The Pack's Doctor novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91: Preparing for War.

Yara.

The pack has been preparing for war. I insisted on completing physicals on all of our pack's warriors to ensure that they are healthy and able to fight. It also worked out that two warriors who didn't know, found out that they were pregnant and are now required to remain in the pack.

Apparently all the celebrating that we've been doing means more pups in our pack. As long as it doesn't cause problems with mate bonds, I'm thrilled.

When Harold returns with his warriors, I'm excited to see Savannah again.

"Savannah!" I say, rushing to hug her when I see her. I see that Warren has followed her over to the pack hospital, and I know it's because he loves seeing me happy. It's not like Savannah doesn't know her way to the hospital.

"It's good to see you, Luna! Although, I wish it was under better circumstances," she says, hugging me tightly.

"How are you?" I ask her, looking over at my mate and giving him a big, happy smile. The one I know he's been waiting for. He winks at me and turns to go back to work.

"T'm good, Luna. I'm pregnant," she says, excitedly.

I squeal, hugging her again.

"I understand that you are too?" she says.

"Yes! And while you're here, I'd love for you to do an ultrasound on me.

It's not easy trying to do it to yourself."

"Tell me! I'll do yours if you'll do mine," she says.

"Deal!"

She says hello to everyone, spending a few minutes asking them questions about themselves and how they are doing. She meets Katie's new pup, and as I watch her, I can see that she's grown into her role as Beta. She's a great leader, taking time to speak with everyone, giving them individual attention before turning to the next person. She's a natural, which I guess makes sense since she's mated to a Beta.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Tell me what we've got here," she says.

Noelle and I walk her through our plan for how we want the hospital to run. Since we know that we'll have a lot of injuries, we're keeping our operating side as is and stocking each room, then we've opened up the other side for lesser injuries, setting up cots so that the warriors have a place to rest other than the floor while they are waiting for their turn to be seen.

"You, me, Noelle, and either Piper or Anna, whoever you choose, will be in the operating rooms. Anything you can't handle, I get. Katie won't be able to help because she has a newborn, but Erica agreed that Katie could watch her pups and she'll be here to help triage."

"Piper, are you strong enough to work in the OR?" Savannah asks her.

"Yes, Beta. My voice is still raspy, but finding my mate has helped me get stronger, faster."

"I can't believe everything I've missed," she says, shaking her head.

"Okay Piper, you'll be with me."

"Anna, that means you and Erica will be running triage for everyone coming in and then treating less critical injuries. I want the two of you to work together today to make sure you know where everything is, that you have everything you need ready to go and in place. Savannah, you, me, and Noelle will be assessing your pack's warriors today."

"T've already started the assessment, Luna. Before we left, I had to tell several of our warriors that they were sitting this one out. We're not as strong as this pack is yet, but we're getting there," she tells me.

"That's okay. We'll see what we've got."

It's a long day, one that is long for everyone. Warren, Harold, Charlie, and Franklin are working with the warriors, going over their battle plans and how they intend to attack Brady and his pack. They will each take a group and attack the pack on four sides, blowing the bombs and booby-traps and then destroying Brady and his pack.

I only had to tell three of Harold's warriors that they weren't strong enough to fight. They weren't happy about it, but Savannah insisted. As their Beta female, they listened to her and calmed down.

Haynes and Laney will remain in the pack to make sure the warriors get through quickly and the pack remains safe. Because we will have more warriors in our pack, Harold brought Henry and Farrah here as well. Farrah wants to fight, but so far, I think Harold has convinced her to s t a y.

After everyone was assessed, Savannah and I got the ultrasound machine and went into a room. I did hers first, excited to see her pup.

"How far along are you?" I ask her.

"A week maybe, possibly two. I'm not sure."
