Chapter 355

Chapter 0355

Eli looks past me at Amber. “Is there someone we should call, someone that may be looking for you so we can let them know you’re safe.”

She shakes her head. “No, thank you Alpha, but there is no one.”

I can feel Eli’s confusion through the bond. How does this woman have a brand new baby if there is no one.

“The baby is a hybrid.‘ Maia says.

‘A hybrid?‘ I ask. “You mean part wolf, part human?”

‘I don’t think so. Part wolf, yes. But, I’m not sure what the other part is.‘

“Amber, do you have everything you need for your baby? What is her name, by the way?”

“Oh, I haven’t named her yet. I….”

I can see tears welling in her eyes. “It’s okay.” I say reaching out placing my hand over hers. I can see Carlos’s hand twitching, wanting to hold her hand like I am. I sigh internally. I was hoping he would find someone, and it would be great. This seems like it might be a struggle. I just hope it’s one they can overcome.

“Do you want to come around with me today? I have some things that I need to finish taking care of and I could show you around at the same time.” I ask her. “That would be great. I want to work, I want to be useful, so anything that you need for me to do, I’d be happy to do.”

Eli puts his hand on my back, rubbing gently. “Well, we have a lot of work that needs to be done. There’s no shortage of that.” I say laughing.

“We’re glad to have you here, Amber. Grace is whipping everything into shape and I’m sure she can find something that will suit your needs. But please, take whatever time you need to rest and recover.”

“I’m good Alpha. I want to work.” She says.

“You’re injured? From the attack yesterday?” Sirona asks her.

“No, before. I was held captive by the hunters, but I escaped and found this place, thankfully.” She says with the briefest of smiles.

“Have you been checked, medically?” Sirona asks, going into doctor mode.

“Someone,” she looks at Carlos, “checked me yesterday.”

Carlos is watching her intently. “Dr. Phillips is a real doctor. You should let her check you over.” He tells her softly,

“Okay.” She agrees.

“Okay! Then after breakfast, I have my first assignment.” She turns to Noah. ” What will you be doing today, my love?” She asks him.

He looks at Eli questioningly.

“That reminds me.” Eli says standing up. “Attention everyone.” He says and the room goes quiet. “I have asked Noah to be our pack’s Gamma and he has agreed. When

we have our ranked member ceremonies, he will be included as the pack’s Gamma and his mate, Sirona Phillips, will be included as our Gamma female. She is a doctor from the Shadow Falls Pack and we are very happy to have her join our pack now.”

Cheers go up and people begin to come to the table congratulating Noah and Sirona. I watch as Amber quietly slips away. Carlos pretends not to notice, but I see him watching her out of the corner of my eye. When he turns back, he sees me watching him. I raise my eyebrow at him, but he just shakes his head.

“I have one more announcement. Our own Maddison Gray found her mate yesterday as well. Trevor is the Lead Warrior with the Canyon Ridge Pack, so while we are gaining a doctor, we are losing one of our best gardeners. Thankfully, we have a strong alliance with both packs, and we’ll continue to work together and see members from those packs.”

There’s a lot of congratulations and back slapping for Trevor, and some tears for Maddison, I’m guessing from her garden crew.

Eli raises his hands, and everyone quiets down again. “Yesterday we received a surprise attack from the hunters and while many were injured, I am happy to announce that no one was killed. Our neighbors answered your Luna’s call for help, reinforcing our alliance and bond with those packs. However, it did bring to light our pack’s need for more intense warrior training. I will be taking my mate to the Shadow Falls Pack over the weekend, but starting Monday, you will all be training with me and Carlos. We will set up training twice daily for all warriors. Every pack member who has a wolf will train at least once a day. Men and women will train together.” There is a cheer from the women in the room.

“Until then, you will train with Carlos. He is your Beta, and you will give him the respect he and his position deserve. Grace and I will be leaving tomorrow morning. If you have any questions or concerns, see me before I leave.”

He sits back down, kissing me on the side of my head before we both turn back to

our food and finish eating.
