Nathan sat glued to his wheelchair with his hands clenched at his side while Jasper paced up and down the short corridor of the emergency wing of the pack infirmary. “What’s taking so long?” Jasper grumbled. “Okay, that’s enough, sit down!” I stood up, growing frustrated by his nervous pacing. “You’re stressing us all out by doing that, it’s not going to make them work any faster.” I scolded with a frown knitted between my brows. “Would you be sitting down if it were Ben in there?” he shot back and for a moment I was shocked, Jasper had been cold in the past, but the careless manner in which he spoke was new to me. “Sophia’s right. Your pacing is making me antsier.” Nathan mumbled, never taking his eyes off the swing doors they wheeled her through almost an hour ago. Jasper sighed, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say all that to you.” He grimaced and collapsed into the chair beside the one I was sitting in. Seeing the stress lines appearing on his forehead, I took a seat beside him
Jasper and I walked stiffly to the front of the arena as pack members parted like the red sea to allow us through, some smiles and others nods of respect. This reception was a far cry from the attitude we received when we walked amongst them for days.Coming to a stand beside the podium on which Nathan and Halle stood, we listened to Nathan address them.“In light of the recent attack on my family, Halle and I have decided to step down as the Alpha and Luna of the High Tide Pack.”A collective gasp rang through the pack, his news was a shock to most and many eyes strayed towards us.“The title will be passed down to my brother and his mate, the rightful Alpha and Luna of the
Jasper stood stiffly beside me as Nathan wheeled towards Daniel with the Alpha scroll in hand. Unrolling the scroll, Daniel looked at us pointedly, “Repeat after me and insert your name where applicable.” He cleared his throat, “I insert your name.” “I, Jasper Atwater,” “I, Sophia Hastings,” we chorused. “Accept the position and title of Alpha or Luna of the High Tide pack with the utmost honour and respect for my land and my pack members.” He completed the sacred oath and we repeated it after him. “I promise to uphold the values of the High Tide pack, to honour the sacred oath and always put the needs of my pack above all,” Jasper added. “I promise to support and protect my Alpha and pack and always put the needs of the High Tide pack first,” I added, saying my prepared piece as we planned. “As per the tradition of the High Tide pack, the hands of the Alpha and his successor shall be cut to solidify the transfer of the Alphaship.” Beta Daniel unfolded the red velvet mat
Daniel stared at Jasper and I with a look of surprise, confusion and anger when Jasper delivered the news. “What do you mean I’ll be stepping down as the pack trainer? It’s been the Beta’s responsibility for generations.” He frowned deeply. Ignoring his question, Jasper continued his explanation, “Jason will take over the everyday training of the pack under the title of head trainer. While you oversee his training programs, you will not be physically there for every training. As the Beta, your job is more than to train the pack, you have to see to all the security of the pack which includes the border patrol.”The frown never left Daniel’s face but he nodded in understanding, “So I’m not being removed as Beta?” He questioned confusedly. Jasper’s face morphed into one of disbelief and I had to hold back my laughter so it didn’t burst and ruin the serious mood in the office. To Daniel’s left, Jason sat with an amused smirk on his face. “No, where did you get that idea from? We are s
Yet another day passed with me stepping off the training grounds with my shoulders sagged under the weight of worry. Jasper had put forward the changes to the pack training and to make the process of training the females easier, he put me in charge of getting them started, but after three days of standing alone before a blue training mat, I was disheartened.We had decided not to enforce it as a rule at first, hoping that more females would be interested in training, but clearly, that wasn’t a successful approach.‘Oliver and Yasmin are here.’ Jasper informed me and I sighed before changing my direction towards the pack house where I knew they’d be in the Alpha office.I knocked to anno
“Knock, knock.” I pushed open the door to the Alpha office and peeked my head in.“Hey, love. Are you headed to training?” Jasper smiled at me, but I could see the strain on his face as he tried to appear happy which made me frown.Entering the office I shut the door securely behind me, “Are you okay?”Jasper sighed, running his hand through his hair and flopped into the backrest of his executive chair, “I’ve been going through the evidence that Carter handed to me. I can’t believe that Nathan would do something like this.” Jasper’s jaw clenched angrily.“What did you find?” I pursed my lips, picking up the file he
“That was excellent girls, let’s wrap it up for today. We’ll have a session to reflect on this month’s progress next Monday. I have a meeting with the Alpha and I’m already late.” I rushed to grab my bag to stuff all my belongings inside.“It’s okay, Luna, he’ll forgive you and if he doesn’t, well, you can always make him.” Blu winked and all the girls giggled mischievously. We had grown close over the past month and they’d become more like little sisters than pack members.“I’ll have to remember that.” I teased and dashed out of the gym, calling a goodbye to them before I disappeared.A few new girls had joined training within the month which brought our numbers up to
I was seated in the waiting area with Alpha Oliver and Luna Yasmin at my side when Nathan came furiously wheeling into the hospital with Halle in tow.“Where is he, is he okay?” Nathan panted when he was close enough to be heard.“He’s in surgery.” I supplied, surprising myself.“What happened?” Nathan demanded and my eyes turned to him, glaring lasers at his skull.“Nathan, I think we should talk outside.” Alpha Oliver stood up with stern eyes and with a single look in my direction, Nathan conceded.“Are you okay?” Halle took the vacant seat beside me, placing h
