All Chapters of The Healer: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Tori POV I grab onto Victor’s arm as I scan the angry crowd around me. They continue to stare at me with contempt and distrust in their eyes. Victor is shouting to them to stand back, but no one listens. I am pulled from Victor and thrown to the ground. I look up at my assailant and see angry eyes peering back at me. He raises his hand as if to strike me when I hear a tremendous roar that shakes the ground. “Enough! Stand down, now!” Everything is dead quiet except for the pounding footsteps I hear coming closer. “How dare you attack her!” I see Rick stand before me as he glares at his people. Everyone has their head bowed. He reaches down to grab my hand while still eyeing the crowd. “Are you hurt?” He looks me over for any signs of injury. “No, I’m fine Alpha.” I brush the grass of my pants and stand behind Victor while Rick addresses the angry mob. I could hear low growls coming from Rick and I instinctively latch onto

Tori POVI stood staring at Victor, my mind reeling from what he just said.“W-what?” He smiled showing his pearly white teeth and kissed my knuckles again.Suddenly, he wraps his hands around my waist and pulls me to his hard body. I slide my hands down to his shoulders and tilt my head back so I could see him. I wait for him to say something. Without a word, his gaze traveled over my face and searched my eyes for any disapproval. My mind wondered off to thoughts I should not have. I could not deny the spark of excitement at the prospect of more than just his touch. The sweet intoxicating musk of his body was overwhelming me. I felt his hand travel up my backside and his fingers laced themselves in my hair. I could feel the blush of my cheeks as his breath fanned over my face. He leaned down slowly until his lips brushed against mine. So soft, so tender, so gentle. “Victor” With that, he smashed his lips against mine until the calmness of our minds wa

Tori POV About twenty minutes later, we arrive back to the packhouse. I jump off Ivan, and he shifts back into Victor. As I’m trying to look away but subtly stealing a peak at his very impressive, muscled physique, he reaches into a tree stump and grabs a pair of shorts. I hear him chuckle as he pulls them up. “So, was that exciting or what?” He glanced down at me with a cat ate the canary look. “Honestly, I was terrified, but… “ Victor lost his smile to an expectant one. “It felt wonderful! Like I was flying! Amazing! And exciting.” I couldn’t help but laugh in giddiness at how wonderful it was to be with Victor and Ivan running through the forest. We’ll definitely have to do that again. “I’m glad. I’ve never had that before. Ivan doesn’t like people touching him. “ “Can I speak to Ivan?” He nodded and closed his eyes. A moment later, his eyes were black and a stern look on his face. “Hello Ivan”

Victor POV I pulled up to the driveway at Tori’s Cape Cod and shut the engine. I walked around to her side and opened the door for her and took her hand to help her out. I followed her to the door and watched her pull out her keys and put them in the lock and opened the door. “Good night, Tori. I will see you….” I started to step off the porch when she caught my hand. “Victor…. Please come in.” She pulled my hand before letting go and entering the foyer. She turned and looked expectantly over her shoulder. “Tori, I don’t think…. “ She raised her eyebrows at me and put her hands on her hips. She was absolutely adorable looking, trying to be macho. “Please, come in…. “ She said more sternly and stepped aside for me to enter. I guess this is her way of telling me I have no choice. Technically, she does outrank me as an Alpha’s daughter. If she gave a command, I would have to obey. I don’t think she knows that

Tori POV Wow! I can’t believe I have a wolf! I knew I’ve had one since I was thirteen, but a wolf I will actually shift into! I’ve always been jealous over those in the pack that could shift into a wolf. I remember some of the warriors shifting into their majestic wolves so I could run with them on their back. I can only imagine the freedom one has running so fast and agile through the forest and feeling the wind rush through their fur. I’ve always wanted to be a part of that. Now I hopefully can. I just have to learn how to contact my wolf and get her to talk to me. I wonder if she likes me, even just a little bit. Oh my God, what if she hates me! What if I’m too ugly, or not smart enough! What if I’m not strong enough for her. Oh, I’m going to be such a disappointment to her, when all I’ve ever wanted was to have a wolf I could spoil and talk to and run free with. I wonder when it will happen. Do I have to do anything or say something to get her to shift? Who can I t
