The Pack's Doctor by Cooper

Chapter 30

Quinton

“He captured my fucking Beta! That's how fucking strong his pack is, Quinton! MY BETA!! Strong isn’t even the

right word. There's no way that pack should be as strong as they are if they've fought four days in a row! It's like

they're getting stronger with each battle. What the actual fuck? How the fuck am | supposed to get my Beta

back?”

“We'll get your Beta back, Thomas,” | say, sitting back. “Did Warren smell like he’d marked his new mate?”

“Who the fuck cares about his mate, Quinton! He has my Beta!” he snarls at me. My answering snarl causes the

walls in my office to vibrate and the pictures on the wall to shift.

“Don’t you dare take that fucking tone with me, Thomas,” | say, sitting forward. “I said we'd get your Beta back

and | meant it. But | need to know if we have to kill the woman, or if we can capture her.”

I hear him breathing heavily on the phone, presumably getting his temper in check. When he’s calmer, he

answers.

“I could smell her on him, but not enough that he was marked,” he says. “Quin, how the fuck is his pac fast?”

“Brady thinks it’s this lady doctor, Warren's mate.”

“Then she needs to fucking die,” he snarls. And this is why Thomas isn’t the strategist in our group either. He's

too stupid to think past the moment he’s in, too stupid to realize that if she’s making Warren's pack that strong,

she could make any pack that strong. She could make MY pack that strong.

If I have her, my pack would becstronger. If | have her, | could becthe strongest Alpha in the region. If |

have her, | could take over all the packs and everything in this region would be mine.

“I'll talk to Brady. We need to team up and attack together, go after them with everything we've got, rather than

sending one pack at a time,” | tell him.

“And we'll get Axel back?” he asks.

“Yes, Thomas. We'll get your Beta back.”

Yara is doing her usual mumbling about how no one seems to know they're injured anymore, Anna is looking at

the monitors...

“Alpha?” one of the warriors says, just as the Beta hand snaps out to grab Yara by the throat. I'm at her side, my

claws slicing through his wrist in an instant. His breathing had changed. It had takena moment too long to

realize that’s what | sensed.

He snarls, not releasing Yara’s throat. “So, you're the lady doctor everyone's so hot and bothered by.”

“Let go,” she says, her voice deadly calm.

| look up at the warriors in the room. “Because you're making us stronger, Yara. The longer you're here, the

“How did you know how to hurt him enough that he'd let go?” | ask her, curious.

She looks up atand then at the warriors in the room. “A doctor learns how to heal, but in the process, we

learn about anatomy, what makes us strong and what makes us weak. We learn how to heal and where a person

is most vulnerable if they are injured. But aside from all that, someone squeezing your stomach and liver in their

hands is going to cause excruciating pain.”

She turns back to the Beta as | smile, feeling the smug satisfaction from the pack at Yara’s words. My mate is

one hell of a badass.
