The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 12: Pack Hospital
KennedyWhen I get downstairs, I don’t miss the looks from the pack members. Even in jeans, I stand out with my bright yellow top. Oh well, this is who I am.“Hello,” I say, as I pass the pack members.“Hello, Luna,” they murmur.I don’t see Quirin, but I’m sure he’s got a lot going on. Yesterday was a very busy day for him, between the attack on his pack and finding his mate. He said he’d find me and since he hasn’t, I know he’s busy.When I walk into the kitchen, I see one of the pack members talking to an omega. I can smell her fear as he towers over her.“Hello,” I say, making my presence known. “Is there a problem?” I ask, walking to stand next to the omega. The man is obviously a warrior, strong and tall. He has multiple scars on his face and neck, and what I can see of his arms, reminding me that my new pack is made up entirely of rogues who have had to scrape and fight to get what they want.The man looks me over, sneering at my attire.“No problem, Luna,” he says, stepping bac

QuirinI had a lot of clean up to do after the battle, making sure that the dead from Jasper’s pack were buried and that Kier had taken care of any hostages. We haven't learned anything new, just that Jasper wants this pack because we’re wealthy.So it had been nearly lunch time when I’d finally told my Beta that I needed to check on my mate.“How is everything? I mean, I don’t want to pry …” he begins.“Then don’t,” I say to him. I will never share any intimate moments that I have with Kennedy with anyone. Those are mine. She’s never been with another man and no man will ever know how fucking fantastic it is to be with her. Only I will ever get to experience that.“I’m just … that was a lot of blood, Alpha. You know this pack is made up of rogues, but she’s not and never has been one. I get that she’s an Alpha female, but she’s not tough like we’ve had to be. She’s your mate, that makes her my Luna, so I want to make sure that she’s okay.”“Maybe it’s time I go check on her then,” I s

QuirinWhen I get back to the hallway with where we have our offices, I walk into Kier’s office.“Looks like you have an admirer,” I say, putting the plate down in front of him. He smiles but doesn’t comment.“How’s our Luna?” he asks instead.“Good. I told her she could do whatever she wants to the pack hospital, just so you know. If for some reason I’m not here …”“I’ll make sure she knows that anything she wants to do is okay?” he asks, making sure he understands the level of autonomy I’m giving her.“She can level the building and start over if she chooses to do so.”He looks at me a moment. “You know our warriors will never go there.”I shrug. “Maybe she can look after the pups when they scrape their knees or get splinters in the feet. I don’t care what she does over there, I just want her to be happy.”“Free rein. Got it. Also, the last of our hostages perished during interrogation while you were checking on Luna Kennedy.”“You?” I ask, wondering if he lost control and killed our

Kennedy“How long has it been since anyone has ordered supplies?” I ask Deborah. Everything in this hospital is outdated. I’m not even sure I would know how to use the x-ray machine. It looks like it’s older than I am.“We order the basics that we need for pups; bandages, antiseptic, occasionally some sutures, but that’s about it,” Deborah tells me.“Okay, I know you said the pack basically lets their wolves heal them, but what about labor and delivery? Ultrasound machines, baby heart monitors, that sort of thing?” I ask.“Well, it’s like I said before. We’re all used to getting by, so when we’re pregnant, we just deliver our babies.”“And no one has ever gotten an infection? No one has lost a child because it was a breech birth?”“Well, I didn’t say that. We have lost a couple of mothers and pups over the years due to a difficult birth, but mostly, if we lose a pup during pregnancy or delivery, we assume they weren’t strong enough to survive,” she tells me.That might be the most arch

QuirinThe moment Raif caught Echo and began mating her, I knew we were in trouble. That same light, the same warm glow, the same rapturous explosion of pleasure blasted through our body, just like it had when I had mated with Kennedy.After that, there was no controlling Raif. He lost all restraint, getting engrossed in the excitement of the hunt and bliss of their mating. Echo had finally collapsed back at the overhang, before I could get Raif under control again.‘Dammit, Raif!’‘Quirin… I …’I know he didn’t mean to lose control anymore than I did, and yet, neither of us has any restraint when it comes to feeling the utter joy that being inside our mate brings us.We watch as Echo shifts back to her human form. I take control of Raif’s wolf body and walk over, sniffing her. I growl as I smell blood.‘This is why I said no more mating. Now that you and Echo have completed your bond, there is no reason to mate until we know we can control ourselves,’ I tell him.I know he doesn’t lik

KennedyI’ve never been so embarrassed in my life. I cannot believe that Quirin called me a pup in front of his warriors. It was all I could do to not start crying right there in front of everyone. So instead, I did what he said. I turned around and walked back inside.I had intended to go to our bedroom and let the tears come, knowing I have some time before he will be done with training, but as I walk in, Susie waves me over.“Luna. Luna, are you okay?” she asks.I force my tears back. “Yes, thank you. What can I do for you?”“Well, Alpha said we should come to you when we need to order food,” she says.“Of course. Why don’t you show me where you keep your food and how you’re managing the ordering system now.”We spend the next couple of hours going over everything. The system they’re using is okay, but I prefer mine and after talking it over with them, they like my process as well. I also make sure that I tell every one of them something that I liked about their part of dinner last

