Chapter 643
Judy’s POV
I’m not sure why I’m so nervous. It’s only been about 3 weeks since I last been to this territory. The moment I got off the plane and my feet touched the ground, my wolf immediately recognized this place as home. I knew it wasn’t fair of me to rip her from the only place she’s ever considered home; I was being selfish when I left. But I had to do what was best for me and my heart. The thought of Gavin marrying another woman… having her child… it destroyed me. But now that I know it was all a lie, I’m not really sure where that leaves me. I knew we still had a lot to talk about, but I wasn’t sure where to start.
He had hurt me with the things he had said. I hated that I wanted him so badly. Beta Taylor greeted us when we stepped off the plane. He had the look of concern that made my heart lurch. I knew right away that something was wrong, and it was clear from the look Gavin was giving him, he knew it too.
There was a bus waiting as well, and I knew that bus was meant to take the packmates to their new home in the Redmoon pack.
“The Redmoon packhouse has been cleared out, and the rooms are cleaned. It should fit everyone,” Taylor said, glancing at the cluster of packmates that were scattered around nervously.
Gavin nodded.
“Anything urgent you need to discuss right now?” Gavin asked, his eyes scanning Taylor’s face.
I knew that he didn’t want to discuss the rogue problem in front of people who lost everything to a rogue attack. They need to feel safe, like what they experienced wouldn’t happen again.
Taylor glanced over Gavin’s shoulder at the packmates, and then he sighed.
“No, it can wait,” he said. “Just get them to safety and I’ll see you in the morning.”
“Are things safe?” I asked before I could think.
Taylor glanced at me and then nodded.
“Yes,” he replied. “We are working on it. Now that we have the full team back, we are better than ever. We’ll figure this out.”
I wasn’t sure if that answer satisfied me or not, but I nodded anyway.
Within the hour, we arrived at the
Redmoon pack. I breathed in the fresh air, feeling a sense of belonging welcoming me with open arms. It felt good to be home, Khad to admit. I wanted to see my parents; I was tired, and I missed them so much. But I also wanted to make sure everyone got settled; I also wanted to make sure that Lucy was okay. She looked so haunted that it hurt my heart, and I wanted to let her know that everything was going to be okay going forward, but I wasn’t sure if I believed those words or not, so I decided to keep them to myself.
“This pack is beautiful,” I heard someone saying softly as we walked up to the packhouse. “The
packhouse is huge. Bigger than the one in Redcliff.”
“Yeah…” someone else agreed.
I glanced at Lucy, who was eyeing the packhouse, with Sampson’s arms draped
protectively around her, and his eyes were also on the packhouse.
“Is this our new home?” One of the kids asked, peeking up at Alpha Sampson.
After a brief pause, Sampson nodded.
“Yes,” he replied.
“It’s cleared out,” Gavin explained. “So, you can choose your rooms. I would discuss with your Alpha what floors you can occupy and go from there. We are working on building more homes to house those who don’t wish to live in the packhouse permanently. I’ll work on getting a school schedule from the Redmoon education system for the kids. Available jobs will be posted on the packhouse job board in the main foyer for those who wish to work. This pack hasn’t had an Alpha in a long time, so there’s plenty to do. I’ve sent a memo to the Betas that there is a new Alpha. Of course, you can appoint a new Beta if you wish, but Raymond Cash has been the active Beta for years. He should have alerted the rest of the pack of your arrival. Feel free to call a pack meeting at some point to introduce yourself as their new Alpha. Your inauguration ceremony will be held in 7 days, once you are settled in. That’s also the day you’ll pledge yourself to me fully and break your ties with Alpha Levi.”
Sampson nodded.
“We truly appreciate this,” Sampson said, bowing his head slightly. “Thank you for your hospitality.”
“This pack needed an Alpha, and you needed to get out of that situation back in Redcliff,” Gavin told him bluntly. “This works out for both of us.”
