The Pack's Doctor novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Saying Goodbye.

Yara.

I look up and see Warren's dark eyes, hot with desire, burning into me.

"What?" I ask, but it comes out more like a squeak.

He turns, focusing on me more intently. I feel heat flushing my cheeks and spreading through my body.

"What did you just say?"

"I didn't say anything," I say, looking around and realizing that Savannah is focusing VERY intently on Harold's arm, her lips twitching, and Harold is smirking at me.

"Oh Luna, you most certainly did say something. I'm beginning to understand what Rebecca meant about your murmurings being funny.

Do you really not realize you said that out loud?" Harold asks me.

What had I said? I was listening to Warren who was being the most incredible man I've ever met, acting like a surrogate father to Henry and I'd thought....oh goddess!

I look up at Warren, and I know my eyes are wide. A smile spreads across his face.

"Yeah, that's what I heard."

"I...I..." I'm saved as warriors come pouring in with wounded.

"I have to work!" I squeak, standing up quickly.

"I know," he says standing. It suddenly occurs to me that he's naked and that he must have REALLY liked what I said. The evidence of that is standing up between us.

He steps up to me, his hard length pressing against me as he cups my cheek. "I know I keep saying this, but soon, very fucking soon, my mark will be on your neck."

I nod, unable to speak with his warm, naked body so close to mine. His body isn't the only one responding.

He leans in, running his nose over my jaw before coming to my ear.

"And then I'll give you as many of those pups as you want," he whispers.

Heat flows south, pooling in my core and soaking my undergarments and pants. I feel him take a deep breath, smelling my arousal.

"I see we're in agreement. Go, do what you do. I'll do what I do, and then we're heading home my mate. It's time."

I nod again as he steps away.

Just then, Beta Franklin rushes in. "SAVANNAH!"

She pops up from where she's sitting on the floor beside Alpha Harold.

"Franklin?" she says.

He sighs in relief then looks around. "Alphas, I have the warriors collecting the dead to burn. I just..." he stops, looking at Savannah.

"You needed to check on your mate, Franklin. We understand that.

Savannah, why don't you take a break and reassure your mate that you're okay?" Harold says.

Savannah looks at me and I look at the wound. "Just cover it. It'll be okay for a few minutes."

I turn back, seeing the injured coming in quickly now.

"I'm here, Luna," Rebecca says, coming up to me.

"Okay, let's do this," I say, moving into the organized chaos that is a hospital.

Several injuries were bad enough that they required surgery. After the first one, I saw that Alpha Harold was stitched and bandaged and was walking around talking to his warriors, helping to keep them calm and reassure them that all is well.

After the second surgery, Warren, Henry, and Franklin returned, all having soot on them from burning the dead. I wanted to hug Warren, but I needed to stay as sterile as possible, so after checking to make sure he hadn't sustained any injuries, I went into the third surgery.

When I came out after that surgery, Savannah had nearly cleared out the waiting room and other than a couple of warriors, all that was left was Alpha Harold, a sleeping Henry, Beta Franklin, and Warren.

As he always does when I finish a long, grueling day in the hospital, he stands and opens his arms to me. I walk into them and let him wrap his strength and love around me.

We stand there a moment, just enjoying each other. Warren lays his head on top of mine and we both just breathe in the others' scents.
