Semua Bab Toying Alpha: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Jamie did not manage to make it down to dinner beyond grabbing a bread roll and a banana, but the quick and easy lie of her ribs bothering her and going to sleep it off kept everyone at bay, even Valerie. It seemed no one was the wiser to her snooping, not even Andy. A blessing, truly, but a curse to her dreams since she couldn't go in guns blazing and hold the man up by the collar of his shirt and shake him till he confessed. She might've been just a bit murderous. Little Daniella didn't know why Jamie gave her candy, but the girl very happily accepted it. You paid back the little pups who helped you, even if they didn't know it. Jamie learned that from a young age, especially with their pack's beta Gabriel giving her sweets then releasing her onto the more misbehaving children in the sparring rings. The amount of people she knowingly or unknowingly sold out in her childhood was rather high, but she learned from it. Children knew things and could get away with things too. Even

All in all, four weeks to heal a broken collarbone was not bad. Shifters always did heal a bit faster than regular humans. While she was still a bit tender, and too many hits could re-break it, Jamie was feeling rather good. She had to get the bone rechecked by Andy and had to bite her tongue so she didn't bite his prodding fingers off instead, but she'd been cleared to remove her sling and was allowed to partake in light exercise. Valerie had even believed her when she said that she no longer needed the pills to deal with the pain–not like she was using them in the first place but still. It was nice to no longer have to carry on that ruse. Gathering dirt on Andy had been less successful than her healing bones though. The man was smart, or at least had a lot of practice on avoiding detection, discovery, and skirting the Territory Laws. Naturally, medics had an allowance for crossing the borders to get to patients. However, Andy seemed to take advantage of this for even when he wa

3:00 AM was a terrible time no matter the day, and Jamie wanted nothing more than to stay in bed, but of course she had to go all secret agent on the matter with Andy. Of course, she had to sneak into Logan's office in the dead of night.She couldn't be a normal person and break in at lunch time, no, she had to be 'dramatic'.In all truth though, night was the only time she could sneak in and sneak out relatively easily without being caught or put under suspicion. Her sleep would suffer, but it could take a hit or two for her peace of mind. Sneaking into the main house was…easy. Almost painfully so. If it was a regularly sized pack there'd be more patrols, more guards, someone on the night shift. Instead, there was a closed connection CCTV camera set up around the borders and a mix of locks and deadbolts to most of the thick wooden doors. You'd have to put some force into it to break them down, but by then everyone in the pack would've heard you. It was a good thing Jamie wasn't b

There was a loud thump from the other end of the phone, and Jamie could hear her mother asking what happened before there was another thump, her dad letting out a woosh of air and Jamie couldn't help but laugh, not knowing what else to do. Her mother just tackled her father to get closer to the phone. "Jamie?! Oh Jamie, sweetheart, we've been so worried!" "Hi Mama," she choked out, closing her eyes and trying not to cry."Are you okay? Have they been treating you well? Do I need to start something?" demanded her father and a sob left her throat because her dad was willing to start a fight with another pack for her. "No–no, daddy, I'm alright. The Northeastern pack's been good to me. I miss home though. I miss the path I'd take a morning run on. I miss sparring with the pack, messing around with Sarah, I miss you…why didn't you tell me I was going? I could've understood." "If we told you, we wouldn't have been able to let you go." Jamie could tell her mother was crying, her voice w

"So, what did you want to be when you grew up?" asked Jamie curiously. She was sitting in Logan's office on the floor, sorting through one of the last piles of paperwork. Two weeks of work and here they were. It was almost decent. It was up to Logan to sort through the coats though and how the closet was bulging, and some sort of carnival stuffed snake was sticking halfway out, she didn't think that was going to happen. "Huh? Oh, well…did you know what you wanted to be?" "The alpha." Logan made a small noise, giving her a look, and Jamie laughed. "No, but in all seriousness, it was more like being the alpha was a means to an end to get to where I really wanted to be. I'm sure you've heard people call me wild." "Don't forget feral," he grinned roguishly, making her roll her eyes. "That too, but I know what I'm about. I don't like being controlled. Alphas are the last people you'd even think about trying to control, and when someone takes over for you? You're just an elder and do
