Sanctuary A Hidden Pack New Edition (by Ylyanah) novel Chapter 10

Jace

Dad called me to his office, but he didn't want to tell me what it was about, and I try to figure out if I did something to upset him. The last time he sounded like this was to inform me I had to pick a Gamma; Dad doesn't believe a female can be a Gamma, and I agree with him wholeheartedly.

Lakota may be our Gamma's Daughter, but she will never become my Gamma, and I think it would distract visiting Alphas too much if she was in the same room. She is a gorgeous female at 5'9" in height, with black hair, turquoise eyes, and an hourglass figure. She is toned and tanned from all the training she does, but she will never be this Pack's Gamma.

I knock on the office door and I wait until I hear my Father say through the mind-link to come in. I open the door to find only my Father inside, and that surprises me to say the least; normally his Beta or my Mother is present. This time it is just the two of us, and I start to wonder if I screwed up something major.

"Jace, when you turn eighteen, it will be one more day before the Days of the Full Moon starts, and you will be able to find your Mate.

However, if that Mate is less than a Beta's Daughter, you will reject her and find yourself a chosen Mate. A Beta's Daughter or an Alpha's Daughter will be what you will choose.

If your fated Mate is from another Pack, you will take her home before you reject her."

I interrupt him to ask him why I would need to take my fated Mate home before I could reject her.

"You need a strong heir for our Pack, and your fated Mate will guarantee that even if you have rejected her.

I did the same with your Mother, and after you were born, I Alpha commanded her to hand you over, to never come near you again or to mention that she was your Mother. Our Luna is not your biological Mother, but I Alpha commanded her to raise you as her own Pup and to put your needs before those of any Pups we would ever have." He says.

I let the information sink in, and suddenly the difference between Carl and Jane makes sense; our Beta did the same thing to his Mates as my Father had done. I tell him I have to Alpha command my leadership to do the same, and the nod of his head proves my guess about Carl.

"Dad, I won't disappoint you. I will take Jane as my chosen Mate; she knows the Pack and the Pack knows her. Most already know that we have been sleeping with one another for a few months now, so telling them we are fated Mates won't be that difficult." I state, and I see a smile form on his face.

I find my Mate the night after I turn eighteen, and to say I am surprised is putting it mildly; I am paired with a Wolfless Gamma. Jane is with me when I find out that Lakota is my fated Mate, and the look I see in Jane's eyes doesn't promise anything good.

"Jane, don't worry. Let's tell everyone we are fated Mates and that we will mark one another on the night we take over as Alpha and Luna. When Lakota turns eighteen, I will reject her, and you will do the same thing if you find your fated Mate before I mark you." I say to her before I cup her face to kiss her.
