CooperQuinton's in trouble, and Noelle might be too, but it's a very different kind of trouble that she's in.

WarrenOnce again I wake with the scent of cinnamon and nutmeg in my nose and a raging hard on pressed against the soft, fleshy backside of my mate.In my half-asleep state, I check the time and see that it’s mid-afternoon. We’ve slept through the day once again.I begin to rub my hands up and down Yara's bare thigh, moving to her flat stomach and up to her breasts. I knew I’d love the feel of her soft body. She fits against me perfectly and something about her softness feels like silk sliding over my rough and scarred skin.I smile as her body begins to respond to me in her sleep. Her backside pressing against me, making my hard length wedge between her butt cheeks. I grit my teeth against my desperate desire to slide inside her. I want us to have our time, our moment, and I want it to be soon, but I know now isn’t that time. I need to call Alpha Harold and let him know I have his pack members. Maybe then he’ll stop attacking me.But that can wait. Right now, I want to wake my mate up
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 42: The Injured
YaraBefore we go our separate ways, Warren kisses me, really kisses me, in front of the entire pack. I don’t know what it looked like, but it sure felt like a movie kiss.“If we’re attacked, I’ll send warriors to protect the hospital. You just worry about doing what you do best,” he says, his eyes soft as they look at me.“Then you do what you do best, Alpha. Fight hard and stay strong.”“With you by my side, how can I not stay strong,” he says, leaning in to kiss me again.When I turn, I see Bradley, Savannah, and Noelle all waiting for me. Noelle isn’t wearing a mate mark, but she smells strongly of Charlie. I see her look past me, trying to hide her smile. When I turn I see Charlie winking at her.“Morning, Luna,” he says as if he wasn’t just flirting with his mate.“Morning, Beta,” I say, turning back to the group.“Okay, I guess you three are with me. Did Anna get some sleep?” I ask Savannah.“She, Katie, and Erica all took shifts today so they could sleep and Erica could spend s
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 43: Alpha Harold
WarrenAs soon as I kissed Yara goodbye, I’d gone to my office and called Alpha Harold. When I didn’t get an answer, I left a message.‘Alpha Harold, this is Alpha Warren. I have something important to speak with you about. Please call me as soon as possible.’While I’d waited for a return call, I’d tuned in to Yara so I knew about Haynes' and Laney’s mate bond.I’d just about given up hearing back from the older Alpha when my phone rang. When I saw it was him, I answered immediately.“Alpha Warren," I answer.“Alpha Warren, this is Alpha Harold. What do you want?” he growls into the phone. He sounds exhausted and worn out. This is why Alphas have pups young. Being an Alpha, especially during times of war like we’re in, takes a heavy toll on you.“Alpha Harold, I wasn’t sure you’d heard that I attacked Alpha Thomas’ pack and killed him and most of his warriors.”“Calling me to let me know you’re planning to attack me next?” he growls.“No. On the contrary, my understanding is that you
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 44: Franklin
YaraI wasn’t joking when I called our bedroom a greenhouse. When I opened the door, I could barely take a step inside. There are flowers EVERYWHERE! Vases of flowers, potted flowering plants, on every surface, covering the floor, every damn where!Warren, not surprisingly, was smug about it. But then he had to tell me he loved me and kiss me in a way that has my entire body responding to him. I completely forgot that we were right in the middle of the pack dining hall, right in the middle of dinnertime until he pulled back, that smug look still on his face.“Did you want me to get some warriors to help you move them out?” he asks.Then I look around and realize that the entire pack was watching us. My skin heats to an uncomfortable temperature and Warren leans in, running his nose over my blush and kissing my cheek softly.“Yes,” I grumble.“What exactly are you saying yes to,” he murmurs as he moves to kiss my neck.“Not that! Not here! Not now!” I say, jumping back.His eyes are dar
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 45: Taking Charge
WarrenEven with his ‘honesty’, Alpha Harold severely understated the state of his pack. My pack was in bad shape, his is on the verge of dying out. I realize immediately that it will take Yara days to care for everyone here.“What can I do?” I ask her, knowing that she needs more than just Savannah. I step up behind her, putting my hands on her hips and pushing my energy into her. I can feel how overwhelmed she is and knowing that she’s the only doctor here, the majority of this will fall onto her.“Do you have omegas who can sew?” she asks Alpha Harold.“Yes,” he says.“Get them here,” I say to him, looking around.“You two start triaging, I’ll start laying these warriors out for you,” I say to Yara, then turn to Harold, waiting for him to finish contacting his omegas. “I would suggest that you let your pack know that what Yara says goes, otherwise she’s going to waste valuable time arguing with your warriors.”He makes the announcement, but I can see everyone looking at Yara warily.
