Chapter 98-1
“We would be honoured. I would be honoured. I will do my best to live up to the standard of Beta, we have had two of the best wolves for the role,” Jake told us. I smiled.
“I think you will be amazing. It’s clear you both are dedicated to the pack and you are brilliant, Jake,” I said. “And I will be here to hand things over to you.” Finlay placed a kiss on the back of my hand.
“I’m happy you accepted. We will need a day or two for Amie to clear out the office and you have earned some time off. But we expect you to be ready to join in any meeting of the top tier starting today. I will announce it to the pack at lunch,” he said.
“Yes, Alpha.” We let them get on with their day. They had a lot to talk about and they needed to tell their children as well.
“So. What is up next on that list of yours?” Finlay asked.
“Speaking to my parents. Elder and Becky won’t be home for another couple of days, but I don’t want to wait.”
“We can do it here, or we can do it at home.”
“At home, on the porch. I will make us some lemonade,” I said.
“You have the best ideas,” he told me.
You seem excited,” I remarked as we were walking back to our house, hand in hand, with a pitcher of lemonade I had made in the pack kitchen as we still hadn’t had time to shop and our fridge was empty.
“I like your parents. I enjoy talking to them and they always make me feel like I’m part of the family. It’s nice.” He can be so adorable, I thought as he got glasses while I got comfortable on the couch out back. I sent a text to my parents asking if it was okay to call. They answered almost straight away we could call when we were ready. Finlay poured the lemonade and sat down next to me with his arm around me. I called my dad and he and my mom showed up on my screen.
“Hi,” both Finlay and I said at the same time. My parents‘ smiles grew bigger.
“Hello you two, did you make it back safely?” my mom asked.
“Yes, it was an uneventful trip,” Finlay told her.
“And the pack?” she wanted to know. I laughed.
“They got a nice surprise. I think they have received the news well,” said.
“Don’t listen to her,” Finlay objected. “The pack is ecstatic.” I elbowed him as my parents laughed.
“Have a look at this mom,” I said as a way to distract her and let the camera show the garden, the wildflower covered meadow beyond it, the creek and the woods.
Oh my. That is an amazing garden,” I heard her say. I put the camera back on us.

I watched my parents pale and my father’s face took on a hard look. Again, I got a feeling I was making their lives harder. It was as I was thrown back ten years in time.
