Chapter 48 (Jordan)

“Hey Nolan. I know we talked about me meeting you at Alpha Luke’s this week, but it doesn’t feel right. I just took my oath as Alpha two days ago and now I’ m planning to go train for a competition that I’m not even eligible for. I need to be here.” I say, by way of greeting.

“Jordan. It’s nice to hear from you. You’re an Alpha, officially the leader of your pack now. I understand if you can’t join me this week, although I won’t say that I’m not disappointed. However, I looked at my schedule. If you can’t join me this week, perhaps you could join me in two weeks? I’ll be in Alpha Jonas’s pack. I believe that’s relatively close to your pack.”

“I can make that work. It gives me time to work with Elijah to prepare for me to be away. This week, all I’ve had time for is preparing for the Alpha ceremony.”

“Excellent. So, tell me, how does it feel to be an official Alpha?”

“Honestly?” I ask him.

“I thought we had agreed to only ever by honest with each other,” he says.

It’s true. When he was here, we had talked about honesty, how important it is. Nolan is about 15 years older than I am and he never found his mate. It was refreshing to talk to someone that wasn’t interested in me just because I’m an Alpha. He wanted to know about me, Jordan, the woman.

When I had started to give him my usual responses, he had called me on it.

“Is that you speaking or is that the Alpha speaking?” he had asked.

I had looked at him. “I’m not sure I know the difference anymore.”

“Hmm, how about, from now on, you tell me what you, Jordan, think when we talk, not you, Alpha Jordan.”

“I don’t know if I know how to do that,” I say honestly.

“What about when you are speaking to your twin? Do you struggle to know the difference then?” he asked.

“No, Jaxon knows me. It’s part of being a twin. There aren’t a lot of secrets.”
