Chapter _7

So shall I treat you." I shoved past them to attend a ceremony that held little meaning for me, anymore!

As I said my oath at the office that" I would try to uphold...justice .

I listened to my baby sister's screams of agony.. after the marking of Amelia. Looking out at the pack.. I said "Those agonizing screams? That is the pain of a true mate feeling her mate mark on an unworthy chosen!"

I shifted into Bastian(wolf 🐺)and ran! I need

to think!

After 2years:

Aurora Pov:

I walk across the stage to receive my diploma.. Reciting my speech in my head... I graduated! Dean's list.. top of my class.. as such, Valedictorian is mine by right. I am proud of myself! I have achieved a myriad of accolades and achievements, in my 24 months here.

After I delivered my speech, I rush out to find Caleb.. finding him, in a group of my friends.. I run. He catches me and swings me around..

kissing me all over my face.

I laugh, as he tells me "I am so proud of you! You are going to do such great things!"

We head out to have dinner, at an exclusive restaurant in town.. one over from Sacred Moon, as Caleb has to return tonight. Walking in, he gives his name and we are seated.

We order drinks and he asks "Have you kept up with your training?"

I grin and nod "Of course! I bet I could give you a run for your money now!"

He chuckles and mutters something about always betting.

The server takes our dinner order and I ask "How have things been? Even though I am not pack, I still worry about them.. with the exception of the few, the people mean a lot to me."

He smiles "I know they do! Not a day goes by, that someone doesn't ask about you.

Luna Bridget asks every day.. but she does so covertly. The pack is going to hell.

You were right when you said Anderson would be a weak Alpha. It's like following behind a two year old.. constantly cleaning up his messes.

He spends a fortune in pack funds.. keeping Amelia in the style she is accustomed to.

Delusions of grandeur. You called it.. It's just a matter of time. But, tell me! Which offer did you accept?"

I smile.. very proud of all the packs.. and different species seeking my council.

One, in particular, caught my eye.. and after deliberating a good month or so, I decided to accept.. and am pleased with myself!

I tell him "I accepted the Draconian Pack.. in Alaska! It's only twenty miles from Grandma's old pack.. Heartsong. I am so excited.

They paid me a four hundred grand retainer for the next two years. There is a lot of cases pending.. in regards to land rights.. mineral rights.. natural gas.. as well as oil. I'm going to be a busy little puppy for awhile! Gotta earn my keep!"

He laughed "Holy s**t! When will I ever get to see you!? I refuse to go more than six months without my hugs and cuddles!" I smiled, taking his hand, I said "I will be down in the lower 48, frequently, I believe. A lot of these hearings will be held at council headquarters.. we can get together..