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 46: Harold's Secret
YaraI have no idea how long I’ve been fixing broken bones, stitching up bleeding wounds, and generally putting the parts of these people back together. This pack truly was a mess, and I steel myself as I walk out of the last surgery room for the rest of what’s to come. I can feel the fatigue trying to push its way in, but I can’t allow that. Not yet. Not until this pack is at least back to a place where they can start to heal.“Yara,” Warren says, and just his voice soothes something deep inside me. He wraps his arms around me and I take a moment to just breath in his scent, drawing from the strength that I know he’s pushing into me.When I step back, he lets me go. “Where’s Savannah?” I ask him."She got everyone here stabilized so I sent her to get some sleep and get to know her mate,” he says, smirking.“So…no sleep then,” I say.“Probably not. Although, if he’s a good mate, he’ll recognize how exhausted she is and let her sleep.”“A good mate like you, you mean?” I say, smiling up
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 47: Henry
WarrenI didn’t know an Alpha could begin losing his wolf and still shift.‘Strong Alphas can, or ones who used to be strong. You would be able to if I started dying. I'd make sure of it. I'm sure his wolf is doing the same,’ Arric says.‘So, once Yara is done with him, he’ll be strong again?’ I ask him.‘Look how much stronger we are and not just because she healed us. We’re stronger because our pack is stronger. He will be too.’When Harold’s son walks in, he looks at us cautiously.“Henry, come here, son,” Harold says warmly.The young Alpha walks over to his father’s bedside, still watching me and Yara warily.“Henry, this is Alpha Warren. He and his Luna doctor, Yara, are helping to heal me and Luna Yara is the one that has been healing our pack members.”“We have Rebecca,” he says sharply, as if Yara and I are trying to secretly infiltrate his father’s pack.“Henry,” Harold says a bit sharply, “these two are basically saving our pack. Show some respect.”“It’s okay. I bet you’re
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 48: Unexpected Meeting
QuintonWe’d gone to Brady’s pack only to arrive after Harold had retreated back to his pack. We’d missed him by just a couple of hours.We’d had to wait to get through Brady’s booby traps. Harold and his warriors had set off some, but the biggest reason Brady doesn’t get attacked is because of those booby traps. The only reason I haven’t implemented them in my pack is because Brady sometimes loses one of his own pack members when they forget where they’ve left the traps. I’m not willing to lose my pack members and I don’t have the knowledge of how to set and reset them like Brady does.When we’d finally gotten inside his pack lands, I realized just how much his pack was injured.“How much of this is from Harold?” I ask him, looking around. These warriors are in no position to attack Warren’s pack with me.He’d looked around at his pack. “Some, but most of it is still from Warren’s pack.”I knew he was injured, knew he’d needed time to heal, but I hadn’t realized that Warren’s pack was

WarrenWaking up with Yara back in my arms and safe, is incredible. Waking up with my mate straddling me and sliding herself down my hard length is fucking fantastic.I’d spent hours reconnecting with Yara, mentally and physically last night, needing to feel the connection to her, needing to feel her. And now, apparently, my mate needs more. You won’t hear me arguing, especially when I get to watch her beautiful body bouncing on me, feel her body clenching around me as comes, hear her sweet sounds as she finds her pleasure, and then see those intense eyes when they focus on me. I knew this woman would be all passion when she finally let go and here she is.“More!” she growls, still hungry for me. Just me. The possessiveness in me is unlike anything I’ve ever felt. Yara has become the air that I breathe. She is everything that I need in this world and this world would be nothing without her.I flip our positions, putting her on her back and pulling both legs over my shoulders grinding
