Chapter Two
Dex was in her veryprivate room with the nurses coming in and out.She checked her insurance, and while it paid for the emergency surgery, she was racking up a bill for the private room.
She spoke to the nurse who removed the catheter.“Is there a way to get me out of here?”
The nurse tidied everything up and smiled.“You have at least one more day here.”
“Fine.Can you send up the hospital’s financial officer to speak with me?I can’t afford this room.”
“Your alpha will take care of it.”
Dex brought her legs together and turned her hips left and right.“I don’t have an alpha.”
“A pack then?”
“Nope.Dr.Aquilar sent me up here because he just found out I was an omega.I am guessing that the trip up here is to keep me stable, but it is just agitating as hell.”
“Breakfast is coming.I will speak to the financial department and have a rep sent up here.”
“Thanks.”
The breakfast was a combination of juices and smoothies, and by the time she was through her tray, someone new was at her door.The female alpha smiled.“Hello.Are you Dex?”
“If I say no, will it get me out of an internal exam?”
The doctor laughed.“So, I am in the right place.”
“If you are in the right place from that distance, I have been woefully misinformed about OB-GYNs.”
The woman snorted and walked over to her.“How tall are you, Dex?”
“Five-eight.Five-ten?I don’t know.I haven’t changed my driver’s license since I was sixteen.”
“Wow.Okay.You were right.I do need to do an internal exam and an ultrasound.Dr.Aquilar was certain that you had been deliberately stunted.”
“Probably.”
The exam was about as pleasant as she expected.When she had her blanket over her legs again, the doctor was looking at the results on the printouts.
“Well, you are definitely an omega, and everything is fine.No intervention required.”
“Cool, how do I get suppressors?”
The doctor froze.“You have been on suppressors?”
“Sure.Every hormone spike, I start them and run them for six days or until the hormones drop, and then I wait until the next one.Six months apart like clockwork.”
“Wait.So, you have never had a heat?”
Dex shrugged.“According to my father, who punched me in my face and ruptured my spleen and appendix, only boys should be omegas.He was fixed in his ideas.”
