The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Chapter 10

Warren

Damn that woman! She’s incredible. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had this much fun instigating someone. Probably

When Charlie follows Yara out of the room, I look down at myself. I realize that I’m still covered in dried blood and gore from the battles earlier today, or maybe it’s yesterday now. I’m pretty sure it’s morning now.

While they’re gone, I carefully get out of bed and wrap the sheet around my waist. I couldn’t care less about walking around the pack naked, but I have a mate now. I don’t want her thinking that Irri flaunting myself in front of other she–wolves.

I realize quickly that while my leg is mending, I can’t put my full weight on it yet.

Those missing slivers that our mate mentioned have to be regrown, Warren. That takes time, but I’m working as fast as I can, Arrie says.

“It’s okay, Buddy. You’re healing me and because of that, we’ll be able to remain Alpha of our pack

“And claim Yara as our Luna,” he says and I can feel his respect and admiration for her, just as I am. As usual, my wolf and I are on the same page. She’s perfect for us.

Just do you best, I say, as the door opens again.

“Oh for crying out loud! I let Beta Charlie chaperone me. Why are you out of bed?” Yara asks, obviously perturbed.

“I’m going back to the packhouse. I need a shower. I stink and I’m starting to itch with all this blood on me. And then, I want to eat. I’m famished. You’re coming with me though.”

“I don’t think so,” she says and I stop

“Why is that?” I ask her.
