“I will tell you when you are better.”He patted her wrist.
She huffed, found a video of an aquarium, watched the fish swim slowly, and nodded off again.
A slight tapping at her wrist got her attention, and she jolted.“Oh, hey, Doc.”
The dark elf in the lab coat smiled.“So, you can see through our glamours.”
“What glamours?I have always lived in a world with elves around, light and dark.”She smiled, “And other things.”
“What other things?”
“If you can’t see them, it doesn’t matter.”She smirked.
He paused.“You can see the enhanced alphas, can’t you?”
“Yes, and the betas.And hidden omegas.They are all very clear to my senses.”
“You do realize that you could have made a lot of money with the Omega Centre?”
“I would never turn someone in if they didn’t want to spend the rest of their lives as a fuck toy, and having lived in just such a pack, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.”
He frowned.“It isn’t always like that.”
“I know, but to put a target on some poor woman who is then sold to the highest bidder when I can see that her would-be mates are monsters...I couldn’t live with that.”
The doctor paused.“That would be horrible.I can see your point.”
“Yup.Imagine your wife being handed over to the Elite because someone like me spotted her on the street and called a hotline for a bounty.”
The doctor’s eyes went wide.“Oh, gods.Right.I see your point.”
“I don’t want to do that to people, so I won’t.”
He nodded.“Right, now do you have any questions about the surgery?”
“You repaired torn vessels, removed blood clots, and closed the holes in the muscle and surrounding tissue so that I don’t end up with a weird hernia pattern.”
He smiled.“That is succinct, but yes.Your skin is remarkably tough, by the way.”
“I know.It’s why they were so comfortable escalating their attacks.The pressure that it takes to bruise me would break bones on someone in the normal range.I didn’t realize that it was a special thing that wasn’t common.”
“It isn’t common.Ah, so your conversations are now pointing out your differences.”
“Yup.”
He smiled.“May I check the laparoscopic sites?”
“Sure.”
The bedding was pulled up to her navel, and her gown was scooted up just below her breasts.He prodded at the incision sites, smiled, and said, “I will be right back.”He flipped her gown down and left the room.
