The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Chapter 160

Quirin

Life is about as perfect as it could be. Well, besides still needing to treat our pack lands to get rid of the silver

and dealing with Slater who is set to get out of the cells tomorrow, my life is better than | ever thought it could

be. And it’s all thanks to that little mate of mine.

True to his word, Alpha Warren sentsinformation on how | could treat our pack lands to eliminate the

silver. I'd looked it over and while he was right about it being expensive, it looks like it would work. Now it's more

about disposing of Jasper’s silver powder supply and then starting the long, arduous job of clearing the silver

from my land.

When my scouts return, lettingknow that they think they've found Jasper’s supply. I'm even more excited.

“Where is it?” | ask.

“He's got this barn looking structure on his pack lands. We were able to sneak in and get to the barn. It looks like

they have the silver powder laid out in enclosed trays. I'm guessing that they bring them when the cto

attack and then the pack members shift and step in it,” one scout says.

“Yeah, they have these on the wall. I'm guessing they put them on before they step in the silver to protect the

pads of the wolves’ paws,” another scout says, tossing something that looks like a fingerless glove for a wolf

onto my desk.

| pick it up and hiss as | feel the residual silver on the glove. “I'd say you're right. Good work. So what we really

need to do is start a fire and let that silver combust in the barn,” | say.

“I didn’t think silver was flammable,” Kier says. | wanted him to be part of this conversation so we can decide on

our next

steps.

“It isn't in solid form, but it is in powder form. I'm guessing Jasper didn’t think about that,” | say, giving him a

vicious smile.

“Well, | think it’s about tthat Jasper got a taste of his own medicine,” Kier says.

| look at my scouts. “Take the night off. Your Beta and | will decide how we want to proceed.”

“Thank you, Alpha,” they say before walking out.

“Did you want to talk about this now or after dinner?” Kier asks.

| look at the time. “After dinner. We need to get to warrior training.”

We finish afternoon warrior training and head inside as the food begins to cout. | look around, expecting to

see Kennedy, but she’s not back yet.

“I'm going to take a shower before Kennedy arrives,” | tell Kier, turning to go upstairs.

| stop dead in my tracks as my mate walks in, fury and power unlike anything I've ever felt before are rolling off

of her in

waves.

“Where the fuck is he?” she snarls.

“Kennedy, what happened,” | ask her. In all the years I've known her, I've never, ever seen Kennedy this angry

before. | didn’t know that she even possessed this level of fury. What | feel coming from her is my level of dark

fury. It’s so far from her bright light that | feel a trickle of fear slither down my spine. It’s not fear of her, it's fear

that | was right and my darkness has

taken her over.

She ignoresand walks into the dining hall. “You,” she snarls. Every single warrior in the room yelps with the

strength of her anger, all of their necks rising in submission.

“You raped that girl. You knew she didn’t want you, but you just wouldn't take no for an answer,” she snarls at

Arlo.

What the fuck?

“Is that what she told you? She’s lying. She wanted it,” he says. Somehow, even in the submissive state that

Echo is demanding, he sounds cocky. | notice that Kier is also submitting to her and even Raif feels the power of

her anger and Alpha command, although he’s refusing to submit to her under these conditions.

However, the omegas in the room are unaffected, as is Lane. She’s excluding them from her anger. | look at him

and he givesa look that tellsthat he’s sorry for not telling me, but he was following Kennedy's order.

“Who? I ask him.

The omega, Christy. It's bad, Alpha. Really bad. Luna’s been stitching her up for hours.

| clench my fists, furious that anyone felt they could hurt another pack member like this.

“You left her to die! She nearly bled out overnight,” she snarls.

“Everyone knows virgins bleed like stuck pigs. You sure did. We all saw the sheets the night Alpha brought you

home,” he growls. Echo instantly pushes her aura more strongly over him as Raif snarls at his mention of that

first night. The few warriors who were standing on their feet fall to their knees.

| hadn't realized that when I'd wanted to get rid of the evidence of the pain I'd caused Kennedy that the entire

pack would have witnessed it, but apparently they did.

