“I know.”
She nods. “Okay. It might take a while to set up a bigger suite for your pack, but in the meantime, I trust Robin’s suite will suffice?”
My face warms while Falcon nods.
It’s silly. She already knows we’ve claimed each other as mates, yet I can’t help but feel awkward that someone other than my mates know I’m sharing a bed with two Alphas.
“Then, you should invite the rest of your pack, and we’ll let you know when we have a suite for you to move into. Owen and Pete can train you on security ops and we’ll figure out who fits in where once you’ve had some training.”
“Great,” Falcon responds. “Shayne, go call Jay and Harper.”
“My cell phone …” Shayne starts.
“Use Erika’s phone,” Lana says. “She’s the receptionist. She should be on duty any minute now.”
“Thanks,” Shayne says, as he turns and Owen opens the door for him.
I watch Shayne leave, and Owen closes the door again.
Lana’s looking at me when I turn back around to face her.
“Robin, did you want to learn what I do here?”
I blink at her. “Um, what?”
“We’d like for your pack to be able to cover the academy fully, eventually,” she admits, stunning me. “That means security cover, but it also means covering my role.”
Oh my God.I can feel all the color draining from my face.
“Uh … Um … I don’t …” I shake my head as my throat tightens.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to,” Lana assures me. “I just had to ask.”
“I like the job I have,” I admit, after my swell of panic calms.
“Okay,” Lana says, nodding. “I’m sure one of your other mates will be capable of taking over in my absence. I’ll just need to figure out which one.”
“Shayne’s good with people,” Falcon offers. “And he doesn’t hate administrative work.”
“Perfect,” Lana says, nodding. “I’ll have him follow me today.”
“Can I go to work?” I ask. “I’m already late, probably.”
“There’s no need to worry about that,” Lana tells me.
“I’ll walk you to the kitchen,” Falcon offers.
He starts to get up, and I do the same.
“Thanks,” I murmur.
Chapter Ninety-Seven
Falcon
Robin breathes easier outside of Lana’s office, and that takes a little of the tension out of my body. I could tell she was getting anxious in there. Lana’s offer made her panic.
I know it’s not the kind of work she’s used to, and it doesn’t seem like her kind of thing anyway, but her reaction was telling. She was afraid to say no.
