The silence within the office was palpable. Awkward. I tried to keep myself upied with some of
the paperwork thaty upon my desk, but I found myself persistently checking the time. This
appointment was due anytime now, and I truly did not want to be dealing with some randomer from
out of pack.
Yes, it had been my choice to bring her here to interview her, but I am certain that the interview did
not need three of us. The coffee in the mug upon my desk had not done what I needed in waking
me up, nor making me feel better. Being polite and friendly was most certainly not. within my
rhetoric today because of the amount of sleep I had managed…
“Does she have much experience?” Caleb suddenly interrupted the deafening silence.
I turn to look at my friend and shrug. “This is all your Dad’s suggestion,” I said, slightly too snappily,
and I saw both Caleb and Eden nce at one another. That knowing look upon their faces. The
look I tire of. One of sympathy. Pity. Concern. Like I was such a worry for them. Yet, strangely, I was
still more than capable of being the Beta of the pack. Completing my role and many of the tasks of
Caleb’s too, if I am not mistaken, to lessen his responsibilities to allow him the time to spend with
his young son, and his heavily pregnant wife. But they seem to forget that when they have these
moments of great concern…
“I think she is newly qualified from what your Dad said.” Eden adds, with a small smile. “Are you
sure you are okay, Asher?” her voice seeps concern and care, which only further irritates me. Why
do they have to treat me like I am damaged? Like I am a fragile piece of ssware or a ticking
timebomb….
I looked toward her, raising my brows as I met her beautiful blue eyes. “Yes, Eden. I am fine. Think
we covered this already. I am just tired.” I dismissed her. “Though if this girl is not here soon, her
meeting will be canceled, we have better things to do than sit around and wait all day for her.”
Eden nced at her husband and mate once more, before smiling a tight and ufortable smile.
The sort of smile that was bing more frequent around me. “She isn’t due for another ten
minutes, Ash.”
Another ten minutes? So why are we all sitting here already? Ten minutes… And that is before we
even have to start the interview? My brain will be ready to evaporate into nothingness by the time I
am done today! Either that or simply explode. My limit for dealing with others was going to be have
been far exceeded. To think I used to be one of the pack’s more sociable members would likely not
be believed now…..
‘SECURITY ALERT! Rogues detected on the southern border!’ a mindlink suddenly came through
from one of the pack warriors running border patrol, and I stood from my desk. There was no way I
would be staying within the office now. I had other ces I was needed.
“I will до and deal with that.” I told Caleb and Eden, knowing they too would have heard the security
alert. An opportunity to deal with rogues is always a wee prospect. Rogues are who took my
mate. Sn*tched the life from her beautiful body. So now I take great pleasure in
watching the life beingatched from them Seeing the life dein from their pune The fear and

Chapter 18 Asher
“Ash, we have the meeting set up any minute.” Caleb chooses to inform me.

I looked at him, a look of displeasure on my face. “Yeah, and it does not take three of us to interview
for a teacher. Whereas when a rogue or multiple rogue
infiltrate our borders, you, I or both have always gone to help deal with it. That should not change
just because some random she-wolf is here to visit. She is not of that much importance.”
I turned away and walked toward the door. Not willing to stand around and debate this any further. I
needed to get outside to the border. Help the warriors that would already be on their way. I would
not have rogues putting our pack in danger again…
“Keep me updated.” Caleb says with a sigh, knowing that it is not worth arguing with me.
“Will do. And make sure this she-wolf is capable of doing the role we need. And is not going to be a
risk to the pack.” I said, knowing I am telling Caleb things he already knows, but he has been
irritating me this morning, so I shall irritate him too. I give him a dark nce, before opening the
door, nearly walking into the pretty young she-wolf standing outside the office door, alongside one of
our pack omegas who I assume has escorted her here.
Her eyes went wide as I almost walked into her, and likely because she heard half the things I had
just said. Oh well, I am sure she would get over it. Not like she would see much of me even if she
did join the pack to be a teacher here. And, besides, she needs to learn if she is part of our
pack she needs to follow the rules and not put us at risk in anyway.
“Sorry Beta.” The young omega by her side acknowledged me, obviously reading the expression.
upon my face as being far from impressed.
I simply nod, not in the mood for pleasantries now. My mind was already focusing on the rogues
that had crossed onto ournds. The rogues that need to be handed their punishment. I did not
need to be wasting my time with some frail little she-wolf here for an interview. I had somet rogues
to destroy. I moved away as fast as I could, my eyes focused upon the corridor ahead of me. My
wolf, Zion, rippling beneath my skin, desperate to be let out. He, too, enjoyed bringing these rogues
to their retribution. And that beat chatting with some random she-wolf any day of the week…
