The Pack's Doctor novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Finally.

Yara.

I was completely distracted when I went to check on the patients in our hospital. As tired as I should be, I feel energized and antsy. Now that I've made my decision, I want Warren and I want him now.

Because I need the connection to him, I reach out, letting him know about Farrah, Piper, and Laney. Piper is doing okay, but she's still not eating regular food yet, so I want to keep her while she moves into that phase of recovery in case she starts choking. Otherwise, she's good.

"Luna, are you okay?" Anne asks me.

I look at her and see her, Katie, Erica, and Noelle all looking at me.

"Yes, why?"

"You're not mumbling," Erica says.

"Yeah, you always mumble," Katie says.

"We've gotten used to it and now it's weird that you're not. It's just so unusual for you, that we wanted to make sure that you're okay," Anne adds.

"Is it Savannah?" Noelle asks gently.

"No, it's not that, although that was difficult. But..." I stop, looking around at the four of them and sigh. "When I'm done here and Warren's done checking in, we're finally going to mark each other. I guess I'm just worried that something else will get in the way."

Before all the words are out of my mouth, all four women are squealing happily.

"Oh Luna, what are you doing here! Go get your man!" Katie says.

"Really Luna, even I know how much the pack wants you and Alpha Warren to mark each other," Laney says, coming up behind us.

"But the patients..." I begin.

"We'll take care of them. Ohhh, I'm so excited for you! And for our Alpha!" Anne says, rushing up and hugging me.

"Thank you. I guess...I guess I am done here."

"Go," they say, shooing me out the door.

When I get back to the packhouse, I say hello to those who are still up and about, stopping to look at the flowers that are everywhere. Flowers that Warren bought for me, but are now decorating the packhouse and making it feel warm and inviting.

I go to our bedroom and look around. The flowers here make me smile and I take a moment to go smell them before looking at the bed. I don't want to wait anymore. I don't want anything keeping me from marking my mate and making that incredible man mine.

'Warren?' I call him in the mind link. I can tell that he's busy, but he answers me immediately and when I tell him that I'm back, he says he's on his way.

Now, how to make sure that we don't waste time, just in case someone else tries to keep us from completing our bond. I smile as I strip off my clothes. I know I'm not built like a warrior, but Warren has told me more than once that he likes the softness of my body. I hope he likes the way it looks to.

I take a deep breath when I hear him walking to the door, and I lift my chin, hiding my insecurity that he may not like what he sees w h e n he walks in.

When he does, his eyes go straight to the bed, where he must think I'm laying down. When they find me, my fears fall away. His brownish- green eyes turn nearly black in an instant. I don't even have a moment to say hello before his mouth is on mine and my back is on the bed, my mate over top of me.

I open myself, letting Warren in as his mouth devours mine in a hungry, desperate kiss. I begin pulling his shirt over his head, needing to feel his skin against mine. He only pulls away from my mouth long enough to pull the shirt off before he's devouring me again.

I run my hands over his arms and back, feeling the strength of his muscles and the scars of his battles. This man is so powerful and yet, right now, as desperate as he is for me, he's careful not to crush me.

His teakwood scent surrounds me and his hands are everywhere, touching me and caressing me as I wrap my legs around him, needing him even closer.

When he pulls away from our kiss, his eyes have the most possessive look I've ever seen in them before.

"Mine!" Arric growls.

"Yes, I am," Annika purrs at her mate.

He lifts his body, shifting so he can look at me. "So fucking beautiful, and all mine."

I watch him as he hungrily devours my body with his eyes, his hands stroking over my waist and coming up to cup my breast. He looks at me, growling softly before leaning down to take my nipple in his mouth.

I cry out at the warmth of his tongue as he slowly begins licking and sucking my nipple int o a hard peak. When he pulls off, his fingers replace his tongue as he looks up at me.

"Mine!"

I reach up and slide my fingers through his hair, grabbing it and tugging gently. "Me or my nipple?" I ask.

"Yes," he growls before moving to my other breast. I arch into his mouth, sighing and moaning with the pleasure he's sending through my body and straight to my core.
