Chapter 31: Eli

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.”
