The Healer Chapter 41
Tori POV I stood over my father with my hands squeezing his as tight as I could. My mind was searching his for the healing tether. Mystic came forward and used her abilities to tie into Apache. The problem was, Apache was an Alpha wolf. They are very strong, independent, and proud. Even though I was his daughter, and an Alpha myself, Alpha wolves are still too proud to accept help.“Damnit Apache!” I screamed at him through the healing bond. He was pulling his own healing magic to help Rick but continued to block me out. What the hell was he doing!? I am trying to heal him from the excessive bleeding from the knife wound. The knife had entered in the center of his chest just below the sternum, barely missing his heart, but it did crack a couple of ribs. Suddenly, my hands started to burn, then my arms, then the sensation traveled throughout my body. It felt like flames were melting my skin from the inside. I looked down at the knife and noticed that it was silver. The

Merrick POVI opened the door to see Corinne standing there with tears rolling her face. I noticed a silver knife in her hand pointed right at me.“Corinne? What are you doing?” She took a step towards me, and I stepped back.“You. Are. Mine!” Before I could move, she plunged the knife into my chest, and I dropped to the floor gasping for breath. My head was spinning and everything was fuzzy.“Victor….. help.” I mindlinked him just before my eyes went dark and I passed out.My mind had awakened before I even opened my eyes. I could hear people talking, an annoying beep, and a rush of air. A strong smell of bleach or cleaner, soft linen and…. Fresh roses and rain. I smiled to myself knowing that wonderful scent. Teaghan was here. I tried to move my arms, but they felt like they were full of lead. My body was tired and heavy, and my mind was exhausted. I groaned out my discomfort and a moment later I felt a warm hand gripping mine.“Alpha?” I heard her sweet angelic voice call to me. Sh

Victor POV We were all cheering and smiling with relief as we heard that the Alpha would be okay. I could tell Tori was so scared that she was shaking so much until the doctor spoke. I told her to remember her father was strong and he’ll come through just fine. I asked her if she wanted to go see him, but she looked around the room before answering. Looking over to Teaghan, she offered her the chance to go sit with Rick until he woke up. Teaghan jumped at the chance and thanked Tori profusely. Once she disappeared down the corridor, Tori lost the smile on her face and spun to face the door.As she stormed out of the waiting room, I grabbed her arm and held her.“Where are you going?” She looked me dead in the eye.“I need answers!” She pulled her arm out of my hold and continued out the door.Tori turned and disappeared from the waiting room. I ran after her to see her marching across the training grounds toward the detention cells.“Tori! Wait!” Ignoring me, she kept

Tori POV“Okay, I guess you’re just too scared to fight me!” I turned around to walk back to Victor, knowing very well that this a**hat was going to come after me with my back turned. What a coward! I was ready though. I could sense the static in the air as Desmond shifted into his wolf, thanks to Mystic. I heard Jeremy call to me just as Desmond lunged through the air to attack me.I turned just in time to see his front paws come at my face. I pushed them to the side and we both went rolling in the dirt. I jumped to my feet and faced him, ready for another attack.“Not bad rookie!” I heard him jeer as he shifted back to human and walked in circles around me. “Good form, strong stance. Quick on your feet. I’m impressed.” He says with a crooked, creepy smirk. I don’t like this guy; he gives off a foul aura. Even Mystic is watching right below the surface in case he does something I can’t handle. Mystic is extremely strong and agile. If I gave her the reigns and she took over, there’s

Victor POVI saw red.I stood up from the ground and stomped off towards the packhouse in search of a dead man. I busted through the front door and made my way through the living areas and up the stairs. Pack members jumped out of my way as I stormed past them. When I reached the third floor, I turned down the hallway and made my way to Desmond’s door.Just as I was about to pound on the door, Tori came up beside me and grabbed ahold of my arm.“Victor, no!” She pulled my arm down and stood between myself and the door. I flared my nostrils and breathed heavily. I was barely able to control my anger, but when I glanced down at her, she had such a pleading look on her face, I calmed down and so did Ivan.“What? Why?” She took hold of my hand and led me away from the door and down the hallway. Ryder and Jeremy were right behind her.“If you go pounding on his door now, you’ll give us away! We need to know why he did it. Or if there is anyone else involved.” I shook my head; my only goal
The Healer Chapter 46
Tori POVI sat on one side of the bed while Teaghan sat on the other. Both of us stared at my father, willing him to open his eyes. The heart monitor played its rhythmic tone as the respirator hummed with each measured breath. I watched his chest rise and fall gently. This mountain of a man who looked like he could take on a grizzly bear one-handed, was now lying here in a hospital bed fighting for his life. All because of the jealousy of one woman who wanted nothing more than the power and prestige that came with being with an Alpha. She did not love him. She may care somewhat for him but definitely not love. She saw her chance slipping away when she learned that Rick was spending his time with another lady. Corinne’s simple mind thought if she couldn’t have him, no one could. She ultimately did more damage than she planned to. As I pondered the reasons why Corinne would have done this, it struck me. Would she really kill the man she wanted? I could see her making life miserable for

Tori POVI followed Victor down the long hallway towards the conference room. I could see the heavy double wooden doors that enclosed the large room. Two guards were standing outside ready to open them as we neared.“Victor?” He stopped before entering the room.“Should I be here? I mean, should I be meeting her like this? It might interfere with the process. Remember? I don’t want anyone to know who I am beforehand.” He faced me and grabbed my face in his hands.“Baby, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. If you don’t want to go in there for fear of jeopardizing the healing, then you can wait out here. Unfortunately, as acting Alpha, I need to meet with her to find out what it is she wants.” I nodded and smiled. He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on my lips before grabbing my hand and turning to face the guards.“Open the doors.” He commanded and the guards grabbed the handles and slowly opened the wooden doors. He took a deep breath and stepped into the room with me
The Healer Chapter 48
Victor POVI stood there contemplating her request. I am in no position to make that call. Unfortunately, Alpha Rick is still in the hospital unconscious and unable to speak with the Luna. I am certainly not announcing to the Luna his condition and whereabouts. I will just have to gather all the information I can and speak with the other high-rank members about a solution if there is one.I sat down in my seat and studied her. Her emotions and appearance seem genuine and Tori’s reaction to her is not as guarded as I would expect it to be for someone showing false emotions or having any hidden agenda. Even Ivan feels as if she is truthful about her speculations on her brother-in-law.I was about to ask her for examples and proof when I noticed Tori stifle a yawn and rub her eyes. It’s been a long night and day for both of us. Spending the night watching over Rick and then sparring this morning, she probably has no energy left to talk about accusations and solutions as serious as this.