“Is this what you wanted? Is this the kind of Luna you want? The kind who is mean and cruel and hateful? Well,

you've got her now! Don’t tellnone of you knew. Someone knew and no one, not one of you did anything to

help that girl. I've never been so ashamed to be a part of a pack. A pack who doesn’t even care enough to

protect their own. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. I'm certainly ashamed of you and ashamed to call

myself the Luna of a pack like this.”

“Kennedy,” | say, trying to get hold of the situation. However, she spins around, her fury now directed at me. She

slaps her hand against my chest with enough power that | rock back on my heels and have to fight not to step

back.

“You're just as much to blfor not listening towhen | warned you. Maybe if you started recognizing that

I'm an intelligent, grown woman rather than the little pup you're so fond of calling me, this wouldn't have

happened,” she snarls. | can feel that Echo is just as angry at us as Kennedy is.

| feel the tension insidegrowing as wave after wave of her fury rolls over me. She spins back around, facing

the pack.

“You all think you're so strong and that’s all that matters? You think my omegas are less than you just because

they aren't warriors? Well, I'd like to see you survive without my omegas taking care of all of you. You think

you're so fantastic, then you

and | ar can fucking fend for yourselves. Effective immediately, my omegas on strike. You can rot for all | care.

And don’t even think about leaving this packhouse a mess. If you do, my omegas won't be coming back at all.”

She spins back around to confrontand | brace myself.

“I want him gone, Quirin. | want him gone or so help me...” her. | won't.

Fear, unlike anything I've ever felt in my life fills me. | can’t lose

“I want him gone,” she says, spinning on her feet and walking out. “Omegas, you're with me.”

As soon as she steps out of the room, everyone breathes a sigh of relief, their necks coming back to normal. |

watch her as she walks away.

“Get him outside,” | snarl.

“You can’t be serious! | told you she wanted it! | didn’t do anything wrong!” Arlo yells.

“Get the fuck up, Arlo, and shut your fucking mouth before | do it for you,” Kier says.

| stare at the place where Kennedy left, feeling an emptiness in the space that she has cto fill in my life. She

did warn me. She specifically toldthat she wanted to go on record that she didn’t trust Arlo and | didn’t

listen. And now, | may

lose her because of it.

| turn and stride outside where Arlo is still shouting about how he didn’t do anything wrong, | walk up and

backhand him so hard that it knocks him to the ground.

I grab him by his hair and yank him into a kneeling position in front of me.

“You were warned, Arlo. | gave you more chances than | ever should have. Kennedy is right, I'm as much to

blfor what happened to Christy as you are. For your crimes against Christy, your Luna, and your pack, |

sentence you to death.”

Arlo continues to yell as | lift my hand, Raif extending his claws and in one swoop, | slice his head from his body.

Then | turn to the pack who has congregated to see what | would do,

“Anyone who knew that Arlo was planning to force Christy into having sex with him, step forward,” | say, putting

the full force of my Alpha command behind it.

Three men step forward. “Anyone who knew what he’d done, step forward,” | snarl.

Two of the three step forward again.

“Please, Alpha. Please,” they begin but | extend both arms and swipe their heads off at the stime.

The one remaining man stands, shivering in fear. “Your life is now in your Luna's hands. If she says she doesn’t

trust you, then I don’t trust you,” | say, looking around at the pack members standing speechless.

“Ever since | brought my mate home, | have put this pack above her. That ends today. | will never again second

guess my mate’s impressions of anyone in this pack. If my mate doesn’t like you, | don’t like you. If my mate

doesn’t trust you, | don’t trust you. If my mate wants you gone, you're out. If anyone dares to ever speak against

her again, I'll kill you. | haven't had my priorities in the right order, but that changes today. Believewhen |

tell you that I'm willing to lose every single one of you if it means that she stays with me. No one is more

important tothan her and it’s tthat | started showing her that. Every one of us will becthe type of

pack member that she is proud of or you can find somewhere else to live.”

| turn and look at Kier. “Take him to the cells. Once Kennedy gives her verdict about you, David, you'll either be

released or I'll kill you,” | say, my voice devoid of emotion.

| walk inside, wash my hands, and head over to the hospital. | need to try and talk to my mate. | somehow need

to apologize for not heeding her words and for letting one of my pack members suffer because of it.
