Shadows of Destiny

Chapter 47

Jake Brighton’s Request ~Devin~ I was sitting in my office when my beta, Lukman, walked into my office to announce Alpha Jake Brighton’s arrival.

I thought my business with his pack was over.

What was he doing in my pack? I did not want to seem rude, but I wasn’t in the mood for a guest.

“Let him in,” I told my beta.

Alpha Brighton walked into my office smiling, and I wondered what the occasion was.

“Good afternoon, Bane,” he said, and I plastered a fake smile on my face to avoid being rude.

“Hello, Brighton,” I told him, and he nodded and sat down without me offering him a seat.

The man made himself comfortable.

“To what do I owe this visit?” I asked him, wanting to get straight to the point, and he sighed.

“I was laying on my bed last night thinking of how to improve my people’s lives when an idea popped into my head,” he said, and I frowned at him.

“Shouldn’t you be discussing that with Volkov?” I asked, and he had an angry scowl on his face.

“I can never discuss my people with that bastard.

He has done enough,” he said, and I wasn’t comfortable with his words.

As much as I wanted to dissolve the rule of the north, I wasn’t comfortable having such a conversation.

Jake noticed and frowned at me.

“Did I come on a bad day?” he asked, and I wanted to say yes, but I shook my head and smiled at him.

I couldn’t be happy or enthusiastic about anything.

There were just two months left to the blue moon.

If I don’t do anything and Sylvester claims Tamia, I would have to kill him to get her back.

I hope she isn’t in love with him.

I needed to do something quickly.

“Care to elaborate?” I finally said, wanting to be rid of the man.

He smiled, adjusted his seat, and then looked at my shelf where I had drinks.

I deliberately didn’t offer him anything because I did not want to stand up.

“If you want some, you can pour yourself a glass,” I said, and he smiled and went to pour himself a glass of brandy.

He took a sip and returned to sit down.

“I know what you did for my people was from the kindness of your heart, and I appreciate it,” he started, and I was attentive.

“I was hoping you could allow my people to work in your region.

Mostly part-time odd jobs in construction and the factories, “he said, and I frowned at him.

“The income and experience will help develop my people, and if things get worse with the north, we can abandon our lands and settle down in your region as members of your pack.

I am willing to let go of my leadership for the sake of my people,” he said, and I knew he was serious.

I had to respect the love he had for his people.

“I do not think that will be possible in the south because we are highly populated,” I said, and his smile dropped.

“But,” I added, and there was hope in his eyes.

“I plan on visiting Leonardo Albert in the east.

They have land and jobs.

Your people will be able to settle and work there.

He might even give you land to use to lead your people.” I said, and he frowned at me.

“Are you his friend?” he asked, feeling awkward about my suggestion.

“We are acquainted, and I know they need people for manual labour due to the current issues they had with the north.

and the fact that some of their people have moved to the south,” I told him, and he smiled at me.
