The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Chapter 36

Yara

I finished stitching Laney up while Charlie talked to her and Noelle about who was worth saving from their previous pack. In the end, Laney gave him a list, but it wasn’t a very long list.

“They’ve collected some she–wolves from other packs when we’ve attacked. Some were forced into mate bonds that they didn’t want. They won’t be unhappy that you’re killing their mates, but it will make them weak,” she says.

“You didn’t help them?” I ask her. I don’t mean for it to sound judgmental, but she’s obviously a strong warrior and a woman. She could have stood up for them.

“You underestimate the menace in our pack, Luna,” Noelle says kindly. “My sister has always put my life ahead of others, including her own. Even after I became an adult. They would have killed her, or worse, used me against her, if she’d stood up to them,” she says, smiling at Laney.

“Everyone wanted you. You’re sweet, you’re smart, and you’re beautiful,” Laney says to her.

‘I think our Beta is a bit smitten with this young woman, Annika says in my head. I look over and see him smiling at Noelle in a way that’s very similar to how Warren smiles at me.

‘Do you think…‘ I begin.

‘Yes, she’s his mate.’

“That will make Warren happy,‘ I say, knowing that he’s been feeling grumpier about Gregor’s attention to me and Annika.

‘It makes me happy too. I like Gregor, but I would never choose him over Arric,’ she says, making me curious.

‘Because Arric is an Alpha wolf?‘

‘Because he’s our mate and he’s a good wolf. He’s good for this pack and he’s good for us, Yara. So is Warren. I know you agree with me or you wouldn’t be seriously considering letting him mark us.’

It’s true. I’ve never wanted to bind myself to someone, never wanted to give something so permanent because I never trusted anyone enough to agree to share my life with them. But Warren…he’s different.

“You’ll need to be prepared to look over those women when they come in, Luna. They’ll need your help,” Laney says, redirecting my attention back to them.

“How many are we talking about?” I ask, looking over the list that Charlie is creating.

“Fifteen to twenty, Luna, and that doesn’t include any omegas we come across.”
