Chapter 526
"No one got information they wanted but it's a start. You can chose to keep your chosen nor you can look into your past. Hell, you can do both. In this room, we are allies and all run our packs similar with sdifferences. If you wish to join one of our packs, you only have to walk up to them and ask. If you want to join a pack but still look into your past, you can do that. If you want to leave here and see where the world takes you, you can. However, I want you to understand there is a certain level of safety we provide. Not a single alpha in here will keep you from finding out your truth but please know, if you join a pack, you don't have any rights to being a ranking member. If you have any other questions, you are more than welcto sit down with us and ask them. We will always be available to you as you move forward with your life. You don't have to decide tonight but everyone but Alec and I will be leaving tomorrow. Everyone here is welcto stay here as long as you need to. I'm not going to be kicking you out but for safety reasons, I don't allow guest for an extended period of time. Obviously, your situation is a bit different so we can cross that bridge when it comes to it." A few of the girls seemed to take deep breaths and relax just a little. No one was crying anymore and a few of them looked like they accepted what it was.
After a few moments, the girl that looked to be the oldest stood up. "M-may we be excused to look over everything before the party tonight?" "Of course. You can find any of the staff and ask them to mind- linkif you need anything in the mean time, otherwise I should be in my office most of the day. See you all tonight." Quietly, all the girls stood up one by one. As if they didn't truly believethat they could go. At the end, only one girl was left and that was Lars's beta's mate.
"I guess we all know what I am going to ask..." She tried to give a light hearted laugh but it was almost filled with sadness. "We haven't marked each other. Are you sure this is what you want?" He looked at her a little confused.
"You just toldlast night that you didn't want to be part of a pack. I can't and I won't be leaving. This is my home. I'm happy to support you in finding out your past. We will use every resource available but I'mText © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
not leaving." "I heard you. Between how I felt spending the night away from you and since it appears there isn't much of my family left, I might as well start building my future. I still want to know what happened to my family but I can't spend my future stuck on my past." I was really surprised to hear that from her. Not that I didn't disagree but most would need to find their families. "I'm happy to allow you to join my pack. We can have a private ceremony when we get home." Lars nodded down at his beta and his mate.
"I don't think there is anything else that needs to be discussed. Everyone is free to do what they would like to." Alec went back to his laptop and started working away.
"I'll see you all at lunch." Aston waved before heading out.
"Yeah, I got swork to do also." Carson followed him out. Anthony didn't even say anything as he jetted out of the office.
"The girls asked for shelp doing something we we will be back.” Jace said as he slapped Lars on the chest.
"I forgot about that..." Lars sighed but followed Jace. His beta and mate followed them out as well.
In the end, Alec and I were the only ones left. Seeing as Alec was on my desk, I moved to Penny's to work. There was still so many emails that I needed to shift through. Smany signatures that still needed signed. At this point, I felt like I might not ever get caught up. "I figured it out." Alec yelled a little too excited.
"Figured what out?" I asked, only half paying attention.
"About the casino." That got my attention. Getting up, I moved over to Alec to see that he was talking about. "What does it say?" "The ownership was under the Midnight LLC but there is a board of trustees. All of these people are alive." Alec showedthe report he had finally able to get his hands on.
"Who are these men?" I didn't recognize any of their names.
"No idea. I think they are humans but we won't know until we have a board meeting. You will need to file for ownership transferal and then clean house if they are wolves. Assuming since Joe had a nice office, it wasn't the first the was there. Worst case, these are still his men." "This might be tricky. Penny will need to keep the title as long as this business in functional. The land could be changed easilylenough but this will get messy. She will need to decide once and for all what she wants to be." I was so happy to see Penny find her inner strength but she can't be a luna of one pack and an Alpha of another. "She has becpretty badass." Alec muttered, half listening to me.
"She really has accepted that part of her." Sitting down in an armchair, I wasn't sure how to approach this subject with her.
"I think she will handle it just find." Alec shrugged with little concern.
"Handle what?" The door opened and Kristen and Penny walked in with smiles on their faces.
