Chapter 24 - Silvercloud


    That girl certainly has a lot of empathy for others. No wonder anyone I’ve spoken to about the Fayte


    sisters has always called the youngest the cinnamon roll sweetheart. Crista is the eldest and takes on a


    more matronly and collected role. I am mated to the middle sister, who by all ounts is the


    unpredictable wild child that is a total smartass. And honestly, that’s an urate description of my


    mate.


    “She’s your assistant and knows the truth. And even then, she only knows a part of the truth. Without


    knowing you’re a werewolf and about our culture, you suddenly being involved with a person you just


    met is probably rming.” Delh sighed.


    “Still don’t like her calling me his fuck buddy,” Persephone grumbled, biting into her muffin aggressively.


    “I’ll talk to Shikoba to the extent I’m allowed, and it will be handled,” I promised. “I need to text her and


    confirm that all interns need to have their ess locked down and that it includes you.” I sighed, taking


    my phone out.


    Me: She’s not my fuck buddy. We’re dating. So do what is necessary with HR about it. And Persephone


    knows she’s included in the intern ess lockdown. So get it down.


    Shikoba: Cult. I’ll handle it.


    Me: It’s not a cult. *eye roll emoji*


    “Okay, that’s handled.” I nodded, pocketing my phone before digging into my mountain of food.


    “What’s going on with Rohan? I heard you mention his name.” Scott decided to speak.


    “That’s right, you know him. I’m not overly familiar with him on a personal level. But when I was


    searching for potential Delta guards, he came up. He works at my office in the security department. But


    he shouldn’t have been in my search results as he’s unmated. “ I exined.


    “What did Shikoba have to say about him?” Persephone asked.


    “She said he transferred from Kinsley Industrial not long before you arrived. John approved it, so I’ll


    have to ask him what that’s about. I can only assume he figured that a visiting ally’s sister working at


    Silvercloud required someone from Bloodmoon in my security personnel.” I shrugged.


    “I can confirm he was transferred from Kinsley because of two iing werewolf interns. He told me


    he would miss working at Kinsley since more of the pack are employed there than at yourpany.”


    Scott chimed in. “And your search wasn’t technically wrong to have him in the results.”


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “Well, that exins why he’s at Silvercloud.” Delh nodded.


    “It doesn’t exin why he was in the search results. What do you mean the results weren’t technically


    wrong?” Persephone questioned.


    “Well, it’s kind of personal.” Scott frowned.


    “Scott, he works at mypany. He pulled up as a possible guard for my mate. I’m this pack’s Delta.


    No one gets to keep shit from me for personal reasons.” I reminded him.


    It’s my role as Delta to ensure we, as leaders, know everything we can about every pack member. We


    could incorrectly assign someone to a mission or pack-rted task if we are missing data. I can’t let


    that happen. There’s a reason I have a database about everyone in the pack. So if I’m missing


    something, I need to update my data.


    “Fine…” Scott sighed. “I’m surprised he kept it a secret this long.” He frowned.


    “Out with it.” Persephone gestured for him to hurry it up.


    “Rohan was with us three years ago while traveling to the gatherings. He stayed in les Hurleurs


    Sanctifiés while the rest of us went onward and ended up stuck in Incubi for the war.” Scott started to


    exin.


    “He found his mate in les Hurleurs Sanctifiés? Why wouldn’t we know he has a mate? Did something


    happen to them?” I started to feel bad for Rohan if he found his mate, only to have them die. I didn’t


    want to assume gender because it wasmon enough knowledge that Rohan was pansexual.


    “Because his mate rejected him. The guy didn’t want anyone to know he liked men. I don’t know. I don’t


    care what the dickhead’s sexuality is. I was the only one from the pack there with Rohan when the jerk


    rejected him in favor of a she-wolf he was dating.” Scott grumbled.


    “Oh… that poor man.” Delh and Persephone both gasped in unison.


    “But why stay in les Hurleurs Sanctifiés after being rejected?” Persephone asked. “I’d want to get as far


    from the dirtbag as possible.”


    “The rejection took a heavy toll.” Scott frowned.


    “That’s what it was? I remember something about someone falling ill during the gathering trip that year.


    But it was never detailed. Why was this kept from us? If we’d been properly informed, he’d have been


    given the necessary counseling and support.” I furrowed my brow, making a mental note to discuss this


    with Charles. Maybe Rohan sought him out privately. I hope he did because that isn’t something


    someone should go through solo.


    “Rohan didn’t want people to know he got rejected. Better to be considered unmated than rejected.”


