Doc Featherstone's Return Read Online Free PDF

starving himself for so long. After he ate his fill, he pushed the tray to the side and laid down.
    “Is that all you’re going to eat?” Featherstone nagged.
    “I promise I can’t eat another bite,” Ash said, his eyelids already drooping closed.
    He was relieved when the doc didn’t push the issue, instead turning to talk to Jacyn. Ash fell into a comfortable sleep, the sound of Featherstone’s voice soothing him.

Chapter Four
    nce he was sure that Ash was resting and O comfortable, Joshua went to Mitchell’s office for an update. He knocked once he reached the door.
    Dean answered, a bright smile on his face.
    “We’re so glad that you’re back,” he said.
    “Well, when you send somebody like Shane to come fetch me, I really don’t have a choice, do I?”
    Joshua retorted.
    “Shane would never hurt you.”
    “I know, but he can be very persuasive when he wants to be, even to those he calls friend.”
    Dean laughed. “You do have a point. Come in, we have a lot of catching up to do.”
    Joshua walked in and immediately sensed that Mitchell was upset. The leader was hunched over his desk, and his hair was messed up from running his hands through it. Joshua looked back over at Dean and noticed that while he had been
smiling, he, too, showed signs of strain. There were tense lines around his eyes and a worried appearance in his gaze.
    “What’s going on?” Joshua asked.
    “My brother Chris is at war with another pack that wants their land,” Dean explained.
    “How long has this been happening?” Joshua inquired.
    “It just started. We’re worried, not only because it’s our siblings who are involved, but because of Cassie’s pregnancy. Who knows what that kind of stress can do to her. This is the last thing she needs right now,” Mitchell said, running his hands through his hair.
    “Are you going to send backup to help him?”
    Joshua asked.
    “That’s just it, I can’t. Chris has to win this war on his own or else it will make him look weak as an Alpha to all the other Wolf packs,” Mitchell bit out.
    “That doesn’t make any sense,” Joshua exclaimed.
    “It’s a Wolf thing,” Dean said, as if that explained everything.
    “Can’t you do anything?” Joshua said.
    “Not that we’ve been able to think of,” Mitchell said, with an irritated sigh.
    They were silent for a moment before Dean snapped his fingers. “I have an idea that may just
help some.”
    “What?” Mitchell asked.
    “Why don’t you ask Shane if he knows of any assassins who would be willing to work for my brother’s pack? If they were to swear loyalty to him, then they would be technically members of his pack, so Chris would be able to use them and still save face. They may just be enough muscle to help him win the war. Or, at the very least, they could assign them to protect Cassie.”
    Mitchell got up from the chair, grabbed Dean into a hug and spun him around a few times. “You are the most brilliant mate in the world. Call Shane and have him come right here.”
    While Dean was making the call, Joshua turned his attention back to Mitchell. “How have you been feeling?”
    Mitchell shrugged. “My leg still bothers me from time to time, but otherwise I’m fine.”
    “Does Dean still have panic attacks when you go out on missions?” Joshua asked.
    Joshua was the only one outside of Mitchell’s family who was privy to such information. It was a closely guarded secret since Mitchell was the leader of the coalition and they didn’t want to make him or his mate look weak.
    “Yes, but we’re learning to deal with it. The pills you gave him help some. I have to admit that when Jacyn was shot, it didn’t help matters any.
Even though Jacyn wasn’t hurt that badly. It just brought up a whole bunch of bad memories for Dean.” Mitchell let out a deep breath. “Damn that bitch and her Ravens. They’re still managing to fuck with us even after they’re dead. If I could, I would kill her all over
