Chapter 0272

I am amazed with Sarah. She is so organized and she has everything under control in less than 30 minutes in the morning. She has my soon–to–be office getting cleaned, she has Dustin’s office set up for me and she has an area outside his office set up with a calendar to schedule appointments. I tell her to order herself a computer and both of us phones. I know that was something else that Liam had on his plate and we’re going to wipe it off today. This woman is amazing!

All day I meet with pack members. Most are just happy to have someone that they can trust to talk to. But there are some that need assistance. I get the impression that the word is spreading that I’m available to meet with pack members, as my schedule for today is booked and based on what Sarah tells me at lunch, the rest. of the week is getting stacked up very quickly.

She and I decide that we will have working lunches every day. It’s a great way for us to connect, for me to let her know what needs to be followed up on and for her to let me know what my schedule looks like.

“Can I ask you something Angel?”

“You can always ask me anything Sarah.”

She wrings her hands for a moment. “Dustin explained to me what the mate bond means. Is it really that strong?” She asks.

“Yes. I don’t know how to explain it. Even if I was trying to explain it to a werewolf that hadn’t found their mate, I’m not sure I could. I didn’t truly understand it, until I felt it. Your mate is everything. Everything that you’ve been missing in life, everything that you want, everything that you have ever dreamed of, everything you didn’t know you needed.”

She nods, looking down at her hands again. “What about….what about having kids?”

I reach over and put my hand over hers. “Every person is different, but I can tell you, for some, having their mate is more important than anything else. And from what I’ve seen, Dustin wants you. He may want pups, but he’s willing to take the risk of not having them to have you, his fated mate.”

She sits thinking for another moment. “Will you go with me to see the doctor this week? I don’t want him to know, until I know what she says.”

I pull her in for a hug. “I will always be there, any time you need me.”

Olivia is my last appointment before warrior training. I had decided that I wanted her as my Lead Omega in the kitchen, but I also felt that the job was too big to have someone managing both the packhouse and the kitchens. So I’ve decided to create a new position. When I offer the Lead Omega position to Olivia, she begins to cry. She feels this is a great honor, but in truth, I’ve been utterly impressed with her ability to organize and get the kitchens in order in a very short amount of time. I’ve already heard the pack members talking about how great the food is and that they love the new variety.

She and I talk about the children working in both the kitchens and the packhouse and while the idea of “chores” for pups is welcome, having them working rather than being in school is not acceptable. I make a note to implement limits to the hours that pups of school age can work without prior approval from me or Liam. We also talk about the Lead Omega position for the packhouse. Olivia suggested Samantha, the woman that just took Amelia and Charlotte into her home. I make a note to tell Sarah that I need to meet with Samantha. Seriously, this whole having a secretary thing is the best!

As we walk out of the office, we run into Liam and Dustin. I was concerned that he might overrule me about Olivia. But I am pleasantly surprised that he trusts my judgement and lets me make the decision.

I’m also happy to hear that Sarah will start learning how to use weapons. It’s good for her to learn and feel capable of protecting herself.

When we the training grounds, I start working with Clint and Cara. We fall into a method of letting Clint guide us through the training. It’s his forte. He’s trained both Cara and I, so we let him set the standards.
