The Pack's Doctor novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Possessive.

Warren.

I wasn't surprised when we had several of our warriors submit requests to battle Haynes. I would have been more surprised if they hadn't. The pack hierarchy is built on strength and leadership. Haynes has shown his ability to lead and to learn what he doesn't know, but now he'll have to prove his strength. I'm not worried. If I didn't think he had the strength to defeat the other warriors, I wouldn't have chosen him as my Gamma, and neither would Charlie.

After waking with my mate lying over top of me, and giving her my best effort to ensure she's carrying my pup, I head downstairs to call Harold.

"Good morning, Alpha Warren," he answers.

"It is a good morning, indeed, Alpha Harold."

"It sounds like it. May I ask what's made you so happy?"

I tell him about our pack's party last night, celebrating our strength and togetherness.

"That sounds...incredible. Perhaps I should consider doing something like that here," he says.

"I honestly didn't realize how much our pack needed it, Harold. If you have the chance, I would suggest doing something like that. The feeling in my pack this morning is just amazing. It's unlike anything I've ever felt before."

"I'm very happy for you. I'll definitely have to think about that and what we could do here. But I'm guessing you didn't call to just tell me that,"

he says.

"No, I called for two reasons. First, to tell you that I executed Quinton yesterday."

"How are you doing after that? Executing another Alpha is never easy,"

he says, seeming to understand the emotions I went through yesterday.

"No, it wasn't easy. Maybe it's because I don't consider Simon an Alpha, but torturing him is easy. Killing Quinton...honestly, it sucked. He and I, in a different life, could have been friends."

"The two of you had a lot in common. You were both passionate about your packs, you were strong leaders and great fighters. I think you're right. It just goes to show you how two people who are so similar can go down very different paths. Where is his son?"

"As far as I know, Luna Yasmin moved the two of them back to their pack."

"Perhaps Henry and I will go see him, see if they want to join our pack.

Perhaps we can change the direction of the son, so he doesn't end up like his father."

"I think a conversation like that would be better coming from you since I'm the one who executed his father," I say.

"I agree. I'll make plans to take a trip over to their pack and talk to them."

"Which brings me to the second reason I'm calling. I wanted to invite you and Henry to my pack to be witness to our pack ceremony as we bring in al of our new ranked members. I'll be honest, I've never had an aly before, but it feels like the kind of thing you invite your allies to attend. It would also give us a chance to talk in person about the ideas I have for taking Brady out and of course, you'd be closer to Quinton's pack if you were here," I say.

"I would love that. And I think Henry would too. Would it be okay if I brought Farrah. We're still building a relationship, but I think it might be good for her to see what a strong, healthy pack can look like."

"We'd be happy to have your mate. She didn't really spend any time here when she first came in. I think it would be good for her to see what we're building here. Maybe it will help her to see what's possible in your pack now that our war is finally ending."

It's quiet a moment. "I never thought I'd see the end of the war, but you're right. Thomas and Quinton are gone, Simon is out, and that only leaves Brady. Once he's gone..."

"Peace. And that's what I'm striving for."

"That's what WE'RE striving for. We're allies, remember," he says.

"Yeah, we are. And that feels good too. I'll have three rooms made up for you, just in case. If you'd like to come Friday, we'll have the ceremony on Saturday and you can head over to Quinton's old pack on Sunday, if that works for you."

"That'd be great. I'll see you then."

"See you then," I hang up, and mentally reach out to Yara. She's humming with happiness. Goddess the happiness in the pack is making me feel high.

When I step out into the packhouse, I see smiles on the faces of my pack members. People look hopeful, the camaraderie from last night continuing. Some omegas and warriors are talking about where to put the plants that remain in the packhouse.

"Why don't you take some over to the hospital? Your Luna spends a lot of her time there," I suggest.

"Great idea!"

I have work to do, but the feeling coming from the pack feels so good, that I spend my day going around and helping others, spending time with my pack members and getting reacquainted with them, listening to them tell me about their families.

I get involved in helping some warriors who are rebuilding the areas around that pack that have been destroyed in our wars. I'm having such a good time that I completely lose track of time. It's a warm day with the sun shining down, so most of us have stripped down to shorts as we work.

"That sexy as fuck man is all mine. With a body like that, he'll be giving me lots of pups," I hear Yara murmur behind me.

I stand up, looking at my warriors who all try and fail to hide their smiles and snickers. I don't bother trying to hide mine.

I look behind me. "Did you say something, my love?"

"No," she says. Her arms are crossed over her body and she's leaning against a wall, watching me. Even from here, I can see that her eyes are dark with desire.
