As we finish eating, I have Noelle tell me what she did with Bradley.
She’s so nervous that she did something wrong.
“Noelle, you saved his life. He’s alive and we can fix anything else if his wolf hasn’t already,” I tell her, reaching out to squeeze her hand.
“See, I told you. You did the hard part, Little Beta. You got that bullet out.”
When we’re done, Noelle quickly accepts Warren as her Alpha. Then she and I kiss our mates and start to leave the dining hall. It’s full of our pack members who are having breakfast, talking to family and friends, saying hello and welcoming me back as we pass. The feeling is so much different than it used to be, so much better. Because it is, I turn back.
“Alpha Warren, don’t forget you have work to do later,” I say, raising my voice so he can hear me across the room. The room goes quiet as everyone looks at Warren. He frowns and I can se him trying to figure out what he forgot.
“Until you put a pup in me, I won’t give you a moment’s rest,” I smile, hearing our pack members chuckle as Warren smiles wide.
“Oh my little Luna, there is nothing about putting a pup in you that is work. But you’re welcome to put me to work’ as long and as often as you’d like,” he says, the smile on his face now twinkling in his eyes. Damn my man is hot.
I smile at Warren as the pack howls and cheers. Happy with our interaction and the feeling in the pack, I turn and head to the hospital with Noelle.
When I arrive, I see Piper who looks exhausted, and standing beside her is Travis.
“I need to check both of you, but I need to check on Bradley first. Piper, you’re overdoing it. Your off duty starting right now. Who else is here?”
“I am, Luna,” Erica says, walking out. “It’s good to have you back.”
“It’s good to be back. Piper, have a seat. Travis, you too.”
“Yes, Luna,” they both say.
“Noelle, with me.”
We walk into the Bradley’s hospital room and I look over his medical file before checking the incision. “Let’s open him up and see what his lungs look like,” I say, pulling on gloves as Noelle gets what I need. “The tissue of the lungs was weird. I wasn’t sure how much pressure I could put on the stitches, so they might be too tight or not tight enough,”
she says as I slice through the stitches on his chest. When I have to cut flesh to get to his lungs, I know his wolf is trying to heal him. That’s a good sign.
I retract the skin and muscle and see Noelle worked around his rib cage instead of cracking him open. “That must have made things much more difficult for you,” I say, looking over the stitches on his lungs.
“I used a camera so I had a better view and because the bullet was low, I was able to go in from under this rib cage. Do you want the camera?” she says, holding it out for me.
“Sure. Let’s have a look.”
When the camera is in, I realize that Noelle did a really good job, especially since this was her first time and she had very little space to work, having to go under and between his ribs to access his lungs.
“Nice job. In the future, make sure you get all of the singed lung out,” I say, taking a scalpel and slicing off a piece of lung that was dead.
“Otherwise, it could decay inside the body and cause other problems.
But well done, Noelle. If this is what you want to do, and I hope it is, you need to start taking classes. Warren and I talked about me doing online classes and I know there are werewolf universities where we can go too. They’ll be more agreeable to us working in the packs and using our work here for our practical knowledge,” I say as I stitch Bradley back up.
“I would love that. And I think Piper and Anna would like to take classes as well,” she says.
“We might have a fully functional
hospital here one day. Who knows, Noelle, maybe once things settle with the packs, we could bring others in here and help train care for their pack members.
I turn off the sedation that was keeping Bradley under. “Let’s let him wake up. He won’t be going
anywhere for a couple of days, but once his wolf isn’t drugged, he can start healing him faster.”
When we walk out, I stop. Piper and Travis are in the hallway, and he has her against the wall, kissing her in a way that mates kiss each other.
“Am I interrupting?” I ask, teasing.
“Oh my goddess, Luna, I’m so sorry,” Piper says, her voice raspy.
“You’re sorry for kissing your mate? Or you’re sorry for speaking before I checked your throat?”
“How did you…” she begins before Travis gently puts his hand over her mouth.
“She just warned you about speaking, Pipes. From everything I’ve heard, you don’t want to cross your Luna,” he says, smiling at me.
“Hi, Luna. Yes, we’re mates. Since I don’t have a mind link, I’ve been waiting for Piper to be able to talk. But I don’t want her to injure herself to do it.”
“Looks like you’ve found a way to communicate,” I say, walking over to her. Noelle hands me a mini flashlight and I look at Piper’s throat.
“This is healing nicely. Is your wolf back?” I ask her.
She nods.
“How are you vocal chords?” I ask.
“Still healing, Luna,” the deeper voice of her wolf says.
“What about swallowing? Are you able to get regular food down?” I ask and she nods.
“Minimal conversations only. Do as much as you can in the mind link.
Come back and see me tomorrow,” I tell her, before turning to Travis.
“How about your wolf?” I ask.
I watch his wolf push forward. “I’m here Luna.”
“Full strength?”
