"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 simr 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 avable 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 ites to it." A few of the girls seemed to take deep


    breaths and rx just a little. No one was crying anymore and a few of them looked like they epted


    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.


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


    "I guess we all know what I am going to ask..." She tried to give a light heartedugh 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 tolst 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 avable but I''m


    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 hisptop 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 pped 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. Thend 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 epted 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.
