47 - BenIt would probably be better if I had more answers, but I don’t and the disembodied voice isn’t helping my case. If I were the type to make a bet I would say the witch was listening in and having fun with us. I am not one to make bets I am not guaranteed to win.I feel Elara stiffen next to me at the phantom’s explanation. I snake my arm around her waist, not dumb enough to try to shield or restrain her, or make her feel like I am restraining her, but the need to have her close with the unknown is overwhelming.Pulling her back to my chest gently, I call out, “Briana? My name is Ben. Alpha James asked me to meet with you. He said you might be able to help us with our drug problem.”Silence fills the thick air around us. I can feel Jax and Dev move in on either side. They are smart and can read a situation easily. We are all on high alert. No matter how many times I have been told that Briana is friendly, I’ll believe it when I see it. I won’t sit here and get ambushed like a ne

That is what I have been fighting against my whole life. Our pack is too small, there is no reason to have to force anyone to listen if you lead correctly. That is the training of my mother and she had the respect of the whole pack. My father lead with graciousness and understanding. I should be able to do the same. Clearly we missed some lessons on how to do that.I finish introducing Ben formally to the pack. Most of the members have met him and the rest of the Silver Crescent guys in their time here. They are good at mingling and making friends. It doesn't escape my notice that more than one female eye lingers on him for too long, and I can admit to myself that he is very handsome in his too strict, uptight way.
