The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

The ride to my father’s pack, my pack, is tense. I know my father. I know he won’t go down without a fight. But how much fight will he put up? If it comes down to it, will he force me to kill him to take over the pack? Would he rather die than face the consequences of his actions?

Yorick pulls my hand to his mouth. The feel of his warm lips pressing against my skin helps to soothe me. We don’t have to talk anymore. He’s in my head, following along with my thoughts and concerns. He’s a steady, calming presence; something I’ve never had before and never knew I wanted or needed. But now that we’re connected, I know that I never want to be disconnected from his mind again.

‘I’ll be right there with you,‘ he says as we get closer to my pack lands. I know he can feel the tension coiling inside of me. Piper, Zach, Landon, and Chase are in the back of the SUV. They’ve been silent during the ride as well, leaving me to my thoughts.

When his phone rings, I’m glad to hear that it’s Alpha Warren and that he’s on his way to my pack. Yorick’s support and having the support of my friends is amazing. But, knowing that I have someone else who is just as strong and supportive as my mate coming to stand behind me makes me feel even steadier. I trust Alpha Warren to not let me fail on my first day as Alpha.

As we pull up to the packhouse, I know I was right about

“I need to go,” I hear Yorick say to his father.

my father.

My father has called the pack to battle. He is standing in front of the packhouse with what looks like every warrior in the pack standing behind him. Facing off in front of him are two elite fighting teams and two council members. Even from here, I can see the fury on my father’s

face.

As soon as Yorick stops, I jump out of the car and begin heading toward the mess that my father is about to create.

“You have no right to come here, demanding that I step down as Alpha and come with you!” my father growls.

“As council members for the werewolf packs, we have every right, Alpha Arden. As we have already stipulated, you broke our laws. You are to come with us and face a trial of your peers,” the male councilman says.

“I’d like to see you make me,” my father snarls.

I step past the elite fighting teams and the council members, standing in front of them and facing my father and the pack head on.

“STAND DOWN!” I say, pushing my Alpha aura over the pack.

I can see the surprise ripple through them, feel it in the pack link. They’ve never seen me like this. But in the short time that I’ve been at the Academy, I’ve changed considerably.

“You are not Alpha here, Cyra. You do not rule this pack,” my father growls at me.

“I am not Alpha, yet,” I say, clarifying to him and everyone here that I intend to take over this pack. “But I will be, effective today. You betra, me and this pack, Alpha Arden. You embezzled money from one of your companies and when you couldn’t cover it up, you used me as leverage to pay off your debts by trying to sell me off in an alliance agreement with Alpha Christer and Alpha Stellan.”

“You don’t know what you’re taking about,” he growls.
