The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Chapter 264

Cyra

After getting our guests settled, I showered and washed my father’s blood off my body. I thought Yorick might join me, but instead, he and the others began mingling with the pack.

As I walk downstairs, I realize just how lucky I am to have this group of people here, these people who have become family to me. Everyone of them is here to support me and they’re doing that by getting to know my pack members.

Yorick turns, smiling as he sees me. I finish making my way down the stairs and walk over to him. There’s an excited, nervous energy in the pack. The intensity of it has heightened since I went to shower.

“Hello beautiful,” he says, wrapping his arm around my waist.

“Hello Lucy, Hello Charles, Hey Charlie,” I say to the pack members that Yorick is talking to. I give a little wave to Charlie who is only three and being held by his mother. He tucks himself up against her, but he’s grinning at me.

“Hello Alpha. We were getting to know your mate and learning about his family,” Charles says.

I look around seeing that everyone seems to be getting along okay, so I can’t quite figure out what the buzzing is in the pack.

“What’s going on?” I ask Yorick and the others.

“Word of Alpha Christer’s demise and how that came about reached the pack while you were showering,” Yorick tells me.

I refocus on my mate. “It was that bad?”

“You don’t mess with our family, and you certainly don’t threaten one of them. Christer threatened Kennedy, and Quirin made a point of letting everyone know exactly what happens to someone who threatens his mate. He also apparently made sure to give his name and that the pack should spread the word,” Yorick says.

I look around the pack again. “That was fast, even by werewolf gossip standards.”

“Quirin is scary when he’s mad. Think feral animal that escaped from his cage and you’re getting close to what he’s like when someone threatens his family. Thankfully, Dad got him to agree to give the pack a choice and they didn’t fight, so Christer is the only casualty,” he says.

“Besides Stellan,” I say, still looking around.
