The Beta Trials by Cooper (Jace & Jordan)

Chapter 25 (Jace)

I already don’t like this bear. Well, I don’ t like any of them. Their welcome has been less than warm.

Jordan moves to take her bag off my shoulder.

“I’ve got it,” I tell her.

“Do you need help, pup? I can carry those for you?” one of the bears asks. ‘Jace, please. I know they’re on your last nerve already, but we’re here to make alliances. To do that, we need to be friendly,’ Jordan says in my head.

‘Tell that to our car, Jordan,’ I say, but slap a smile on my face and look at the bear.

“I’m good thanks, Pops,” I say. It worked for Jordan and Balor, maybe it’ II work for me and this guy.

“Don’t call me that,” he grumbles and shoulder slams me as he walks past me. Goddess almighty, my shoulder feels like he nearly dislocated it.

“You know our names, what are your names?” Jordan asks.

“My name’s Darryl, sweetheart. I’m Balor’s second in command,” one of the bears says to Jordan. I try to hold back the growl at him calling her sweetheart, but it doesn’t quite work. I swear I see him look at Balor who smirks back at him. They’re enjoying this.

“Darryl, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Alpha Jordan, as you’ve no doubt heard, and this is my Gamma, Jace,” she says introducing me.

“Gamma? Isn’t that like, third in command?” the shoulder-smacker bear asks.

I look at him. “That’s right,” I say.
