The breakfast was served later the day after the full moon . Everyone heeded a sleep - in , and I didn't object . The conversation around the table when we did sit down to eat was focused on ine and my sh . Everyone wanted to know how it felt and tell me i had looked fierce . It was a little embarrassing, but I did my best to listen to them . When we were done , Finlay asked me if I was ready for our talk . I didn't see the point of postponing it ; I had decided the night before . " Let's head for my office in my house . It will give us some privacy , " said , casting a meaningful look at the rest of the people around the table . They all looked like they had no idea what he was alking about . Finlay's house was next to the pack house . It was a good size two - story house with dark shingles and stone corners . 1 had a small porch looking out over the driveway of the pack house . He showed me inside and 1 tried not to be too obvious about rying to look at everything . The inside was cosy , but it didn't have any of the mementos I was expecting . I was reminded of my mother making jokes about how my father's apartment had been . practically barren before he met her . I followed Finlay into an officet looked much more personal than the living room had . I guessed he spent more time in his office than the rest of the house , had bookshelves on two of the walls , a desk in front of windows showing his garden and the stream beyond it . There was able with six chairs around it and a whiteboard on the wall . In the corner , two armchairs stood , Finlay gestured to them and I took seat in one of them . It was amazingly comfortable , and I sank into it . " So ? " he said as he had sat down in the other . " You want my decision ? " I asked , teasing him . He smiled . " I do . " 1 nodded and turned serious . I will happily accept your offer , " I told him . His smile turned up and grew brighter . " I know you would . I'm happy that you did . " " But I need to be of use to the pack . I'm used to working and I don't do well at not having things to do , " I added . He nodded . " Everyone contributes to the pack , " he told me . " If it's by having a job outside the pack or helping with joint chores , it's all appreciated . " I nodded . " I think I have another task in mind for you , if you think you are up to it . " " That piqued my curiosity , " I said . He chuckled .. * I would like you to join the pack's leadership and work with us to improve the pac " But there are no openings , " I pointed out . " You have your Beta and Camma . " pack . " I was stunned . " I do , and I'm not about to replace them . But I have a feeling you have had a lot more training in taking on such roles than the rest of us . To tell you the truth , in our old pack , those that weren't groomed to take on a role in the top rank , weren't allowed to take part in any of those activities . We have been winging it so far with the help of relying on what feels right and my aunt's advice . I'm going to offer you the role as pack advisor . What do you think ? " What did I think ? It was true I had spent a lot of time with my father and my uncles while they did their work . And I had listened to my brother and James when they had talked about their training . My Uncle Jonas and my father had given me tasks , as I enjoyed figuring out schedules and putting plans together . 1/2 Game of Destiny Chapter 14-2 " I can give it a try . We can see if my knowledge can help you and the pack , " I told him . Ite nodded . " And I will need someone to drive me back to town so I can give my notice and pack my things . " He frowned but nodded , " We can head back today . I'll help you pack and if you don't have room in your car , suggested . we can put the rest of your things in mine , " he " I appreciate it . My holiday is over tomorrow and I can't just leave . Ce and Mrs Jones deserve more than that . I need to hand in my resignation and work until Mrs Jones finds a replacement , " I told him . I could see he didn't like it. He thought about it for a while . " Okay , I can understand you have obligations you can't just abandon You are loyal , it's a good quality . I'll get you back there today and then you will give me a call when you have talked to your boss and we will arrange when you can come back home . " " I can make the drive back here on my own . I don't own that much and my car is more than capable of holding it all , " I said . He shook his head . " You will call me and I will send someone , " he insisted . " Yes , Alpha , " I said . Finlay looked at me as I used his title as my Alpha for the first time . Then a grin appeared on his face and he nodded . Good . That takes us to your bloodening . Do you want to wait for the next full moon ? " he asked . The bloodening was the ceremony you went through to become part of a pack you hadn't been born into . " Could we do it sooner ? My wolf feels restless without a pack , and I guessing it will get worse when I go back to town . I don't