The Pack's Doctor novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Career Paths.

Yara.

Haynes congratulations party was wonderful. The happiness in the pack is contagious and everyone laughed and enjoyed themselves. It feels like the bonds that weave a pack together are strengthening and the pack itself is becoming stronger because of it.

I was even more excited when Charlie and Noelle pulled Warren and I aside to tell us that they are expecting and that they wanted to announce it at the party.

"Do you mind waiting until the pack ceremony?" Warren asked.

"No, we can wait. I think," Charlie says, smiling at Noelle. He looks like I feel, ready to burst with the news. And apparently, I already did. "But is there a reason you don't want us to add to the celebratory feeling tonight?"

Wa r r e n had smiled down at me.

"What?" Noelle gasped, reaching out to take my arm. "You're...?"

I nod excitedly and we'd hugged, doing a strange jumping, rocking motion while we hugged and our mates just smiled at us.

"You're good with both of us announcing together?" Warren asked Charlie.

"I hope you're planning a HUGE celebration. This pack is going to go nuts!"

Warren's happiness and excitement had rippled through the bond. I love feeling my mate so happy.

"How about Noelle and I take care of the party arrangements and you two do. whatever you do," I tell them.

Warren smiled at me, then looked at Charlie. "I guess we'll get Haynes and do 'whatever we do'."

"Yeah, whatever that is," Charlie smirked, winking at his mate.

I looked at Noelle who raised an eyebrow. "Running the pack?" she asks.

"Managing the finances?" I add.

"Keeping us safe?"

"Keeping our warriors strong?"

"Keeping us fed," she and I begin counting off all the things our mates do for us and the pack.

Warren pulled me to him. "I'm pretty sure it's OUR mates who keep our pack strong, but the rest...yeah. And let's not forget our most important job."

"What's more important than the pack's safety?" Noelle asks.

"Loving our mates," Charlie says.

"Making sure we give them pups," Warren says.

"Making sure they're always happy."

"Making sure they always have flowers."

"Making sure they know they are more important to us than anyone."

Noelle and I begin laughing. "Okay, okay. Damn, you two. You should have been brothers."

"We're brothers from different mothers," Charlie says, smiling.

"Let's go, bro. Let's go find our little bro and harass him," Warren says.

"YES! That's what big brothers do," Charlie says, excitedly.

Noelle and I watch them walk off to find Haynes.

"Is it me, or is their happiness intoxicating?" I ask.

"I feel like I'm getting high on it," she murmurs.
