“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 Everything in this hospital is outdated.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

  • The Pack's Nemesis   Chapter 16: Warrior Training

    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

  • The Pack's Nemesis   Chapter 18: Confused

    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.“Ca

    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 d

  • The Pack's Nemesis   Chapter 20: Arlo

    QuirinWhen Kier went inside at the beginning of warrior training, I knew someone was missing. Most days I start training and he makes sure that everyone got their asses out of bed to come to training. So, I wasn’t surprised when he went inside to collect the stragglers. I was, however, surprised, when it was Arlo who came out. He’s one of the few that loves warrior training. He loves the opportunity to hit someone, so he’s never late.‘We have a problem, Alpha,’ Kier says in the mind link, joining me at the front of the group as I take them through the warm up.‘What’s that?’‘I caught him mouthing off to Luna,’ he tells me.Raif growls angrily and everyone’s head snaps to me.‘Is Kennedy okay?’‘Yes. She said she was and it didn’t look like he touched her. There was something with one of the omegas, but I’m not sure what that was about. She may have been with our Luna when Arlo approached them, but I’m not sure.’“Arlo, you’re with me today,” I bark out loud. He glares at Kier, but

    KennedyAfter checking on Samuel, who is about as sweet as he can be, I head back to the table with Quirin.“Hey Luna, are you planning on lapping us again tonight?” someone calls out.I turn, frowning? “What?”“We were running patrols last night when you decided to make all of us feel like lazy asses when you passed us three times.” I’d been so upset that I hadn’t even been paying attention.“Oh. Oh, I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to make you feel bad. Echo just needed to stretch her legs,” I tell him.“That’s okay, Luna. It’s just a reminder that we need to push harder to make sure no one gets past our borders. It was pretty impressive,” a third patrol member says.“Thank you. If you ever need anyone to set the pace for you …” I begin and laugh when they all begin to say “NO” loudly.When I turn back, I see Quirin watching me. I’m pretty sure that’s pride twinged with possessiveness on his face. Since he doesn’t keep the link between us open often, I’m not exactly sure.“Let’s see how t

  • The Pack's Nemesis   Chapter 22: Preparations

    QuirinIt took Kennedy a long time to fall asleep last night. It took me even longer.The moment Kennedy walked out of the closet naked, it felt like every drop of blood in my body went straight to my dick. It was throbbing so hard that I thought I might explode right there.It was all I could do to tell Kennedy to go get in the shower. I’d been worried that she might come over and touch me and it would have been all over from there. I barely have any self-restraint when it comes to her anyway and having been in close contact with her, smelling her scent increasing during our sparring session, had not helped me at all.Then, I’d had to get myself off in the shower, twice, just to make my dick stop throbbing painfully. All of that was a waste though when I stepped out of the shower and saw her grey-green eyes watching me. She was still awake, waiting for me. I gotten hard again and then struggled to fall asleep, listening to her breathing that took a very long time to even out.I’d bee

    KennedyToday when I go to the hospital, I begin going over what supplies I would like to have for the hospital versus what I feel is critical or at least necessary. Some things, like a new x-ray machine, are necessary, but based on the cost, I set it aside for now. Hopefully, I can get Quirin to talk to me about the cost of these things and what the pack can afford at some point in the near future.I’m pleasantly surprised when Deborah comes in with a laptop that she said Quirin sent over for me. Since I’d forgotten to ask about one, this is perfect.I log in, finding the information on the medical supply store that we use for ordering. When I look back on previous orders, I see that Deborah was right. They only ever order the basics and most of that is in smaller sizes for pups.I put in my order, taking a deep breath when I see the cost, and push send. I guess I’ll find out later if Quirin freaks out over the cost.Christy brings me lunch again today, letting me know that Quirin on

