Chapter 0409
After speaking with Jack, Grace and I head back to our cabin. We’re only there for a moment when Angel and Liam knock.
“May we come in?” Angel asks.
for the
I stand back, gesturing to enter. “Of course.”
Grace puts on a pot of coffee, and we s
in the small seating area of the cabin. “You saw my
interactions with Jude this afternoon at lunch?” Angel jumps right in.
“Yes. He seemed edgy around his Alpha.” I say.
“Alpha Paul. He is the son of the Alpha that was in his position when my family ran from the pack.” Angel clarifies as Grace brings over a tray of coffee, cream and sugar.
As Grace pours the coffee, Angel continues. “He approached me after lunch. He’s heard of your pack, and he’s been wanting to leave the Great River Pack, but he didn’t know where to go.”
She looks at Liam, who nods before she continues. “He’s afraid to come to our pack, thinking his Alpha will look for him there.”
“Not that it would matter, once we make him our pack member.” Liam cuts in.
“But he doesn’t want to deal with what my family dealt with, basically being hunted by the pack. He wants to know if he could join your pack.”
“My pack, your pack. I’m with Liam, I’m not sure that it matters.” I look at Grace. “But we’d be happy to take him and his family in.” I pause. “Does he understand that our pack is still under construction, and he will have to put a lot of work into it?”
It’s Liam who answers. “I was very clear with him about that. Apparently, they are being taxed nearly to starvation in the pack, so being able to build his own home is a very exciting option for
him.”
I rub my hands down my face. “I was worried about this. We know some of these packs are mistreating their pack members because they are now in our pack. I worry that we’ll have an even larger influx of people coming to our borders now that they know who, what and where we are.”
Grace reaches out, putting her hand on my arm. “We’ll find a place for anyone that needs it. Everyone deserves a chance. You and I both know that.”
I turn back to Angel and Liam. “He and his family are welcome. Do you know how he plans to get there? It’s a long way from Minnesota to Georgia.”
Angel looks at Liam. “We’re going to help him with that. We just wanted to make sure that you were willing to take them in before we told him.”
We talk briefly about the Beta battles tomorrow, Liam and I good naturedly taunting each other. that our Betas will win.
When they leave. I turn to look at Grace. “We may need to buy all the land between us and Canyon Ridge.” I joke.
“Do you know how much land that is?” She asks.
“I’d guess it’s somewhere around 600 acres or one square mile. The reason it takes us to long to run to the canyon is the rocky terrain and the mountainous territory.”
She whistles low. “That’s going to cost a lot of money.”
“Maybe. The land isn’t good as the only place for a pack to settle, but as an add–on, it could work and would give us safety by bumping our borders up against Liam’s and Rik’s. The council may be willing to give us a deal because no other pack would want that land on its own.”
