The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Chapter 139

Kennedy

I feel like Quirin is finally starting to recognize that I’m not just some silly little pup, but I’m actually an intelligera wor that can help the pack. At least, it feels that way. He apologized, which was totally unexpected but very much appreciated

When we walk into the packhouse, I take a deep breath. I’m guessing that this conversation isn’t going to go over well. This pack is very arrogant. I wasn’t joking when I called Quirin that earlier. That’s all it is, arrogance that the human sits hack and leaves the brunt of the work to their wolf.

“It looks like we’re on a mission,” Beta Kier says, walking up to us. “Anything I need to know about?”

Yeah, Kennedy has found silver in two of our pack member’s wounds. Since she didn’t find any in your wounds, she believes, and I’m inclined to agree, that this is Jasper’s doing.”

“How would that even work?” he asks me.

I give him the quick version of my suspicions as we walk into the dining hall.

“Everyone, listen up. I have two announcements,” Quirin begins. Two?

“First, I intended to announce this last night, but obviously we were attacked. Everyone knows that this weekend is Kennedy’s Luna ceremony. For those of you who don’t know, her family will be here and will be staying one to two nights. I have no intention of allowing anyone to cause problems this weekend. This is Kennedy’s weekend, and you will respect that If you do not believe that you can be civil and respect Kennedy’s family and my guests this weekend, you may leave the pack for the weekend. However, you will be required to accept Kennedy as your Luna before you leave, or you will not be allowed back in the pack.”

This is so not the way to start the conversation about me finding the silver powder. If anything, this is going to make the pack members feel put off and unwilling to let me help them.

“Where would we go? Back out to the wilderness?” someone asks and I sigh. They’re already planning on leaving.

“I’ve spoken to Alpha Henry and he is willing to take in anyone wanting to leave during the days that we celebrate Kennedy officially becoming our Luna. He cannot guarantee that he’ll have rooms for all of you, but you would be welcome to sleep on his pack lands where you would be safe.”

I feel nearly all eyes turn to look at me. At this rate, it’ll just be my family and Henry’s at my Luna ceremony. Great. I wish Quirin had mentioned this to me before. And when did he and Henry even have time to talk about this?

‘Probably when he was here the other day,’ Echo says distractedly, watching the pack members. I can feel that she’s upset that so many of our pack members seem to want to leave. It’s just another reminder that they don’t respect us.

“If you have any questions about that, come see me or Beta Kier. The second announcement is that your Luna has found something that impacts all of us. Kennedy, do you want to explain it?” he asks me.

I go through the process of how I found the silver, first on the pup and then on Warrior Lane without mentioning any names. I tell them my suspicions about the silver powder and let them know that if any of them have wounds that their wolves can’t heal, they need to see me for medical attention.

“So, does anyone have wounds that need to be treated by Kennedy?”

I’m not surprised when no one says yes. Once again, this pack has become too arrogant.

“No one?” he asks again. When no one responds, he nods. “Okay then.” He turns to leave, but I’m not done.
