First, I can’t provide for Grace, now she’s providing for the pack because I can’t. I have to be the most incompetent Alpha on the planet. Thankfully, she has faith in me, but it means that I need to speak to Rik and Liam sooner rather than later. Now that the Alpha challenge is done, I will call and set up a time to meet with them. I go to the dining hall and meet with the new individuals that want to be put into the patrol rotation. I pulled one of the patrol leaders into the meetings so he could discuss the current structure of the patrols. I realize I need to run patrols with the team so I can see how it flows and where our weaknesses are in the borders. I would have already done it but mating with Grace took precedence and being newly mated, it’s hard being away from her for long periods of time. We’re nearly done when I hear a howl go up. The patrol leader lifts his head, listening. “There’s someone at the border, Alpha. Would you like to go see who it is?” “Yes, let’s go.” W
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 32: Grace
I’ve just gotten Amber into her room when I hear the howl go up. I can tell there’s been a breach in the borders. Amber immediately starts crying, holding and rocking her baby in her arms. “Shhh, you’ll be safe here.” I tell her. “But I need to go fight.” As soon as the words are out of my mouth, I feel pain slice through my shoulder. Eli has been hit. A feral snarl leaves my mouth and Maia takes over, pushing the shift, and rushing out the door past Carlos and another pack member I assume is the doctor. I race out the back doors of the packhouse, sniffing the air to find out where they are. I can smell them, the hunters, 38 of them. Their scent is filled with hate and fear. I can hear the bullets and what sounds like arrows whistling through the air. I feel another shock of pain, this time in my thigh and I know Eli has been hit again. When I get there, pack members are strewn all over the ground. Eli and what is left of the warriors are outnumbered. They are fighting hard, but it

I come awake slowly, my body aching and the sounds of chaos all around me. When I open my eyes, I’m not thrilled to see Liam on his knees in front of my mate. I can’t see what he’s doing, but I can see that she’s only in a t-shirt that’s barely covering anything. I feel better the moment Grace is in my arms, even if she is crying. I look up and see Liam. He’s making a point of showing me the arrow he just pulled out of Grace’s leg. “What are you doing here?” I ask, giving my mate a moment to collect herself as I rub her back. “Maia sent up a howl for help. Angel and I heard it, and I am here answering that call. My warriors are outside helping yours patrol until we can get a handle on things and Rik should be here any minute.” He says just as another howl goes up, letting us know someone is at the borders. Liam turns his head to listen. “I’m guessing that’s him now, but I’ll go make sure.” As he turns to go, I stop him. “Liam, thank you.” “We’re all family now. We need to get Gra
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 34: Grace
When I wake the next morning, I leave Eli sleeping in bed and I head downstairs to check on the injured and find out how many awoke overnight. No one came looking for me, so I’m hopeful that everyone is either still resting quietly or has awakened. When I get to the kitchen, I see several omegas that volunteered to stay with the injured overnight. I find out that all but five of the injured are awake. Many ate some soup when they woke and are now getting ready to come down to join the pack in the dining room for breakfast. I’m about to go check on the ones that haven’t woken yet when Noah and Dr. Phillips walk in, both looking sleepy but happy with fresh mate marks on their necks. I smile at them. “Good morning. It looks like you both had a good night last night.” I say, smiling at them. Being newly mated myself, I understand the feeling perfectly. I reach my hand out to Dr. Phillips as she blushes softly. “I’m Grace and you must be Dr. Phillips.” She shakes my hand. “Please, call m

“What are your plans for today, Grace?” I ask as we finish our food. “I want to get the computer set up for the kitchens and packhouse.” She stops, turning to me. “Did you get them out of the car yesterday, or were you interrupted.” “They must still be in the car.” I look up at Noah. “You didn’t get them out, did you?” “No, Alpha. After everything happened, it completely slipped my mind. And once I found Sirona,” he pulls his mate closer to him, kissing her. “Well, after that, my mind was focused on other things.” Sirona is a blusher. I can tell Noah will enjoy making his mate blush as frequently as possible. From the corner of my eye, I see Carlos flinch at their show of affection. Time for me to find out what’s going on. “Carlos, how about you and I go get the computers. Hopefully there wasn’t any food left in the car.” I say. “No, the omegas were helping us unload.” Grace says. I extend my hand to Grace, helping her to stand, taking any opportunity I can to touch her. I kiss
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 36: Grace
I’m glad Eli talked to Carlos. It was obvious that Amber was miserable, and it was because her mate wouldn’t speak to her. I don’t know how things will go, but at least there will be a conversation. As I walk back into the kitchen, I clap my hands. “Okay, who knows how to use a computer.” Only one hand goes up, Autumn. I point to her. “You’re hired!” As I set up the computer, I talk to her about her past experience with a computer. It’s not that I can’t or won’t run the scheduling of the kitchens and pack house staff, but it’s time consuming. It’s usually two jobs and I need time to work on other things, so I’m glad that Autumn has at least some experience. Not surprisingly, her experience is with the packhouse management, since her sister was a Lead Omega in their previous pack. I get the computer set up and put together a template of the scheduling roster I want her to use. I set her up to work with her sister so that they have a rotation of individuals working every day and ensu

The rest of the day goes by, and I’m exhausted by the time I head back to our room. Carlos found the carpenter and asked him to build a crib. Apparently, the carpenter was so excited he said he’d build him a bassinet as well. I was happy to see him being more affectionate with Amber at dinner and watched as Grace introduced her to Victoria, getting her set up to see the gardens while we are away. When I get to our room, I see that Grace has packed a bag. I begin looking for my backpack before spotting it on the bed, looking like it’s already packed. “Did you pack my bag as well?” I ask her. “I did, I hope that’s okay. You looked tired at dinner, and I wanted you to be able to come up and relax. You’re still recovering from yesterday. Why don’t you go take a shower while I finish up.” She says, pulling some clothes out of the closet. I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her. “Why don’t you join me in the shower and then we can curl up and go to sleep.” I tell her. “Why Alpha
The Banished Beta's Saving Grace Chapter 38: Grace
The memories that come when I see the place where Clint and Donovan died is nothing compared to the flood of memories that start when I see Angel and Alessia. But the dam breaks when I see Cara and Artemis. I don’t know what it is about her, maybe because Artemis is the daughter of my Guardian spirit, but everything comes flooding back. It’s overwhelming and while I was embarrassed to have Eli carrying me, I’m not sure I could have walked on my own. When we reach the pack lands, the difference in this pack and my pack with Eli is apparent. But, I can also see the difference in this pack and my father’s pack. Where my father needed to be the most intimidating wolf in the pack, Rik seems to lead with love and patience. Pack members of all ages run up to him, surrounding us and walking with us back to the packhouse. There is no fear or intimidation as they ask him and Cara questions and are asked questions in return. Both Cara and Rik seem to know every pack member by name and know their
