The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

As soon as I got Alpha Warren’s call to attack, I did two things I kissed Noelle and then I contacted Haynes. Noelle has been sleeping in my room since she arrived, which

ans, she’s barely slept here at all. I was thrilled to be able to lay down with

her and curl up around her. I want her to get to know me and feel comfortable before we complete our bond. And now, I truly understand Warren’s frustration at waiting to mark his mate. I’m not sure how he can continue to wait. Gregor is going nuts, but we also know that Noelle is exhausted. She went through a lot in a very short amount of time.

Now, I’m going to war and I don’t want to leave without kissing my mate goodbye. Properly.

“What’s going on?” she asks me when I finish waking Haynes and telling him I need to speak with him.

“Alpha Quinton and Alpha Simon are at Alpha Harold’s pack. Alpha Warren wants me to attack Quinton’s pack while he’s

away.

“Will you be okay? What can I do?” she asks, worried. It feels really good to have someone worried about me.

“Help get the hospital ready. I don’t know what we’ll find in Quinton’s pack, but if it’s anything like Thomas‘ we’ll have mates who are suffering with the death of their other half.”

“What about you?” she asks, reaching up to cup my face.

I hold it against my cheek. “What about me?” I ask, watching the worry in her eyes.

-If Alpha Warren is away, that means that you…you’re in charge of this attack?”

“Yes. I’m a strong wolf. I’ll be okay.”

I watch as she fights her fear, fear that something will happen to me. She finally straightens her shoulders and lifts her chin, making me smile.

“Well, of course you’re going to okay. You promised me that I could get to know you before you marked me. Well, I haven’t had enough time yet, so you WILL win this fight, and you WILL return back here to me. I’m holding you to your promise, Beta,” she says seriously.

I do what any smart man would do, I lean in and kiss her, taking her strength and her passion into me to carry with me and give me the strength I need to defeat Quinton’s warriors. She’s right. I made her a promise and I’m not going to break it.

By the time I release her, she’s clinging to me. She sways a little as I step back, making me smile.

“And I want more of THAT when you get back,” she says, pointing her finger at me in much the same way that Luna Yara does to Warren.

“Yes ma’am,” I say smiling. I know I’m going into battle. I know there’s a chance that I won’t survive or that I be badly injured. But having Noelle here, fighting for my retum, warms my heart and makes me want to fight even harder. I love a bigger reason to fight now. It’s not just to win for my pack and my Alpha I have to win for her. I don’t ever want to disappoint her. Ever.

We walk out of the room and I go to find Haynes.

“Beta, what’s going on?” he asks, jogging up. The warriors have started to congregate so I can divide them into two, the ones staying and the ones going with me.

“Attention everyone. I received a call from Alpha Warren a few moments ago. Alpha Simon and Alpha Quinton are at Alpha Harold’s borders.”
