The Beta Trials by Cooper (Jace & Jordan)

Chapter 14 (Jordan)

I wish I could say I slept last night. I needed to sleep last night. I have a packhouse full of Alphas, Lunas, Betas, and Council members for the next few days and I need to be on top of my game, playing host, being a good Alpha, and still somehow running a pack. Not to mention, I may or may not be on the list of some rogue Alpha who wants to force a mate bond with me so he can take over my pack.

But, instead, all my mind did was replay that scene of Jace walking into the packhouse, holding Kaiden, his nose in his head of hair, breathing deeply and a look of happiness on his face. It is on endless repeat in my mind. Jace walking in, Jace’s desire to have a pup clearly written on his face, Jace’s look when he saw me, his eyes darkening with desire and then his t*ouch, a t*ouch that sent electricity through my body. It was as if I was dead before and now, I’ m so alive that I can’t even sleep.

When I crawl out of bed, dragging myself to the shower, I start to mentally prepare myself for the day.

When I step into the shower, I mind link Dalia, making sure that the breakfast food will be ready starting at 6 am for the visitors.

‘Yes, Alpha. Gamma Jace has already been down here making sure we had everything we need to make enough breakfast for everyone.’

‘Has he? And is there anything that you need?’

“No, Alpha. Gamma Jace made sure we had enough food already. He also double checked on our plans for lunch and dinner, and he approved our menus. Would you also like to see them?’

‘No, thank you, Dalia. If Jace approved them, then I’m sure it’s fine,’ I say.

I close that mind link and open one to Jace.

‘Thank you for checking on the food situation. What else needs to be done?’

‘You’re welcome and we didn’t talk about assigned seating. If you’re on your way downstairs, we can go over the room and where we want to put people,’ he says.

‘I’m still in the shower. I’ll be down in a few minutes.’

It’s quiet a moment and if I didn’t know better, I’d think he closed the mind link. I stop, soapy water dripping down my face from washing my hair.