want to extend her suffering any more than necessary . " I told him honestly . " We can do it as soon as you come back . Do you think that will be enough ? We can do it before you leave as well , " he offered . " I think it would be worse to make her part of the pack and then make her leave . But as soon as I'm back sounds good . " " Let me know if it gets out of hand when you are away . Even before the ceremony , I am your Alpha , I want you to know that you can always rely on me . " " Thank you , I will . " " Good . Now , on to the next topic . Living arrangements . Are you looking to build a house ? There is plenty of room in the village , " he told me . I hadn't thought about that . And it wasn't a decision I wanted to make on a whim . " I'm happy to take a room in the pack house for now , " I said . He nodded . " Do you like the room you're in ? " he asked . " It's an amazing room , " I said. " Then we decide it will be yours , " he decided . " Thank you , Alpha . " " think that is all for now . If you don't have any questions ? " No , no questions at the moment . " 1/2 Chapter 142 " Good . Li may pop up , call me or send me a text . How about we head over to the pack house and tell everyone you are staying ? Then we should get on the road , " he told me . It stands good . We walked back to the pack house . Martin , Sam , Medow and Matilda were walling for us in the entrance hall . " So ? " Medow asked . "So what ? " Finlay teased . The three younger wolves groaned , but Mililda smilled . " I'm staying , " I confessed . There was a loud cheering , and 1 found reyself in the middle of a group hug . * 1 knew you would . This will be so amazing . " Medow told me .

Finlay laughed . " I did , and she accepted the position as advisor , " he told the group . Both Martin and Sam looked pleased . " What are we waiting for ? We'll loot the freezer and have an lee cream party to celebrate , " Sam suggested . I smiled at him . " I need to head back to town for a while , 1 need to get my affairs in order and pack my things , " I explained . " Til give her a ride there and come right back , " Finlay explained . " We are sending her out there all alone ? " Martin asked . " Hey , you make it sound like you are sending me intran enemy cam . It's a sleepy small town where I have lived for four years and where I have friends . It will be alright , " I promised . " But what about your wolf ? She needs to run , " Medow pointed out . " I'm sure Amie will be back long before the need gets urgent , " Matilda told everyone . " Goddess , yes , " I agreed . " I'll make sure the pack knows , " Martin offered . " And if I know my mate and your aunt , they will plan some kind of homecoming party already , " Sam said , kissing Medow on her chock . " I'm looking forward to it , " I told them , and found that it was the truth . " I'll just run up to the room and grab the keys to my apartment , " I told Finlay . He nodded Before I know , we were heading back to the town I had spent four years trying to build a life in . It was odd that I felt like the pack land was more home after three days , than the town ever had . " Are you going to be alright ? Finlay asked me as we got closer . We had spent most of the drive in a comfortable silence . " I know we , myself included , get over enthusiastic when we think of you joining the pack . We forget you have a life outside the pack and you need to say goodbye to it . " " It's okay . I have made some amazing friends . But it can't compare to being in a pack . I hadn't realised it until thinking of going back . But it feels like these four years have been a standby period in my life . It has been okay , but I was waiting for something else . " " You were waiting for us , " he said , as if it was the most natural thing in the world . Maybe it was . As the town came into view , it looked different . Smaller and lonelier . Finley drove me almost to the point his truck scraped the stairs to my apartment . " Thank you for the ride , " I told him . " You're not even going to invite me in for coffee ? " he joked . I laughed and punched his arm . " You need to get back to the pack . I have taken up too much time already . " " Fine . But you better keep in touch , Red , We'll be back to make sure you get home safe ," he said . The new nickname surprised me , but I didn't hate it . Yes , Alpha . And it goes both ways . Let me know you get home safe 1/2 Chapter 14-3 Scared I'll get hurt ? " he asked . " More like I have standards . I need to know If someone else is taking over the pack and if I can stand them as my Alpha . " " Ouch , 1 feel a little hurt . " " You'll survive . Drive safe , Finlay . And thank you for insisting that ome and visit , " I said and opened my door . " Best four dinners and breakfast I ever spent money on , Red , " he to me before driving away . Watching him leave made me feel strangely empty . Then I shrugged it off and headed into my apartment to list things I needed to do before I could leave .
