Yara

I’m so tired, but my body is extremely uncomfortable, making it impossible to sleep. I must be in some weird position. Did I fall asleep studying again?

When I open my eyes, I remember immediately where I am. I’m in Warren’s pack hospital and I spent more time in one night taking care of injured warriors than I’ve spent in all my days of residency at the hospital.

Since my senses are full of Warren’s teakwood scent, I know that I’m laying beside him on the bed. However, I smell Charlie as well. What’s strange to me is that neither of them is talking.

I carefully open my eyes and without moving, I look around to see that they are looking at each other. They must be using the mind link. I haven’t used it in years and even before that, I barely used it, not having a family or really a lot of friends since Alpha Solomon adopted me.

When I refocus on Warren laying in front of me, I see some mechanical devices laying on his stomach.

“What are those?” I ask, pushing myself up and stretc

    WarrenDamn that woman! She’s incredible. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had this much fun instigating someone. Probably never.When Charlie follows Yara out of the room, I look down at myself. I realize that I’m still covered in dried blood and gore from the battles earlier today, or maybe it’s yesterday now. I’m pretty sure it’s morning now.While they’re gone, I carefully get out of bed and wrap the sheet around my waist. I couldn’t care less about walking around the pack naked, but I have a mate now. I don’t want her thinking that I’m flaunting myself in front of other she-wolves.I realize quickly that while my leg is mending, I can’t put my full weight on it yet.‘Those missing slivers that our mate mentioned have to be regrown, Warren. That takes time, but I’m working as fast as I can,’ Arric says.‘It’s okay, Buddy. You’re healing me and because of that, we’ll be able to remain Alpha of our pack.’‘And claim Yara as our Luna,’ he says and I can feel his respect and admira

    YaraI refuse to ask where the packhouse is. I’m pretty sure that arrogant Alpha, and yes, he’s very arrogant, is back there laughing at me, even after I painstakingly put his leg back together. I have half a mind to break all those bones again and leave him to his own devices.‘Oh, that’s not what half your mind has been focusing on,’ Annika says, sending me images of Warren naked in the forest.‘I was focused on his injury,’ I insist.She changes the focus, expanding the image of Warren’s penis. It’s quite large, even when it’s not erect.‘Gotta love big Alphas,’ Annika purrs.‘You are not helping.’‘Come on, Yara. You know you’re enjoying yourself. When’s the last time someone really challenged you mentally? I like him. He’s….confident,” she smirks.I roll my eyes at my wolf and continue walking.‘Tell me you know where this damn packhouse is,’ I say to her.She lifts her nose again and I catch multiple scents all in close proximity.‘There you go,’ she says.I get to the packhouse

    WarrenWhether it’s the exhaustion of the battle, the broken leg that Arric is working hard to heal, or just life in general, I feel exhausted. But no matter how tired I am, I’m not going to miss my mate getting in the shower with me. I’m not even disappointed that she'll leave her shirt on. Humans have wet t-shirt contests for a reason.I stand under the water, letting it loosen the dried blood and gore in my hair. When I look down and see that the water running down the drain is bright red, I wonder how bad I look. Under any other circumstances, I wouldn’t care, but I don’t want my mate to think less of me. She doesn’t seem surprised by the fighting and she seems to understand the need for me to maintain a strong image in front of the pack, but that doesn’t mean that she’s okay with it.“Okay, let’s see what we’ve got,” she says, walking back in and setting the clothes on the counter by the sink before stepping into the shower with me. “You’re pretty tall so I’m going to need you to

    YaraI laugh when I’m embarrassed. It’s a completely inappropriate response, but I can’t seem to help myself. So, when Warren pulls away from our kiss, a kiss that I totally got swept away in, I’m mortified. He’s naked and I’m practically naked and I was pressing my body against his. If Charlie hadn’t interrupted us, there’s no telling what would have happened. And Warren is still recovering. At least that’s what I tell myself.Of course, the only way for me to hide my inappropriate response is to press my face against Warren’s bare chest, his rock-hard chest. Wow! My fingers twitch to touch him, to see if every muscle on his body is this hard and strong. As a doctor who worked in the human hospitals, I know what a ‘muscular’ man feels like. Compared to them, Warren feels like granite.So now I’m even more embarrassed. I have no idea how to get out of this gracefully, but when I look up, ready to make some snarky comment, Warren’s face, usually so fierce and intense, is soft and there

