The Healer Chapter 19
Tori POV I sat there opposite Rick, holding his hand as he bowed down trying to hide the tears in his eyes. For many years I have struggled with the thought of who and where my real father was. Wondering if he missed me or was he even looking for me. I asked my mother a few times about him, and got nothing but anger and attitude from her, but no answers. If I wanted to find him and know him, I was on my own. After many years of my internal battle against curiosity and fear, curiosity won and I started actively looking for him. I knew where I was born and lived for the first four years of my life. So that is where my search began. Of course, it’s not easy looking for an Alpha werewolf without spilling the secret to the humans. Not as easy as it sounds. I all but gave up when I graduated high school and chose nursing as my career. First year at school, I was sharing a dorm room with an overactive, extremely spunky girl with long brown hair and sharp hazel eyes. She was v

Tori POV I grab onto Victor’s arm as I scan the angry crowd around me. They continue to stare at me with contempt and distrust in their eyes. Victor is shouting to them to stand back, but no one listens. I am pulled from Victor and thrown to the ground. I look up at my assailant and see angry eyes peering back at me. He raises his hand as if to strike me when I hear a tremendous roar that shakes the ground. “Enough! Stand down, now!” Everything is dead quiet except for the pounding footsteps I hear coming closer. “How dare you attack her!” I see Rick stand before me as he glares at his people. Everyone has their head bowed. He reaches down to grab my hand while still eyeing the crowd. “Are you hurt?” He looks me over for any signs of injury. “No, I’m fine Alpha.” I brush the grass of my pants and stand behind Victor while Rick addresses the angry mob. I could hear low growls coming from Rick and I instinctively latch onto
The Healer Chapter 21
Tori POV “Oh Victor. I don’t know what to say. I never knew that’s what he thought. My mother always told me that he thought I was just a brat who was always in the way. And that he wanted me gone.” I heard a rumble behind me and spun around to find my father standing behind me with black eyes and the most evil look on his face. “What did you just say?” I quickly stood, startled by the sharpness of his, Victor even stood and lowered his head at the Alpha. “Rick, please calm down. I... “ “Merrick is not here” he said, and I felt my heart race in fear at the sound of his voice. “Alpha Apache… please listen to Tori…“ Victor quietly stated with his head still bowed. “Victoria. My pup” He took a step closer and put his hand on my face to caress my cheek. “It has been a long time.” I smiled up at my father’s wolf. I remember Apache was an old soul that was strict and rough around the edges, not q

Tori POVI stood staring at Victor, my mind reeling from what he just said.“W-what?” He smiled showing his pearly white teeth and kissed my knuckles again.Suddenly, he wraps his hands around my waist and pulls me to his hard body. I slide my hands down to his shoulders and tilt my head back so I could see him. I wait for him to say something. Without a word, his gaze traveled over my face and searched my eyes for any disapproval. My mind wondered off to thoughts I should not have. I could not deny the spark of excitement at the prospect of more than just his touch. The sweet intoxicating musk of his body was overwhelming me. I felt his hand travel up my backside and his fingers laced themselves in my hair. I could feel the blush of my cheeks as his breath fanned over my face. He leaned down slowly until his lips brushed against mine. So soft, so tender, so gentle. “Victor” With that, he smashed his lips against mine until the calmness of our minds wa

