Chapter 38 (Jordan)

After our call, Dr. Braxton heads back to the bear clan. I got a room for two nights not sure what we might need to do while we were here. It’s good that I did because we have an Alpha meeting in the morning to talk about the packs.

After Dr. Braxton left, Jace and I sit in the room and work on our computers. I have a lot to catch up on from the pack, and so does Jace. Elijah is doing a great job and so is Jaxon, but there is more that needs to be done. With two of us out, the work is piling up.

“I think we should take volunteers who are willing to move temporarily to the new packs. Then the new Alphas and their mates won’t be alone. Maybe we could look at those that are thinking about moving to one of the new packs and this way, they can see if they are comfortable with it,” I say. I was staring off as I spoke, but now I refocus on Jace who is smiling at me.

I frown. “What?”

“I’d bet money that no other Alpha has considered giving up their pack members to help the new packs out,” he says.

“I’m sure they have. How else are these new packs going to get up and running. And we already know that some of our pack members are going to leave.

Some may want a new start, some may like the idea of being a part of building a new pack, and there are those who will be fighting for their positions as Beta and Gamma. I mean, there are lots of reasons why pack members may want to leave. This way, we give them the opportunity to truly see what they are in for, let them see if this is something that they truly want.”

Jace gets up from his chair and walks around the table, bending over and putting a hand on the table beside my computer. He leans in, his amber eyes shining.

“No, Jordan. Not everyone will think like you do. Not everyone will be okay with pack members leaving their packs. Not everyone will be gracious toward those that want to leave. That, my sweet mate, is the sign of a true Alpha,” he says, leaning in to me and stopping just at the point where I can feel the heat of his l*ips on mine.
