The Pack's Doctor novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95: Finding Dr. Stephens.

Warren.

As expected, we ended up having to send a large group of warriors back as soon as we blew the bombs. I'd heard Carson screaming in my head and told some of my warriors with minimal injuries to get him to Yara as quickly as possible. I have to hope that my mate can work the miracles she always seems to and because I know she'll do everything she can, I remain focused on the battle.

It's been long enough since they last attacked my pack, that Brady's warriors are healed. But Franklin and Harold's men severely decimated their numbers. Even with the number of wolves that we're having to send back to the pack, we're still outnumbering them. Add to that, we have two Alphas and two Betas leading this attack on four fronts and it doesn't take Arric long to get to the packhouse. I send half of the warriors i my group to help the others as I prepare to enter the packhouse. With Brady, you never know what types of traps he's set.

'Alpha, Franklin and I have Alpha Brady. Do you want us to kill him?'

Charlie asks.

'No. Keep him contained if you can. If you can't, kill him. But I'd rather make it official in front of whoever is left from his pack when we're done here,' I tell him.

While I'm talking to Charlie, Harold and his group come running up from where they entered the pack lands.

He shifts and looks at me. "I told Franklin to keep Alpha Brady alive for now."

"I did as well."

He nods and we both enter the packhouse carefully. Both of our noses are in the air, sniffing for metal.

"Spread out, stay alert," I say. The words have just left my mouth when I take a step and I hear the click of a trap releasing. I yank my leg back, barely getting out of the way before the spike shoots up in front of me high enough that I catch it in the air. I turn, holding it out to the others who are behind me and Harold.

"Stay alert!" I say again. We carefully make our way inside, periodically hearing the sound of a trap releasing. I hear one of my warriors scream and I send him back to the pack. Yara or Savannah will have to get the spike out of his foot.

I've just about decided that I've figured out the pattern for the traps when I begin hearing pack members calling out that they've found the safe rooms.

"Harold, have you figured out the pattern?" I ask him, looking across to where he's making his way through the packhouse, clearing this first floor with me.

"I think so. It's like a chess board and the placement of the traps is where the knight could move," he says.

"Yes. Two straight ahead and one to the right or left and then again from that position."

"Exactly."

I look around and start grabbing things that are heavy enough to spring the traps as Harold starts doing the same. The traps stop several steps from the safe rooms.

"How many?" I ask.

"We have two over here, Alpha, and I believe that we have two over there," one of my warriors says.

I turn and see Harold approach those safe rooms.

"Get them open," I say. "Remember the rules!"

"Yes, Alpha," the warriors say as they start breaking down the doors.

I hear someone come in behind us, dragging someone with them and turn to see Charlie and Franklin toss Brady inside the packhouse. He screams until he realizes that the traps have already been sprung.

"Damn, I'd say you squeal like a girl, but the girls I know would have my balls if I insulted them like that," Franklin says to Brady.

"Your mate definitely would," Charlie says, stepping in and looking around.

"The warriors?" I ask.

"Dead or being run down," Charlie says just as we hear another explosion. I tense, waiting for a tether to snap or the sound of a warrior in pain. When I don't, I look at Harold and he's giving me the same look that I'm giving him. I look down at Brady.

"Sounds like you lost another one," I tell him.

He growls at me as I hear the metal of the safe room door behind me begin to give way. I know the moment they break through because the scent of fear becomes pungent in the air around me.

I turn and walk to the door, waiting for my warriors to finish ripping it apart. When they do, they step back.

"My name is Alpha Warren. Your Alpha is defeated and your warriors are dead."

I can hear the sounds of keening and crying so I know that some of the women in this safe room have warriors that were killed.

"If you attack us, we will kill you. If you come quietly, you'll be allowed to live and join my pack or Alpha Harold's, or go rogue."

I hear Harold giving a similar speech to the ones in the safe room across from me.

"Come out of the safe room and go sit outside the packhouse," I tell them.
