The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Chapter 161 Chapter 161 Slater I'd been laying on the bed in my cell when I felt it, my brother's death.

I snarled, rushing to the cell bars. "What the fuck just happened?" I'd heard a commotion above us and the two guards who were watchingraced upstairs. Down here, we only have small windows at the ceiling to let in just enough light to make you remember how much you hate the dank, dark area of the cells. It's barely enough space to hear what's going on above you, No one answered my question because no one was here. Then, I'd felt two more tethers snap, friends of mine. Their deaths had cat the exact stime. Are we under attack? No one sounded the alarm and Arlo said that Jasper was waiting to attack until he gave him sinformation on Kennedy, But now, my brother is dead, and I don't have a fucking clue what's going on.

I stand there, waiting for someone to ctellwhat happened to Arlo, seething in my fury. If Jasper betrayed us, I'll k him.

When the door finally opens, I'm shocked to see David being dragged down the stairs and thrown into a cell. "What the fuck is going on? What happened to my brother?" I snarl, Beta Kier comes to the front of my cell. "Your brother was warned. He was told not to disrespect our Luna or this pack and he didn't listen. Now he's paid the price. If I were you, Slater, I'd be very careful. Your life is hanging by a thread" Since I know Kier is true to Quirin, I don't bother asking him any more questions. I stand back and wait until he and the other guards walk out, then I turn to David.

"What the fuck happened?” I growl low enough that the guards can't hear us.

"Arlo finally got to Christy. Luna Kennedy found her and went ballistic," he says, makingscoff.

"Who the fuck cares, Kennedy's a fucking peach." "No, Slater. You weren't there. Even Arlo was submitting to her, that's how powerful her aura was.” That givespause. As soon as Arlo and I got far enough away from the pack, we both renounced Kennedy as our Luna. He shouldn't have had to submit to her.

"Are you sure he wasn't faking it?" I say.

"She had the entire pack on their knees, Slater. She's stronger than she looks and when she's mad? Holy Mother Moon Goddess. Even Beta Kier was submitting to her." "What about Alpha Quirin?" I ask.

"No, but you could tell that he was affected. She's as strong as he is, possibly even stronger, at least when she's furious like she was." "Christy's a fucking omega. Who gives a fuck if Arlo had sex with her?" "You know how Arlo is. He was rough with her. Apparently, she nearly bled to death." "FUCK!" I say, beginning to pace. I knew Arlo had a thing for that omega. I never understood why. She's pretty, yeah, but she wasn't worth losing your life over.

1/4 Wed, 5 Mar Chapter 161 "Why are you in here?" I ask, turning back to him.

"Alpha says that from now on, whatever Luna Kennedy says, goes. Apparently she warned him about Arlo and he didn't listen. It sounded like she might try to leave him..." "Good," I interrupt.

"No, not good," David insists. Alpha says that he's willing to lose all of us to keep her. And from now on, if she doesn't like you, neither does he. We were all in that fucking bathroom the day that you and Lane got into it. She knows which side we were on." "Don't go flipping on me," I snarl at him.

"I'm not losing my life for you, Slater. It's not worth it. I didn't have any respect for her before because I didn't realize how powerful she is, but now? Fuck, I bet she could put Jasper on his knees if Alpha Quirin gave her a chance." "She can't possibly be that strong," I say.

Trust me, she is." I pace smore, thinking. "What about Joe and Ben? Why were they killed?" "After Alpha killed Arlo, he pushed his Alpha command out, telling us to step forward if we knew about Arlo's infatuation with Christy. Then he wanted to know who knew that he'd fucked her. I didn't know until Luna walked in, but they did. Because they did and didn't say anything, Alpha killed them." "What the fuck? For a girl?" I growl.

"You're not listening to me, Slater. Something snapped inside of Alpha. When he said he didn't care if he lost all of us if it meant keeping Luna Kennedy, he meant it. We all felt it.” I begin pacing again. I need to get out of here. I need to figure out how to get rid of that bitch. We wanted her gone before but now, she's the reason my brother is dead. Since it wasn't Jasper and I know he wants her, I need to find a way to get out so I can tell him how capture her. Arlo and I had already been talking about it. We'd figured out the perfect spot for Jasper to grab her. It won't be easy, but if Alpha Jasper really wants her, he'll make it work.

Now I just need to figure out how to get out of this pack with my head still attached to my shoulders.

Quirin POV When I walk into the hospital, all of the omegas and Lane are standing or sitting in the waiting room. "Uh, Alpha, Luna said no ranked members were allowed in here right now," Lane says.

