The Healer Chapter 41
Tori POV I stood over my father with my hands squeezing his as tight as I could. My mind was searching his for the healing tether. Mystic came forward and used her abilities to tie into Apache. The problem was, Apache was an Alpha wolf. They are very strong, independent, and proud. Even though I was his daughter, and an Alpha myself, Alpha wolves are still too proud to accept help.“Damnit Apache!” I screamed at him through the healing bond. He was pulling his own healing magic to help Rick but continued to block me out. What the hell was he doing!? I am trying to heal him from the excessive bleeding from the knife wound. The knife had entered in the center of his chest just below the sternum, barely missing his heart, but it did crack a couple of ribs. Suddenly, my hands started to burn, then my arms, then the sensation traveled throughout my body. It felt like flames were melting my skin from the inside. I looked down at the knife and noticed that it was silver. The

Merrick POVI opened the door to see Corinne standing there with tears rolling her face. I noticed a silver knife in her hand pointed right at me.“Corinne? What are you doing?” She took a step towards me, and I stepped back.“You. Are. Mine!” Before I could move, she plunged the knife into my chest, and I dropped to the floor gasping for breath. My head was spinning and everything was fuzzy.“Victor….. help.” I mindlinked him just before my eyes went dark and I passed out.My mind had awakened before I even opened my eyes. I could hear people talking, an annoying beep, and a rush of air. A strong smell of bleach or cleaner, soft linen and…. Fresh roses and rain. I smiled to myself knowing that wonderful scent. Teaghan was here. I tried to move my arms, but they felt like they were full of lead. My body was tired and heavy, and my mind was exhausted. I groaned out my discomfort and a moment later I felt a warm hand gripping mine.“Alpha?” I heard her sweet angelic voice call to me. Sh
The Healer Chapter 43
Victor POV We were all cheering and smiling with relief as we heard that the Alpha would be okay. I could tell Tori was so scared that she was shaking so much until the doctor spoke. I told her to remember her father was strong and he’ll come through just fine. I asked her if she wanted to go see him, but she looked around the room before answering. Looking over to Teaghan, she offered her the chance to go sit with Rick until he woke up. Teaghan jumped at the chance and thanked Tori profusely. Once she disappeared down the corridor, Tori lost the smile on her face and spun to face the door.As she stormed out of the waiting room, I grabbed her arm and held her.“Where are you going?” She looked me dead in the eye.“I need answers!” She pulled her arm out of my hold and continued out the door.Tori turned and disappeared from the waiting room. I ran after her to see her marching across the training grounds toward the detention cells.“Tori! Wait!” Ignoring me, she kept
The Healer Chapter 44
Tori POV“Okay, I guess you’re just too scared to fight me!” I turned around to walk back to Victor, knowing very well that this a**hat was going to come after me with my back turned. What a coward! I was ready though. I could sense the static in the air as Desmond shifted into his wolf, thanks to Mystic. I heard Jeremy call to me just as Desmond lunged through the air to attack me.I turned just in time to see his front paws come at my face. I pushed them to the side and we both went rolling in the dirt. I jumped to my feet and faced him, ready for another attack.“Not bad rookie!” I heard him jeer as he shifted back to human and walked in circles around me. “Good form, strong stance. Quick on your feet. I’m impressed.” He says with a crooked, creepy smirk. I don’t like this guy; he gives off a foul aura. Even Mystic is watching right below the surface in case he does something I can’t handle. Mystic is extremely strong and agile. If I gave her the reigns and she took over, there’s
The Healer Chapter 45
Victor POVI saw red.I stood up from the ground and stomped off towards the packhouse in search of a dead man. I busted through the front door and made my way through the living areas and up the stairs. Pack members jumped out of my way as I stormed past them. When I reached the third floor, I turned down the hallway and made my way to Desmond’s door.Just as I was about to pound on the door, Tori came up beside me and grabbed ahold of my arm.“Victor, no!” She pulled my arm down and stood between myself and the door. I flared my nostrils and breathed heavily. I was barely able to control my anger, but when I glanced down at her, she had such a pleading look on her face, I calmed down and so did Ivan.“What? Why?” She took hold of my hand and led me away from the door and down the hallway. Ryder and Jeremy were right behind her.“If you go pounding on his door now, you’ll give us away! We need to know why he did it. Or if there is anyone else involved.” I shook my head; my only goal
The Healer Chapter 46
Tori POVI sat on one side of the bed while Teaghan sat on the other. Both of us stared at my father, willing him to open his eyes. The heart monitor played its rhythmic tone as the respirator hummed with each measured breath. I watched his chest rise and fall gently. This mountain of a man who looked like he could take on a grizzly bear one-handed, was now lying here in a hospital bed fighting for his life. All because of the jealousy of one woman who wanted nothing more than the power and prestige that came with being with an Alpha. She did not love him. She may care somewhat for him but definitely not love. She saw her chance slipping away when she learned that Rick was spending his time with another lady. Corinne’s simple mind thought if she couldn’t have him, no one could. She ultimately did more damage than she planned to. As I pondered the reasons why Corinne would have done this, it struck me. Would she really kill the man she wanted? I could see her making life miserable for
The Healer Chapter 47
Tori POVI followed Victor down the long hallway towards the conference room. I could see the heavy double wooden doors that enclosed the large room. Two guards were standing outside ready to open them as we neared.“Victor?” He stopped before entering the room.“Should I be here? I mean, should I be meeting her like this? It might interfere with the process. Remember? I don’t want anyone to know who I am beforehand.” He faced me and grabbed my face in his hands.“Baby, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. If you don’t want to go in there for fear of jeopardizing the healing, then you can wait out here. Unfortunately, as acting Alpha, I need to meet with her to find out what it is she wants.” I nodded and smiled. He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on my lips before grabbing my hand and turning to face the guards.“Open the doors.” He commanded and the guards grabbed the handles and slowly opened the wooden doors. He took a deep breath and stepped into the room with me
The Healer Chapter 48
Victor POVI stood there contemplating her request. I am in no position to make that call. Unfortunately, Alpha Rick is still in the hospital unconscious and unable to speak with the Luna. I am certainly not announcing to the Luna his condition and whereabouts. I will just have to gather all the information I can and speak with the other high-rank members about a solution if there is one.I sat down in my seat and studied her. Her emotions and appearance seem genuine and Tori’s reaction to her is not as guarded as I would expect it to be for someone showing false emotions or having any hidden agenda. Even Ivan feels as if she is truthful about her speculations on her brother-in-law.I was about to ask her for examples and proof when I noticed Tori stifle a yawn and rub her eyes. It’s been a long night and day for both of us. Spending the night watching over Rick and then sparring this morning, she probably has no energy left to talk about accusations and solutions as serious as this.

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

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
