Chapter 0268

“Olivia, all of this looks great. Is there anything you need from me?” I ask looking around. “Everything looks in order.”

“Luna, can I have a moment in private?”

“Of course.” I find a place for us to speak privately and Olivia tells me her concerns about the young children working in the kitchen and cleaning the packhouse. I ask her to give me a list and the hours, who their parents are, etc. She let’s me know that she will have it for me tomorrow.

When we’re done, I start to head to the bunker to see the status of the cleaning and stocking. On my way, I’m stopped by another pack member, and this sets up the rest of my afternoon. One after another, the pack members come up to me, asking to speak with me about issues that they are having or concerns within the pack.

I’m finishing another conversation when Liam finds me. “Angel, is everything okay?” He asks, looking at the she–wolf that I’m talking to.

“Yes, except, I need an office, or someplace where I can meet with pack members so I’m not trying to find a private place to talk all the time. Is that possible?”

We say goodbye to the pack member I was walking to and he guides me to the dining room, to a table with Sarah, Dustin and Jackson. I say hello to everyone as Liam goes to get food for us. I sit down, putting my head in my hands.

“Angel, what’s wrong?” Sarah asks me.

I blow some hair out of my face. “Everyone wants to talk to me and I don’t really have a good place to talk to them and I couldn’t even talk to everyone today that wanted to talk to me. I need to figure out how and where to meet with the pack members that want to talk to me. And now I need to follow up on the things that I talked about today and I’m not even sure where to begin to make sure t not missing anything or assisting someone that asked for my help.”

that I’m

Liam comes back, leaning down and kissing the top of my head. “I’ll help you baby, you don’t have to do this on your own.”

“But Liam, and please don’t take this the wrong way, some folks wanted to talk to me because it was about things they didn’t feel comfortable talking to you about. I just need to figure out how to make this work.”

“I can help.” Sarah says.

“What do you mean?” I ask her.

“Well,” she looks at Liam, “I was hired as a secretary for Liam. I know he hasn’t had a chance to get me set up here to work, but a secretary is a secretary. I can set up a schedule for you and make follow up appointments or I can follow up on things that you just need responses on. I’m good at it and it would give me something to do.”

She turns to look at Dustin. “Dustin, maybe Angel can use your office? Maybe you and Liam can work together in his office?”

“Actually,” Liam interrupts her, “there is a Luna office, but it needs to be cleaned out.”

“We can do that!” Sarah looks at me. “And I’ll find some kind of desk to set up outside your office to schedule your appointments.” She says excitedly.

From the corner of my eye, I see Dustin smiling at Liam. It’s the job of the Beta female to support the Luna, just as it is the job of the Beta male to support the Alpha. Sarah wanting to help me on her own, means she’s inadvertently taking her place as the Beta female and Dustin’s mate.

“Alpha, doesn’t the Luna’s office already have a space for an assistant?” Dustin says. I can tell he’s barely able to contain his excitement.

“It does. I think we can find some pack members to help you clean it up.” “Oh! Luna, how about we ask those girls, Amelia and Charlotte. They adore you and those women that helped us clean the bunker, Amy and Chloe. They were a lot of fun and I bet they would enjoy helping out. I can reach out first thing in the morning and get it set up and help them while you are meeting with the pack members.”

“Sarah, that sounds amazing. But you have to call me Angel. We’re friends and we’re about to be spending a lot of time together!”

I finish dinner feeling a hundred percent better than I did when I sat down. Maybe I can figure this Luna thing out.
