The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Chapter 230

Yorick

I watch Cyra, basking in the look of absolute love on her face as the phone rings.

"Hello brother. To what do I owe this surprise call?" Connor answers.

"I have a very important question for you," I tell him. Since Cyra is sitting in my

lap, I know she can hear Connor's side of this conversation as well.

Connor laughs, thinking I'm being funny. I'm probably about to knock him off his chair or whatever he's currently sitting on.

"Oh yeah. What's that?"

"If I needed you to call the pack to war, would you do it?" I ask him.

There's silence on the other end of the call. When he responds, his tone is much more serious.

"Are you calling the pack to war?"

"Not yet. I'm trying to avoid it, but I need to know that I can count on you if I need you."

"The pack will always support you, Yorick. If you say you have to go to war, then the pack will be there. Now, why don't you tell me what this is all about."

I watch Cyra's mouth drop open in surprise. I knew she didn't believe me, but I know my family. I know my brother. We support each other. Always. No questions asked. Well, there may be some questions.

"I met my mate."

"I'd say congratulations, but you're talking about going to war, so... wait. Is this why Wendy was asking me about alliance bonds?" he asks. I'm not surprised my brother connected those dots so quickly. There's a reason he's the Alpha of our pack and it's not just because he was the first-born son.

"Yes. Cyra's father created an alliance bond with a neighboring pack last year without her knowledge."

Connor growls. "I'm assuming she was underage at the time."
