Chapter 172

I'm nervous is an understatement. I hate to admit that I've never been on a date before. I'm the King and before that, I was a prince. Things like dating were never something I needed to consider given the range of women who would line up to get a piece of me. Pernicious Nelson Prince is not just some woman and I've been enjoying the company she brings. Under all that rage and military training, she's kind of a brat and I'm living for it. She doesn't ask for much, but I'd like her to ask for this. My attention and I want to give her as much of it as she demands.

Nova is brand new. It's the same age as Alpha Scofield's eldest son and he just turned nineteen. The main trajectory of this pack is education and business. With that said, their battle training is the best I've ever seen from a pack this small.

The borders are all covered and no one would ever know. It's like stepping into another world or a timeline based on a future society. It's designed to help alphas and betas transition into the era of technology and business while maintaining their traditions in a way that doesn't result in them killing one another. The graduation rate here is eighty-two percent.

The housing is strange. Each house is built in its own clearing and gated. The buildings were built and designed to keep the forest and fields intact. One of the biggest pastimes here is hunting in wolf form.

Every restaurant and deli sells its fresh kills. Deer, moose, fish, and rabbit are favorites. There is an abundance of cattle all around-cows, goats, and bison. The preferred method of transportation is walking or horseback riding. Some of the teens in their influencer days have dirt bikes and dune buggies.

Andromeda has taken to the norms here and loves showing off her side saddle skills.

I've been pacing my study for a little over an hour. It's bothering Silas and he's been on edge since James returned late last night. He's made himself scarce. I heard him asking Perry if it were okay for him to get his own apartment in town. She declined and told him that as long as he was her asset he would be staying in the main house. She did, however, give him the spare room across from him so he could set up whatever he wanted.

"Would you sit down?" Silas finally snaps. I growl at him. "She's not going to be unimpressed with what you planned, Jo. Perry likes you for whatever reason. You're married and given how calm you've been since she's returned-"

"Enough," I sit at my desk.

"What's the problem?"

"We have nothing in common," there. I said it out loud.
