Chapter 19 (Jordan)

I let Jace walk Dr. Braxton and Kyra over to the pack hospital to make sure that the space that Elijah has found for them is sufficient. Then, I walk back inside, getting everything ready for our meeting today and pulling Jaxon aside. “Are you sure you’re okay being my interim Alpha?” I ask him. “You know you insult me when you ask things like that, right?” he asks in return.

I smile and look at his very pregnant mate. “How’s Evangeline?”

“Very pregnant. Very ready to have Jaxon Jr.”

“What did the doctor say?” I ask.

“He wants to see her every day until she delivers, but now, I’m worried. What if those in quarantine in the hospital have contaminated the space there?” he asks.

“The quarantine is a precaution. Even if they did catch some sort of virus, Evangeline and the rest of us here should be able to negate the effects, but we’ll know more when Dr. Braxton begins his tests.”

He nods, watching as Evangeline talks to her siblings. “Do you know what they are going to do?” I ask, nodding at Magdalena and Lazio.

“Maggie and Caleb are going to Alejandro’s pack. Lazio and Phoebe are going to Maximus’ pack. At least for now. Which reminds me, have you spoken to our sisters? I believe they all want to stay here.”

“That’s fine. Their rooms are still open. They are welcome here as long as they like,” I tell him.

“Good, because as your future interim Alpha, I already told them they could stay here,” he says, smirking at me.

I snort as Jace returns with Dr. Braxton, Kyra and Elijah in tow. I make sure they’ve eaten breakfast and we all begin to make our way into the conference room. I’m somewhat surprised when Taylor shows up with Griffin.

She walks right up to me. “Is he here?”

“No, he left. He went to get his car and told me to give you his number. He said he’d stay within an hour radius of my pack in case you wanted to meet face to face.”

I pull my phone out of my back pocket and quickly send Nolan’s contact information to her.

“Thanks,” she says before heading inside. Since the entire situation seems like a massive cluster f*uck, I don’t say anything more to her. I go inside and sit. Today, rather than having Elijah and Jace standing and acting as sentinels, I have them both sitting at the table.
