The Pack's Doctor novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Gamma.

Warren.

I love that Yara keeps claiming me in front of the pack. I can feel the difference in them, the settled feeling that they get knowing that their leaders are happy together. But more than that, it settles me and makes me feel like a fucking king.

The woman I care about most in this world, admire more than anyone and love more than anything, keeps telling anyone who will listen that she loves me and wants my pup. The first time might not have been intentional, but this time it was very intentional.

When I hear my pack members murmuring 'well done, Alpha', I can't help but smile smugly. That's right. That incredible woman loves ME.

"You know what this packhouse needs?" I ask. Not waiting for a response, I look at Charlie. "More flowers," I say and turn to walk out of the dining room as the room erupts into laughter and cheers.

"Lots and lots of flowers," I say.

"Do you want us to order them for you, Alpha?" a couple of omegas ask me.

I stop, and look around the place, thinking that every pack member should have flowers in their rooms too and if I do what I'm thinking, they'll have a variety to choose from and so will my mate.

I tell them what I want and their eyes go wide.

"Are you sure, Alpha?" they ask. "That's a lot of money."

"Our Luna is back safe and sound, we've eliminated one threat to our pack and have two more in our cells. I think that's cause for some serious celebration, don't you?" I ask.

The room cheers again. "OH! And no one tells our Luna. It's a secret," I say, my smile widening when I think of her response. "And get them here before she gets back from the hospital today if possible."

"Yes, Alpha," the omegas say and I see several more join them as they rush off to get this done.

"Damn," Charlie chuckles as we walk out of the dining hall. "How the hell am I supposed to compete with that?"

"That's your problem," I say, smiling at my Beta. I feel light as fucking air. I know we have a lot going on, a lot yet to do, but damn does it feel good to have my life falling into place.

Charlie and I walk to my office and sit. "Okay, Haynes or Quinton first?"

I ask him.

"Let's start with Haynes. Maybe give him time to talk to Laney before we have our pack ceremony. And if he agrees, then we'll need to schedule his challenge. But if all goes well, we'll have our ranked members, Quinton will be dead, and Simon can watch as you make Yara your Luna and our pack members swear their loyalty and allegiance to a unified leadership before he dies."

"I want to keep him alive until we know Yara is pregnant. I want him to know that he lost all the way around, that it's my pups that will be growing in her belly, my pups that she'll giving birth to, my pups that she'll be nursing and raising," I say, beginning to growl possessively at the idea.

I look at Charlie. "Are you and Noelle going to have pups right away?"

"I don't know yet. We didn't get that far in the conversation. She said she was ready for me to mark her and so I did," he says smiling smugly.

I smile at him. "Okay, let's get Haynes in here. I want Quinton dead before Yara gets back. When she's back, I want to celebrate."

"I'll let the omegas know that we want to have a party tonight," he says and we both stop, staring at each other.

"Did you ever think I would say those words?" he asks softly.

"No. And I never thought we'd be safe enough or healthy enough to even consider having one. We definitely need a party. A BIG one! Tell them to keep it a secret as best they can. Let's make that a surprise for the pack. They deserve this as much as we do," I tell him.

While Charlie mind links the omegas, I mind link Haynes.

'Can you come to my office?'

'Yes, Alpha,' he says. There's a knock on the door just as Charlie refocuses.

"They're thrilled. I don't know what they're going to do or how much it's going to cost us, but I told them money was not a problem."

"Let's hope it's not," I say before turning to the door. "Come in."

"Alpha, Beta, you wanted to speak to me?"

"Haynes, come in," I say, gesturing for him to sit beside Charlie.

He does, looking from Charlie to me, hopeful energy emanating from him.

"So, you've had to lead the pack a couple of times while Charlie and I were out. How did that go?" I begin.

"I think it went well. I know I have a lot to learn still, but I felt more comfortable the second time you left me in charge."

"How about leading the group to find Simon?" Charlie asks him.

"That felt really good. The warriors seemed to respond well to me. We were methodical, and careful and obviously, we found him."

"What's going on with you and Laney?" I ask.

"She wanted to take things slow, although now that her sister is marked and mated, I think she's feeling a bit out of her element. She's been watching over Beta Noelle for so long, that she doesn't really know what to do with herself now that she's safe and has someone else watching over her."
