The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Chapter 196

Yorick

"Happy Birthday!"

The crowd of family, pack members, and neighboring Alphas all wish me a happy birthday.

"You've got this," Wendy, my sister, says in my ear before stepping away from me. I just told her my plans for the next year. I intend to announce it to my father and brother, Connor, the current Alpha, tonight.

"Yorick!" my youngest sister, Yvonne, part of the second set, of twins that my parents had, says, running over. She's thirteen but she launches herself into my arms, confident that I'll catch her. As the youngest, she's right. None of us have ever dropped her.

"Unh!" I grunt. "You're getting a bit too old for that, Vonny," I tell her.

"Quirin never complains," she says, referencing my older sister's mate. Now that he and Kennedy have found their way together, he's quickly becoming the 'favorite' brother for my youngest brother and sister.

"Quirin has a pack of pups that are constantly crawling all over him, so what's one more," I say as I put her back on her feet.

"You used to be fun, Yorick," she says, sticking her tongue out at me.

"I still love you, Big Bro," Yana says, hugging me. "Happy birthday!"

I go around the room, saying hello to my family, my friends, Alpha Quirin, Alpha Henry, his father, Alpha Harold, and several others from his pack who originally came from ours.

I get quite a few offers from she-wolves on ways I can spend the rest of my birthday, all of which I politely decline.

When everyone is having a good time, Connor approaches me.
