Chapter 31

“I won’t let anything happen to her and she’s not going anywhere, I promise. I’ll discuss it with Dad tonight after dinner.”

She nodded with damp eyes, and kissed my cheek again and turned to leave, for real this time. Before she closed the door behind her, I heard the concern in Kelsey’s voice and knew she was trying to console my sister. That was just the type of person Kelsey Adams was. And clearly, she was a fighter and survivor too. My heart ached knowing she had been through something so terrible she

couldn’t even talk about it.

Dinner at Mom’s was always entertaining. Just me, my dad, my mom, and my siblings. Aside from Elise and Lily there were our two brothers, Liam, Lily’s twin, and Chase the baby of the family. It was the one night a week we set aside for just the seven of us. Every other night was devoted to the pack as was our responsibility.

After dinner, I didn’t have to ask Dad if we could talk privately because he pulled me into his office

before I could.

“So, I’m going to get right to the point because I know your mother whines when we spend too much time on family night discussing pack business, but son, you’ve put me in a bit of a bind here.”

“What?” I was confused about what he was talking about. “What have I done?”

“Tell me about the little lone wolf you have apparently employed.”

I know my face flushed. I couldn’t help it. Even though I was planning to discuss the same with him, I was taken back that he brought it up.

Dad stayed quiet and watched me with open curiosity after my little slip up, waiting for me to compose myself enough to speak.

“It wasn’t my idea to hire her, Dad. I think Elise and Lily were too curious about her not to reach out. But honestly, she’s the best admin I could ever hope for.

I watched my dad sigh heavily and lean back in his chair and pinch the bridge of his nose

“Your sisters have made it clear they’ve already befriended the little wolf and now she’s gotten to you too. You three are putting me in a very uncomfortable position. I cannot appear weak in from of the pack by allowing the blatant disrespect of a lone wolf strolling into town, settling in our territory

and not even having the common courtesy to come to me.”

“I know this puts you in a difficult position, Dad, but Elise and I have discussed and we really thank something traumatic happened to her. She never recognizes her wolf in our presence. I mean not at all, Dad. I’ve even tried to push alpha command over her and nothing. If it wasn’t for her smell, no one would ever suspect she was even a shifter.
