I sat on the chair opposite to Jax and I was looking at him really suspiciously. “You look pretty young to be a guidance officer.” I said. “Yeah. Fresh out of college. Sorry about that.” “Alright. So, what do you need to talk to me about?” I asked. “Well, I hear that you were homeschooled for your whole life and you lived in a cabin alone with your mother. Until your father brought you here to the city.” He said. “That’s right. But everyone knows that. I’m pretty sure it was front page news when I first got here.” I said. “I’m sure that it was. But that doesn’t have anything to do with it. I’m here to make sure that you are fitting in alright and to see if you need anything. Your file says that you had a bit of trouble when you first started here.” He said. “I guess. It worked itself out.” “Yeah. By beating the hell out of the bullies. That must have made you feel pretty good.” He said. “I won’t lie, it didn’t suck.” I shrugged. “I bet it didn’t. How have you found the trans
When I finally got out of that office, Wesley had a lot of questions for me and I told him the basics about the guidance officer. Wesley said that people must be worried about me, but I didn’t believe that. As soon as school finished that day Miles picked me up and took me straight to my dad’s office and it was a skyrise building in his part of the city. So I went inside and my ID and everything was already waiting for me at the front desk and I took the elevator up to the 18th floor and I stopped at another foyer. Dad came out of his office and told the receptionist who I was and she bared her neck to me in respect. Dad then took me to his office and I saw that he had a second desk set up in there for me to sit at. “You really didn’t have to go through all of this trouble.” I said. “It’s no trouble at all. I’m excited to have you working here.” He said. “I can see that. What exactly am I meant to do up here? I asked. “Well, I think the first thing you should do is fa
I heard someone coming towards the office so I put the file back and I took the stapler over to my desk and I stapled the file back together. What I intended to do initially. And that’s when the door opened and Wesley was standing there. “Hi.” I said, surprised. “Hi. You know, I’m surprised that they let me up here.” He said. “I told them to. I knew you’d show up eventually.” I said as he walked inside. “Wow. I’ve never been in this office.” He said, spinning around, looking at the office. And the sunset over the city from the window. “Yeah. I don’t think many people have been in this office.” I said. “Where’s your dad?” He asked. “He had to go and meet someone. I don’t know how long he’s going to be.” “So, I guess you don’t know how long you’re going to be here?” He asked, sitting on the edge of my desk. “No. Afraid not.” I said. “What are you doing?” He asked, picking up a file and looking at it. “Familiarizing myself with the pack. Putting everyone’s information
“Alpha Elias.” Dad said, standing up. “Hello Alpha John. Aren’t you going to introduce us?” Alpha Elias asked, still staring at me. “Ava, this is Alpha Elias of the Winter Storm pack. They are located about three hours away from here. Alpha Elias, this is my daughter Ava.” Dad introduced us. So Alpha Elias walked over to me and he extended his hand straight out so he could shake it. I slowly reached out and took his hand, and he clasped it really tight and placed his other hand over the top. “It is so nice to finally meet you.” Alpha Elias said, staring into my eyes. “I wish I could say the same.” I said. “Ava.” Dad warned. “Do you think you could let go of my hand before you cut off the circulation?” I asked. “Ava.” Dad warned again. Alpha Elias narrowed his eyes on me, not looking at dad once, and then started laughing. “Well, you are everything that your father said that you are.” He said. “Great. That doesn’t explain why you still have my hand in a vice grip.”
That night dad had made sure that everything was perfect in the house for Alpha Elias to come to dinner. He even told them to bring out the really expensive china and silverware. I hadn’t even seen this stuff before, and they didn’t look like they had been used very often. He even had one of the omega’s lay a dress out on my bed that he wanted me to wear that night, but I took one look at it and put it back in my closet. I wasn’t wearing that thing if my life depended on it. I had a shower before dinner and then I got dressed into black bra, a black long sleeved sheer top that showed off my midriff and tied up around my stomach, a black leather skirt and black knee high boots. Very different to the baby blue and white dress that he wanted me to wear. I wasn’t going to allow anyone to start telling me how to dress and how to act in front of other people. I don’t care if dad did hold this Alpha in high esteem. I am one person that this Alpha is going to have to get used to if he
As I was walking towards my room I heard Sandra talking in her room that she shares with dad, but I knew that she couldn’t be talking to dad because he was still downstairs. The door was open just a crack and I stood next to the door and saw Sandra pacing back and forth while she was on the phone. She sounded like she was crying. “What the hell was Elias doing here mom? He just showed up unannounced and invited himself into my home…I don’t care…you know what he did the last time I saw him…I can’t have him here ruining what I have now…I don’t care if John is a marriage of convenience for me and Elias can’t ruin that…he tried to force me to mate him…I don’t ever want to see that bastard again…you could have at least told me that he was here…I know that he got me mixed up with Isabella last time but do you remember how close he came to getting me instead of her?...I don’t care mom, keep him the fuck away from me.” Sandra hung up the phone and threw it on the bed. I snuck back to my
NOAH POV Jax got back to the hotel after his first day at playing guidance officer at Ava’s school and he actually looked pretty damn tired. “How did it go?” I asked, as he grabbed a beer from the fridge. “You know, being a guidance officer means they send all of the troubled kids to me so I can talk to them. That wasn’t part of the deal.” Jax complained. “Yeah. I know. But it was the closest way we could get to Ava.” I said. “I know that. But it still sucked. I had to listen to kids’ problems all day and most of it was bullshit. One girl came in with a problem that her mother wouldn’t let her wear mini skirts to school.” Jax said. “Let me guess. Was that Stella?” I asked. “How did you know that?” Jax asked as he sat on the couch. “Because I’ve been doing my own research on the kids at that school. Stella seems to be the only pain in the ass that Ava has had. Her and her friends.” I said. “Yeah, well. She didn’t mention Ava but if that’s the girl that she beat up, I d
I stood there staring at Elias on the other side of the door, glaring at him. Trying to control the growl that was about to rise up in my chest. “Oh please. Don’t start this again. Your mother told me to come here and try to make peace with you.” Elias said. “Since when do you listen to anything mom has to say? You tossed her aside the second she gave you an heir.” I said. “Yeah. But you’re not exactly the heir that I would have wanted. You always took her side and now you’re saying that you don’t want to take over the pack.” Elias said. “What the hell are you doing here?” I asked. And he pushed past me and came into the hotel room. He saw Mason and Jax standing off to the side and he looked around at where we had been living. “Well that doesn’t surprise me. I don’t recall giving you two permission to leave the pack.” Elias said. “I gave them permission. As the future Alpha.” I said, still standing behind him and still holding the door open. “What are you doing here Noah
