The Pack's Doctor novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258

Cyra

The plan was simple. Everyone would be out of sight and we’d wait for Stellan to arrive. We have Lila’s warning but can’t know for sure that she was telling the truth. However, if she was, we’ll need this proof for the Council. It will be better to catch Stellan actually trying to force himself on me.

Understandably, Yorick isn’t keen on the idea, but as Alpha Nevaeh and Alpha Michael said, he is now connected to my mind. He will know when it’s time to rush in.

Tracker and Raptor quickly set up recording devices in my room so that they can see and watch everything that happens. There will be no way for Stellan to get out of this.

I’m right here,‘ Yorick says for the hundredth time in my head.

I want you right here,‘ I say, sending him an image of us earlier along with the feeling of my mouth attached to his neck and his body inside of mine when we were interrupted.

He groans in the mind link and some of the tension in him shifts like I was hoping it would.

I can’t even say that I’ll pick up where we left off once he’s gone. We have to go deal with your father.’

“Maybe we should plan to spend a few nights at my pack. We can christen my school–girl bed at home,‘ I say, making him groan even more.

I’m pretty sure we’ll be spending more than one night in your pack and that innocent bed won’t know what hit it,’ he growls, just as my phone rings.

I look at the caller ID.

“It’s Stellan,” I say out loud.

I take a deep breath, grounding myself. Then I answer, making sure my voice sounds like I was just woken up.

“Stellan, it’s the middle of the night. What’s wrong?”

“Cyra, I’m here at the Academy. I need to talk to you right away. Open your door and let me in.”

“What’s going on, Stellan?” I ask, walking to the door.

“Just open the door.”

I do and see him walking down the hall. He looks intent.

“Stellan, what…?” I begin before he pushes me back into my room and closes the door.

“Your time is up, Cyra,” he says to me.

“What are you talking about?”

“I was hoping to give you a year. Hell, I was hoping to be able to give you back to your fated mate after you gave me an heir, but all that has changed. I need your pack and I need it now. So we can do this one of two ways. You can agree and we’ll mark and mate now, or you can

make it hard and I’ll still take what’s mine.”

I hear Yorick growl in my head at that.

“You can’t just barge in here in the middle of the night and demand that I give myself to you, Stellan,” I say to him.

“I can and I am, Cyra. You were only ever a means to an end. You’re a pretty one, and that makes it easier. Don’t pretend like you haven’t been with your mate. I can smell him on you. I’d prefer that you not smell like another man, but this first time I’m not waiting for you to wash off his scent. Get undressed or I’ll rip those clothes off you myself,” he says.

Now Thad is snarling in my head. Raptor suggested that I wear one of Yorick’s collared shirts to cover my mate mark and Yorick’s scent that is now in my bloodstream. This way Stellan wouldn’t immediately know that he won’t be getting what he came for. When you’re trying to get someone to incriminate themselves, you need to keep them talking. At least that’s what Raptor, and Steel said while we were getting ready.

I wrap my arms around my waist. “Fuck you, Stellan! I’m not having sex with you, and I am NOT letting you put your mark on me. Forget it!”

He reaches out and grabs the shirt, fisting it in his hand and yanking me toward him. “Before you leave this room, Cyra, you will be wearing my mark, and your womb will be carrying my pup.”

“I’m on birth control, you moron,” I growl.

“I took care of that before you left home, Cyra. It’s not that hard to pay off the right people to replace your hormone implant with a placebo. You haven’t been on birth control in months,” he says.

Something tightens inside of me, but I don’t have time to think about that right now. Yorick and I haven’t used protection the entire time I’ve been at the Academy because I thought I was on birth control.

I may not have been at the Academy that long, but here, you learn a lot in a short amount of time. I take the heel of my hand, and I punch it in the center of Stellan’s chest against his diaphram, pushing him back.

“I said NO, Stellan!” I growl as he wheezes. He looks up at me, snarling, then rips the shirt open.

“You fucking bitch!” he says, then leaps at me. Rina pushes forward and extends her claws to slice across his face, but Thad blasts into the room like an explosion and rips Stellan off his feet. Before Stellan can shift, Thad has him by the throat, pinned to the floor.

