Her heart thundered in her chest. Oh god, was she going blind? Had she had an aneurysm? Was she never going to be able to see Venice or Rome? Oh god, she’d never made it to Scotland.
“Here are your glasses,” the mysterious woman said before sliding them onto her face.
Alana blinked her into focus.
The woman checked her pulse before stepping away from her.
“It’s a good thing that I was just finishing up my shift. Diana was having a fit in the lobby and you were passed out on the floor. I had to give Diana a sedative to calm her nerves. My niece isn’t fit for the medical field. Anyways, how are you feeling?”
Alana swallowed. “My mouth is a little dry.”
“I gave you a mild sedative as well. Your heart was thundering in your chest. Do you have a history of heart problems in your family?”
“No. No, not at all.”
“So what were you doing here today?”
“I just came to see Dr. Nasri about a tetanus shot. I was…bit by a dog yesterday and I’d rather be safe than sorry.”
“I completely understand. Here, let’s have you sit up.”
Alana swung her legs over the edge of the bed and fisted her hands in the thin sheet as a bout of lightheadedness hit her. Her joints hurt. That was new. They hadn’t hurt when she woke up this morning. Maybe they hurt because she had hit the floor kind of hard.
“Hmm…still feeling lightheaded I see. We took a blood sample and sent it down to the lab for results so we should know something in a bit. I’m Dr. Vanderwall by the way.”
>Vanderwall, Vanderwall…the name sounded familiar but Alana couldn’t really focus on anything right now. She squeezed her eyes shut as the room seemed to spin around her. “I can’t say it’s a pleasure to meet you. I hate hospitals.”
The doctor laughed and then tilting her head tapped her cheek. “Well, you look a little better. Try to stand for me.”
Alana stood and ground seemed to rush up to meet her. Faster than she could blink Dr. Vanderwall, where had she heard that name, righted her and placed a steadying hand on her forehead before stepping back.
“Are you pregnant?”
“WHAT?!” Alana squawked. “That’s kind of a personal question. I mean, I know you’re a doctor but you’re not my doctor and I’m really not comfortable discussing this with you. Seriously,” she said as she leaned backward on the bed.
Dr. Vanderwall crossed her arms as she studied her than smiled. “Alright, well Dr. Nasri-“
“Is right here. Hello Alana. I guess I don’t need to ask how you’re feeling do I?”
Dr. Nasri stepped into the room and greeted Alana with a warm smile and gently clasped her hand. “I know how much you hate hospitals, I can barely get you in here for your annual checkup, and now I think I might have an even tougher time of it,” she said with a laugh.
Alana didn’t laugh because she had been thinking the same thing. She had been feeling better outside the hospital.
“Could you step outside for a moment Alana? I want to discuss another case with Dr. Vanderwall.”
“Sure.”
Alana stepped outside and rummaging around in her purse, grabbed her sanitizer, squeezed some into her palm then slathered it on the side of her face that had hit the ground. Then, just for good measure, she repeated the procedure on the other half of her face.
“We received her preliminary blood tests back.”
“Yes, and? This doesn’t really concern me Sophia. She’s your patient.”
“Yes, but what we found doesn’t affect just me.”
Dom sighed. She didn’t have time for word games. She still had to go and get her nails done for that society dinner Ethan had planned for tonight. After all these weeks of seeing or hearing nothing about Duncaine, Ethan was slowly relaxing his guard.
“I’m sure it doesn’t concern me either Sophia.”
“Yes Alpha, it does.”
Dr. Nasri stepped closer and whispered in her ear.
Alana was just about to get something out of the vending machine when the door to her room flew open and Dr. Vanderwall ran out.
“Dr.? Is everything-“
She didn’t even spare her a glance as she raced toward the elevator. Alana dimly heard a ding as Dr. Nasri called her back into the room.
“Now let’s discuss some medication that I can give you to…”

