Chapter 139: Checking In Sophie

We had an early G**a ceremony, earlier than usual as something like that would usually have a celebration that would extend well into the night and early morning. However, since we all have to leave around 2am, Penny and Jaime's G**a ceremony was a bit muted. Hunter promised that we could have a real celebration after Alaric had been dealt with.

I was proud of our pack. As stressed as everyone is, they embraced Penny as their G**a, knowing that she's underage. They also embraced Jaime and when I asked Hunter about it, he said it was his fighting skill.

"He's really good, Soph. Like, really good. I can see why his previous Alpha felt intimidated by him. If he is anything like Aiden or Owen, Jaime would have had no problem defeating him for their Alpha title." "How do Alphas like that stay in power? If they aren't strong, if they can't defeat every member of their pack, how to they remain the leaders?"

"The short answer is that they kill their competitors or threaten their families. Fear and intimidation don't make a strong pack, but it makes a dutiful one."

"Dutiful. What a c**y word. Do you think anyone in our pack feels like it's their duty to submit to any of us?" I ask him.

He smiles at me. "Why don't ask them?"

And I did. I got up on the stage where Penny and Jaime had so recently taken their vows as our G**as, I stopped the party and asked our pack if they felt that their allegiance to me and Hunter was because of duty rather than choice.

"Um, excuse me, Luna, but what are you asking? It is our duty to submit to you. I think I speak for the entire pack when I say that we all willingly fulfill that duty, but it is a duty. That's how a pack runs. There's a hierarchy and we all have our place, a duty to the pack," Lucas says, frowning at me.

speak at once about how different our pack was and how happy they were to be a part of our pack. "It's our choice, Luna. And I won't lie and say that choice was always easy. You and Alpha Hunter keep us on our toes by constantly pushing the old ways out and by protecting those who are running from the mistreatment of other packs. But that just makes me prouder to be a part of this
