CHAPTER 81:

  The wooden doors opened to the waiting room, all heads turning to the nurse that stood there. She froze for a moment, a deer caught in headlights. Then, she coughed, studying her clipboard.

  "Raleigh Rivercrest?" She called.

  With shaky legs, Raleigh stood. I followed closely behind, observing their interactions. The nurse smiled at Raleigh as if she were looking down at a child.

  "Hello, Raleigh. My name is Emily. I'll be your nurse today," Emily greeted.

  Raleigh swayed shyly, clutching her hands together. "Nice to meet you," She mumbled.

  Emily laughed softly, bowing to me. "Alpha King," She acknowledged.

  I nodded at her, not wanting to say more. Caspian was no longer in my head, probably calming Lune down. Raleigh's eyes had been flickering mercilessly as soon as the nurse called her name, and we both knew how much vertigo she got when that happened.
