My Claws Were Sharp, But His Love Cut Deeper Novel

Chapter 11 Yaras POV Im not sure if Alpha Warren brought me here because he recognized me as his mate and he didnt have the strength to reject me in the woods , or if he knew that his pack doctor was well past his retirement years .

Either way , Im here and since I am , Ill help this Alpha .

This is the reason I chose medicine .

He doesnt have to lose his leg .

It will take a lot of effort on my part , but Im excited to finally get to work on a werewolf , an Alpha no less .

Im assuming you want to do this now , Alpha ? I ask him .

Yes , the sooner the better .

Okay .

I give him the list of items that Ill need to get his bones put back together properly .

Oh , and well need to sedate you , I say , looking around the room to see how they have their hospital rooms set up .

Is this where … No.

Alpha Warren says .

I turn to look at him .

No ? No sedation .

Okay then , a nerve block , Ill just need … No , he says again .

Alpha , please , Im going to have to wash the area , scrub it clean , Im going to cut your leg open , pin your skin and muscle back so that I can get to the bones and then slowly put them back where they belong .

The pain will be excruciating .

You need the nerve block .

No , he says again , holding my gaze .

I finally look away , mumbling about stupid , stubborn Alphas .

When I turn back , hes watching me with a raised eyebrow as if he heard me .

I wasnt that loud , was 17 Crap , Ive been hanging around humans who cant hear anything for too long .

How much can he 13:05 Chapter 11 hear of my mumbling .

The irritable Dr.

Stevens comes in , throwing the things I asked for on the table .

I jump when I hear a warning growl , looking up to see Alpha Warren glaring at him .

Will there be anything else , doctor ? Dr.

Stevens asks .

He somehow makes my title , which is the same as his , sound like a dirty word .

No , thank you , doctor .

Ill take it from here .

I go to the sink and begin scrubbing my hands .

Im nervous for a lot of reasons .

First , Im in an unknown pack with an Alpha who is my mate .

I have no idea what to expect from him , or really why Im here .

And almost worse than that , he wants me to operate on him while hes awake ! What the hell kind of crazy Alpha is he ? Youre thinking so hard that theres steam coming out of your ears , Yara .

What are so worried about ? he asks me .

I turn and look at him over my shoulder .

How does he even know Im worried ? Why is he paying so much attention to me ? Is this the mate bond ? Ive only had exposure to two Alphas in my life , Simons father Alpha Solomon and Alpha Simon .

Alpha Solomon is a good Alpha , but he was never this in tune with what I was doing or thinking .

And Simon … a shiver of revulsion rolls through me .

He was in tune for a whole other reason .

The man gave me the creeps .

When I finish scrubbing my hands , I turn back to Alpha Warren .

I see hes waiting for a response to question .

This is going to be very painful .

Can I at least give you a local anesthetic ? his No , I need to be alert so I can protect my pack , he says .

You cant exactly protect your pack with only one leg , Alpha , I snap , my nerves making me bold .

Warren .

Call me Warren , and you said you could save my leg .

I can .

If you are under sedation and Im not worried about you flinching o while Im operating .

I have a very high tolerance to pain .

yanking your leg away 13:05 Chapter 11 That doesnt surprise me .

He wasnt even whimpering when Annika and I found him .

He also has multiple , very faint scars all over his body .

The man has been fighting in the pack wars for a long time .

He must have a very strong wolf that is able to heal him , over and over .

How strong is your wolf right now ? I ask , getting his leg prepped to wash .

I am very strong , little one , a deep voice says , and my eyes snap up as Annika begins purring in my head .

Warrens wolf is forward , answering for himself .

Warren smiles , once again looking as if he knows the effect his wolf is having on mine .

Can he hear Annika purring ? I shake my head , trying to clear it .

I need to focus my attention and NOT on Warrens incredible teakwood scent .

If I hold the bones in place , one at a time , how long will it take for you to set them ? I ask .

Not long , little one , he says but its practically a purr .

I am a very strong , powerful Alpha wolf .

The way he says it isnt bragging , but more like preening .

My brain flashes an image of a peacock strutting around flaunting his feathers for his chosen mate .

Right , I say , feeling my body responding to the deep tenor of his voice .

It feels like his voice is caressing the nerves in my body , making them all light up with a need Im unused to feeling , especially when Im about to do surge I look up into the intense , jade green eyes of Alpha Warren .

Are you ready , Alpha ? Warren , he corrects .

I nod .

Are you ready , Warren ? Yes , Yara .

I grit my teeth , hating that I know this is going to hurt him , but if he wont let me at least numb his leg , I cant help it.

I begin washing the blood off his leg , laying a wet cloth over the bloody area , careful that I dont tug on the bones that are still jutting out .

His body is covered with caked blood , guts , and bits of bone .

just like I thought it would be .

Under the teakwood scent , he smells like war and death .

Its good practice for me , learning how to ignore the smell of battle while I work .

I dont get this kind of training at the university .

13:05 Chapter 11 Talk to me , he says through gritted teeth .

What do you want to talk about ? I ask , not looking up as I begin to scrub the blood from his leg .

You know what you are to me ? he asks , although its more of a statement than a question .

My stomach feels like its twisting into knots .

Yes , I say without looking up .

After you have healed , you can reject me .

If you do it before , it could impact your healing .

I dont know why the thought of this man rejecting me feels so painful .

I dont even know him .

I have no intention of becoming his mate and returning to the packs , at least not until Im done with school anyway .

And this pack is much too close to Simon for my comfort.

Who says Im going to reject you ? he asks , sounding offended .

Now I do look up at him .

But Im a lone wolf What you are , is my future Luna .
