The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 31: Henry
QuirinThis is the best fucking morning I think I’ve ever had in my life. After realizing that I can actually be with Kennedy, that she actually wants to be with me, wants the intimacy that I was denying both of us, I’d allowed myself to bask in glow of her bright light.It was fucking nirvana, and I can’t wait to have her again.“Christy, your Luna left without eating. Can you make sure she gets some food?” I ask one of my kitchen omegas.“Sure thing, Alpha. Do you want me to have someone send in some food for you and Alpha Henry as well?”“That would be fantastic,” I say, noticing Christy frowning at me. I guess I am acting strangely. I feel great!“Alpha, we missed you at warrior training today,” Kier says as he walks up, smirking at me.“I was busy.”“Are you planning to be ‘busy’ every morning?”“As many as possible,” I say, unwilling to let his teasing get to me. I’m flying too high right now for anyone to bring me down.“Hello, Alpha Henry. What brings you to our pack today?” K

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

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

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

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
Last Updated : 2025-02-08The 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,

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

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

KennedyWhen we walk upstairs to show Harold and Farrah to their room, my sisters and brothers have already taken over the Beta floor.“Oh, Kier, I’m so sorry,” I say watching them act in a normal way for them, but in a very rambunctious way in this pack.“Are you kidding? It’s great!” he says. "I never had laughter like this is my first pack and we don’t have it here. It’s … loud, but good.”“Alpha Henry!” my sisters and brothers cry all racing over to hug him until they see Harold and Farrah. “Alpha Harrold! Luna Farrah!” Then they divide and conquer, rushing to give all of them hugs. Henry ruffles their hair, while Harold and Farrah ask them questions about their life and what’s been going on with them since they last talked.“Aww, Henry! I just brushed my hair! What if my mate is in this pack and this is the first impression I make on him,” my sister Wendy whines, smoothing out the hair that Henry just ruffled.“If your mate is in this pack, neither of you will know it for three m
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 43: Guest Arrivals
QuirinI know the next few days are going to be difficult for me. For Kennedy, I need to be pleasant and even welcoming to Alpha Warren and Alpha Connor. But the way I’ve been feeling, the darkness starting to settle back into my mind and body, I knew it was going to be hard for me.However, the moment I saw Kennedy get out of the shower, I knew what I needed. I need her light, her shining brightness to push the darkness away.It was fun watching my mate watch herself and sexy as fuck to watch her come undone. I know how beautiful she is when she comes, but I wanted her to see it too. I hadn’t expected her to tell me that it was sexy when I came. I don’t know what it looks like to her, but to me, it’s like my body is blasted with her light, warm and loving. My darkness is slayed by the bright knights of her light. It’s fucking nirvana every time I’m inside her.It's been a few days since we’ve been together, and I almost forget how light I feel after I’m with her. It’s like the weight
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 42: Preparing for Company
KennedyI’m not sure how I feel about becoming this pack’s Luna. On the one hand, I feel like the pack, or at least some of the pack members, are starting to trust me and believe in me. On the other hand, I still have a mate who says he’ll try to listen to me but doesn’t.I don’t give a crap about how Arlo treats me. I can handle him. But I worry about Christy and I worry about him being let out before my Luna ceremony. What if he tries to hurt someone that I love, someone in my family? I don’t see Arlo being the kind of man who forgives and forgets. Of course, my mate doesn’t seem to be that kind of man either, but I trust him to keep the peace for me.I’ve been pleasantly surprised that several warriors changed their mind about leaving and this morning, while I expected that many would leave, it wasn’t as many as I thought. Some who hadn’t come to speak with me had decided to stay on their own. It felt like each warrior who decided to stay was a win for me.Warren stood at my side w
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 41: Delivery
QuirinI feel like the darkness is moving in on me again. It feels like nothing that I say to Kennedy is right. I’m trying to be understanding, but she needs to understand that her father killed people, people that were important to the members of this pack. You don’t just get over that, no matter how many years it’s been.I wasn’t surprised that so many of our warriors had asked to accept her as their Luna early. I was, however, surprised to see them waiting for her when we came downstairs. I hadn’t realized that my pack members were starting to have problems with their wolves. Or actually, that the wolves were starting to feel incompetent.‘I would have eventually felt that way too,’ Raif says, watching the warriors talk to Kennedy. ‘Since the silver was weak enough that we didn’t realize that’s what was impacting our ability to heal, I can understand why the wolves were starting to second guess themselves. It would definitely put a wedge in the relationship because no matter what y
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 40: Change of Heart
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
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 39: Tactics
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
