Title of the document

“I can handle it Alpha. And as I side note, I’m glad that the Lunas are going to see the omega Layan. She’s a sweet girl. She didn’t, deserve what happened to her.” “Is your spouse going to be okay here without you? I’m happy to look after her, but Jara and I both got the impression that things, were not good for her at Alpha

Shawn’s pack.”

“They weren’t. It was another reason that I was happy when you asked me about continuing as Luna Jara’s guard. The males in that pack are very aggressive,

making it a constant concern that they might try to take my mate against her will.

Alpha Shawn wasn’t much better.” “I’d like to hear more about that at some point, and I’d like to go. over with you what we are trying to change and get your input. But before that, let’s talk about you and your mate becoming official members of our pack.”

“Before I let you leave my pack as Jara’s guard, I need to have you and Brynn officially join my pack. I know you haven’t been here, very long, but we’re on a tight timeline. Are you willing to swear your loyalty to me and this pack?” I ask.

“Yes, Alpha. I don’t need any more time. My mate may not understand completely, but I watched you and Luna Jara for nearly two months. I know that I can trust
