The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Chapter 96

Yara

The flow of warriors coming into the hospital finally starts to slow down. When we get one warrior with a spike through his foot, he tells us that they’ve breached the packhouse and the battle is winding down. I’ve periodically felt Warren’s emotions, his pain, but nothing that my mate and his wolf can’t handle.

Now that it’s settling down, the fatigue of the day and night is starting to set in. But I know I won’t be able to sleep until my mate is home and I’ve checked him over.

I’m still working with the warrior who got the spike through his foot, holding his bones in place while his wolf starts the healing process when I hear a commotion out in the front.

“They’re back, Luna,” Savannah says, coming into the room.

“Go, Noelle. Go check on Charlie. I’ll be out as soon as I’m done here,” I tell her. She and Savannah rush out of the room.

“You should go too, Luna, the warrior says.

“I will, once the bones in your foot are back in place,” I tell him, putting another one together and holding it while his wolf begins healing. Because this warrior isn’t an Alpha, his healing is slower than Warren’s. I push down my need to go see my mate, feeling him reaching out as he crosses our borders.

‘I’ll wait for you to finish,’ he says in the mind link, and I relax a bit. I didn’t realize I didn’t want anyone else treating my

mate. I want to look him over and treat him myself. He’s MY mate. Mine to treat, mine to tect, mine to love. He sounds

exhausted and I know once we’re done here, we’ll both need a shower and then some sleep.

When I finally finish setting the bones and stitching the warrior’s foot, I tell him he can shower in the hospital shower but he has to keep his foot dry and he has to stay a night in the hospital. He starts to grumble but when I give him a look, he stops.

“Yes, Luna.”

“Good man. Katie will be on duty since the rest of us have been working non–stop. Give her any problems and you’ll answer to me.”

“I won’t cause any problems, Luna.”

I nod and head out of the room. The noise level in the waiting room is much louder than usual, but the energy is much more positive. I step into the room, looking around at pack members who are helping their mates by pulling splinters out of their bodies, talking and caressing each other, happy to be back together.

I search the room, finding Warren leaning against the wall, watching me intently. There’s a hunger in his eyes and I re- evaluate our plans before we go to bed.