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 69: Unprotected
YasminThere was only one place for Quirin and I to go. Back to our pack. There’s no one there now, my son is the Alpha of nothing thanks to his greedy father, but that’s okay. We’ll find a way. I’ll find a way to bring my son back to the position he was born for. The only reason I accepted Quinton as my chosen mate was so that my son could be an Alpha. Quinton was fine as a mate, he never forced himself on me, but there was never any love there. It was always an understanding. I give him what he wants and he takes care of me for the rest of my life.I held up my end of the bargain, but he’s completely fallen short on his. He can’t take care of me if he’s dead. And now, I’m weak and I have to protect my young son.It takes us nearly a day to get back to the pack at the slow pace we have to go because my wolf is silent. I can only walk so far before I need to stop and rest. Quirin is quiet and since there’s nothing that I can say to make losing his father better, I stay quiet too.I bre
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 68: Marked
NoelleWhen Charlie left, going to find Alpha Warren, I’d realized something very important. If he didn’t return, I’d be devastated.I’ve watched him tirelessly run this pack while Alpha Warren has been gone. He’s strong, but fair, allowing Quinton’s pack members to remain here until Warren can decide if he’ll accept them into the pack. He’s a better Alpha than Thomas ever was, and he’s not even an Alpha.I haven’t had time to join the pack with everything going on, so I don’t have a mind link to make sure that my mate is safe. And he is my mate, he is everything I have ever wanted in a mate, and so much more. And now that I’ve made my decision to accept him, I want to make official right now.Of course, that’s not an option. The pack is in chaos, our Alpha and Luna are gone and now our Beta is gone. I may be the unofficial Beta female, but without a pack link, I’m useless to assist.The same is true for my sister. With Haynes acting as Alpha, she could help him if they were marked and
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 67: Home
YaraI wake with the smell of teakwood in my nose and the feeling of warm water surrounding my body. I jolt awake, unsure of what’s happening.“Shhh, we’re both filthy and you smell like Simon. I didn’t want to go to sleep like this, so we’re getting a bath. You can relax, I’ll take care of you,” Warren says. Just the sound of his voice soothes me.I snuggle closer to him, needing his touch and smell after having been with Simon.“Are you okay?” I ask him. I can feel the warring emotions inside of him.He squeezes water over my shoulder, letting it rinse off the smell of the cave that I have on me. That and the scent of Simon. I don’t even want to know why my body smells like him.“I should be asking you that. But, I’m better, now that you’re here and safe in my arms,” he says.I look up at him and when he looks at me, his teeth snap together and he looks away.“I’m sorry you have to see me like this,” I say softly, knowing my bruised face is a reminder to him of what he considers an i
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 66: Safe
WarrenI felt something deep inside me ease when I got Charlie’s mind link about Yara. I’m still about an hour away from Harold’s pack, but Arric pushes us hard to get there, leaving our warriors behind. Yara said she needed us. I don’t know what happened to her, what Simon may have done to her, and I don’t care right now. We’ll get through it. I’m just so thankful that she’s safe.When I get close to Harold’s pack, I howl that I’m coming in. Hopefully they know that I have no intention of waiting for the patrols to let me through. I need to see my mate and nothing will keep me from getting to her.As we catch her scent, Arric pushes even faster, following her scent, along with the scent of antiseptic, to the pack hospital. Arric rushes into the hospital and I shift without stopping. Everyone in the waiting room, including Alpha Harold just points and I rush to her room, slamming the door open.The first thing I see are her bruised, swollen cheeks. Simon will die slowly for touching wh
