“No. I think he’s asleep right now. But he’s been behaving.”
“Like his daddy.”
“Like his daddy.” I giggled and pecked his nose before I turned my body to look at the documents on his table. “What are you doing?”
“Finalizing the draft for the treaty with Jacob.”
“Does it work? His pack is 13 hours away from here.”
“This is not just about backups in case of attacks or security issues. It includes businesses and support when raising concerns with the Council. As much as he’s a cocky bastard, Jacob is a good businessman and knows his way around the Council better than I do. He also has strong alliances with many packs, so even if I don’t renew all alliances with others, if I have him on my back, no one will touch us. Not that I’m scared of anything, but with you here and soon, our pup, I don’t want to be laid back anymore.”
“I see. Did you have additional news about my uncle? I know it was only a day, but I was wondering...”
“No leads yet, but Darvin has been trying to find his mate. Maybe she can give answers if your uncle has any enemies.”
I just nodded my head because I had no idea either. “Will you let me know if they find my aunt? I want to talk to her too.”
“Yes.” He answered curtly.
“Should I leave you alone so you can finish this?” I bit my bottom lip, not really wanting to be away from him right now.
“No. Stay here. I just need a little more time so I can have everything prepared before I send the information over to Jacob.” His words made me smile. I knew I should stay quiet, but I knew that if I did, I might forget this topic again.
“So about the Beta’s request. Did you agree to it?” I asked. Jenny would be visiting her mother in the Black Shadow Pack territory while Sebastian was away assisting with Gamma and Warrior Camp training. Dominic then requested if he could join Jenny so he could visit Janna.
“Yes.”
“Will you be okay without both Sebastian and Dominic, and Jenny too?”
“We’ll be fine. Dawson will be back from Atlanta by then. He’ll be my assistant for a while, and Sebastian’s second in command will be in charge of the security and the warriors.”
“Okay.”
“Don’t worry, this is not the first time I’ve been left without my Beta and Gamma. I can function well.”
“I know that.” I rested my back on his hard torso as he picked up the paper and started reading it. My eyes were trying to read, too, but so many things were running through my mind.
“About Dominic…”
“Hmmm…”
“He’s still after Janna?”
“I think so.”
“But you told me Janna was mated to Alpha Jacob’s Gamma. Didn’t you tell Dominic?”
“No.”
“Why? You need to tell him beforehand, or he’ll be crushed.”
“Can I tell you something?” He placed the documents back on his desk.
“Of course,” I answered as his arms wrapped around my waist.
“Dominic told me he’s confused right now. He likes someone else, but he knows he wants Janna too. So he wants to see if he still feels anything for her or not before he can move on.”
“But wouldn’t it be simpler if you just told him Janna was already mated?”