QuirinI watch my mate leave the dining hall and packhouse, still holding the food in my hand. I’d noticed that she was unusually quiet, that my apology hadn’t had the desired effect on her. I’d hoped that maybe joining in with the pack would bring her out a bit, but it seems to have had the opposite effect. It hasn’t even been a week and already my darkness is invading her light.I look at her plate and realize that she didn’t eat. Again. She hasn’t eaten all day and now she’s out burning off energy. Angry, upset energy if I’m understanding the feelings I’m getting from her. When I’d opened the link through our bond this morning, she’d shut me out and she hasn’t reopened that link. Now, all I have is my Alpha link to her. It’s not as strong as the link through our mate bond but I don’t like being shut off from her.I open my link to the patrols, wondering where she’s going.“Alpha, is our Luna okay?” one of the omegas asks, coming over and looking at her plate still full of food.“Can

Kennedy“Kennedy, wake up,” I hear Quirin’s voice.I open my eyes and see him sitting beside me on the bed. “Listen, I know training didn’t go well with you yesterday. I understand you haven’t really received any training, but I’d like to at least work on your defensive skills. I’d like to know that you can defend yourself if we're attacked. Echo is really fast and that gives you the upper hand if something were to happen. But if someone got to you, you’d need to be able to get away from them in order to run or at least fight them off so you could run. I’d feel better knowing that you had some knowledge and skills in that area, but I don’t want to train you in front of the other warriors, not right now anyway. Are you okay with that?”“I have no problem learning defensive skills, Quirin. I’ve just never been a fighter. It’s not who I am,” I tell him.“I understand,” he says, then looks away. “Well, no, I don’t really, but if you’re against fighting, then at least let me train you on de