  • The Pack's Doctor   Chapter 14: Infection

    WarrenWhile I had hoped that my invitation to come get her towel, and therefore me, would have worked, I didn’t expect it to. My mate isn’t the type of woman to jump on an Alpha just because she can. Actually, she’s pretty much the opposite, more likely to run from me because I’m an Alpha. And while I wouldn’t say no if she did offer herself to me, I’m kind of thankful that she isn’t. I’m exhausted and when I say we’re going to sleep when we get back, I truly mean it.I watch her eyes go wide when I say we’ll be sleeping in here, but I meant what I said about her sharing my bed. Besides wanting my mate, I also know that having her close will help me to heal and I need to heal fast.I grab the crutch with one hand and Yara’s hand with the other, before leading her back down the stairs. When we get to the dining hall, the room goes silent again. I can feel Yara getting nervous, the palm of her hand against mine gets sweaty. She doesn’t like being the center of so much attention.I know

    YaraOh this man is so frustrating! Why the hell is he telling his pack that I’m their Luna. And now, they’re all calling me Luna. It’s infuriating!Warren walks me to the pack hospital, basically handing me off to Charlie.“Everything okay?” Charlie asks him.“Yeah, thanks. I need to get back and show my face. Can I leave Yara with you?”“I got your back, Alpha,” he says, and begins leading me to a room where I find Haynes already seated on a bed.“Okay, let’s take a closer look at what we’ve got,” I say to him, getting some scissors and cutting away the shirt.I wet the bandages that are covered in dried pus and blood. Then I carefully begin pulling them away to see the massive infection underneath.“UH!” Charlie says and I turn to see he’s covered his mouth and nose. “What the fuck, Haynes?”Haynes just looks down. There’s no way he’s not feeling terrible if the infection is this bad.“I’m going to have to debride this which means I have to scrub all the infection out of the wound.

    Simon“Alpha, we found her,” my warriors say.I’d tracked Yara to the university where my father had been hiding her for years. He knew I wanted her and he helped her escape from me. And then, he’d lied to me about it. He told me she left, renounced him as her Alpha, and that no one had been able to find her.At first, I had believed him. I’d searched on my own, of course, needing to find that pretty little thing, that sweet-smelling, seductive little woman that I will take as my mate. She’s smart, I like that. And while she doesn’t say much, I can tell by the way she looks at me and others that she’s got a smart mouth. On the rare occasion that she actually opens her mouth, she proved me right. I love the idea of taming that mouth of hers, of wielding her to my will, of making her mine in all ways. When I’m done killing, I always need a sweet pussy to fuck, and I just know that hers will be sweet. And since I know she’s never been with any of my warriors, I know hers will be sweet and

    WarrenAs much as I didn’t want to leave Yara, I knew I needed to pack to see me. Haynes and Gael aren’t the only warriors who will test me. However, rather than pushing me to show my strength, the pack surprises me. Everyone is interested in Yara.“Is she really your mate, Alpha?”“Yes, she’s my fated mate,” I say, sitting at a centrally located table, making sure everyone can see me eating and functioning. For now, my fatigue is pushed aside.“Where did you find her?”I chuckle. “She found me. I was caught in the bear trap, some of you found me there with Beta Charlie. She heard Arric rustling around, trying to find a way out of the trap. Or maybe Annika, her wolf, smelled us. I’m not sure, but she came and got me out.”“She’s a doctor?”“She is. A resident, but she’s majoring in human medicine, veterinary medicine, and zoology.”“Why zoology?”I explain what Yara told me and I’m happy that I know enough about my mate to be able to answer the pack’s questions.“Is she really taking D

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

Every time the door opened, I’d hoped that it would be her, coming to find me, but it wasn’t. I couldn’t understand why her scent was so strong, but she never came to me.That is until she’d walked out of a hospital room herself. When she’d clapped her hands at Luna Yara, I’d wondered about it, but then she hadn’t spoken out loud and I figured she was mute. Doesn’t matter to me. Once she has my mark, we’ll be able to talk in the mind link. If she wants my mark, that is.I know we’re in chaos, but she barely even glanced at me when she came out. Maybe she thinks I’m like my old Alpha. I can have Noelle and Laney assure her that I’m not, if we ever get the chance.I’m not sure that the chance that I get is the one I was hoping for, but when Luna Yara is taken and Noelle has to try and save the warrior who was protecting her, I get the opportunity I wanted to speak
