Chapter 65: *“The necklace…where did you get it?“*
Accompanied by the dramatic urgings of Darien, they all got out of the SUV. The Alpha’s protection detail had already moved into place, doing what they eight of the best trained enforcers on this continent.
They operated in teams of eight, making six groups within the troop that rotated shifts every eight hours. Which meant only three teams would be on pro
As they started up the walkway to the front door, Alpha Andrew’s phone pinged with a notification. Pulling it out to read it, Alpha Andrew let out a big smil
Darien, who was walking behind Alpha Andrew and Alora, leaned forward. “What’s excellent news, dad?” he asked. Kain and Galen were walking behind
“Officer Terrawing was able to expedite the paperwork on Alora. Everything has been approved and officially archived. Now Alora’s status, rank, and title
“When did he leave to get this done?” Darien asked.
“Right after Alora’s fight with Byron Northmountain.” Alpha Andrew told him. “Enough, now is not the time for these questions.”
They were on the front porch standing at the front door. Just when Alora was about to open the door and let everyone in, it was violently pulled open. Be at Alora. Before a single foul word. came out of Bettina’s mouth, she froze, her eyes widening at just who was standing next to Alora.
It was painful, watching Bettina as she forcefully reconstructed her expression to a false one of pleasantly surprised. “Well, isn’t this a wonderful surprise? Plea
“Thank you for so graciously welcoming us into your home.” Alpha Andrew said. Smiling, he put an arm around Alora’s shoulders. “We are here accompanying Alora as her guests.”
Alora felt she had to give Bettina credit, she managed to keep the wide smile plastered on her face after hearing what Alpha Andrew said. “Oh… well…that was…nice of her.” Bettina managed to say, and it had been a struggle.
“Sorry to inconvenience you with such an impromptu visit Mrs. Northmountain, but I felt it was necessary.” Alpha Andrew said, sounding both earnest and
Bettina nodded, playing nervously with the pearls around her neck. Bettina was dressed in one of her classic outfits. A sleeveless knee length a– line dress with a pleated flare skirt, this one a pale pastel pink. On her feet were a pair of white five–inch arrow toed pumps. Her waist length white– blond hair was swept up into a fancy updo that bared the neck her ever present pearls were around. In her ears was a single pair of large pearl studs.
Bettina, while smoothing the back of her skirt, sat delicately on the couch next to her husband. With her ankles crossed, she placed her laced hands on h
Allister was sitting up stiffly, he was pale with a forced smile on his face. His gaze also couldn’t seem to settle on any one thing for more than two second
With a practiced sweeping gesture in the direction of the couch in front of her, Bettina asked. “Please, take a seat Alpha Moonstar.”
Alpha Andrew swept forward and sat in the middle of the couch. He leaned back against the couch, looking deceptively casual and relaxed. However, there was no mistaking the feel of the Alpha of Alpha’s power, the air around him hummed with it. Alora stood next to Darien behind the couch, with Kain and Galen flanking them.
“As you know, Alora turned eighteen several days ago, as such she is now considered an adult to the Pack.” Alpha Andrew said. “Knowing how exemplary she has performed in both our Pack’s grade school and university, I have invited Alora to work for the Pack.”
“You have?” Bettina asked, her smile now showing signs of strain. “What a…wonderful opportunity… for her.” Bettina struggled to come up with a reasonable way to get him to rethink his offer. She finally settled on one she thought would at least cause some doubt.
“Don’t you think she’s a little too young for such a…prestigious position?” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“While she is young, her level of maturity is that of someone decades older. That, and with her obtaining multiple doctorates at such a young age, makes her truly of value to the Pack. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity of retaining such an asset
Bettina’s smile was now more of a grimace, blinking rapidly as she became agitated. “Uh… well…” was all she managed to stutter out. Not knowing wha
‘Sarah!” Bettina mind linked Sarah.
“What?!” Sarah demanded impatiently.
“Alora’s back, I need you down here this instant!” Bettina demanded.
“That whore is finally back? She certainly took her sweet time.” Sarah said.
“Yes, now get down here!” Bettina yelled at her through their mind link.
Alpha Andrew smiled widely. “I thought so, and lucky for me and the Pack, Alora immediately accepted the offer. This means she has sworn herself to th
“She what?!” Allister and Bettina asked at the same time, their eyes wide with panic.
If Alora was sworn to the Pack itself, through a blood oath to the Alpha, there was no way to hand her over to their Clan Alpha’s without drawing attention. They no longer had any legitimate hold on Alora, other than the fact that she lived here. Remembering that fact gave B next

“Now, the job offer comes with an apartment at Moonstar Mansion. We have already had one fully furnished and ready for Alora to move in.” Alpha Andrew told them.

Bettina felt she was on an emotional roller coaster at this point. Allister was not doing
much better than Bettina.
“However, my mate, Luna Ember, is too impatient to wait till then to finally have Alora
under her roof. Therefore, we have asked Alora to move in tonight, a request Alora has agreed too.” Alpha Andrew said cheerfully. “I felt it only right to ac
Bettina swallowed before saying. “This….is all…happening way too fast…don’t you think…dear?” Bettina turned her head to look at Allister with a wide–eyed look.
“Yes, just…a little too fast.” Allister said, agreeing with Bettina, after her prompting look.
“It
may seem fast, but I have been interested in hiring Alora for several years now.” Alpha turned his head to the side to look at Alora. “Sweetheart, why don’t you and the twins go to your room and pack?”
Alora nodded. “Yes Alpha.” Turning, Alora and the Twins started for the staircase, only to be blocked.
Sarah had just bounded excitedly down the stairs. Sarah’s Expression turned angry at the sight of Alora and opened her mouth to loudly berate her. But,
After a signal from Bettina, Sarah’s smile was overly bright. “Sister your home! And you brought such important guests with you. How wonderfully though
“Excuse me for a second.” Alpha Andrew said as he stood up. “The necklace around your neck…where did you get it?”
Sarah froze, she had forgotten she had put the damned thing on. She had done it in anticipation of tormenting Alora with her possession of it tonight. The
