Chapter 129
The boy seemed perfectly healthy, and Sara forced him to say “Thank you” for healing him before he snatched an orange from the bag and scampered off.
“Alpha Samson put me, my niece, grandson, and a couple of others up here,” she said, pouring my tea for me. The others are living in the packhouse as Omega laborers.”

“I hope everyone is happy here,” I said.
She nodded. “The Alpha has been very kind to us; hasn’t charged us a penny for any of this.” She gestured around the tiny house. “He’s a good man.”
I smiled. “I know.” I nudged the bag closer to her. “Please accept my gifts. I don’t need them, and I thought you might like them.”
