The Beta Trials by Cooper (Jace & Jordan)

Chapter 08 (Jordan)

Jace and I got all of the council members settled and I was just about to head inside when I get one of those twin sensations, a feeling that my twin is close. It’s not something either of us has ever discussed, but we just know that the other feels it when we’re close. I used to think it was because we were family and part of the same pack, but I’ m feeling it now and Jaxon is no longer part of my pack.

A moment later, I get a mind link from my border patrol telling me that Jaxon and Evangeline are here.

“Do you want me to get Nolan, Jordan?” Jace asks, coming back outside after getting the last of the council members to their rooms.

“Not yet, Jaxon’s here,” I say, just as his car turns the corner and heads our way.

“Were you expecting him?” he asks.

“Not until the Alpha meeting, but if he’s worried about his mate and pup, he would have come earlier, knowing he always has a room here.”

My entire family will be staying on the Alpha floor with me, in their old rooms. I had to move Nolan but now that Carter’s room is vacant, that wasn’t a big deal. Carter seemed surprised that he had to move off the Beta floor this morning.

“You’re no longer a Beta heir in this pack. Jace and I have assigned you a room with the other warriors,” I had told him. It was actually Elijah that had stood by and watched him collect his things, making sure he moved out of his old room. Carter doesn’t seem to truly understand the ramifications of his decision.
