The Pack's Nemesis (Quirin's Story) novel Chapter 26

Kennedy

I’ve just come downstairs, still feeling disappointed that Quirin didn’t finish what I tried to start this morning, when one of the omegas comes up letting me know that my medical shipment has arrived.

“That was fast. Tell them I’ll meet them at the hospital,” I say, knowing I ordered a lot.

Christy shoves a breakfast sandwich into my hand as I walk out and the rest of my morning is spent organizing and putting away the supplies that I ordered. I’m pleasantly surprised that everything that I ordered was approved.

The only thing that I didn’t get was the microscope which is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I sigh, wishing I could look at Tommy’s tissue samples, but it will have to wait until I get back from Connor’s Alpha ceremony.

The afternoon is spent organizing the two rooms that I decided to put in order so that if any more pups come in, they can actually sit on the beds instead of the counters.

When I finish for the day, I head back to the packhouse. I need to pack for this weekend, making sure that I have everything for Connor’s Alpha ceremony and that I make a list of what I’ll need to bring back.

When I go back up to our room, I realize that there really isn’t any room for my furniture. We already have plenty of dresser space that can accommodate my things here, except maybe a dresser that I could put in the closet, something to hide those birthday unmentionables until I can dispose of them. After Quirin’s weird response to the picture with him and Henry in it, I wouldn’t want him to go nuts seeing lingerie that another man bought for me.

The rest of the evening is much the same as our other nights. I have dinner with Quirin and the pack, and check in on Tommy who is starting to heal.

“Luna, I don’t know what you did, but it’s already working,” Emily tells me showing me Tommy’s knee.

“I’m not sure I did anything, but I’m glad that he’s healing. The microscope didn’t come today so when we get back after being away this weekend, I’ll check to see what it looks like. Hopefully, though, it will continue to heal and we won’t have to worry about it.” I tell her, looking over the wound on his knee and seeing that it really is healing.

I’ve just turned to go sit down when Samuel calls out to me.

“Luna, look!” He rushes over and I notice that he’s not limping at all.

“It looks like you’re healing as well,” I say to him, picking him up and putting him on my hip.

“Almost completely healed,” he says. I look down seeing that he’s wearing shoes.

“And I see that you’re wearing shoes now. I’m sure your parents are happy about that,” I tell him as Kelvin comes walking

over.

“Yes, we are,” he says, taking Samuel from me. “Thanks again, Luna.”

I shrug. “I didn’t do much. I just pulled a big splinter out of his foot.”

After dinner, Quirin takes me out to spar with me. Once again, Echo and I take every opportunity to brush up against him but even though he seems to be affected, he still didn’t shower with us and still didn’t do anything after he showered. He just crawled into bed behind me.

The next morning, we’re up early as usual. Quirin goes to warrior training and I go to the hospital, making sure everything

is in order before we leave. I know it’s only a couple of days, but if something happens, I want to know that Deborah can handle it. After breakfast, we pack up the car and make our way back to my family’s pack.

“You look pretty excited, Little Pup,” Quirin says as he drives.

“I’ve never been away from my family this long. It will be so good to see them,” I say.

“Did you get your brother something for this ceremony?” he asks me.

“I did. It’s in my room back home. I got him a bourbon glass etched with Alpha Connor and today’s date,” I tell him.

“My apologies, Alpha, Luna. Welcome home.”

My dad catches me first, wrapping me in his warm, strong embrace.
