~Knox~
Closing the door, I take in a much needed intake of air...holding my breath had been the only way to control myself in such close proximity to the alpha's daughter.
Jaxon and Jace hadn't mentioned a sister...
From the moment she walked into their house this morning, all I can think about is the fiery red head.
My hands remain tightly clasped around the door handle, as figures rush past me...the alarms loudly sounding and flashing lights putting me on edge. This pack hadn't been attacked in years, so why now. The hospital was large, one of the biggest I have ever seen in a pack..not that I visited many packs. This was the first time in a long time, I had returned from alpha training with some of my own students.
I prepare to check in on Alpha Hector when my hand that was still tightly gripped around the door handle of the storage cupboard is pulled, the door swinging open and my body moving with it.
The fiery red head rolling her eyes at me as I collide into her.
"It's just a routine exercise. Move!" She orders at me, her feistiness doing nothing to quell that rising fire igniting within me. Her blatant disregard for my orders angering me in a way I hadn't felt in years. No one disregarded my orders. "Look Princess, when I give orders I expect them to be followed."
"Princess? You've got your wires crossed handsome!" She tuts at me, before barging past me and joining the figures running down the corridor. I follow her to find her communicating with a doctor, Alpha Hector also there, watching his daughter intently. She seems to have no issues following the doctor's orders as she is sent out of the ward.
Bloody typical.
"Knox, this is Doctor Abel...he runs the physiotherapy department here. Abel, Knox is the Head of the alpha training programme the lads have just returned from." Alpha Hector introduces me.
"Nice to meet you..." The doctor places his hand out for me to shake, which I do more out of politeness than anything.
The fact that she followed his order so easily has pissed me off greater than I could have imagined... What was going on with me.
"How did the alphas get on?" Doctor Abel looks to me with interest, his shoulders held high but his eyes struggle to keep mine.
"Top of their class, Alpha Jaxon in particular has broken all records set by those before him." I respond, my eyes darting around the ward as it scans for information. Something seemed off about this male, from the way he ordered the alpha's daughter to the way he is trying to come across as non threatening....maybe I'm used to the alpha bloods... the born leaders rather than the healers.novelbin
"You don't seem very busy in here for a routine drill?" I glance down the corridor to find medical staff continuing to run chaotically as if their lives depended on it. Yet this ward was still, no madness...only two males were laid up in a bed. I could see they were bandaged up with the same cloth that the red head was preparing...had she touched them. Had her hands been on their skin....
A flash of anger hits me from my wolf before I am able to push it back down.
"If this were a real emergency, believe me we would be helping during the first wave of injuries, that's where Josie is now."
"How is she getting on?" Alpha Hector asks with enthusiasm.
"She has a gift for natural remedies, seems to be a strength of hers. It's just trying to convince the other doctors of the benefits of alternative medicine side of things."
"I can have a word.."
"No Alpha, that's not necessary. Josie is strong minded, she'll turn them around. I have no doubt."
