Sanctuary A Hidden Pack New Edition (by Ylyanah) novel Chapter 24

Lance

I enjoy the fake fight between Alpha Keir and his Brother, the Alpha of Silver Lotus Pack. His Mate tells him to take it easy, but I guess she gets as much response as if she had been talking to a tree. Keir is cheering them on, and most of us join him as I look at Lakota holding her namesake.

I tell them my story after Lakota has told them hers, and I listen to the others as I hear things about my former Pack I was never aware of; it seems Alpha Geofry is a sadistic ass. I am glad we all got out when we did, because I doubt Jace will be a better Alpha than his Father.

I see it in Lakota's eyes the moment she turns to face Marcos; she is going to cause major trouble for someone, and Bolt is rolling around in my head as she is talking to the female while she is looking into Marcos' eyes. Colton and I step in front of her the moment she walks towards Lakota, not that she needs us to protect her.

"Lance, I would like to talk to you after lunch," Lakota says through our mind-link, and I tell her that I will be available when she is ready. Lunch is spent in the private living room on the Alpha floor, and Alpha Keir gets a chance to catch up with his family. Lakota is enjoying some time to get to know her Nephew.

"Uncle Chris, can I use your office for a while?" Lakota asks, and as she leads me to his office, I wonder why she is taking me there. Instead of sitting down behind his desk, she sits down on the couch and tells me to sit down next to her. I take the seat as I try to figure out what she wants to talk about.

She stuns me to silence when she asks me what I know about my Father. I tell her that he died shortly after I turned a year old and that Mom still had trouble talking about him. I knew he had been on border patrol when he died, but other than that, I knew nothing about him.

"Lance, I know you have already been through enough, and I hate to be the bearer of more bad news. When your Father died, he was Alpha Geofry's Beta," she says, and Bolt roars as we both realize that my Uncle took my birthright away from me.

Lakota places her hand on my knee, and I turn to look at her as I understand she wasn't done yet.

"I don't know why your Mother never said anything, but I think I understand why Alpha Geofry was glad your Uncle took the position. Your parents were fated Mates, and he suspected that you would never do to your fated Mate what the rest of them have done.

I can understand that you are not happy with what you found out, but I need you to see the silver lining in this case, and that is that you didn't have to be Jace's Beta," she says with a smirk on her face.

"Fuck, she is right. Can you imagine being stuck there and dealing with that Shithat on a daily basis?" Bolt asks.
