The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Chapter 141

Kennedy

After a grueling evening of scraping injuries and cleaning out silver from wounds, I felt exhausted.

When the last warrior left, I checked with Deborah and told her to head to bed. I have no idea how late it is, I just know that I’m exhausted. I finish cleaning up and check the room Deborah was working in before walking out to the main entrance. I’m turning off lights as I go, barely able to keep myself standing when I smell him.

“You look exhausted.”

I look up and see my mate in the dim light of the waiting room.

“What are you doing here?” I ask.

“Waiting for you. I thought you’d be done earlier but when I got here, there were still several warriors who needed to be

seen.”

“A lot of them came in tonight. I was surprised, but glad,” I tell him.

His eyes narrow and he takes my hand, pulling it to him and looking at my palm.

“Why do you have a wound that isn’t healed?”

I shrug, not sure I can talk about it without breaking down. I’m too tired right now.

He looks at me, then back at my hand before pulling it to his lips and kissing it. “Some of the warriors accepted you as their Luna because they don’t plan to be here this weekend?”

I nod, feeling myself losing the battle with my tears. Suddenly, Quirin scoops me into his arms.

“Someone has worn herself out today,” he says. I nod and lean against his chest.

“Thank you for healing the pack,” he says as he turns to carry me out of the hospital. I lean over and turn off the last of the lights before curling up against him again.

“You’re welcome. I’m just glad they came. There were too many of them that had injuries, injuries that were getting infected and not healing. Too many of your pack’s wolves were beating themselves up, overworking themselves to try and heal a wound that was never going to heal without medical attention.”

He stops and after a moment, I look at him. He has lifted his face to the night sky. His eyes are closed and he’s just breathing in the air.

“Is everything okay?”

He gives me a half grin before looking down at me. “I don’t think I’ve ever stopped to enjoy quiet moments like this,” he

says.

I realize that it is very quiet. It must be very late if the pack is quiet and only the patrols are running. The moon is high and it’s a cool night. It would be perfect if I wasn’t exhausted.
