  As it turned out, it would be awkward as hell.Matt pretty much followed me around most of the day, staying ridiculously close to me. He was as close as he could possibly be without physically touching me and in all honesty, it was really starting to get to me. I didn't mind giving him the chance and spending the day with him, but I also needed him to get the hell out of my personal bubble.We were currently sat in my office while I was organising my filing cabinet. The most conversation we had managed to muster was idle small talk about the storm and such. Neither of us knew what to say, and though was fine with silence, Matt was not happy and felt the need to keep coming up with new things to say even though they lacked meaning.M

  The next morning I was rudely awoken to an earth-shattering thunderclap. It was so loud and sudden that I nearly fell out of bed in a panic. A flash of lightning lit up my room and almost blinded my still weary eyes. It again was quickly followed by a booming thunderclap, that this time forced me to get out of bed. I looked to my bedside clock, trying to make out the number past the sparkles still floating in my vision.8 a.mI had slept in. Not that it seemed to matter as I groggily made my way over to the window, peering out over the packhouse’s grounds through th

  “You really want to have him that close?” Leo asked incredulously. We were sat on the grass verge bank of the pond that was on the edge of our territory. Leo and I often came down here to unwind and talk away from prying ears. The calm water was beautiful and serene, with the reflection of the bright white mood dancing upon its surface. The forest around us was alive the hoots, scratches and scurries of the nocturnal life within it. I sighed as I dipped my bare feet into the pond, the cool water lapped gently at my ankles and immediately I felt relaxed. When I had been in the sanctuary, my only solace had been the pond in my enclosure. I had used it to bathe each night, the cold water washing away the hardships of the day and

  “I do wish to thank you for all your help, Soph,” Jake gave a warm smile as he sat across the desk from me. It had been a week or so since the incident and things had picked up a little. The pack no longer outwardly glared at me, although I did still occasionally hear doubtful whispers. Unfortunately, speaking with Grace hadn’t yielded anything of substance. She was adamant that she had tried to contact me and had gotten nothing in return. I still swear that there was a sparkle of amusement in her eyes as I questioned her, but again it was nothing I could prove. Grace’s story remained the same every time which had gained her trust within the pack. Leo and I had discussed what had happened, and although he was livid about the pack doubting me this way, he did a

  “Alpha.” I glanced up from my paperwork to see a sheepish looking Grey hovering in my office doorway, with the door still partially concealing him. I had been so engrossed in my struggle with mental maths that I hadn’t even heard the door open. “Come in,” I instructed, dropping my pen onto the desk and rubbing my hands across my face, trying to rub away the mental fatigue I was feeling. I was rather glad for the interruption, fearing that I may have popped a vessel in my brain if I had continued to try struggle on. Although, the look on Grey’s face didn’t fill me with confidence as he stepped into the office, carefully shutting the doo

  As it happened, neither of us had to make lunch as Harriet had already made it by the time we collapsed through the door. “Afternoon, Alpha, Beta,” she greeted us with a smile as she placed down the plate she was holding. I was inwardly rejoicing that I didn’t have to make lunch, as I stared around at the mountains of sandwiches that were piled across the counters with a mixture of relief and amazement. “I made extra for the other pack,” she explained as she followed my gaze around the countertops.
