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.

“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.
