Curses and Jealousy

We arrived at the pack hospital, it's not very big, but still a large building. Those in the pack come here for all sorts of care, from dentistry to check ups. I head to the clinic's side, which is similar to a human's EAR. 

Rhory walks away once I go inside, likely going to change or attend to other business. I really don't know if he is coming inside with me. 

A nurse approaches me, "Hey there Omega Elesi, my name is Violet. You can call me Vi if you like." She gives me quite the customer service smile, before looking around me curiously. "Didn't you come here with Rhory?" 

I can feel Vesper growl, clearly picking up that this female likes Rhory. "He escorted me as a wolf...so I don't know where he is now." I say politely. 

"Hrm." Violet seems disappointed, giving me a bit of a pout. "I was so excited to hear he was coming this way." She shakes her head before she leans close to me to whisper. "I believe he is going to be my mate. I have been trying to seduce that man for a few weeks now..." 

'He probably can smell the shit on you.' Vesper is very VERY upset. I can barely restrain her. I clench my fist a bit, trying to just act cool as a cucumber. "Really? That's nice. Uh Vi? I was sent to be seen by the clinic, but I really don't know why. I am fine..." 

I feel a hand on my shoulder, tensing at first before his scent relaxes me. "You will be seeing a Doctor to make sure there is no magic harming you, Elesi." He says in a cool manner, clearly concerned for me but...something feels strange.

Vi is now drooling at him, not able to hide the fact she is clearly into him - but he seems to be ignoring her. Maybe he is oblivious? Vesper chimes in, pulling my attention. 'He is not impressed with her. She might smell good, but her personality seems to be shit.'

"Let me get you a room, Omega Elesi." Vi is now being overly nice, ushering me into a room. "The doctor will be right with you."

As she pushes me into the room, she holds back Rhory - seeming to want to flirt with him. 

'Bitch.' Vesper growls as we are left alone in the examination room. 

I put my ear up the door, trying to listen to the conversation they are having. 

"Sooooooo Ro Ro." Vi giggles at him sweetly. "When are we going to go on another date? The last one was so wonderful." 

Rhory clears his throat, seeming to make his voice cold. "Violet. It is not professional to act like this while we are both working. You need to-" 

"Come on Ro Ro, don't be such a good boy." I can hear her coo at him. "We can have so much fun together. You smell so good. I know you can smell me too. I want you." 

"Violet." Rhory still seems to be holding his tone, as best as he can. "I am not ready to move as quickly as you'd like. I suggest you -" 

"Suggest nothing, Ro Ro. I like you A LOT. I am not going to just simply -"

'Pretend you are in pain. He needs our help!' Vesper barks at me, clearly wanting to get her away from Rhory. 

This was perhaps not the BEST idea, but I didn't want to hear this any more. I yelped in pain, falling onto the floor of the room. 

Rhory rushes inside, moving quickly to pull me up and put me on the examination table. "Elesi?!" He is worried, barking over at Vi. "GET THE DOCTOR NOW!" 

Violet's eyes widened as she rushed off, clearly panicking herself. 

"Elesi? Are you okay? Where does it hurt?" His tone is now softer as he talks to me. I hate that I have made him worry for a stupid reason. 

I open up my eyes to look at him in an apologetic manner, a soft whimper leaving my lips. "I am sorry..." 

"Sorry?" Rhory looks at me, clearly confused. 

"I-I could hear..." I look away embarrassed, letting out another whine. 

Rhory chuckles, unable to stop - almost crying. 

His reaction causes me to be caught off guard, looking at him. "You are not mad?"

It takes him a moment to calm himself, shaking his head. "No. Thanks for the help, but playing ill was probably not the best way." 

"You can punish Vesper. She told me to do it." I pout, and Vesper seems still pretty proud of herself. 

"I'll thank her later." Rhory gives me such a smile. 

'I like him.' Vesper says, her tail wagging happily with this male.

Violet rushes in with a Doctor, who is looking at me curiously. "This is the one that found the body?"

I nod, confused as to why I'd have anything wrong with me. 

"Did you touch it?" He asks, walking up to me and putting a hand on mine, gipping it tightly. 

"Yes...." His grip is tight, but I don't fight it - yet I feel a chill run up my arm. "What are you doing?" 

"Checking you for a curse." He says blunting, causing Rhory to 'behave like a warrior' as he stands there silently watching. 

"A curse? Like witchcraft? Why would-" I try to ask, but he cuts me off. 

"You are clean, which is lucky for you." The doctor's tone is harsh, letting out a bit of a snort before looking at Vi. "We have other patients to see." And with that they leave without a goodbye. 

"Well that was..." I trail off as I look at Rhory, him staring at me with this big grin. "What?"

"You know what." Rhory takes a few steps closer to me, moving to grab my hand. "Jealousy is cute on you."
