I was anxious but she was awake, that was a good thing right? I couldn't stop my leg from shaking, my nerves playing up. What if something was really wrong with her?

Life threatening even.

"Stop that please". Jake placed his hand on top of my knee. "I know you're nervous babe but she's awake that's a good sign".

"Sorry I'm just scared". I was overthinking again just like always. "She's my gran". I whispered. I didn't have anyone else. Yes I had Jake and all my friends here. Lana was here, Jake's family as well but technically the one constant was my gran. "And she's going to be fine". He took my hand in his not letting it go until we reached the hospital. Parking the car I noticed my uncle Zac standing outside, he was on the phone.

"I feel like something is going on". He had barely said two words to me since they got here and that wasn't like him. It was like his mind was elsewhere, focused on something else.

"He wants Carter to move back home".

"Zac is a Beta, second in command". He undid his seat belt, I followed suit waiting for him to continue. "Which means Carter is a Beta also but I already have my Beta". I still wasn't catching on to what he meant. "And he can't be that here?".

"Unfortunately not babe. It's a powerful position, Zac wants him to come home so he can take his place when he steps down, it's his birth right".

"What about Alanna, I thought he joined your pack?". I was so confused by how it all worked.

"If he decides to go home then Alanna would go with him". He shrugged. "It's a lot to give up". Placing his hand on my knee he squeezed before sighing. "What?".

"I can't see Alanna leaving here".
