Chapter 67 – Jordan I stormed through the packhouse, rage rushing through me at everything Ellis had told me. How can he be so dismissive of his brother? He had to know that Miles was out of control. He had seen it as much as I had… ‘Baby, are you okay? I can feel you through the bond and you feel so angry. Has something happened?’ Gia’s voice, almost purrs at me through the mindlink, and instantly I feel better. D**n, I wish I could have stayed home with her… Sorry beautiful, I forget you can feel my emotions through that thing sometimes. Yeah, I am okay. I just saw Ellis, and something he said got on my nerves. Are you okay?’ I replied, not wanting her to be worried. She didn’t need to know all of my worries. I wanted her to enjoy her time here in the pack and not be caught up in all of these recent dramas, Yet, since the moment she had arrived, she had been trapped in every bit of the drama, and I hated that. It was not the welcome to my pack I wanted for my mate. ‘Yeah, I am just making some breakfast, then I am going to meet your Mum.’ She told me. ‘You think you will be long? I am missing you.’ ‘Who knows? Though I am missing you too, beautiful. You know I would be home with you if I could. But, I have no clue what my Uncle is wanting with me. Whether it is a quick chat, or more, a chat, and then he chooses to send me off to do something. Bearing in mind, I have just seen Ellis on the way to say goodbye to his Mum because he i aving for Alpha training.” 0.00% ‘What?’ I could hear a wobble in her tone even through the mindlink. You think they will be sending you away?” Okay, maybe mentioning Ellis being sent away for his Alpha training was not a good idea, the panic in Gia’s tone was more than evident. She clearly was no worrying I would be packed off somewhere now…. ‘Stop worrying Gia! I didn’t say that, did I? I have already done my Beta training. Though if Ellis took the Alpha role, I may well have wasted my time. Because he will get to choose his own Beta andContent © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
G** positions. So all my years of training and working toward that could be for nothing, and you may be mated to a standard pack member, I am sorry to say beautiful.’ I told her, suddenly anxious as to what she might think of that. And beginning to question if I should maybe have waited until I had got home until I spoke to her about this, and broke it to her properly. What if she didn’t want me? ‘Wait, first, let me just say, you think it would bother me for even a second if you were just a standard pack member, Jordan?’ her tone through the link was calmer this time. Determined almost. ‘But I would be hurting for you. Because I know how much it means to you. This is your family heritage. Something you have dreamed of since being a young boy. Trained for since being at young boy too. Doing all those extra training sessions. You were meant to be a Beta, so for you to lose that chance would break your heart, I know it would. But, I know that they would be doing what was right for the pack, removing Miles. So do you. You have said yourself how dangerous he is, baby.” And, despite all her words messing with my mind, and the fact it would hurt so much, I know she is right. I would have to find a way to accept what comes. With the training I had done I could 11 maybe look to That would still give me a purpose within the pack… ‘Look beautiful, I need to go and speak to my Uncle. He will get grumpy as hell if I keep him waiting, but I will be back to you the moment I can. But thank you. Your words mean the world to me. And you were right. I will find a way to accept whatever comes.’ I told her as I cut the link, rushing through the remainig part of the packhouse corridors toward the Alpha office, ignoring everyone I passed along the way. Definitely not in the mood for polite conversation this morning. I took a deep breath as I reached the door, trying hard to prepare for the conversation that could possibly await me inside, before knocking lightly on the door. “Come in.” My Uncle’ s voice bellowed from inside. Great, he was already sounding stressed, and the day had barely started! I opened the door, and walked in, trying hard to disguise my nerves. “Good morning Uncle Marshall.” I greeted him, only for him to simply nod at me from his seat behind his large wooden desk in the corner of the room, covered in papers. He never seemed to get through his paperwork
well, and I know it drove my Dad mad. He was forever saying he was the most disorganized man in the world… I walked to the seat on the opposite side of the desk, and sat myself down. “Is everything okay Uncle?” I asked, feeling even more nervous now, because he hadn’t even looked up from his papers on his desk. His face etched into a deep frown. “Hmm?” he looked up at me, just as there was another knock at the door, causing my Uncle to sigh. “Come in!” he ordered once again, and this time a pack omega walked in with a tray of 59 07% 11:10 1258 Vouchers breakfast food and some fresh coffees. The smell of the food filled my senses, causing my belly to rumble. I hadn’t realized how hungry I was, but knowing my Uncle was waiting for me, I had rushed out of the house, not wanting to keep him waiting. “I’d say someone sounds hungry! I had banked on you having not eaten. Bet that new mate of yours is keeping you busy.” My Uncle chuckled at me, standing up and taking the tray from the omega. “Thank you.” he nodded at her, before walking toward the sofa across his office. “Come on son, we need to chat.”
