Sapphire reminded herself sternly. “I haven’t seen one in a while. It's also good to know where he might be. You know I’m trying to familiarize myself with the inner workings of the pack.” Sapphire thought the half truth sounded good enough to satisfy Christopher.
     
    The Beta smiled at her like he didn’t believe a word of it.
     
    “So that’s up with you and Jas--” Sapphire began, but was cut off.
     
    “We're here.” Christopher practically ran to the cottage.
     
    Sapphire ran to catch up with him. She might have become more practical about thinking things through but she was still herself. If Christopher thought a little evasiveness would shut her up, he had another thing coming.
     
    Pack matters that pertained to any of the women were her field. He couldn’t just fuck and run with Jasmine. Well, not if he wanted to keep his dick. But just on the heels of her outrage was the cool voice of reason she’d recently found.
     
    Let them work it out. It’s not your place to interfere. Grimacing, Sapphire let her emotions go down to a low simmer. Of course she was right, even as she hated to admit it. What Christopher and Jasmine had going on was their business, not hers.
     
    Biting her lip to keep from saying something that she might later regret, Sapphire waited for the door to open. And when it did a impeccably dressed male in a white lab coat, green turtle neck sweater and faded black jeans answered the door. If Sapphire hadn’t been completely devoted and mated to Sin, she might have gone for Mr. Sexy Doctor.
     
    “Madam Alpha.” The doctor said smoothly, motioning for her to come in. “Please come in.”
     
    Sapphire stepped past the threshold and spun sharply to face Christopher. “I’ll take it from here. Just go work out whatever it is you need to work out with Jasmine and tell Sin where I am.” The words slipped out of her mouth before she could stop herself.
     
    Christopher narrowed his eyes at her, but wisely kept his lips shut. If Sapphire had wanted to, she could have looked in his mind to find out why he looked like he was going to kill her. But she felt that wouldn't be the wisest decision to make right now.
     
    “Of course, Madam Alpha.” He gave her a curt nod and turned on his heel to stride away.
     
    Sapphire turned away from the door. Too busy dealing with her own issues to worry about someone else's. Yet even while she thought it, she knew it was a lie. No matter what was going on in her life, she’d drop everything to help out her brother, and now, her pack.
     
    “I’m Dr. Kayson, Madam Alpha. What can I help you with today?” The doctor asked polite as he ushered her further into the room and indicated a chair she could sit on. She chose to stand and pace instead.
     
    Skipping the pleasantries, she got down to business. “I think I’m pregnant but I want to be sure before I tell anyone.”
     
    The confused and stunned look on the doctor’s face made Sapphire bite her lip. She probably could’ve softened her delivery, but it was now out in the universe. A situation she had to deal with.
     
    The thought of being pregnant had initially freaked her out, not to say that she wasn’t still freaked, but the shock was beginning to wear off. It wasn’t as if she should really be surprised if she was pregnant, though the quickness of it didn’t leave her with a warm fuzzy feeling. But she was a wolf, could turn into one with just a thought. Having pregnancy symptoms this early, really shouldn’t freak her out in lieu of everything.
     
    “Not a problem, we can do a test right now.” Kayson said.
     
    He began to move around the office, digging in draws and pulling various equipment out. Sapphire gulped down a ball of fear. She’d never been a huge fan of doctors. The whole needle thing reminded Sapphire of a vampire sucking her blood.
     
    Kayson sensed her discomfort and smiled reassuringly. Opening another drawer, he found whatever it was he’d been looking
