The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Chapter 138

Quirin

This is definitely a side of Kennedy that I’m not used to seeing. I step back and pull off my divorts, getting on the table,

“You didn’t mention seeing Beta Kier last night when you returned to the packhouse” I say, watching as she looks at the

wound.

“Would it have mattered? You still wouldn’t have asked me to look at your wounds. You were quite clear about Raft being strong enough to heal you. Your arrogance and the arrogance of this pack is astounding”

“My arrogance?” I ask, biting off a hiss as she begins scraping the wound. She looks at the scraping, tilting it in the lig before nodding and putting the scrapings in a glass cylinder. That looks new too. I frown, how did she know she would pr these things?

“Yes, it’s arrogant to force your wolves to do all the work of healing you when you could help them. You expect them to liger and then expect them to heal you and your wolves do it without any complaint. But you, as the human, could help them and you refuse because of your own arrogance,” she says, stepping away, “Put your shorts on and follow me,” she says sharply, barely looking at me. The anger in her is palpable,

Raif pushes forward, gently grabbing her arm. “Thank you for helping to heal me, little mate,”

I watch her features soften as she looks at us. “You shouldn’t have to do all the work, Raif. Try to convince him next time that I can help.”

He leans forward and presses our forehead to hers. I watch her close her eyes and take a deep breath.

“Come on. I’ll show you what I’m looking at,” she says, her tone softer.

‘You heard our mate. Next time, I’m dragging your ass over here, Raif says to me,

‘Fine. She obviously likes you more than me right now.

‘Maybe because I listen and appreciate what she’s doing. You’re just arguing with her.

I follow her across the hospital, nodding at Deborah who looks uncomfortable having so many people in the hospital. On the other side of the hospital, where I found Kennedy yesterday, she has a small workstation set up. The microscope is sitting in the center of a counter with a chair neatly tucked underneath it.

She pulls out the chair and points. “Have a seat. This will take a moment.”