"Good, make sure no one else comes in. Where is she?" I ask. I know she doesn't want to seeand besides needing to speak with Kennedy, Christy is my pack member too. I let her down and I need to see for myself just how bad she is.

I watch Lane's eyes go unfocused and I wait. A moment later, Kennedy comes out.

"What do you want, Quirin?" she asks, the angry fire in her is still burning hot.

"I want to see Christy." "She's asleep. I'll tell her you stopped by." "No. I'm her Alpha and I want to see her." She snarls at me, and I see Echo pushing forward. Raif does as well.

+13) 2/4 1 Wed, 5 Mar Chapter 161 04% "I do not wish to fight you mate. Christy and her wolf, Sanjana, are our pack members. Yes, we let them down. We did not protect them as we should, but we can't make that right if you don't let us,” Raif says, trying to calm our mates.

+13) She stares at us for several long moments. "Don't wake her up," she snaps, before turning on her heel and walking down the hall.

I nod at Lane and follow my mate. When I walk into the room, Raif immediately starts growling, but I cut him off. Kennedy said not to wake Christy up and I'm not going to. Her eye looks swollen shut, I can see the fingerprints on her throat from here, and I can smell the blood and antiseptic from where Kennedy stitched her up.

I walk over to the bed and brush her hair away from her face. She looks so fragile. I lean forward and kiss her forehead.

"I'm sorry I didn't protect you like I should have. I promise, it will never happen again," I say to her softly. I have no idea if she can hear me, but I hope that my presence helps her.

"Has her wolf gone silent? Is that why she's not healing?" I ask Kennedy.

"I have to assso. I didn't have much tto talk with her and her voice was raspy when she did try to speak." I nod. "When are you coming back to the packhouse?" "I don't know. I promised Christy that I wouldn't leave her alone and I don't intend to break that promise." "What about the omegas in the waiting room. Sof them have families, pups that need them." "They're free to go whenever they want to, but if you, Beta Kier, or any of those warriors asks them to lift a finger to help with anything, I will rip you or them apart," she growls softly.

I nod again. "Understood. Kennedy..." "Whatever it is you want to say, Quirin, I don't want to hear it. I don't have the energy or the inclination to hear anything that might cout of your mouth right now."

she I nod again. "I'll be waiting for you when you're ready," I say and turn to walk out. I'm not surprised when doesn't follow me, but the hollow feeling that filledwhen she e walked out of the packhouse earlier stays with me. When I walk back to the waiting room, I look at Lane. "Show me." He seems to understand that I need to see where Arlo hurt Christy. He takesback to the bathroom, the brand-fucking- new bathroom that now has blood smeared all over the floor.

"We'll clean this up, Alpha," Susie says. Several of the omegas followed us in here.

"No. Your Luna was very clear that none of you are to do anything until she gives the okay. You are able to return to your families when you're ready and doubt Luna meant that you can't feed your pups, but don't let her catch you doing anything for your mates if they're warriors. She won't hesitate to dress them down and I won't stand in her way." "Yes, Alpha," they say.

I stare at the blood for a few moments longer. The weight of my actions and decisions that were in direct contrast to Kennedy's lies heavy on my shoulders as I stare at the evidence of Christy's pain.

Without another word, I turn and head back to the packhouse. Not surprisingly, Kier is waiting for me. "How is she?" "Which she? Your Luna or Christy?" I ask, gesturing for him to follow me.

"Both." "Christy is in bad shape. Her wolf is silent, which isn't surprising but it means that she'll be sporting that black eye and the 3/4 Wed, 5 Mar Chapter 161 fingerprints on her throat for a while," I say. I'm not surprised when Rowd snarls, just as angry as Raif was.

"Where are we going?" he asks as I head to the cells.

"Her blood is all over that bathroom.

There's no way that Slater didn't know that Arlo planned to force Christy into something. He was in the cells when she was attacked, but he and David knew what Arlo intended and they didn't say anything. Therefore, they can clean up the mess. Also, Kennedy was very clear that anyone who has an omega help them with anything will answer to her, so be warned." "Noted." I walk into the cells and gesture for Terrance and Randall to join us.

"Our brand-new bathroom is covered in blood. Since you assholes knew what Arlo was planning to do, you get to clean it up," I say, turning to Kier. "If they so much as blink wrong, kill them," I say, turning and walking out.

I need to shower and go back to the hospital. If my mate is sleeping there, then so am I.
