Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

The breakfast was served later the day after the full moon. Everyone heeded a sleep–in, and I didn’t object. The conversation around the table when we did sit down to eat was focused on ine and my sh. Everyone wanted to know how it felt and tell me i had looked fierce. It was a little embarrassing, but I did my best to listen to them. When we were done, Finlay asked me if I was ready for our talk. I didn’t see the point of postponing it; I had decided the night before.

“Let’s head for my office in my house. It will give us some privacy,” said, casting a meaningful look at the rest of the people around the table. They all looked like they had no idea what he was alking about. Finlay’s house was next to the pack house. It was a good size two–story house with dark shingles and stone corners. 1 had a small porch looking out over the driveway of the pack house. He showed me inside and 1 tried not to be too obvious about rying to look at everything. The inside was cosy, but it didn’t have any of the mementos I was expecting. I was reminded of my mother making jokes about how my father’s apartment had been. practically barren before he met her. I followed Finlay into an officet looked much more personal than the living room had. I guessed he spent more time in his office than the rest of the house, had bookshelves on two of the walls, a desk in front of windows showing his garden and the stream beyond it. There was able with six chairs around it and a whiteboard on the wall. In the corner, two armchairs stood, Finlay gestured to them and I took seat in one of them. It was amazingly comfortable, and I sank

into it.

“So?” he said as he had sat down in the other.

“You want my decision?” I asked, teasing him. He smiled.

“I do.“1 nodded and turned serious.

I will happily accept your offer,” I told him. His smile turned up and grew brighter.

“I know you would. I’m happy that you did.”

“But I need to be of use to the pack. I’m used to working and I don’t do well at not having things to do,” I added. He nodded.

“Everyone contributes to the pack,” he told me. “If it’s by having a job outside the pack or helping with joint chores, it’s all appreciated.” I nodded. “I think I have another task in mind for you, if you think you are up to it.”

“That piqued my curiosity,” I said. He chuckled..

pack.” I was stunned.

“I do, and I’m not about to replace them. But I have a feeling you have had a lot more training in taking on such roles than the rest of us. To tell you the truth, in our old pack, those that weren’t groomed to take on a role in the top rank, weren’t allowed to take part in any of those activities. We have been winging it so far with the help of relying on what feels right and my aunt’s advice. I’m going to offer you the role as pack advisor. What do you think?” What did I think? It was true I had spent a lot of time with my father and my uncles while they did their work. And I had listened to my brother and James when they had talked about their training. My Uncle Jonas and my father had given me tasks, as I enjoyed figuring out schedules and putting plans together.

“I can give it a try. We can see if my knowledge can help you and the pack,” I told him. Ite nodded. “And I will need someone to drive me back to town so I can give my notice and pack my things.” He frowned but nodded,

“We can head back today. I’ll help you pack and if you don’t have room in your car, suggested.

“I appreciate it. My holiday is over tomorrow and I can’t just leave. Ce and Mrs Jones deserve more than that. I need to hand in my resignation and work until Mrs Jones finds a replacement,” I told him. I could see he didn’t like it. He thought about it for a while.

“Okay, I can understand you have obligations you can’t just abandon You are loyal, it’s a good quality. I’ll get you back there today and then you will give me a call when you have talked to your boss and we will arrange when you can come back home.”

“I can make the drive back here on my own. I don’t own that much and my car is more than capable of holding it all,” I said. He shook his head.

“You will call me and I will send someone,” he insisted.
