The Pack's Doctor novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Taking Charge.

Yara.

I have no idea what Dr. Stevens is doing here. Well, actually, I'm pretty sure he thought he was going to come in and take over the hospital. What I don't understand is why he tried to do that in front of Arric? Warren was clear with him that the hospital was mine.

I must be muttering out loud again because Savannah keeps glancing up at me and smiling as she helps me to close off the internal bleeding that Charlie had. That's why his heart was struggling. He was losing blood as fast as his heart was pumping "Okay," I say, stepping back. "Close him up, let's keep a close eye on him. If Dr. Stevens is back, how many more nurses can we expect?"

"Only two more Luna. That's all we have."

"One doctor and five nurses for a huge pack of fighting warriors.

Okay, we'll make it work. Also, who does the ordering for medical supplies?"

"I do, Luna."

"Let's talk, sooner rather than later. We're missing some things that we need in the supply room."

"Yes Luna. I'll tell you, I'm pretty sure I know what's missing and Dr. Stevens told me we didn't need those items, that they were a waste of money."

"Right, just like stitching up wounds is a waste of time," I growl, walking out.

"Piper," I call, glancing around the room to make sure no one else looks bad, glancing at Arric who is lounging on the gurney as if he's a lion surveying his kingdom.

I hear some chuckles from the warriors and I frown. Did I just say that out loud?

"Yes, Luna?" Piper asks, walking up to me.

"I need a report. Did any other serious injuries come in that I need to take care of before I take Alpha Warren in for surgery?" I ask.

"No, Luna."

I focus on her. "Nothing happened with Dr. Stevens, did it?"

"No, Luna. Alpha made sure he left."

"Good. And no one else caused you any problems?"

"No, Luna. I think they're all in awe of you," she says, whispering the last part.

"Well, they'll be in awe of my anger if they mess with you.

Where's Anna?"

"I'm here, Luna. I made some extra triage kits just in case more warriors come in."

I turn and look at Arric.

"Are there more coming?" I ask. I wouldn't think that Warren would leave warriors out there if they needed help.

"Alpha says there are some minor injuries to the patrols, but he was just getting ready to switch them out with some of the healthier warriors here that you've healed."

"It wasn't me, it was my nurses, thank them," I say, looking around, wondering which warriors he's going to send out.

"Alpha says he believes that every warrior in this room and probably the nurses as well would disagree with that statement,"

Haynes says. I turn and look at him, but he refuses to look at me as his lips twitch. I narrow my eyes at Arric, but the bastard begins purring at me. Loudly.

I turn and look at the room. "He's right, Luna, or Dr. Luna, whatever you want us to call you. All these nurses have been working in the hospital for years. It's not them that has us healing, although now that you're here, they're being allowed to treat us as they've wanted to," one warrior says.

"He's right Luna. Dr. Stevens always restricted what we could do to help the warriors. You being here, empowering us like you have in such a short time, is already making a huge impact on the warriors' healing," Piper says.

"I haven't done anything," I murmur, feeling completely inadequate in the face of so much injury, but I'm glad I've helped some.

"Alright Warren, who are you sending? I want to check them out and give my approval before you do," I say.

The warriors begin stepping up to me. I'm assuming he's telling them in the mind link to come get my approval.

"You're good," I say to the first and second warriors who approach me.

"Not you, you're ready yet," I say to the third. He isn't happy and begins to argue with me.

"Luna, I..."

"I said no. Have a seat, warrior."

"Yes, Luna."

I clear the others that Warren sends over to me before turning to look at him.

"Are you ready, Alpha?" I ask him.

He chuffs.

"Piper, Savannah is finishing up with Beta Charlie. When she's done, she can help triage. If you need me, let me know. I'm guessing our stubborn Alpha here won't let me put him under again," I say, turning to look at him. He shakes his head no, he won't let me sedate him.

I sigh and turn back to her. "So, if you need me, I can come quickly."
