Chapter 38

Warren

One day very soon, I’m going to take the time I need to mark my mate. I’m getting really fed up with constant interruptions when I finally get a moment to enjoy her. However, I know now isn’t the time. She’s right, we have an influx of wolves coming in and as the first ones arrive, I know Yara is going to be here for quite a while.

As they start coming in, Yara goes into doctor mode, taking Noelle with her and talking to the patients and then explaining what and why she’s doing what she’s doing to Noelle. She grabs a clipboard and hands it to Noelle.

“Start marking down who has arrived, and what their triage status is,” she tells Noelle.

As I watch, I realize that Yara already has this hospital running like a well–oiled machine. As she makes her assessments, Katie and Erica move in to start working on the ones who are lower on the risk level while she and Savannah continue to assess and Noelle documents, still listening to Yara as she explains things. I’m impressed that Noelle can listen and take notes from Yara and Savannah at the same time. Hopefully she’ll be interested in staying with Charlie. Yara could use more hands in the hospital.

“How’s she doing?” Charlie asks as if my thoughts conjured him to my side.

“I was just thinking that she’d make a great assistant for Yara,” I tell him, watching him smile proudly.

“How did it go? I don’t see many wounded warriors coming back

“Honestly, it was too easy. How he ever lasted as an Alpha is beyond me,” Charlie says.

“I’m guessing it was his Beta. He was vying for the Alpha position and for your mate,” I tell him making Charlie growl. The sound has Noelle’s head shooting up in our direction.

“Sorry,” Charlie says to her, his voice much softer.

“The Beta’s dead, so no worries on that front,” I say as Noelle returns to listening to Yara.

“How long do you think it will be before Quinton finds out about Thomas?”

“I’m not sure, but I doubt it will be long. Depending on his next step and plan of attack, he’ll find out in a day or so at the most.”

“Do you

think he’ll attack?” Charlie says, watching our mates move through the room.

“I don’t know. If we hadn’t gone so long without sleep, I’d say we should hit Brady’s pack, but his is full of those damn booby traps and I’m not sending our warriors out there to die.”

Because I’ve been watching her closely, I notice when Yara’s nose starts twitching. She turns, looking around.

“Luna?” Noelle asks her, but Yara holds up a finger, telling her to wait.