So her doctor is a Lycan too? Interesting… they seem to have established themselves well in the human society. Perhaps so they can more easily conceal themselves should anything be brought to public attention?
I had to laugh at Alana freaking out about the hospitals. The germs!! Such an Alana fear
[Reply]
Yes they have. While they still have pack mentality, even in human form, they still have the human side to them that most are comfortable with. And like you said…in something should be brought to public attention…who better to have help conceal you than doctors?!
LOL!! It is an Alana fear but it is so true! All those sick people in one place CAN’T be good!!
*wanders off to work on Ravensworth and tries to remember the last time I went to the doctor*
[Reply]
Alana is a trip! When she got snappy with that intern as she was falling, I LOLed.
Ok, so they know from her blood work that she is on the road to lycanthropy but do they have a way of knowing that Caine did it?
What kind of hospital is this where all of the doctors are beautiful women?? LOL
[Reply]
LOL!! I can really see home girl getting snappy! I LOLed when I was writing that part!
No, they don’t. They would have to have some of his blood work and draw a comparison. And while they MIGHT(okay they WOULD) be able to access his file from the institute it would be awhile before they even looked at that particular file as they went through the process of elimination. However scent wise…well, that’s coming up in the next chapter.
LOL!! I try to make not so pretty Sims but then I end up tweaking and…gah! One of these days I’m going to make an “ugly” Sim Pen! I promise! Haha!!
[Reply]
I read this last night, I and I swore I left a comment!!!
Anyway here I go again!!!
Poor Alana, her worst nightmare came true!!! (passing out on the hospital floor, yikes, imagine all the germs on that floor… tons and tons of people were standing in that same spot where she fell. and I wonder what kind of crap they had under their shoes… yikes and more yikes!!!
lol
I was very surprised to see Dominica over ther!!! I really hope they wont make the connection with Caine… and I really hope Alana wont be in danger!!!
She really is not a lucky lady, lol hopes her luck changes soon!
Great update!!
[Reply]
Hi. I love your pop culture references!
It’s funny how she thinks about Rome when she’s passing out…
oooo, nice ending. Maybe Alana turned into a lycan too? Then her and Caine can be together!! Oh, if only it was that easy, right?
[Reply]
Sandy you know Blogger eats comments some days! *shakes fist at Blogger*
LOL!! I know! Alana has no luck whatsoever unless it’s bad! You’d think I’d give her a break….but it’s too much fun messing with here!
Yeah, don’t you know Dom walked into the hospital on her own sooo…I used her! Haha!! Well…as for the connection…next chapter!
Thanks Sandy!
[Reply]
LOL!! Thanks Nora! And wouldn’t you know it? Michael Jackson is in the news again!
Those were just some places that I want to see before I die! LOL!
Yeah, if only! It’ll never be that easy for those two! Issues galore!
I’m glad you liked the ending!
[Reply]
I LOVE the cute wolfies as they are running with their tongues hanging out!
So adorable!
Anyway, this part was so humorous, all her fear of the germs and the panicked intern! LOL. Love that sequence where she is falling down on the floor, you always pick the best poses!
And uh oh, whatever they found out about her blood isn’t good! So glad you are banging these out, I love this story!
[Reply]
LOL!! They ALL do that! I wanted some running poses were she looked kinda serious but nooo…haha!! It's so cute!
Thanks Emily! That's the Hula&More hack for that one! The dying by illness! An oldie but a goodie!
Awww…thanks Emily! I have the next three updates pictured out. Just have to write them!
Glad I'm not being annoying with how fast these come out!
[Reply]
Oh dear, I’m not so sure Alana was made for any sort of adventures that this might be leading towards…
[Reply]
Interesting turn of events, love all the destinations racing through her head that she has never been, nice touch!
Well, this complicates things for sure, is she turning, or just has the blood on her now?
Nice twist with the Doctors being Lycans, well written, enjoyable, look forward to more!
[Reply]
Oh boy! Don’t I know it goodbye_sun! Although you never know yourself until your put in a touch spot! She might surprise herself!
Thanks for reading!
[Reply]
Thanks Karen!
Yes, it is a complication. Poor Alana, all she wanted was to get in and get out.
I figured they’d blend in with society. You never know if the person you’re talking to is what she/he appears!
I’m glad you’re liking this so far Karen!
[Reply]
Why oh why are all of Alana’s adventures so funny? I’m sure she doesn’t feel that way however. That entire scene in the hospital was hilarious.
The bad thing is that she is in for some danger I think. Alana has no idea what is in store for her. I am fascinated to see what they discovered in her blood! My guess is some link to Caine but you never know…
Well done Phoenix!
[Reply]
I don’t know! That girl just cracks me up! I can’t help but write it that way!
And I’m sure she’s freaking traumatize by the whole thing…but especially the germs! 
She is in for some danger. But I think Alana can handle it…she just has to dig deep! *PLEASE let Alana handle it!* LOL!
Thanks Gayl!

Ooh, oooh! I’m loving the duality of the werewolves here. Their human sides and wolf sides each have their places. I’m sure the wolf side always takes precedence, but being doctors and whatever else… very cool.
Loved the shots of Dominica running out of the building! I’m assuming they found something about Caine?

Thanks Mao! And you got it. The wolf is laying just below the surface. It doesn’t take much for it come out.
Thanks! I had a time with those shots. Rooftops are NOT great for OMSP!