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 65: The Call
CharlieI haven’t gotten more than two hours of sleep since Luna Yara was taken and Alpha Warren left the pack. I’m beyond exhausted, but more than that, I can feel the tension in the pack, the anxiety about not knowing what’s going to happen to their Alpha and Luna. I have the same anxiety, but I’m the pack’s current leader, so I shove it aside.In the past, I would have also felt the pack’s desire to test me, to test the strength of the leader of this pack. It’s nice to know that Luna Yara’s influence has extended past her and Alpha Warren. She’s somehow made the pack feel whole, like it should. So now, anyone who would try to go against me, to test me, would break that bubble of security and I think the entire pack would turn on them. It feels good to have the pack's confidence in its leadership.My phone rings and it’s a number I don’t recognize.“Beta Charlie,” I answer.“Beta, this is Beta Franklin, Alpha Harold’s Beta.”“Yes, I know who you are. Is everything okay?”“Beta, we ha
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 64: The Gift
HaroldWhen Franklin returned after attacking Brady’s pack, he let me know that Brady survived, but his pack has been nearly decimated. I sent scouts to watch his pack and make sure that he doesn’t leave. I doubt he will, but now that our pack is getting stronger, I can afford to send a couple of warriors to keep watch.Savannah was beside herself wanting to go back to her old pack to help, especially after hearing that Yara had been kidnapped by Simon. I told her what Beta Charlie said and she’d become even more distraught.“Bradley was shot? Even I wouldn’t know how to save him. Poor Noelle,” he said. Franklin had taken her to their room and tried to console her. I’d waited a few hours and called Beta Charlie.“Alpha Harold?” he answered, sounding exhausted.“I’m sorry, Beta. Did I wake you?”“It’s okay, Alpha Warren isn’t back yet, so I’m still running the pack.”“I wanted to update you on Brady and find out what happened with Alpha Quinton.”“Quinton turned himself in, basically ga

YaraI come awake slowly. My body is stiff and my arms are aching, like I’ve somehow managed to get tangled up in them while I was sleeping and they’re stuck behind my back. I try to move them out from under me, but I can’t. My head feels fuzzy and it hurts. What’s going on?‘Wake up, Yara,’ Annika says urgently‘I’m trying, Annika. What’s going…’“There she is. Finally,” an angry voice says nearby. My eyes flash open. I recognize that voice. I don’t, however, recognize my surroundings.‘Annika, where are we?’‘I don’t know. He knocked me out too.’A hand grabs my hair, pulling me into a sitting position roughly. My arms are tied behind my back and my legs are wrapped up tightly. My body is stiff and sore. I must have been like this for a while.“You just had to go and fuck him, didn’t you?” Simon snarls in my face.He looks crazed. His hair is shooting out in all directions like he’s been tugging on it so long that it doesn’t bother trying to go back into place again. His eyes are fur
The Pack's Doctor Chapter 62: Trade
CharlieAfter checking on Noelle and leaving the hospital, I called Harold to tell him about Yara being taken and Brady running home. He told me he’d send Franklin and his warriors after Brady and asked if we needed Savannah.“Honestly, I don’t think she’ll make it on time. Yara’s guard was shot with silver. If Noelle can’t save him, he won’t live long enough for Savannah to get here,” I told him.‘Beta, we have Alpha Quinton and his warriors trapped in the cell block,’ Haynes says in the mind link.‘Hold them there, I’m on my way.’“Let me know if you need anything. Should we send a search party for your Luna?” Harold asks.“Alpha Warren is out hunting Simon down now. If we need help, I’ll let you know. Thank you, Alpha.”“It’s what allies do, Beta. I’m glad to know that we can help.”I hang up as I get to the cells, walking down the stairs and hearing the crying of the omegas, pups and other prisoners. I also hear the sound of their warrior mates trying to soothe them. The smell of f
