The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Today when I go to the hospital, I begin going over what supplies I would like to have for the hospital versus what I feel is critical or at least necessary. Some things, like a new x–ray machine, are necessary, but based on the cost, I set it aside for now. Hopefully, I can get Quirin to talk to me about the cost of these things and what the pack can afford at some point in the near future.

I’m pleasantly surprised when Deborah comes in with a laptop that she said Quirin sent over for me. Since I’d forgotten to ask about one, this is perfect.

I log in, finding the information on the medical supply store that we use for ordering. When I look back on previous orders, I see that Deborah was right. They only ever order the basics and most of that is in smaller sizes for pups.

I put in my order, taking a deep breath when I see the cost, and push send. I guess I’ll find out later if Quirin freaks out over the cost.

Christy brings me lunch again today, letting me know that Quirin once again requested that someone bring me food.

“Perhaps I should just put in a standing order to have a sandwich ready for me in the morning. That way Quirin won’t have to worry about it. I’m sure he’s got plenty of other things on his mind,” I say.

“I don’t get the impression that he minds, Luna,” she says.

“Everything going okay with you?” I ask her.

“Yes, Luna. I haven’t seen Arlo. He’s apparently pretty busy.”

“Good. Thank you for bringing this by,” I say.

“You’re welcome. Oh, and Susie said that Samuel is doing well. She wanted me to let you know.”

“Great news, thank you.”

I’m just finished eating when I hear the doors to the front of the hospital slide open. Since hardly anyone ever comes in, I listen.

“Is Luna here?” a woman asks.

“Yeah, what’s going on?” Deborah asks her.

“I’d like to speak to Luna,” she says as I come walking out.

“Hi there. What can I do for you?” I ask, seeing one of Quirin’s warriors carrying her son. This one is older than yesterday but still under ten, so he doesn’t have his wolf.

“Hi, Luna. I was talking to Kelvin during training this morning and he said that you really helped Samuel with the stick he got in his foot. I was wondering if you would take a look at Tommy’s knee for me?”

“Sure, follow me, what’s your name?”

“I’m Emily, Luna.

“Hi Emily. Hi, Tommy,” I say, holding a door open for them. I can’t use the bed until they arrive, but I can put him on the
