The Pack's Doctor novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285

Hijack

The space where Hacker set up the security system is small, made smaller by the young girl who is practically bouncing out of her shoes.

“Are you always this excitable?” I ask her.

“This is exciting,” she says, peering over my arm to watch. “I mean, don’t you think so?”

To me, this work is boring. But I appreciate her enthusiasm, and I want to nurture it, so I don’t say that.

“There are many other things that we do that are more exciting,” I say instead.

“Like what? Wendy is always at her computer working with you guys,” she says.

Interesting. Wendy isn’t always working with me. If she’s spending that much time at her computer, then she’s spending more time with Hacker than I realized. I already knew he liked her and was probably using this weekend to spend time with her away from me. Which is exactly why I showed up. Wendy isn’t eighteen and if we’re both interested in her, there’s a possibility that she could be mated to one of us. So yeah, I’m here to cockblock that bastard.

“Well, hunting down bad guys is a lot more fun,” I say, as I work.

This pup smells a lot like her sister. I’ve noticed that all the women in the Hill family smell like something out of kitchen, something warm and enticing, something that smells like home. I’ve never really paid attention to other families before to see if it’s the same and not having any sisters myself, I can’t really compare. The men in this family smell more earthy, like most male wolves do, but the females all have a very

attractive scent.

“How do you find them?” she asks. She’s pressed so close to me that I can feel her body heat and her head is practically resting on my arm.

Her excitement is practically pulsing off of her.

“It depends on what they’re hiding and how good they are at hiding it. If you’re going to continue to breathe down my neck, I’m putting you to work,” I say, grinning at her to take the sting out of my words.

“Sorry,” she says, scooting back. “But I’ll help. Just tell me what you want me to do.”

She’s eager, I’ll give her that. And she’s just like Sphinx. She absorbs everything I tell her and never once complains about what I ask her to

1. do.

When the last line turns green, she squeals in excitement and throws herself into my arms.

“We did it!”

I’m unused to any display of affection unless it’s in the bedroom. I’m certainly not used to young females hugging me excitedly. It takes a second for me to remember that her mother is a hugger and she probably got that from her.

“We did it,” I confirm, hugging her awkwardly.

She jumps back, grinning at me. “What’s next?”

Hacker’s right. We need to keep our eye on this one. She’s definitely a techy in the making.

Cyra POV

I let our omegas on the other side know that we need two rooms made up for my family and several more for their warriors to stay overnight.

Chapter 285

Then we introduced my uncle and cousin to Beta Lewis.

“You have two Betas and two Gammas now?” Arman asks as we walk.

“Two Betas and one Gamma. The other was demoted,” I tell him.

“How did that go? Most ranked members don’t appreciate being demoted back to warrior status,” he says.

“Warren moved him to this side so we can keep an eye on him. He was demoted because he was lazy so other than running his mouth, I don’t

expect any problems.”

As we walk, I see the freshly dug trench on the side of our packhouse leading away from the this side toward the other side.

“It looks like he’s laying the line so it’s closer to the edge of the pack lands,” I say to Yorick.

He looks, following the line of the trench. “That’s smart. If we ever decide to build anything over here, we won’t have to worry about cutting the line for our security system.”

“As long as it’s not too close to your pack border. You wouldn’t want someone sneaking onto your pack lands and cutting the line before your patrols catch them,” Uncle Ramin says, looking over the trench lines.

“I know Hacker was mapping it out earlier. That’s why he and Wendy were walking the pack lands. Let’s go see if he can show us where he’s digging the trench compared to where the pack borders are,” Yorick says.

We follow the trench which is being dug faster than I expected. When we catch up to them, I can see why. Both Hacker and Wendy are in their wolf forms, digging into the ground making the job go much faster. As we approach, it looks like their competing to see which wolf can dig

the fastest.

“Not to barge in on your contest here …” Yorick begins. Wendy’s wolf, Dasha, yips in surprise while Hacker’s wolf spins, growling and taking a protective stance in front of Dasha.

Yorick raises an eyebrow at him. The hair on his wolf’s back goes down and Hacker shifts, grabbing a nearby pair of shorts and pulling them on before wiping his dirty hands on them.

“Hey, you startled us,” he says.

“So I see.”

Dasha comes to stand beside Hacker. She doesn’t shift, probably because of my uncle and cousin.

“Hacker, this is my Uncle Ramin and my cousin Arman,” I say introducing him.

“We spoke on the phone,” he says, his tone remaining professional and a bit aloof. My uncle didn’t make a good first impression on Hacker.

“We didn’t. I’m Alpha Arman.”

“Nice to meet you,” he says, glancing at me. I nod, reassuring him that everything is good.

“This is Dasha, my sister, Wendy’s, wolf. You’ll meet Wendy later, I’m sure,” Yorick says, introducing her to my family.

“We’re showing my uncle and cousin around the pack lands and saw the trench you’re digging. We wanted to see the outline of where you plan to lay the cable in comparison to where the pack borders are,” I say.

“Ah,” he says, walking over to get a tablet that’s lying with their clothes.

Yorick’s eyes are unfocused and Dasha is looking at him, so I know he’s checking to make sure his sister is doing okay. I smile, thinking that

he’s going to make a wonderful father to our pups someday.

He must catch my thought because he turns and smiles at me.

“Here we are,” Hacker says, handing me the tablet. Yorick steps up beside me as Hacker explains where he’s laying the cable in relation to the

pack borders.

“Hijack looked it over as well. This is pretty standard when you lay cable in pack lands. You want it far enough inside the pack so it can’t be tampered with, but far enough away to avoid cutting the lines if you build,” he says, reinforcing what Yorick had already guessed.

“Sounds good. Make sure you don’t miss dinner,” Yorick says.
