Doubts

Dr Boyce POV

It's been two days since Tina rushed here to the pack hospital with an unconscious Summer in her hands.

 It was a very peaceful morning and I was just sitting in my office admiring the lush green scenery of the forest behind the hospital.

 It soothes me. It gives me a certain unexplainable peace and tranquility. 

It was then that Tina rushed in. I quickly switched to my doctor mode. As werewolves our job is not difficult. Usually we heal easily. It's in very extreme cases where we really need the intervention of a doctor. Only if it's damage inflicted by silver, wolfsbane or a spell from the dark witches. Of which the latter is not even possible since all the witches were completely wiped out into extinction in the last great war. We only know of witches, wizards and warlocks from the folklores. We don't know whether it's even true.

 

Anyway, I checked on warrior Levi's daughter and I must say I was a little taken aback.? The injury she had and the reason why she had it were really not tallying. Her mother claimed that she slipped and fell down the stairs and hit her head on the floor. But upon close examination, though the wound on her head was almost healed completely, it seemed like she hit or was hit by something.

 At first I thought it was baseball bat but I ruled that out. I think maybe the corner of a table?? Maybe I'm not quite sure. I've treated Summer once when she had a bout of nausea. Which we concluded to be food poisoning. Her mother then said she is allergic to seafood. But she'd eaten it anyway. That time I'm sure she was fourteen. We wanted to run tests and really pinpoint the cause but Tina insisted that it was nothing.

 When she was brought in they'd said it was almost 24 hours since she'd started. Warrior Levi had just returned from a mission and found her passed out on the porch. 

Tina said she'd left for the tea party at the pack house but had left her well.? She'd thought that she's coming down with a cold!!

 Honestly!? We are werewolves for crying out loud!! Coming down with a cold my foot!!

 But when I tried to object and point out a few inconsistencies in the story, warrior Levi put his foot down. I was just a rookie then. I had also just joined the Luminous Pack after our family had been banished by our then alpha. He had set his eyes on my little sister and my dad had refused. Anyway that's a story for another day. I must say at that time I had an inkling of doubt about the so called allergy.

 Maybe because I was new I saw that Tina was mostly quite pretentious. Call it intuition or a gift of discernment Hahaha. But I've been suspicious of her for a long time. Now this so called accidental fall has even enhanced my doubts.

 Why would she still be unconscious even after she's completely healed? And on two different occasions I saw Tina doing funny gestures with here hands whilst muttering words I've not heard before. She had sworn to stay by Summer's side but I've not seen her near Summer. I have decided to feign ignorance so as to put her at ease but even my wolf Bob has been sharing the same sentiments with me.

 I asked him if he knows something but he says it's intuition. And since Summer came to the hospital, we both agree that it seems as if our senses have been enhanced.. It's like we have an ability to see through things. Well, I really can't explain it but my doubts about Tina's intensions have intensified.

 I feel drawn to Summer. At first I thought that she was my mate but Bob said no. The feeling we have is not the mate bond. It's just an overwhelming need to be close to her and protect her. If it was the mate bond it would also arouse in us a sexual desire. Since this does not include the sexual urges, it's not a mate bond. It's like I feel the need to submit. I brushed it off because I already know they are of alpha blood. 

Another really baffling thing is when Alpha Luke came to see her yesterday, I peeped and saw him in a trance like condition. As if he was no longer in the same time zone as us. I hid myself observing from the sidelines. I saw Tina walk in and tried to go nearer the hospital bed. She yelped like a hurt puppy and jumped to the side. 

When Alpha Luke came to, he looked confused and distant with Tina. Well, that was odd. When I told my father, my mother interrupted and said something about a folktale her great grandma used to tell her. About the reincarnation of Her. Huh? Her?

She then lashed out on us saying she knows not any other name. Even the forefathers used to call her that. Her whose name cannot be trifled with. Sigh. 

I walk in to check on my patient and what happens to me just left me with my jaws right on the floor. How? 

When did Summer acquire such abilities? 

So this feeling of wanting to draw near to her is because she's reaching out? 

How has she made it so that I feel like I've time travelled.?

 How has she brought me to this medieval era?

 What is this am seeing?

 How come I can see Summer in this era.

 She looks just as she does now but she's leading a whole army of people with oppressive auras. I rub my eyes. Squeeze them shut and opened again then she looks at me then she spoke in what I presume to be spanish. 

"Elijo revelar la verdad." 

"Tus ojos siempre han estado abiertos y no te pueden engañar."

(I chose to reveal the truth. Your eyes have always been open and you can't be fooled.) 

What. !? "Bob can you hear and see this??" 

I try to ask my wolf and he instantly growls at me in a commanding voice.

 "Boy, shut up and bow this instance!!!!"

 Hello. That's a first. Instead of arguing I find myself kneeling with my head bowed. My lips move on their own accord and my voice projects itself.

 " At your service your Highness."

 In a thick accent but very gentle and soothing voice almost like a whisper, 

"Rise my child. All thou art hast seen thou shalt not speak of. 

Thou shalt lock it in the depth of thy heart. 

Thy heart is clean and thy judgement unbiased. 

Go back therefore and be vigilant. I shall summon thee when the time is right!"

 I bow deeply and instantly find myself back in the hospital room. I look at Summer and she's not showing signs of waking up. I find myself bowing at her and instantly self reprimand.

 I begin to ponder at all the events and am awed. Something is happening. There's a stirring in the spirit and an undisputed urgency to be vigilant in my heart. Am more than ready to embark on this journey and see where it leads...
