Chapter 77


    When I went back inside I started I went upstairs to my bedroom and I had a shower and I got dressed


    into some respectable looking clothes and I went downstairs to the office.I had given the packhouse


    staff the day off and it might have been for nothing because I didn''t know if he wasing home today


    or not.


    He''s probably too pissed at me toe home.


    Hopefully he''s waiting to calm down before hees home.


    I really don''t know.I sat behind Jackson''s desk and I turned on theputer and I realized that Jackson


    hadn''t been in here for a while.


    At least not on theputer.He was always sitting here looking at bills and paperwork, but he wasn''t


    paying much attention to theputer.


    And as soon as I got into the emails I saw that there were dozens that hadn''t been opened.So I started


    looking through them and a lot of them had to do with his businesses around the country.


    The ones that he owns and how he makes all of his money.


    So I pulled out all the necessary paperwork for these businesses so I knew what they were talking


    about.I looked at the first business.


    It was a hotel with a staff of 500, 1200 rooms and an independent restaurant.


    The manager was asking a lot of questions about different things.


    So I looked at the first question and went through the paperwork and then answered it in the email


    before going on to the second question.


    The email ended up being very long to answer all of his questions ande up with solutions that he


    was having trouble with.


    So I sent that email off and then I got on to the next one.I wasn''t actually aware of how many


    businesses Jackson had until I started looking through these books.


    He has a hell of alot more money than I thought.He''s made this pack into a country wide pack, and his


    ie has shot up like crazy.


    There were messages from other packs that were having problems that the people he left in charge


    couldn''t handle, so I came up with solutions to their problems and replied to them.


    But I''m sure that they all thought that it was Jackson replying to them.I never told them that it was me.I


    didn''t need the credit.I just needed to make sure that nothing was falling apart without him there.


    The phone started ringing and I answered it but the man on the other end was being very hostile


    because Jackson wasn''t here.


    He didn''t want to deal with a woman.


    "I think I would rather talk to Alpha Jackson and not his receptionist." The man says.


    "Who the hell is this?" I asked.


    "I run the Idaho pack." He snapped back at me.


    "Well, I am Luna Taylor.And if you ever speak to me like that again, you won''t be capable of running on


    your own two legs, let alone an entire fucking pack.Do I make myself clear?" I snapped at him.


    "I''m very sorry Luna.I didn''t realize it was you." He says.


    "Yeah, no shit sherlock.What the hell is the problem?" I asked.


    "Is Alpha Jackson there?" He asked.


    "No.Otherwise I would have already put him on to talk to you, you asshole.Do you really think I want to


    be talking to you?" I asked.


    "Well, my name is Michael.We are having trouble with Rogues.They are attacking more often." He


    says.


    So I grabbed the appropriate notebook.


    "Alright.Call the packs in Montana.There''s three packs there that are close enough to give you


    assistance.And they are bigger than yours.They will have warriors to spare.Until you have the rogue


    situation under control." I say.


    "Okay.I can do that.But, I don''t have the numbers." He says.


    So I gave him the leaders'' names and their phone numbers.And I order him to tell them that it''s an


    order from Alpha Jackson''s office.


    They are toply or all hell will break loose.


    Before I got off the phone I said that records show that he does have a fairlyrge pack.


    Why doesn''t he have the manpower to protect himself? He tells me that the rogues have been


    attacking for about three months now and they''ve lost 235 warriors in these attacks.


    The pack isn''t much at all anymore.


    Jackson wouldn''t send them any more help.


    Him calling was hisst ditch effort to keep this pack from beingpletely wiped out.


    So I tell him to call the other packs and have them send warriors immediately.


    After I was finished with Jackson''s businesses and the other packs that needed help, I had to get


    started with this pack This one wasn''t in such bad shape because Jackson has been here taking care


    of things himself.He hadn''t moved on and let them fend for themselves yet.


    But there were still some issues that were being raised.


    Someone knocked on the door while I was looking through theputer and I invited them in and it


    was Edward and Hannah.


    They both obviously looked shocked when they walked in and saw me sitting there, but I leaned back


    in my chair and invited them both to sit down.


    "What can I do for you?" I asked.


    "Well, everything that goes on around here needs to go through the Alpha.That includes housing


    assignments." Edward says.


    "Yeah.I''m aware of that." I say.


    "Well, we''ve asked Alpha Jackson several times if Hannah and myself can get a ce on our own.To


    live together, but he keeps turning us down.But we''ve noticed all the empty houses around the pack


    and we don''t understand why he keeps turning us down." Edward exined looking very uneasy


    talking to me about this.


    "Maybe we should wait and talk to the Alpha about this."" Hannah says.


    "I don''t know when he''ll be back." I grabbed the housing assignment book for this pack and I started


    looking through it.


    "There are dozens of houses that are empty and no one seems to be assigned to move into them." I


    say looking through the book.


    "These houses have been empty for a while." Edward says.


    "Well, Jackson would have been saying no to punish you.He''s done his homework and he knows what


    you did to me.That''s why he would have said no." I say.


    "He does like to punish people, doesn''t he?" Edward asked.


    And I looked at him with avery straight face and I think he realized that he had just said the wrong thing


    to say.


    "There''s a small one bedroom house in the middle of town.On Richmond Avenue.Do you know it?" I


    asked.


    "Yeah." Edward says.


    "You can have that one. I''ll pen it in here and say that the house is now unavable. You can start


    moving in whenever you like." I say getting up and going to the filing cab.


    I found the right set of keys for that house and I gave it to them and they were both really surprised.


    They thanked me a lot before they left.But who the hell was I to say that they can''t live together.I know


    what they did to me, but I''ve found my mate now.


    They haven''t.They''re just dating.Them living together won''tst long once they find their fated mates.


    If they want to make the mistake of living together then they are more than wee to.


    When I finished with everything that I needed to do in the office I went to the kitchen and I made myself


    something to eat for dinner and then I sat at the kitchen ind eating it.I kept looking at my phone but


    there were no messages.I don''t know why I was looking, he left in wolf form and doesn''t have his


    phone with him.I mind linked the warriors on patrol and none of them had seen him.


    But to avoid gossip and worry from the pack, I just told them that he was heading for the woods and he


    left his phone at home.


    He went to check something out.


    I just made something up so that they wouldn''t ask too many questions.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    They didn''t need to know what was going on.


    And I didn''t want them to know what was going on.


    It was none of their business.


    When I finished dinner I went upstairs and I had a shower and I got dressed and I got into bed.I was


    exhausted.


    It wasn''t easy being in charge.I definitely knew that now, and I had only been doing it for one day.I was


    lying in bed for a little while thinking about where Jackson could be and I was getting worried.


    But there was nothing I could do until he decided toe back home.I knew that he woulde home


    when he was ready.So I rolled over to my side and I drifted off to sleep.


    A dreamless sleep, surprisingly.I wasn''t sure how long I was asleep for before I was woken up by my


    phone ringing.


    It was Jackson''s sister Olive.


    "What''s going on?" I asked groggily.


    "Jackson''s here.He''s at my house.He''s been hurt." She said and I jumped up into a sitting position.


    "What do you mean hurt?" I asked.


    "I don''t know.There''s something wrong with him.And it''s not normal.I think he''s been attacked." She


    says and my heart sank at the thought of that.


    "I''m on my way." I say.