The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 79: Love
KennedyI wake up warm and comfortable, with Quirin’s sandalwood scent surrounding me. I feel a slight fluttering in my mind and I know that Echo is fighting to come back to me.‘Heal yourself, Echo. I’ll be here when you get back. I love you,’ I say in our mind. I know my wolf, she won’t stop fighting. But hopefully she can hear me and knowing that I can feel her trying will help her to feel better. I can still feel the pack holding on to her, helping her to find her way back.The next thing I feel is Quirin’s mind. I smile, loving that it’s still open to me. Right now, it’s quiet with his sleep, although, images of Slater, the pack lands, and me are flashing on repeat.‘Those are the things he’s most worried about,’ Raif says, purring in my mind but loud enough that I can feel the vibration against my body.‘Don’t wake Quirin, Raif. He needs his sleep,’ I scold him.‘What I need is for my mate to be healthy. How are you feeling, Little Pup? Sorry, I’m still half asleep. How are you
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 78: Family
QuirinI spent some time celebrating Kier’s and Arianna’s mate bond with the pack, a celebration that continued even after they went upstairs. The pack is excited and happy. It’s such a different feeling, something I’m so unused to that I feel a bit lost without Kennedy here to help me navigate through it.“I need to head home tomorrow, Alpha Quirin. Now that I know my sister is safe, I need to return to my pack. But I’m only a phone call away if you ever need me or the pack. I’d also like you to know that you have an open invitation to my pack. Not only are you my sister’s mate, but now we’re allies. You’re welcome any time,” Connor says.“Thank you. When things settle, maybe I can bring Kennedy for a visit. A real one this time. I think she’d like that,” I say.“Are you going to come visit me too, Q? Maybe for more than a day?” Henry asks.“Yeah, yeah, we’ll come see you, too. I need to deal with Slater and Kennedy needs to heal. And I also need to figure out how to clean my pack lan
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 77: The Way it Should Be
AriannaI knew Kier would take his time. I knew he’d told me that being intimate was supposed to feel good, but I’d never guessed that it would feel THAT good. I was shocked when the heat that was building in my core like a hot furnace, exploded in my body. I had grabbed on to Kier’s body, holding him as my own body felt like it was shattering into millions of pieces.Then he’d kissed me and slowly helped my body piece itself together again. After that, what was left?Apparently, there’s more. A lot more.I know he’s watching me to make sure I’m okay with everything he’s doing, but I also get the impression that he likes my body, likes watching how I’m reacting to his touch.“Did you like that?”“That was ...” What do I say? There are no words for what that was. No words that I know anyway.He smiles, as if he understands the feelings that I’m incapable of putting into words.“Can I make you come again?” Is he asking my permission or is asking me if my body will respond. The answer to
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 76: Acceptance
KierWhen Arianna said she had an announcement, my heart stopped. My mate isn’t one to stand in front of people and speak, much less the entire pack. So I knew it was important.When she turned to look at me, I could barely breathe. I was terrified that I’d miss something or misunderstand something that she was saying. Then, she said she accepted me. She said the words that I’ve been waiting to hear for over a year. She wants me. I can’t even believe she thought she had to ask if I still wanted her.I probably shouldn’t have kissed her like that in front of everyone, but thankfully, she didn’t seem to notice that the entire pack began cheering for us.When I finally dragged myself away from the kiss, I brushed the tears off of Arianna’s cheeks. “I have wanted you from the moment I first smelled your lavender and chamomile scent. From the moment that I first laid eyes on you, there has never been anyone else for me.”I kissed her again, more quickly this time as I could feel the pack pu
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 75: Greeting the Pack
KennedyI don’t like feeling weak, I hate that Echo is silent, but I’m loving every minute of being inside Quirin’s mind. His mind is just like he is, rough and rugged on the outside, but soft and gentle underneath, or at least it is towards me. And I like that a lot too. Now that I’m in his head, I can feel the difference in how he feels about me and how he feels about others, even our pack members. He loves them, in his Quirin way, but his love for me is all-encompassing.‘I like having you in my mind. I didn’t think I would, but it’s like walking through a meadow on a sunny day. It feels like the birds are singing, the bees are buzzing and butterflies are fluttering around,’ he says in the mind link.I smile up at my mate. My mate who apparently makes Alpha quake in their shoes, but tells me my mind feels like something out of a Disney movie.‘If you tell anyone, I’ll deny it,’ he grumbles.‘Your secret is safe with me, my love,’ I say, watching his sexy Quirin smile spread across h
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 74: Thankful
Quirin“She’s still asleep?” Luna Yara asks, coming into the room.“Yeah. I think she’s starting to wake up. Her mind is feeling a bit more active,” I say, looking down at my mate who is still sleeping in my lap. I didn’t want to move her and I knew that she’d sleep better in my arms, and well, I just needed to hold her.“I think she might be a bit too comfortable. She needs to wake up to eat,” Yara says, smiling as she comes over to check her daughter.I look up at the woman who changed the path of my life so many years ago. “Thank you for saving her life.”She smiles at me. “You never have to thank me for saving a life. It’s what I do, and it’s what Kennedy does. We’re both very good at it, but I think that when she’s finished with medical school, she’ll be better at it than I am.”I ignore the part about not needing to thank her. Luna Yara has always been very humble about the significance of what she does. She saves lives and by saving one medically, she saves so many others by kee
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 73: Sisterhood
AriannaWe all felt Luna’s consciousness when she woke up. What we didn’t feel was her wolf’s.“Do you think she’ll get her wolf back, Kier?” I had gone to seek him out, needing reassurance. I know he’s working hard, keeping the pack safe while Alpha Quirin is with Luna Kennedy in the hospital. So, I brought him some food. It was a good excuse to go see him.As busy as he is and as exhausted as he looks, he stops what he’s doing to come pull me into a hug.“I trust Luna Yara and she says Luna Kennedy's wolf will come back, so we’re all going to believe that,” he says, wrapping his arms around me. I feel him sigh as he breathes in my scent. I wrap my arms around him and hold him, letting him take strength from the mate bond.“What do you have planned for today?” he asks.“I thought I’d go see Christy. I don’t know if I can help her, but I have some understanding of what she went through,” I tell him.I’m surprised when he smiles at me, gently running his hand over my hair.“What is that
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 72: Open Mind
KennedyAs I wake, I realize several things at once. First, it’s like there’s a tight hold on my mind, like the entire pack is holding on to me. Second, Echo is silent. And third, for the first time that I can remember, Quirin’s mind is open to me.‘You’re awake,’ his voice floats into my mind.‘What’s going on?’ I ask, shifting and realizing that I feel stiff.‘What do you remember?’ he asks softly.I try to focus my mind, try to remember what happened. I was captured. I was injured. I ran ... “Echo!” I say out loud, terrified that I’ve lost my wolf.“Shhh. I’m right here,” Quirin says from beside me. “Raif, your family, and the pack all have a tight hold on Echo. No one is letting her go. We’re all giving her the strength she needs to heal. Your mom says she exhausted herself and that you were both very weak ...”He stops and I turn to look at him. He looks awful. His eyes are red-rimmed and haunted looking, his face has at least a day’s worth of growth on it, and his clothes are wri
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 71: Listening
Quirin“What do you want to know, Quirin?” Alpha Warren asks me.“All of it, I guess. You said my father was after Luna Yara?” I ask.“Not at first,” he says and sighs. “You know, the day I killed him, I told your father that if he had been a different man, he and I could have been friends. Maybe that’s why I’ve tried so hard to have a relationship with you. You’re enough like your father that you and I have a lot in common but you’re different enough that we’ve never been at odds like your father and I were. For all of the money that your father had, and I know it was a lot even back then, he always wanted more. What he had was never enough for him. It was pure greed, nothing more. He didn’t need my lands, but he wanted them. He didn’t need Yara, he had your mother. But he wanted her because he recognized that her strength would make him stronger.”I nod. “I remember talking to him about that. He said you were getting stronger, that you were threatening our livelihood. But what he rea
