The Beta Trials by Cooper (Jace & Jordan)

Chapter 06 (Jordan)

After leaving Jace, I went back inside the packhouse and called Griffin. He was understandably worried about his sister, and I felt a little better knowing that he and Elijah were joining Jace in meeting up with Taylor.

Then I left a message for each of my siblings. With them being in their pack lands, they don’t have easy access to their phones, but I wanted to make sure that they were being careful.

I have just finished my last call when there’s a knock at the door. I look up and see Carter.

“Come in,” I say, already knowing what’ s coming, thanks to Jace.

“Hey, Alpha. I wanted to speak with you.”

“Have a seat,” I say, not bothering to get up and go around my desk to sit with him, like I normally do. If he’s going to disrespect me by renouncing his position in this pack and me as his Alpha, then he can do it with me acting like an Alpha rather than his friend.

I can tell he’s surprised by my attitude, but truthfully, I have more important things to worry about right now than Carter’s ego.

“So, I wanted to let you know that I’ve entered the Beta Trials.”

I look at him, long enough for him to start squirming.

“Any particular reason that you don’t want to be my Beta? Beta to this pack that you were born into?” I ask and there is nothing warm about my tone. “I just… I’d like an opportunity to see what other packs might be available to me.”

“Packs with a male Alpha?” I ask, getting to the point since he doesn’t seem to want to.

“Well, yes.”

I nod, looking down at the work in front of me. “I wish you luck. Both in the Beta Trials and in telling your parents. They aren’t going to be happy about it.”

“They’ll be fine once I’ve earned my position,” he says, as if that will make it better.
