Chapter 198

Alpha Emris.

“Wren, you’re welcome. I gesture for her to sit

But before she’s even seated, she’s smiling deeply, looking around the office of the pack house dream. At Rockville. I gave Wren some assignments in research and she did sacht a good jobs the her working in the Covenant Pack.

We have one good researcher in the pack, and the dude is old. An elder, for that matter. And you know Thate elders. So I need a young person who’s ready to work. I believe it’s her since she’s good at catcheng

I gave her an extract of some pack patterns, and she found another possible pattern while figuring o pattern came from. That came as a surprise to me.

A

Oh, and the pattern is to find out why there is a Lycan and trybrid in the line of our family. And how born in the Black Covenant from thousands of years ago have such similarities to us.

“I can’t believe I’m in the Black Covenant Pack!” Wren’s voice is breathless. “Oh moons! You have no idea what you’ve for me. Alpha Emris. Where I come from, we’re not selected for things like this but you’ve made my dream come true

I put a glass of scotch in front of her and think about it for a second.

“Creed. Get some refreshments for her.” I turn back to Wren. “You’re welcome. And you can stop saying thank you.”

“I’m sorry-”

“And don’t apologize. Unless you did something bad.” I sit and she slaps her own face lightly to contain her exciteme makes me chuckle before I school my face back.

“Demetra is gonna be back home in about three hours-*

“I’M SORRY. Did you say Demetra!?”

“Yeah-”

“We were on FaceTime just two days ago. Ugh, I miss her already. I wonder what she’s doing. WAIT—” She sits up straight “Did you say Demetra is going to be home very soon? As in……she lives in the Black Covenant Pack”

I cross my legs, close my eyes briefly, and put one hand over my nose.

Imagine how excited and shocked she is that she has this job and now I’m gonna add to it that Demetra lives here and is my

mate.

“Yes. She lives here because she’s my mate.”

Creed drops the glass of water at the same time and Wren stands up in shock so I guess that answers what happens to glass of water!

“Oh, shit! Shit, shit! Demetra is…Demetra is…Demetra..your-

炒

“Mate.” I say it flatly.

Wren looks left and right. Creed grumpily gets down to his knees to take care of the mess from the floor the water has

created.

“The opposite?” She smiles nervously

I laugh but then harden my face. “You’re not upset at her, are you?”

“Of course not! If Demetra hid it, she must have had good reasons. Demetra was the one person who stood up to me Cassie and actually taught her a lesson. I think she’s a goddess on earth. So of course, I’m not upset at her. I guess I just ha so many questions now…you guys have a kid?”

“A little girl. I have a son from a previous marriage.” I push the file to her because now it’s time to talk about her here to the pack.

“That’s Creed” I point behind her. Wren pushes her glasses up to look all the way up at him before slowly nodding

“I want you to research everything you can about the Barbarian Pack Wolves.”

Wren’s eyes widen so I want to believe she already has an idea of what I’m talking about.

“Bar–barian wolves.”

“Yes. Arguably the most volatile pack in recorded existence. They’re also the closest in age to the Black Covenant Pack in terms of origin and they carry the highest population count of any pack currently active.”

“Yes, Alpha. I know that.”

“Good” I tap the file. “I was hoping you did. Because these bastards are migrating-

“Whenever the Barbarian Wolves are migrating, they’re heading somewhere!” She finishes my sentence.

“You’re smart” Creed tells her

“I told you she was smart,”

Wren takes the compliment and smiles.

“I need you to find out if they’re migrating because of me.”

“W–what?” Wren’s mouth falls

Others because Tryint and exmain wolves cannot touch me directly so they spend their energy finding alternate routes.

I’m bringing you on today as part of the Delta research unit. You’ll have your own workspace in the pack house and full access to the library. You can start today information is available”

I’m in a hurry to get whatever

“Got it. Alpha

“And this is between you and me. You are not to tell Demetra about what I have you investigating

Wren blinks. “But she’s the Luna.”

“Yeah. But I employed you.”

She nods at that.

“Demetra is gonna be here in a few hours-”