Victor POV “What the hell man! What were you thinking?” I yelled at myself as I high-tailed it back to the pack house. She was in my arms and I was in hers. I could feel her emotions were all over the place, but she was happy and excited to be with me. As our kiss became more heated and frantic, her hands began to roam my body as did mine. Her warm, soft skin felt amazing under my touch. I could hear her heart rate increase and her breathing turned to panting in only minutes. As we got lost in our inhibitions, I asked her to be mine. My mind was reeling from the incredible feeling I was having no luck on controlling. Tori was beautiful and perfect. I almost lost my mind to the arousal around us when I heard her calling my name. “Victor… Victor” Her voice sounding like flowing honey, tasting just as sweet. I was brought back to reality and realized what we were doing and where. Sh*T! the entire pack was only a stone’s throw away and here we are acting li
The Healer Chapter 24
Tori POV About twenty minutes later, we arrive back to the packhouse. I jump off Ivan, and he shifts back into Victor. As I’m trying to look away but subtly stealing a peak at his very impressive, muscled physique, he reaches into a tree stump and grabs a pair of shorts. I hear him chuckle as he pulls them up. “So, was that exciting or what?” He glanced down at me with a cat ate the canary look. “Honestly, I was terrified, but… “ Victor lost his smile to an expectant one. “It felt wonderful! Like I was flying! Amazing! And exciting.” I couldn’t help but laugh in giddiness at how wonderful it was to be with Victor and Ivan running through the forest. We’ll definitely have to do that again. “I’m glad. I’ve never had that before. Ivan doesn’t like people touching him. “ “Can I speak to Ivan?” He nodded and closed his eyes. A moment later, his eyes were black and a stern look on his face. “Hello Ivan”
The Healer Chapter 25
Mystic/Tori POV “No, I am Mystic.” I break out of my silent cage in Tori’s mind and push forward, sending her to the back seat. Tori can still see and hear what’s going on. Having never done this before, I wasn’t sure if Tori could handle it. She is strong, stronger than she knows, but she hasn’t quite come into all her healing powers yet and she blacks out. I look around the room admiring all the artwork on the walls of majestic wolves and what appeared to be their mates and pups. Beautiful mahogany wood furniture placed strategically around the office. Behind the Alpha were floor to ceiling bay windows where he could monitor activities of the pack. The training grounds were just outside the garden. Floor standing plants were in the corners and several bookshelves lined the front wall with hundreds of different sized books displayed. Sitting across from me is Victor. I have sensed his wolf trying to communicate with me since we met a few days ago. I ha
The Healer Chapter 26
Victor POV I pulled up to the driveway at Tori’s Cape Cod and shut the engine. I walked around to her side and opened the door for her and took her hand to help her out. I followed her to the door and watched her pull out her keys and put them in the lock and opened the door. “Good night, Tori. I will see you….” I started to step off the porch when she caught my hand. “Victor…. Please come in.” She pulled my hand before letting go and entering the foyer. She turned and looked expectantly over her shoulder. “Tori, I don’t think…. “ She raised her eyebrows at me and put her hands on her hips. She was absolutely adorable looking, trying to be macho. “Please, come in…. “ She said more sternly and stepped aside for me to enter. I guess this is her way of telling me I have no choice. Technically, she does outrank me as an Alpha’s daughter. If she gave a command, I would have to obey. I don’t think she knows that

Alpha Rick POV“So, Victor, talk,” I stated as I took a chair and sat across from Victor. He began explaining his conversation with Warrior Liam. Several times, he needed to calm his wolf, Apache, and soothe him with promises of protecting their pup. I held Tori’s hand tightly during our conversation, afraid if I let go, she would disappear. Victor spoke softly as if not to awaken Tori, but I could tell he wanted to touch her but refrained from doing so.“How the hell did we miss that? We had Tyler and Jeremy on him since Tori’s first attack. Did he meet with anyone? We must bring them in and report what they have found.”I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my hands down my face. Shaking my head with a heavy sigh, I glanced at Victor and hardened myself for the following conversation.“Victor…” He slowly opened his eyes to mine, and I saw regret, pain, and embarrassment.“Yes, Alpha,” He choked out softly. His hands were clenched together as he leaned forward on his knees.“You attac

Tori POVAs I followed the doctor down the hall to Alpha Ronin’s room, my mind was going rampant with thought after thought. Inside, I find him hooked to a heart monitor and several IVs attached to each arm. A nurse was holding pressure on a neck wound with bulky bandages, but the blood was seeping through alarmingly fast.“Tori, please, can you help him?” I stared at the damage Ivan had caused and cringed, realizing the level of power behind his anger—all because of me.“I will try. Alphas can be difficult and stubborn, " I said while keeping my eyes on Alpha Ronin, who was still unconscious.I stepped up to the bed and took a deep breath. I felt Mystic push forward and peer through my eyes.‘The Alpha will survive. It was not meant to kill him. Only a warning.’ I took hold of his beautiful, long-fingered, and strong hands that felt cold and clammy to the touch. My heart twinged in pain because of what this poor man had to go through because of me. He was in the wrong place at the wr

Victor POV“You are too Late!”He grinned with a mouthful of blood before spitting it at my feet.“For what?” I growled as I grabbed him by the neck and squeezed. He gurgled and tried to gasp, but he only drooled. “Tell me!” I roared again. He twisted his head to look at me. His eyes were cloudy and bloodshot. His body was going limp. He was dying.“Liam!” I gave him a shake, and with one last breath, he spoke.“They…come..take…her.” With that, his head lolled over, and his eyes were milky white. I could feel the spirit leave his body and leave behind a cold, hard shell. He was dead.I released my grip, and he fell to the floor with a thud. Over the last hour, my mind raced with his words, trying my hardest to catch a hint of who he was talking about. He never gave any names to those involved. I know he was working with an Alpha, but I have no idea which one!“Beta! What did he mean?” The guard came up behind me and asked with a shaky voice. I spun on him, and then it hit me.“Tori! S
The Healer Chapter 88
Victor POVI storm out of Alpha’s office in search of Liam. My mind is hazy, and my blood is boiling. I had no idea that Rick had received so many letters threatening to kidnap Tori. He probably felt I would go on the warpath with every pack in the state if I knew, and he’s goddamn right I would!I slammed the front door open and stomped across the yard towards the cells. I vaguely noticed pack members watching with concern out of the corner of my eye. I felt Tori watching me and heard a small whisper, but I could not focus on her right now. Ivan and I needed to neutralize the immediate threat to our little dove.I reached the door to the cells, and as soon as I saw the guards, they opened each door as I walked through to the cement stairs leading to the basement.Passing through the dark, damp, moldy hallways towards Liam’s cell, I was fighting with Ivan to keep him under control. I needed answers from this douchebag, then Ivan can do what he wants.“Open cell number seven now!” I or

