The Genius Delta novel Chapter 4

“Are you excited to start your internship?” Isis asked, turning in her seat to look back at me.

“Does energy equal mass times the speed of light squared?” I scoffed.

Kurt and Isis shared a look and broke out into laughter. I don’t know what’s so funny. I made a science joke, but it wasn’t even that funny. Maybe they are just humoring me and want me to feel at ease as I enter my dream job and be around a thirty-story office full of people I don’t know.

“Thanks for laughing, but it wasn’t that funny.” I shook my head at their weirdness.

“We know, but Kurt’s best friend Jonathan uses that line too,” Isis explained.

“Oh. Well, at least that explains your laughter. Will I be meeting this infamous Jonathan? He’s supposed to be the Bloodmoon Delta, but while my arrival meet-and-greet is a jet-lagged blur, I don’t remember him.” I asked, leaning forward.

“Um, yeah. Jonathan wasn’t at the pack house last night. He works at Silvercloud, so you’ll meet him. He’s supposed to be your Bloodmoon liaison.” Kurt explained.

“My what?” I furrowed my brow. I missed a lot with my jet lag and Sara’s late-night run searching for our mate.

“Uncle John and Alpha Logan assigned you and Delilah a liaison. Sort of like a guide and bodyguard all in one. Scott Fowler will be Delilah’s liaison. It will be his job to show her around Bloodmoon and Portland and ensure she gets to her classes and anywhere else she needs to go. Jonathan will be yours.” Isis explained.

“I guess that makes sense. That Scott guy better not get any ideas about hitting on Delilah. She hasn’t gotten her wolf yet, and I’d hate to have to break his face for being a pig.” I punched my right fist into my left palm.

“Don’t worry, Scott won’t make a move on Delilah. No one will. Beyond the fact she’s underage, everyone in both packs knows you two are Alpha Alec’s sisters-in-law, and they do not want trouble with him worse with Logan.” Kurt chuckled.

“Okay, good.” I nodded my attention, leaving the conversation and turning to the gorgeous building we were pulling up in front of.

Silvercloud HQ, I’ve seen pictures, but it’s even more impressive in person. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. I don’t know if I’m nervous or excited. I guess it’s both. If I prove myself this summer, this could be my future. I could move to Bloodmoon and work here full-time. Sure I’d attend college but working for Silvercloud has been my dream since the company launched its first product.

“Good luck today. Remember, Jonathan will drive you home.” Kurt smiled as he pulled to the curb.

“Okay, but… how am I going to know who Jonathan is?” I asked, reminding them I’d never met the guy.

“Oh, right. Here, I’ll text you a pic of Jonathan from our wedding.” Isis smiled as she tapped on her phone.

My phone quickly pinged. I checked Isis’ text and cocked my head as I looked at a photo from their wedding. It was Kurt in a white suit with his happy grin with an arm across the shoulder of a guy in a gray suit a couple of inches taller than him with black hair braided and a short beard making him look a bit maturer with an equally bright smile. His eyes were dark brown with a swirl of amber, making them seem to take a life of their own.

“Are you done drooling?” Kurt teased.

“Just because I’m a world away from André doesn’t mean I need you to provide his commentary.” I rolled my eyes and flipped him off.

“Have a great time. We’ll find more time to hang out while you’re here.” Isis smiled.

“Thanks for the ride, guys. Now get back to your pack duties.” I waved at them as I climbed out of the car.

I took a deep breath and went inside. It wasn’t hard to find out where I needed to go. There was someone from HR already corralling a dozen interns into a meeting room. We went through our orientation’s doldrums, which included taking pictures and providing our security badges to get into the building from now on.

Everyone seemed as excited as I was to be here. Though only myself and one other girl, Mila, I think her name is, are under thirty. It’s crazy that the other ten interns are adults with college degrees taking an internship to get their toe in the Silvercloud door.

We were treated to coffee and donuts. American coffee is GROSS. I’m going to need to find real coffee if I’m going to survive this summer. After coffee and donuts were given our company tablets, the first thing that popped up after I logged in was a request from Jonny Weaver, my assigned mentor, to bring him a quad shot caffe macchiato. He hadn’t even officially met me and asked me to bring him coffee, not just any coffee but my favorite.