    Scott shrugged.


    “I see. Well, that does change some things. I’ll have to address it with Rohan and the other ranked


    leaders. If he hasn’t sought out Charles independently, Charles will want to schedule sessions with him.


    Rohan should know better than this. We take care of each other in Bloodmoon.” I sighed, getting up.


    This changed many things. Knowing he wasn’t officially unmated meant he belonged on the list of


    options. I don’t know how Dove knew that. Yet another thing about Dove I don’t understand. I will need


    to set aside time to investigate Dove’s functionality. Things have been happening since I built it that


    don’t add up.


    “I hope you consider him to be Delta Persephone’s guard. Rohan is a good wolf, loyal to our pack and


    his ability is truly unique. You’ll never find another warrior like him.” Scott bowed his head as he got up.


    “Miss Fayte. We need to head out, so you aren’tte for your ss.” He gestured for Delh to go with


    him.


    “Right. Well, I can’t wait to hear about how things turn out. Remember, Persephone. I’ll be hanging out


    with Suzie after sses. Try not to get in trouble at work.” Delh smiled as she hugged Persephone,


    then stopped and gave me one too.


    “It’s nice to have another brother.” She grinned sheepishly before hurrying out of the room. Luckily for


    her, Scott grabbed her bag that she’d forgotten.


    “We should head out too,” I suggested gathering my dirty dishes.


    “So we are back to having six options. We should probably schedule meetings with all of them soon. If


    we can have them chosen before my family gets here, it will put certain people at ease.” Persephone


    nodded. “I should also probably schedule a meeting with the other female, ranked members.”


    “You’re already on our calendar.” Sybille smiled as she walked in, holding Xavier’s hand.


    “Oh… that’s good.” Persephone blinked.


    “Right, Persephone, this is Sybille, our Gamma. She’s been a ranked she-wolf longer than everyone


    elsebined. The poor woman had to deal with us for years before Aurelia showed up.” Iughed.


    “Yes, it was a hardship. Especially dealing with you.” Sybille scoffed as she got out a juice for Xavier.


    “This is my son Xavier.” She smiled, stroking his blonde locks.


    “Xavier, darling, this is Persephone. She’s Uncle Jonathan’s mate.” Sybille exined.


    Xavier gave Persephone a shy smile as he sipped his juice. “He’s adorable. He makes me miss my


    nieces and Kristina’s little boy Thales.” Persephone sighed.


    Sybille stiffened slightly at the name, then nodded. “Yes, I had heard that the new Nebrodi leaders


    honored myte nephew by naming their son after him.” She sighed.


    “Wait, you are Thales’ aunt?” Persephone blinked, obviously not aware of the family connection.


    “Oui. My sister was his mother. This isn’t our first meeting, Persephone.” Sybille smiled. “We met when


    you were very young. Delh was only a baby when I visited my sister in Nebrodi before I was old


    enough to shift.” She sighed.


    “I’m not very surprised you ended up with Jonathan. Like Jonathan, you were a little spitfire of trouble


    as a toddler.” She chuckled.


    “Oh wow. I didn’t even realize that. I’m so sorry for your loss. I don’t know what I’d do if I lost one of my


    sisters.” Persephone sympathized.


    “Thank you. But it was your loss as well. My sister was your Luna. I wish things had been different, but


    it has worked out in the long run. My sister and her mate would be proud of Tiberius and Katrina taking


    over Nebrodi.” Sybille smiled, but there was sadness in her eyes.


    “I… I should be going. You’ll see the meeting on your calendar. We’ll meet at Sarael’s house. Jonathan


    knows where she and John live and will be able to drop you off.” Sybille excused herself, picking Xavier


    up as she left.


    “So strange to realize how the packs keep finding more ways to connect.” Persephone sighed as she


    watched Sybille walk away. “I should have realized that she was rted to Luna Slyvia. They look so


    simr.”


    “It’s okay,” I assured, rubbing her back. “Come on, let’s get to work.”


    We were almost to the door when raised voices made us pause. We both looked to Logan’s office,


    where he was shouting.


    “WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN’T COMPLETE YOUR ASSIGNMENT!? GIVE ME ONE


    GOOD FUCKING REASON YOU ARE BACKING OUT.” Logan demanded.


    “It’s personal,” Cillian answered.


    Cillian’s only assignment was to help keep tabs on that Demonw girl. This caught our attention, and


    instead of heading out the front door, we both gravitated to Logan’s office, wanting to know what was


    going on. Why would he bow out?
