The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

After finishing up with Beta Kier, I realize that no one else is coming to the hospital. Whether they don’t think I’m capable of helping them or they just don’t trust me, I’m not sure. What hurts the most is that even Quirin didn’t come. He could lead by example, show the pack that I can help to heal them, but it seems that while we may have made some improvements in the bedroom, he still thinks of me as that little pup.

When I walk into the packhouse, I stop, seeing people milling around, burning off the residual tension of the battle. I can smell the injuries on them, smell the blood and seeping wounds that their wolves are having to slowly heal. I feel frustrated tears prick at my eyes. Would it be so terrible to let someone help them?

“Hey, there you are. I was just coming to check on you,” Quirin says, skipping down the stairs. He’s freshly showered, his hair still wet and the scent of soap still clinging to his skin.

“I just got back,” I say softly.

He gives me a pained look. “No one came to the hospital, I’m guessing.”

“Why didn’t you? I can tell you have injuries.”

“Raif is a strong wolf, Kennedy. He can heal me. The others, the warriors in this pack, their wolves are strong too.”

So, it’s not the warriors, it’s my mate. He doesn’t have faith in me, so the pack doesn’t either. I can’t imagine what it took for Arianna to get Kier to come to the hospital tonight. Or maybe he just listens to his mate, unlike mine.

I step past him, feeling too vulnerable to argue right now.

“Did you eat?” he asks.

“I’m good,” I say.

“I’m going to get some food. I can bring you something,” he says.
