The Pack's Luna: The Pack Series Book 4 novel Chapter 366

Yara

“The Academy is a busy place these days,” Warren says to Councilman Edward.

“This year’s cadets seem to have come from families that• the council should have had on their radar. If nothing else, it proves why the council is necessary,” he says.

Warren will make an incredible addition to the council.

He’s firm, but fair. He listens but isn’t swayed from the truth. I’m such a lucky woman to call him mine.

When my mate begins purring loudly, I look at him. His smug smile and Councilman Edward’s raised eyebrow let me know that I’ve once again spoken out loud.

“I consider myself a very lucky man as well,” he says, pulling me into his embrace. He kisses me quickly before releasing me so we can continue with our tour of the Academy.

We were invited to tour the campus because the Council and the Academy want me to lead a new doctoral program here. I’ll admit, the idea is very exciting. I’ve always enjoyed medicine, and I love the teaching school that we’ve established at the packs, but this would give me the opportunity to lead advanced students in medicine, possibly finding new and better ways of caring for and treating injured werewolves. It has the added benefit of staying close to two of my pups, while stillkeeping my three youngest with me.

But more than that, if Warren takes a position on the council, we could both do what we love. We’re still close enough to our sons’ packs, and Quirin’s pack to visit family. Our younger pups could still choose to spend time in any of those packs if they wanted to, or they could stay with us in the city.

“This is the area where we’d like to break ground on our new medical facility. We want to make it state of the art, with a floor where people could come for medical treatment, a floor for research, and potentially, a floor for housing the Medical Director and their family,” Councilman Edward says.

“You’re going to house them here at the Academy?”

Warren asks.

“It’s an option. If your mate accepts the Medical Director position, you two of you would have a say in how that floor is built. I’d also want you to be closely involved in the development of the floor plans for both the medical facility and the research facility, Luna Yara.”

“When do you intend to break ground?” I ask, looking over the large area that has already been cleared for the medical facility.

“Two weeks, which is why I pushed so hard for you to come visit, Luna Yara. We do need an answer if the facility will be open for fall classes.””Have you already opened the school for applications?” ask.

“We have,” Councilman Edward says.

“And?” Warren asks, knowing I’d want to know how many students we’re talking about.

“We already have three hundred applications with more coming in every day,” he says.

“Three hundred?” I ask, shocked that so many students are interested in extending their education in medicine.

“Luna, I think you underestimate the impact you’ve already had in our medical industry. The students who visit your on-site clinics come back to their schools full of excitement and energy for the medical field. Our own Dr.

Johnston is a previous student of yours.”

“That’s right. I spoke to her earlier this school year when Cyra was in the hospital.”

“Yes. Injuries like that are uncommon for students.

Unfortunately, they are not so uncommon for our elite squads. I expect that aside from cases that doctors cannot treat in the packs, most of your medical knowledge will be utilized to help treat our elite warriors and keep them in the field. Of course, that will benefit your son as well, if he makes it onto an elite team at the end of the semester.”

“Oh, he will,” Warren says confidently.

“Of course, we also have our she-wolves who come and goon the squads when they become pregnant. We would like you to monitor their pregnancies, deliveries, monitor the health of their newborns, and assess their ability to return to work post-delivery,” he says.

He walks us around the rest of the campus, showing us where the upperclassmen dormitories are located and finally walking into what looks like the instructors’ office area. Here, in the center of the entryway, is the mockup for the medical facility.

“These are our proposed building plans. As you can see, we’re planning three floors. The first floor, as I mentioned, will be the medical facility, divided into three areas; a self-sustaining cafeteria so food can be made for anyone remaining overnight in the hospital, the actual hospital side, and a space for office visits and outpatient procedures.”

I step forward, looking over the images. They ll need more space for overnight medical stays. You don’t want to push your intensive patients out because you don’t have enough room. They should really have their own floor, well away from the cafeteria where the smell of food could make them nauseous at first. That would also leave more space for outpatient treatment. If you’re treating she-wolves with pups, you would want an area that is more pup friendly but still has space for an outpatient medical center for adults.

“Anything else, Luna?” Councilman Edward asks.I turn and look at him. “Anything else?”

Warren gives me his loving smile. You said that out loud, my love, hesays in the mind link.

“Oh, I did?” I ask.

“You did,” he says, coming over to wrap his arms around me. Even after all these years, being in Warren’s arms still feels like the safest, most loving place in the world. I lean against my mate, taking a moment to enjoy the feeling.

“True,” he says, then sighs. “I do want the council position, but l also don’t want to accept a position that will take me away from you and our pups anymore than we’re already apart. What do you think of the medical director position?

The feeling I got from you was excitement, but there was also some resistance too. Talk to me about that.”

I smile at my mate, loving that he’s always in my mind, listening and wanting to know everything that I’m thinking and feeling.

“My resistance was for the same reason as yours. We’re already spread out among our family’s different packs. We rarely have all our pups together in one pack anymore and frequently, you and l aren’t in the same pack. I don’t want to take this position if you aren’t going to be nearby. If you are truly considering the council position, then I would definitely consider the medical director position. I would Love it, bonestly. I can already see how we can expand the knowledge that we’ve started in the classroom setting.

Here, they’d be getting real-life experience, and I love the idea of being able to find new and better ways to treat injuries in wolves. It’s exciting and someone like Kennedy who loves medicine, someone who hasn’t started her family, could really benefit from that sort of environment.

It’s a chance for me to work with the best of the best and that makes it even more exciting. It would be like workingwith a school of Kennedys, every day. It would open doors for budding doctors like Quilla and Quinlee and I love the idea of being part of that.”

“So, it sounds like we have a decision,” he says.

“Do you think that Yana, Wade, and Yvonne will mind having yet another place to live?” I ask, worrying about our youngest three pups. With Wendy going to the Academy next year, I don’t have to worry about her living arrangements any longer.

“I think our pups are well-adjusted, Yara. If they want to spend time in the packs, they can. But Yana is already showing interest in attending the Academy, and who knows what Wade and Yvonne will want to do when they get older. I can see Wade following in Yorick’s footsteps and joining the Academy to become an elite warrior.

Having exposure now could help him decide if that’s something he wants to do.”

“What about Yvonne?” I ask.

He grins. “She keeps threatening to take over as Quirin’s Gamma.

How is it that my mate can still take my breath away with just a smile? He is still the sexiest man I’ve ever seen in my life. And he is all mine.

He growls, then suddenly pulls the car off the road, driving behind a copse of trees.”I warned you what would happen if you continued with those thoughts, Yara.”

I smile at me mate. “Yes, yes you did.”

We hurriedly pull our clothes off and move to the back seat. It’s only a couple of minutes before my mate is inside me, filling me like only he can, bringing me to the place of absolute bliss that only he can take me to.
