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,

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

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

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 Fucking Jasper is attacking my pack. Again. When is this asshole going to realize that he can’t defeat me. This time, he must have gotten some friends to help him, but they aren’t the scrappy fighters that my warriors and I are. Other than me, my pack is made up solely of rogues, the misfits that the other packs kicked out. Okay, yeah, some of them are dangerous and I have to keep them in line, but they’re deadly, and Jasper needs to learn that no amount of money is worth your life.When I claimed my father’s pack at eighteen, I learned just how hard he’d worked to ensure my financial stability when I took over the pack. I know a lot of the wars that he fought were to obtain better pack lands, easier and cheaper access to water, electricity, and other necessities. He did it all for me. And now, I am by far, the richest Alpha I’ve ever met. I'm richer than Henry and richer than Warren. You’d never know it to look at me and my pack members. We don’t dress like we’re rich, we don

KennedyI watch as my mother prepares the woman on the bed in front of her. Sometimes I get to be in the room, helping by giving her the tools that she needs to complete her surgeries, or stitching up our pack members after she's done. But since today is my eighteenth birthday, she told me I could assist. It didn’t hurt that I told her that it was the only thing that I wanted for my birthday.“When you do a Cesarean section, you have to be careful where and how you cut. You don’t want to cut too deep and risk injuring the pup and you don’t want to cut too high on the mother’s stomach because you could cut the pup,” she says, pointing to the area where she wants me to cut.Thankfully, it’s Anna who is having a baby today. It’s her fourth pup with her mate, Bennett, their oopsie baby thirteen years after the birth of their third pup. It’s why my mother suggested that she have the C-section rather than try to deliver naturally. It’s also why I’m allowed to assist. I’ve grown up around An

QuirinWhen Henry and I pulled up to the packhouse, I smelled her before I even opened the door.“Quirin, where are you going?” Henry asks as I quickly leap out of the car and make my way to the packhouse. I ignore him. I have to see her. It’s all I can do to keep Raif under control as he pulls me into the packhouse.Once inside, the place is packed and I can’t see her, can’t find her. Raif snarls angrily and the party guests part like the red sea.There, across the room from me, is Kennedy. My mate.Raif announces it before I can stop him. Part of me is thrilled. There’s always been something about Kennedy that has drawn me in, something that has made me feel protective and even possessive at times. And now, I know why, she’s my fated mate.The other part of me knows that the words that I spoke to her all those years ago were accurate. ‘Men like me are no good for little pups like you.’ I hadn’t been lying. She deserves someone like Henry, or even someone like her brother. Instead, t

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
The Pack's Nemesis Chapter 33: Battles and Stitches
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