I pull my shirt together as the others rush in.

“Alpha Thad,” Raptor says, taking charge. “If you kill him now, he dies too easily. We have everything we need to put him in prison for the rest of his life. You are within your rights to kill the person who threatened your mate, but do you want him to have a quick, easy death, or would you prefer that he rot in a jail cell for the rest of his life?”

‘Cyra, which do you prefer?‘ my mate asks in the mind link.

“Let him rot, Thad,” I say out loud, walking over to where he has Stellan pinned to the floor. Thad is so large I can barely see Stellan underneath him. I run my fingers through his fur, knowing that it will help to calm him.

“And if you kill him now, my love, he’ll never know that he didn’t have a chance to leave his mark on me,” I purr at him.

That seems to finally pull Thad out of his killing haze. He releases Stellan and steps back, shifting quickly before Yorick pulls me into his arms, still glaring down at Stellan.

“What the actual fuck?” Stellan growls from the floor, sitting up and wiping blood from his neck.

“We were warned that you were coming, Stellan. As it turned out, I had already decided I wasn’t willing to give up my life for you or my father. Earlier this evening, Yorick and I completed our mate bond,” I say, pulling the shirt away from my neck to show off my fresh mark, a mark I’ve barely had time to admire.

Stellan stares up at my neck in fury. “You fucking whore!” he yells.

That’s all it takes for Yorick to punch him so hard that it breaks his nose and knocks Stellan unconscious.

“I’m guessing you learned that punch from Alpha Quirin, hot your father,” Steel says.

“Yeah, I did. There’s one thing that my entire family has in common. NO ONE touches or hurts what’s ours,” he growls, the possessiveness in him so much stronger than I’ve ever felt before.

I lean into him, letting Rina punt at him to help calm him. His arms tighten around me, but he continues to watch Stellan, like he might suddenly jump up and try to take me away from him.

“Did you get what you needed?” I ask, looking at the others over Yorick’s shoulder.

“We did. Stellan won’t be able to talk his way out of this. It was obvious he was here to force himself on you with or without your consent. You did well, Alpha Cyra,” Raptor says.

“They call her Aphrodite,” Tracker says absently as she begins going around my room to collect the listening and monitoring devices.

“I’d say that’s an appropriate codename, if you ever decide to work for the Council, young Alpha,” Alpha Michael or Steel says, walking past us. He lifts Stellan’s weight with one arm and throws him over his shoulder.

Damn. Stellan isn’t a small man and Steel lifted him like he weighed nothing.

“How about you? Do you have a nickname?” Steel asks Yorick.

“Shakespeare,” he says.

Both Raptor and Steel grunt. “Too close to your real name,” Raptor says.

“And not deadly enough if you decide to work for the Council. What do you think?” Steel asks Raptor.

Raptor looks at Yorick. “With a punch like that, I’d say Strike or Striker.”

“Yeah, I like that. We haven’t had a Striker in a while,” Steel says, turning to grin at Yorick. “Striker it is.”

“I can guess how you got a name like Raptor, but how did you get Steel?” I ask him.

“I took five bullets and still didn’t go down,” he says proudly.

“Five silver bullets and Steel is short for Man of Steel. Superman was too long, so it got shortened to Steel,” Raptor says, obviously proud of

his mentor.

“Look pup, don’t be telling my story,” Steel grumbles good–naturedly.

“No worries, old man. You need something to do now that you’re retired,” Raptor says, smiling as he slaps the shoulder that isn’t carrying Stellan.

Steel growls, but he continues walking.

“Do you need any help, baby?” Raptor asks Tracker.

“This is the last of it,” she says. “And I’m coming with you,” she says, as if this is an argument that they’ve been having that got interrupted by Stellan.

He sighs. “Fine. You’re right. It’s good to have a tech wizard on these ops.”

“Glad we finally agree,” she says, walking up to him and kissing him. The kiss quickly turns passionate, and I glance at Yorick, but his gaze is far away.
