The Beta Trials by Cooper (Jace & Jordan)

Chapter 04 (Jordan)

“I need to get Jace and Carter in here. They need to hear this,” I say, mind linking Jace who I know is close.

I try to mink link Carter, but his mind link is closed. Before I push through, I’ll see if Jace knows where he is. I wouldn’t want to interrupt some romantic interlude.

Jace knocks coming in and closing the door.

“What’s up,” he says, not stepping any further into the room.

“Come in and sit down, we need to talk. Do you know where Carter is? His mind link is closed off,” I say.

“We need to talk about that, but for now, let’s chat without him. What about Beta Elijah?” Jace asks.

“He’s over talking with Griffin,” I say, giving him a meaningful look.

Griffin, my cousin and Alpha of his pack, finally told Layan and Elijah’s daughter Ella that he’s her mate. Griffin is nineteen where Ella is only 17, so Elijah felt the need to have ‘the talk’ with Griffin.

Jace grimaces at that but comes and sits down. “Is this about what was so important earlier?” Jace asks Nolan. “Yes.”

I give Jace the quick version of Nolan’s story, watching as he gets more and more concerned. When I’m done, he sits back and scrubs his hands over his face.

“Do we know anything about these wolves? Names, who their parents were, anything?” he asks looking at Nolan.

“I don’t.”

Jace turns back to me. “You know you’ re not the only female Alpha any longer, Jordan. If these wolves are feeling displaced, they could be talking about Taylor.”