Tori POVI watched Victor storm across the field toward the cell house where the prisoners were kept. He disappeared through the large iron doors with a resounding thunder that spread across the yard. I stared at the door for a moment before continuing into the house.I went through the kitchen and into the main hall, where several pack members were hanging out, watching movies and playing games. I overheard a conversation as I came to the foyer to ascend the stairs to my father’s office.“So, Whitney, have you guys made it official yet?” I heard a giggle, then a sigh.“Not yet. He said he wanted to hook up at the barbecue tonight.” She squealed in excitement. “I plan on giving myself to him. He hasn’t exactly said it, but I know he’ll announce that we are officially a mated couple tomorrow.” She giggled along with her friends. I rolled my eyes at their childish behavior until one of them spoke.“It must be exciting! To think that you’ll be the Beta female. I wish I could be mated wit

Merrick POVAfter the dramatic revelation about Jax and Corinne, I instinctively reached for Teaghan’s hand and led her to my office. As we stepped inside, I noticed Charles by the bookshelves, his attention on a history book. He turned to face us, his movements deliberate.“Alpha, Luna.” He bowed his head before replacing the book on its shelf and standing before us.As we all entered the office, I noticed Eric and Victor giving each other confused looks as they saw Charles waiting for us. I sat at my desk and pulled Teaghan to sit on my lap. She smiled down at me as I deeply inhaled her scent, knowing I needed it before the conversation we were about to have.“First order, Alpha Ronin and Luna Daria. I have the final submission of the treaty. We both have a signed copy of the initial agreements. I have here the addendums with the stipulations you requested. Please take your time reading it and tell me if we missed anything.” I handed both copies to Ronin and Daria, and they sat back

Alpha Colton POVI hoisted the warrior over my shoulder, his weight a mere inconvenience. As I prepared to strike, I noticed him still sprawled on the ground, struggling for breath. With a calm stride, I approached, my foot finding its place on his neck.“Submit!” I barked, my voice resonating with authority. In an instant, he complied, his neck exposed in a gesture of defeat. A deep, hearty laugh erupted from my chest. “Excellent! Now, scurry away like the coward you are!” I roared, observing his hasty retreat, his movements a blur of desperation.That was the fourth warrior that I put down today. I hate to admit it, but whatever that healer did to me was f*cking amazing! My shoulder was injured in battle, and some feral rogue bit half of it off. It took me years to heal, and even then, it was only partially healed. I had some mobility and even less strength. Ordering the Healer to prove herself turned out to be a miracle gift. I returned home that day and went straight to the gym. I

Tori POV“Get away from my mate!” Beta Jax's voice boomed, filled with a protective fury.I whipped my head around to see Alpha Ronin holding back his enraged Beta. His eyes were piercing black, meaning his wolf had taken over and wanted to get to his mate, not understanding that we were helping her to heal.“Beta…” Tammy leaned slowly towards me and whispered.“No sudden movements. We don’t want him to attack.”“Why would he attack? We’re not doing anything!” I whisper yelled back, never taking my eyes off of the Beta.“His wolf has taken over. He doesn’t know we are healing her; he thinks we are hurting her.” She swallowed heavily and spared a glance at me. “Tori, he’s a Beta wolf fighting for his mate. Do not cross him! He could take down the Alpha right now!” I shook my head, and before I could say anything more, Mystic spoke.‘Tori, Jasper is going crazy. Slowly let go of her hands and place them in your lap. I will try to talk him down.’‘Who the hell is Jasper!’ I thought to my
The Healer Chapter 83
Tori POVI was so happy I was practically bouncing out of the packhouse. Hearing that my dad would announce to the pack that I was his daughter was absolutely fantastic! Finally, I will be a part of the pack. I can’t wait to meet everybody properly.“Tori!” Tammy yelled as she shook my arm. Come back to us; you’re lost in Lala land!” She giggled as I focused on her, laughing at myself.“Sorry, I am just so excited he’s finally introducing me to the pack and making me a member! I could bust!”As we left the dining room, I caught one of the Omegas staring at me blankly, almost as if she were holding back a sneer.“Thank you very much for breakfast; it was wonderful!” I commented to her, but she did not answer. The other Omegas had their heads bowed, and I thought that was strange but shook it off. We headed up to Tammy’s room to begin planning the barbecue.“We’ll have to meet with the kitchen staff to ensure we have everything for tonight. Also, I’ll have Eric ask some warriors to acco