    KennedyAfter a grueling evening of scraping injuries and cleaning out silver from wounds, I felt exhausted.When the last warrior left, I checked with Deborah and told her to head to bed. I have no idea how late it is, I just know that I’m exhausted. I finish cleaning up and check the room Deborah was working in before walking out to the main entrance. I’m turning off lights as I go, barely able to keep myself standing when I smell him.“You look exhausted.”I look up and see my mate in the dim light of the waiting room.“What are you doing here?” I ask.“Waiting for you. I thought you’d be done earlier but when I got here, there were still several warriors who needed to be seen.”“A lot of them came in tonight. I was surprised, but glad,” I tell him.His eyes narrow and he takes my hand, pulling it to him and looking at my palm.“Why do you have a wound that isn’t healed?”I shrug, not sure I can talk about it without breaking down. I’m too tired right now.He looks at me, then back

    Quirin“I can’t believe our fucking warriors. They just sat there, not expecting that they needed to go to see Kennedy to get treatment,” I say as Kier and I walk into my office. When he doesn’t reply, I look at him. His lips are pressed tightly together.“Just say it,” I tell him, crossing my arms over my chest.He shrugs. “I didn’t see you there last night, Alpha. Packs follow their leader, they follow your example. If you don’t trust your mate to treat you, why would they trust her to treat them.”“I can’t afford to look weak to the pack,” I growl.“Well, then, neither can they. Personally, I had a great time kicking everyone’s ass in training this morning, so I hope no one goes to see her next time. Then I can get in and out, get a good night’s sleep and still kick ass the next day.”“Why did you go see her? I wouldn’t have expected you to go either.”I watch as he looks away from me. “Someone said my gashes looked bad, so I said I’d have Luna look at them.”“You got someone on th

  • The Pack's Nemesis   Chapter 38: Facing the Pack

    KennedyI feel like Quirin is finally starting to recognize that I’m not just some silly little pup, but I’m actually an intelligent woman that can help the pack. At least, it feels that way. He apologized, which was totally unexpected but very much appreciated.When we walk into the packhouse, I take a deep breath. I’m guessing that this conversation isn’t going to go over well. This pack is very arrogant. I wasn’t joking when I called Quirin that earlier. That’s all it is, arrogance that the human sits back and leaves the brunt of the work to their wolf.“It looks like we’re on a mission,” Beta Kier says, walking up to us. “Anything I need to know about?”“Yeah, Kennedy has found silver in two of our pack member’s wounds. Since she didn’t find any in your wounds, she believes, and I’m inclined to agree, that this is Jasper’s doing.”“How would that even work?” he asks me.I give him the quick version of my suspicions as we walk into the dining hall.“Everyone, listen up. I have two

  • The Pack's Nemesis   Chapter 37: Underestimated

    QuirinThis is definitely a side of Kennedy that I’m not used to seeing. I step back and pull off my shorts, getting on the table.“You didn’t mention seeing Beta Kier last night when you returned to the packhouse,” I say, watching as she looks at the wound.“Would it have mattered? You still wouldn’t have asked me to look at your wounds. You were quite clear about Raif being strong enough to heal you. Your arrogance and the arrogance of this pack is astounding.”“My arrogance?” I ask, biting off a hiss as she begins scraping the wound. She looks at the scraping, tilting it in the light before nodding and putting the scrapings in a glass cylinder. That looks new too. I frown, how did she know she would need these things?“Yes, it’s arrogant to force your wolves to do all the work of healing you when you could help them. You expect them to fight and then expect them to heal you and your wolves do it without any complaint. But you, as the human, could help them and you refuse because of

  • The Pack's Nemesis   Chapter 36: Wound

    QuirinI was annoyed early this morning. First, I knew Kennedy was upset last night about no one going to the pack hospital. It’s the first time she’s been in bed and acted like she was asleep. She’s a terrible faker and while I knew we should probably talk, I was exhausted after the battle and rather than starting an argument, I just went to sleep.I knew she was still upset about it this morning, but the reality is that this pack has been taking care of itself for a very long time. We’re strong and we’ve gotten on just fine. And as much as I know that Kennedy wants to be like her mother, she’s not there yet. She will be, I know she will, but she has several years to go.Then when we started warrior training, Kier had been bouncing around like he hadn’t fought in the battle yesterday like the rest of us.“What is with you? How do you have so much energy this morning?” I finally snapped at him.“Luna helped to heal me last night. I’m surprised she didn’t insist on healing you as well,

