Chapter 116 - The Alpha’s Mark (1/2)

He stared at her. ”I am going to be doing a full body examination. In order for that to be done properly, you need to undress.”

He said slowly, as if speaking to a small child.

Meredith swallowed. There was no way she was going to undress in front of a stranger even though he was a doctor. She just felt uncomfortable doing that especially since they were alone.

”Is that absolutely necessary?”

”You don't have to remove your clothes if you don't want to. We can use a cloth to cover certain parts and only expose the part that I will be examining.” He said with a soft smile.

”Fine but we have to wait for Maria to come back.” Meredith said, not taking her eyes from the doctor.”

He nodded, ”Alright, princess. I can wait.”

Meredith nodded, ”please have a seat.”

Fifteen minutes later, Maria came and Meredith breathed a sigh of relief.

The silence in the room was driving her crazy.

Maria assisted her with a cloth. She used a cloth to covered Meredith's legs while she pushed her dress to the top exposing only her stomach to the doctor while lying on the couch.

After the doctor finished assessing her stomach, he withdrew his hand and gave her an encouraging smile.

”Everything is fine, princess. Are you experiencing discomfort anywhere that you want me to know?”

Meredith shook her head, ”No…I'm fine.”

The doctor nodded. ”I'm going to ask some questions, I know you're going to feel shy but please answer me honestly okay?” He said flatly.

”Alright.”

”Have you engaged in any sexual activities?”

Meredith blushed profusely at the question.

”Yes.”

”Did you use protection?”

Meredith swallowed the lump in her throat, ”No-not always.”

The doctor nodded, ”When was the last time you had period?”

Meredith stiffened and her eyes widened in shock , ”Don't tell me I'm pregnant?” She asked, her voice trembling.

The doctor chuckled, ”Why princess, you want to be a mother so soon?” The doctor teased.

”Ah-yes-no. Not with everything going on. I can't take care of a child right now and I'm not powerful enough to take care-” Meredith babbled.

”Relax princess. You're not pregnant.” The doctor interrupted her.

”Oh.” Meredith breathed a sigh of relief.

”I'm asking about this because having unprotected sex can lead to STIs and pregnancy. We have to be sure you're healthy right?”

”Alright.”

”Any discomfort when urinating….”

The doctor asked her a couple of questions and she answered all of them honestly.

”I am also going to take a sample of your blood to be tested for communicable disease or any other underlying illnesses you may have contracted while living among the humans.”

”With a needle?” Meredith raised her brows.

The doctor chuckled at her question. ”Yes Princess with a needle. Don't tell me you're afraid of needles.”

”No…I'm not. Just get it over with.” She said, squeezing her eyes shut.

”As you wish. Sit up, please.” The doctor ordered.

Meredith sat up, trying to act tough even though she was definitely afraid of needles. But she was sure the doctor might've noticed when the corners of his lips quirked upward.

He wrapped a tonique around her hand and told her to fist her hand.

After rubbing a foul smelling, clear liquid onto the back of her hand, he pulled two, long needles from his briefcase. Meredith felt her stomach fluttered as she stared at them.

”I thought you said you were not afraid of needles.”He asked, raising a brow.

”I'm not” Meredith lied.

”Hmm..” He mumbled.

”Alright then. On the the count of three.”

He held the point of the needle an inch away from
