Chapter 0335
“Okay, well, while you battle for your Alpha position, I can take a look at what needs to be done around here. How are you getting food and supplies for the pack. members?” I ask Carlos.
He sighs. “I don’t have anything structured in place. The pack has no way to make money, so me and some other warriors have been hunting, and some of the she–wolves have built a garden to help supplement with fruits and vegetables.”
“I’ll be working on the income, that’s one of my questions for Rik and Liam.” Eli says before turning to me. “And I think it would be good for both of us to get a tour of the pack. I need to see what has been done in my absence and you need to see what we’re up against.” He says, taking my hand and squeezing it.
I smile back at him. “I guess you’re not the only one facing a challenge.” I say to him. As overwhelming and intimidating as all of this sounds, it also sounds exciting. I don’t want to say anything in front of Carlos just yet, but I still have quite a bit of money, which could go a long way toward at least getting food for the pack.
“How many pack members are there now?” Eli asks.
Carlos moves some papers around his desk before finding the one that he was looking for. “Currently, we’re at just under 300 pack members.”
Eli whistles softly. “That’s considerably more than when I left.”
Carlos nods. “You know how it is. Too many people thrown out of their packs with no where to go. The word seems to have gotten out and I swear we have new people coming to our borders asking for sanctuary every day. I’ve been keeping a list, but when we have some money, it would be great to get a computer so we can keep electronic files of our members. By myself, I can barely keep up with the paperwork.”
“So, you need an assistant?” I ask.
He laughs sardonically. “What I need is a mate that can act as the Beta female, but I doubt that’s in my future, not without a wolf.”
“I’ll tell you a secret Carlos. I didn’t get my wolf until I turned 18 a couple of months ago. I was living alone, working in a diner just to keep myself from starving and being homeless. Then,Igot my wolf and Guardian spirit all at once,
and now, here I am, mated to Eli, the Alpha of Pack and about to become a
Luna. So you see, anything can happen. You’re an Alpha, just like me. It doesn’t
matter if you have a wolf. I don’t know you well, but I can already tell that you have a lot to offer a mate. You’ll find her.” I tell him. He’s run this pack on his own for a year. That says a lot about his strength and his compassion for the people in this pack.
He smiles at me sadly before changing the subject. “If you want, I can give you that tour now. I’ll get word out that anyone that wants to challenge you for the position of Alpha needs to let me know and I’ll get it set up this week.”
We all stand. “Start setting it up tomorrow. The sooner the better.” Eli says.
Carlos raises his brow at Eli. “Are you sure you want to start tomorrow? I’m assuming you’ll be completing your mate bond tonight. I doubt you’ll be getting much sleep.”
Eli stops, looking at me, a mischievous smile on his face. I can feel my cheeks warming in my embarrassment of this open discussion of our upcoming sexual interaction. “Good idea. Start setting it up for the day after tomorrow.” He says
to Carlos.
Carlos tries unsuccessfully to hide his grin. “Yes, Alpha.”
