My Claws Were Sharp, But His Love Cut Deeper Novel

( 0 ) Chapter 10 She presses her lips together and stands , nodding , and reluctantly following behind me .

Charlie orders two wolves to flank my mate , keeping her safe , but also making sure she follows my order .

Alpha ? Charlie asks in the mind link .

Shes my mate .

Oh shit .

Yeah .

Does she know ? She doesnt act like she recognizes you as her mate .

Im not sure .

Shes a lone wolf , but shes going to school for human and veterinary medicine .

He turns and looks at her .

Wow .

A smart one .

Apparently .

What did she say about your leg ? That I need surgery .

Well , no offense but I could have told you that .

Lets see what she says when we get to the pack .

And find her a shirt .

I dont like her walking around our warriors with no clothes on .

He takes off , rushing toward our pack lands .

When he returns , his wolf carries a shirt to her in his mouth .

I watch while she looks up at me .

Were about to enter my pack .

Youre an unmarked , unknown , young female .

I thought you might like a shirt to put on to cover yourself , I say .

If she says no , Ill insist , but Im hoping shell choose to put it on without me having to demand it .

13.01 My Claws Worm .

Chapter 10 Thankfully she does , looking almost relieved .

Good .

Shes not the kind of woman who flaunts her beautiful body for all to see .

When we a back , Im taken straight to the pack hospital , asking Charlie about other injuries the warriors sustained and what happened to Bradys pack .

He gives me the list of Injuries as we walk in , shifting and continuing to talk to me out loud as Dr.

Stevens rushes up .

Alpha , lets get you into a room so we can look at your leg .

Youll need x rays , he says .

Yes , I will , I say .

The girl comes too .

The girl has a name , she mumbles , I stop and turn to look at her , her eyes going wide .

She obviously hasnt been around a lot of Alphas or Its been a long time .

She keeps mumbling to herself as if I cant hear her .

Its kind of cute .

If youll give me your name , Ill be happy to use it , I say to her .

Yara .

Yara .

Im Alpha Warren .

Come with me , I say , turning back and letting the warriors help me into the x ray room .

Who are you ? Get out ! Dr.

Stevens barks at her as we walk into the room .

Shes with me , I say , ignoring his blustery attitude that a young woman is in the room with us .

She looks at him and Im pleased when she instinctively moves closer to me .

I get settled onto the table and Dr.

Stevens sets up the x ray machine .

While he does , I watch Yara .

She has a very expressive face .

Now that I can see her in the light , I can tell that shes a pretty little .

thing .

Im sure Id think so even if she werent my mate , but based on the glances my warriors keep giving her , shes a natural beauty .

Yep , good thing shes got that shirt on , or Id have to rip their eyes from their sockets .

Because Im watching her , I see her frown , her head tilting to the side as she watches Dr.

Stevens .

I crook my finger at her beckoning her forward as Dr.

Stevens leaves the room .

What was that look ? I ask , realizing that my mates eyes are a grey green color , almost sage .

My eyes are green too , but not as dark as hers .

What look ? I just raise an eyebrow at her .

Perhaps the pain in my los te Chapter 10 Im trying to ignore it , but its not easy and Arric cant heal me until the bones are set properly .

So , Im not as patient as I might normally be in this situation .

She turns and looks behind her to see if the doctor is there , then leans in , her scent filling my nose .

Why isnt he taking side views ? He only took a view from the top , she whispers as Dr.

Stevens walks back in .

He glares at her but puts the x ray up on the lightbox .

says Well , Alpha , your leg isnt salvageable .

Im afraid were going to have to remove it , he sa dispassionately , as if he didnt just tell me that my entire world was about to collapse around me .

I feel my stomach clench and my heart skips a beat .

At the same time , I hear Yara suck in air .

Dr.

Yara , what do you think ? I ask her .

If she has any suggestions for me to save this leg .

Im doing it .

I dont care how much pain itll cause me , or how long it will take me to recover .

Ive been an Alpha for twelve years .

Before that , I was an Alpha in training .

Without my rank , without a pack to lead and protect , I have no idea who I am .

She looks at me , then at Dr.

Stevens who is glaring at her again .

Doctor ? he asks condescendingly .

Hes of the old school mindset where women are nurses , meant to be at the beck and call of a male doctor .

Its another reason he has to go .

My nurses are constantly complaining and threatening to leave .

Studying to be , but I would suggest getting x rays of the sides of the leg before determining if the leg has to be removed , she says , more confidently than I was expecting .

She may not be comfortable around me , or even in the pack , but here , in this hospital room , her confidence is clear .

You heard her , Dr.

Stevens .

Side x rays , I say , seeing her glance at me appreciatively for supporting her .

In truth , Im thankful shes giving me an option , any option to save my leg .

Young lady , what are your credentials ? he demands .

HER credentials are not in whats in question , doctor .

I gave you the order .

Side x rays ! NOW ! I bark .

Yara jumps as I yell , but really , this asshole is going to tell me my leg needs to be removed and think that Im not going to fight it ? He continues to glare at Yara while he does the x rays , and when he comes back , he puts them on the lightbox and turns to her with a sneer on his face .

Im about ready to come off this table and rip that look off his smug face .

13:04 My Claws Were Sharp , But Chapter 10 What do you think now , doctor ? he asks , as if questioning the truth in her title .

Yara walks to the lightbox , looking closely at first one , then the other x ray , Do you have the original ? she ask turning to Dr.

Stevens .

He huffs , but hands it to her and she sets it up on the lightbox beside the others .

She stands back , her head tilting from one side to the other .

Yara ? I ask , unable to stop the flutter of hope in my chest .

We can salvage the leg , she says , turning to me and making me sigh in relief .

Youve got to be joking ! Dr.

Stevens says .

His leg is shattered ! Yes , it is .

And it will take a lot of time and patience .

But Alpha Warren has time , and I have patience , she says , looking at me .

Do it , I tell her , putting my future into this womans hands and hoping I wont regret it .