  • The Pack's Nemesis   Chapter 35: Confrontation

    KennedyAs I sit, I hear the doors to the hospital slide open. Thinking maybe it’s Quirin, I stay put. I’m not in the mood for a repeat of yesterday, but maybe we can finally talk about what I found on Tommy’s leg.“Luna? There’s someone here to see you,” Deborah calls out.I step out, seeing Emily and another warrior. He does not look happy to be here.“Luna, could we talk to you please, in private?” Emily asks.“Of course, come this way,” I say, leading them to one of the new rooms that I’ve set up.“Oh, you got the new table you mentioned,” she says.“I did. How can I help you?” I ask. The man is leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest.“Luna, this is my mate, Lane. I’ve asked him, well begged him really, to come see you,” she says, looking at her mate.“What seems to be the problem, Lane.”“There’s no problem, Luna,” he says.“Lane, please!” Emily pleads.He huffs, pushing off the wall. “It just needs more time to heal, Emily. Derion will heal the wound but t

  • The Pack's Nemesis   Chapter 34: Frustration

    KennedyAfter finishing up with Beta Kier, I realize that no one else is coming to the hospital. Whether they don’t think I’m capable of helping them or they just don’t trust me, I’m not sure. What hurts the most is that even Quirin didn’t come. He could lead by example, show the pack that I can help to heal them, but it seems that while we may have made some improvements in the bedroom, he still thinks of me as that little pup.When I walk into the packhouse, I stop, seeing people milling around, burning off the residual tension of the battle. I can smell the injuries on them, smell the blood and seeping wounds that their wolves are having to slowly heal. I feel frustrated tears prick at my eyes. Would it be so terrible to let someone help them?“Hey, there you are. I was just coming to check on you,” Quirin says, skipping down the stairs. He’s freshly showered, his hair still wet and the scent of soap still clinging to his skin.“I just got back,” I say softly.He gives me a pained

    QuirinI’ve been excited to see Kennedy all day. I’ve never been so distracted, so desperate to be with someone. But her love, her light, just fills me with happiness and I want more of it.‘I definitely want more of it,’ Raif purrs in my head.‘Tonight. Tonight we can take our time, explore her body and then bask in her light again.’‘We need to take Echo out again. This time when I catch her, I’ll be mating her,’ Raif says, growling possessively.‘You realize that’s counter-productive to what we’re trying to accomplish, right? She’s not going to run hard if you’re just going to mate her every time you catch her,’ I tell him.‘I have a feeling my little Alpha mate will want me to work for it,’ he purrs.Warrior training seemed to go on and on and I was almost disappointed when Kennedy wasn’t waiting for me when I got done. I could tell when I reached out that she was distracted, trying to work through something. Since she’s in the hospital, I have no idea what could be so distracting

  • The Pack's Nemesis   Chapter 32: Bewildered

    KennedyI feel like Quirin and I have leaped over a hurdle. Just the fact that he came to find me, to show me how much he wanted me, feels like a feat in and of itself.‘And it didn’t even hurt this time,’ Echo purrs. No, it didn’t, it just felt good.‘We needed to adjust to him and now we have,’ she says, stretching in my mind like a damn cat.Between her and the tingles that I’m still feeling in my body, I’m struggling to figure out this damn microscope. It was slow before Quirin came and distracted me in the best possible way, but now … I give up. There’s no way I can focus on this.So, instead, I spend the rest of the afternoon putting the last of the supplies away and making sure that everything is organized in a way that I can get to it quickly if necessary.“Wow, Luna, I’ve never seen so much stuff in here,” Deborah says, walking in.“Well, I doubt we’ll need to replace most of it for a while, but it’s good to have it on hand if we need it,” I tell her.“Do you know how to use
