The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Chapter 181

Quirin

Even though my mate isn’t strong enough yet for us to have sex, just having her love in my mind makes me feel like I’m walking on air.

After our shower, she was feeling tired, so I put her back to bed and let her know I’d say goodbye to her brother and Henry for her.

“I can send Connor up to say goodbye if you’d like,” I say, pulling the blankets over her. “And I’ll let your mother know that she can come up whenever she’s ready.”

“I’ll text Connor. He’ll understand. Tell them both I hope to see them again very soon,” she says. I press my lips to her forehead just as there’s a knock at the door.

“That will be your breakfast,” I say, walking to the door.

I smell her before I open the door. “And apparently, your mother is as anxious to check on you and I am to have her check on you,” I say, opening the door to Luna Yara.

“I caught your omegas making Kennedy’s breakfast and thought I’d join her while you and Warren talk,” she says. I step aside and let her in. She stops and tilts her cheek up to me.

I frown and look at Kennedy. “She wants you to kiss her cheek. She would have kissed yours if her hands weren’t full.”

“Oh,” I say, leaning over and kissing her cheek.

“Have a nice day, Quirin, and don’t worry about Kennedy. I’ll make sure she’s fine,” she says briskly as she walks toward the bed.

‘She considers you her son now, Quirin. You’ll have to get used to kissing her cheek, Kennedy says in the mind link. She’s smiling at me, feeling my confusion, surprise, and the bit of pleasure I feel at having a second mother figure in my life now.

Luna Yara turns and looks at me. “Did you need something, Quirin?”

“No. Y–you have a good day too,” I stutter as I step out of the room.

“He is such a dear,” she says as I close the door. I’m not sure if she’s talking to herself or Kennedy. Either way, I’m confident that no one has ever said that about me before.

When I get downstairs, I see Connor and Warren standing by the front door.

“How’s Kennedy?” Connor asks.
