All Chapters of The Pack's Nemesis: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

KennedyI wake up alone. At first, I’m disoriented, not recognizing the room I’m in. Then, it all comes back to me. My birthday, Quirin, returning to his pack, completing our bond.I smile, shifting and feeling the soreness that still lingers between my thighs. I knew my first time would hurt. I’ve worked in the hospital, been around my mother talking to young she-wolves all my life. So, I knew there would be pain. What I hadn’t expected was the intense pleasure of that would come first from Raif’s venom, and then from feeling Quirin’s emotions.I’d felt his awe, his pride, his pleasure at being mated to me, at being inside me. I’d felt his desperate need to make me his. I’d also felt that he doesn’t feel worthy of having me for a mate and his guilt at what he considers selfishness by claiming me. If that makes him selfish, I guess we both are.Yes, I’d felt the sting of my body tearing when he’d first entered me. But after that, the pleasure that shot through my entire body was so str

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

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 Everything in this hospital is outdated.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

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

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
