Chapter 410


    “Oh.” I wasn’t sure what to say. I guess there isn’t a rule that said she can’t not be Beta female. I’m


    sure Penny could find someone to do it. Finding the right person is difficult.


    “I’m sorry but with the conversations we have had, she has too much trauma that she needs to work


    through. Maybe one day she will be trusted with that position but right now, she needs to focus on


    getting


    better.”


    “Okay.” I said simply.


    “Okay?” Jacob looked at me like he expected something more.


    “Jacob, making a decision for the benefit of the pack isn’t easy. Especially when ites to your mate.


    Your acting like a true beta. If Sherry needs help then move mountains and get her help. We will get by


    till she is avable.”


    “Thanks. I thought you would be upset.”


    “Why? She needs help. I can’t imagine the terror she lived throu The first step of healing is epting


    what was. Now, she knows y are on her side, she will have your support as she makes it.”


    “Okay. Can she leave the room?”


    “We need to talk to her again first.” I said. Jacob nodded but didn’t say anything else.


    Saya


    “Can we do that now?” Jacob finally asked.


    “Sure.” I had calmed down enough that I could do it. Standing up, we walked back to the pack house.


    “I’ll get her and meet you in your office.” Jacob said.


    “Okay.” I went to my office as he walked off to his room. Going inside, I saw Penny sitting at her desk.


    “Jacob is bringing Sherry in to talk.


    She is going to get therapy and get better before returning to her duties.” Sitting behind my desk, I


    loaded up myputer.


    “Do you want me to leave?” Penny asked.


    “You are free to do whatever you want to do.” Looking at the trackers,


    I saw they had split up. On my phone, there was a message.


    Unknown: Gunther is back with Vin.


    There was also a missed call from him that I needed to return. However, Jacob would be here soon so I


    didn’t have time to make


    that call.


    “I’ll stay.” Penny walked over and took a seat in the chair in front of me. Neither one of us spoke. The


    silent got almost too loud when a knock on the door made us both sigh in relief.


    “A-alpha.” Sherry bowed as she came in.


    “Sherry,e in and have a seat.” I said.


    She was pretty timid as she made her way in and had a seat. you for seeing me.”


    “Of course. What can I do for you?”


    “I wanted to apologize for not telling you the full truth. I was afraid of how everyone would react.”


    “Do you have anything else you want to tell me?” I asked.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “I just don’t know. I would like to confess everything to Jacob privately. He obviously will be able to tell


    you anything that needs ryed. If it’s okay with you, I’d like to keep between him and I. I think I’ll find it


    easier to face my past if I do it this way.”


    “I’ll respect that as long as you understand that Jacob has a responsibility to tell me anything that will


    affect the security of this pack and of the Luna. I don’t want that to keep you from opening up to Jacob.


    I’m d you are seeking help and I’m proud of you for it. However, in the mean time, I think you need


    to take a break from beta female duties. Take time and heal yourself and we can look into you doing


    more at ater date.”


    I


    “I understand that. I’m sorry it hase to this. I knew I should have. said something sooner.”


    “Understand that I am granting you this freedom because Jacob is your mate. Don’t make me regret


    this but I want you to get better.” “I understand. Thank you.” Sherry stood up. “One more thing….”
