can breathe…just one breath in, one breath
out…
The door to the clinic starts to open. Removing her hand, she stays close
to me.
The male entering, eyes to the floor, has a shaved head. He looks up, and our eyes meet; always the same, an intake of breath as he takes in mine. Completely open mouthed, he stares before he slightly shakes his head and whispers an
apology.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to stare. They are unusual.” He looks away with a slight pink to his cheeks.
“Dr. Valentine, this is the new midwife, Rya.” Now it’s my turn to be confused.
“Rya, nice to meet you.” He sticks his hand out to welcome me the human way.
“Dr. Valentine, nice to meet you.” Clasping his hand, I give it a quick shake before pulling away. I’m not in the habit of touching male wolves.
“Please, Rya, call me Dallas. We aren’t very formal here.” He looks at Aurora with a smile.
“Can I just ask, where is Dr. Peters?”
“Once I came and settled in, he decided it was time for him to retire. He’s been gone maybe a year. Is that a problem?”
His voice is quiet, but I can hear him well. A day’s growth on his face makes me think he might have had a late night, not wanting to shave this morning.
“No, I just wasn’t told that we had a new doctor in the pack.” It’s a little uncomfortable between us; I’m not sure why.
His eyes avoid mine, looking anywhere but my face. Putting on his white lab coat, he looks the doctor part except he’s young, only a few years older than me.
“Well, let’s get you started. I’ll show you to your office, to the birthing rooms.” He shows me around this small clinic. Yet everything in here is top of the line, the best money can buy. Everything is available that one might need to keep the
wolves alive.
Opening the door to the birthing rooms, I’m left speechless. Everything shiny and new, a big giant tub in the corner of each of the three rooms, bouncy balls, beds that turn into birthing chairs.
“This is amazing.” I can’t hide my excitement.
“The Alpha and Luna are very good with money, and they put a lot back into the pack.” He seems to be impressed with
those two wolves.
