things had been disappearing from my dressing room and vanity lately. I thought there was a thief. Turns out, the thief lived under my roof. I took out my phone and texted my beta, Gavin. [Freeze all of Nathan’s cards and revoke his Alpha status immediately.] Just as the message was sent, Stella lunged forward, snatched my phone, and smashed it to the ground. “I’m talking to you.
Are you deaf or just pretending? I told you to apologize. Didn’t you hear me?” I stared at the shattered pieces of my phone, my expression darkening. “And what if I don’t?” As soon as the words left my mouth, a sharp smack landed on my cheek, stinging like fire. “That wasn’t a suggestion. I’m telling you.” “Coming to the hospital all by yourself, looking like that your man’s probably dead. And now you wanna cut in line? When my husband gets here, it’ll be the end of you.” I held my swollen, burning face, my eyes darkening. “When your husband gets here, he’ll find out real fast whose end it really is.” Stella’s face twisted with rage.
She grabbed a fistful of my hair and yanked it hard. “Still got an attitude?” “Stella, don’t waste your time on trash like her. Just have security throw her out. Tell the hospital to blacklist her, too. Make sure she never steps foot in any facility owned by Altamar Group ever again.” The young wolf doctor groveling beside Stella massaged her shoulders, his eyes filled with flattery. Pain shot through my scalp, but I forced myself to ignore it and glanced at her name tag. “I’ll remember you. I’ll be asking your hospital director what kind of standards they have, hiring someone like you to heal people.” I had personally appointed this hospital’s director.
The young wolf doctor’s gaze turned vicious. He raised his hand and slapped me again. “Who the hell do you think you are, demanding to see our director? Look at you, dressed like some charity case. You don’t belong anywhere near our leadership.” I was about to respond when a deep voice cut through the air behind us. “What the hell’s going on here?” The young wolf doctor’s eyes lit up. He turned and smirked at me. “Our director’s here. You’re screwed now. After today, not a single hospital in the werewolf realm will treat you. When your due date comes, you better figure out how to deliver that baby yourself.”
