Chapter Three
30 or 40 minutes had gone past since the woman came to visit me. I had time to digest what was going on, and since my headache had subsided, I was able to think clearly now. But I still had no idea where I was, or what I was doing here for that matter. If it was the Alpha Trials then I didn’t know what to expect, not only had I never properly listened to anyone speak about them but anyone who was taken never said anything when they came back. Perhaps this was just a medical experiment.
“This one?” Voices echoed outside my door, and I stood up gently, my legs still wobbly from whatever they had used to get me to pass out. I was just lucky that I had worn a long sleeved top and pyjama bottoms, I didn’t need to feel more vulnerable than I already was. “Alright, I’ll go in and get her.”
A male voice echoed outside before the door was unlocked and opened again, the familiar light flooding into the room behind him. Instead of being dressed all in black, he wore a doctor's apron and his face was uncovered. He smiled at me and closed the door behind him. “Isabella, is it?” My head nodded and he pulled out scrubs from under his arm. “Hello, I’ll be doing the medical examination on you today. I’m doctor Scott, could I please ask you to change into these at once?”
I took them from him and nodded, happy that at least someone here was being nice, even if it was a scary place. “Do I just change here?”
“Yes. Don’t worry about me, the examination is quite thorough, so I’ll be seeing quite a lot of you.” My heart dropped at his words and I wanted to cry. I felt so vulnerable and alone, nobody had ever seen me naked before—only myself—and now to have this strange man see me felt illegal, but he said it was medical, so I’d just have to believe him.
I started stripping off while he made small talk about my interests and things that I liked to do at home. Reading, I told him. I loved to read. I was studying to become a teacher at the school. I pulled the scrubs over my legs and bum, and then up onto my top half. It was just a nightgown, I told myself.
“That’s perfect, thank you” He seemed professional, so maybe there was nothing to worry about. He took my old pyjamas and tossed them into the rubbish bin that was in the corner of the room before opening the door back up and ushering me out. “We can make our way to the examination room now” I tentatively followed him down a long corridor lined with doors, it seemed that I wasn’t the only person that was here, which somehow put me at ease. We arrived at a small room that contained a leather seat with stirrups and straps attached to it and a computer with a chair at it, my stomach churned in circles.
“Up you pop” Doctor Scott closed the door behind us and turned on the giant light that homed down on the leather chair. I jumped up onto it, feeling the cold seat on my bare cheeks—trust me to wear a thong and not full underwear.
“What are you going to do?” I think he could see that I was shaking slightly because he chuckled, sitting down at the computer and turning it on.
“Don’t worry, they're just some routine tests to evaluate your intimate health and to see if you would be a good candidate for the Luna. It’s something that every female goes through. 99% of the time, everything comes back normal and you get to go home with no issues.” His fingers clacked on the keyboard as he spoke.
“What about the Luna thing?” I shuffled on the chair anxiously.
“Oh, it will be no issue for you. As you know, Alpha Theo has been looking for his mate for many years now, so when he does find her, we want to make sure she’s in good health to bare his pups as it’s her duty to the pack. But that won’t happen to you, it’s just a precaution” I nodded at him as he spoke.
“Okay...” I breathed out and lay back on the chair, waiting for him to start.
He wheeled over to me and pressed a button that lay the bed out flat. The room was colder than the rest of the place and I could feel my hard nipples poking through the scrubs, but I imagined he got that a lot.
“I’m going to ask you a few basic questions to start off, and then we will move into more specific ones, is that alright?” He towered over me and I nodded at him, staring at the ceiling trying not to think about what was going on. “How’s your health normally?”
“Good.”
“Any issues with anything?”
“No.”
“Alright” He scribbled something down on the paper next to him and moved onto the next question. “Do you drink alcohol or smoke?”
“No. Never have and never will.”
“Good. Who do you live with at home?”
“My father” I spoke to the ceiling. “My mother died, so it’s just me and him”
“Sorry to hear that” His finger clicked furiously on the mouse. “That’s all of the general heath questions, your health band is working well, so we can see from that your heart rate and blood pressure is all normal” His eyes scanned the screen. “Alright, now onto the sexual heath questions”
I coughed anxiously and wriggled about in the chair. “Sexual health?”
“Yes. Nothing to worry about, we don’t judge here. Your answers won’t be shared anywhere so please answer honestly” I nodded at him and he continued. “Are you sexually active?”
“No.”
“Have you ever been?”
“No.”
“A virgin, very good. That’s always preferred.” It sounded almost like he was getting me ready for human trafficking. “Do you masturbate?”
I almost jumped off the bed in embarrassment. “Um…yes.”
“Nothing wrong with that” He smiled at me before continuing with his questions. “When you do, do you have a hard time coming to orgasm?”
I wanted to ask why he needed to know, but I’d rather these questions were over and done with quickly. “Yes”
“Okay, it’s also important that I know if you’ve ever inserted anything inside yourself for pleasure, this lets me know if I need to do a swab to test for bacteria present inside the vaginal canal”
“No, they’ll be no need for that” He finished typing on the computer and turned to me.
“Very well then. That’s the medical examination over now, you can relax” He placed a comforting hand on my arm and chuckled. I went to sit up but he stopped me. “Just lie here just now, someone will be with you soon to take you to the next stage”
I nodded at him and lay back down, pulling my gown down slightly to cover me more. “Okay” He said goodbye and got up from the chair, taking his clipboard and leaving the computer humming next to me, and leaving me half naked, alone in a room yet again.
No more than five minutes later the door opened again and I half expected to see Doctor Scott but instead a muscular man with the same black mask that the first woman wore, stalked over to me. He was wearing a black tight t-shirt, showing off his tanned and tatted biceps, and tight jeans that hugged his muscular thighs. I couldn’t see his face but his curly dark hair poked through the top of the mask. If it weren’t for the situation, I would've found this man attractive, but he was just another one of the Alpha’s guards, here to take me somewhere I didn’t want to be.
“Hello Isabella” He purred into my ear, making me move away from him uncomfortably. “Where are you going? Hmm?” I tried to jump off the table but he grabbed both of my arms and strapped them to the chair tightly with a menacing laugh. “Awe, you look so helpless”
“Stop it you jackass” I tried to wriggle out of the binds but it was no use. “Who are you?” This wasn’t the way the Alpha’s guards would act.
He leant down and positioned himself above me, his dark brown eyes staring into my own, the weight of his arms tipping the bed down slightly. Then he moved close to the side of my head, right beside my ear. “I’m your worst nightmare sweetheart”
