Chapter 46 Asher I sat and waited in my office for the new girl, while she waved her father off could not be behereddealing with tears, nor with her irritating father, in all honesty. My fine le had mentioned that theupcoming Beta from their pack was coming to collect is father, so there was no way in hell I plannedto hang around in case the young guy was anything like his Dad Spending time with his Dad hadbeen taxing enough, I did not need to be forced to spend time with two of them, the older versionand the younger version F**k that So, I had told the new girl how to replace my office, and to come and replace me when the was done. Giveher some privacy to say her goodbyes, and then I would continue this induction before leaving herto her own devices. The sooner, the better, in my opinion, for I had things to do, and having to art asfriendly host was hurting my “Friendly host!” Zion chuckled, like he found my thoughts highly amusing Tod 1 blink and miss that bit Pi** off I warned him. ‘Or I will block you out too! Like you do half of the pack?’ he pushed: Why the hell I got a wolf with an attitude I don’t knowThough Caleb says he kind of reminds him of me when I was younger, but I don’t know what he istalking about. I was nothing like that…. I lifted my coffee mug off the table and focused my eyes on the papers in front of me just as myoffice door opened. I looked up with a scowl. So, the new girl thought she was able to just wanderinto my office because I said she could come and replace me here? She never heard of knocking Thinkshe’s got some learning to do! Just as I was about to get her told, my Uncle strides into the office,that annoying smile upon his face. “Ah Asher, there you are!” he says, sounding far too cheerful for a morning. Though where the hellelse he expected me to be, I have no clue. Not like I’d be on the beach with a c**ktail, is it? The new girl steps in behind him, looking more than a little awkward, and rightly so, just coming inhere like this. “Not sure where else you would expect me to be Uncle” I said with a roll of my eyes. “Well, not leaving the young girl to replace her way back night have been the gentlemanly thing to do.

you know? But then I don’t suppose you are a gentleman, are you? Or you have forgotten how to be. Ihad to help poor Bailey replace her way here.” He tells me almost angrily, like I was the worst host everTalking down to me like I was a naughty little schoolboy. Had he not worked it out? I didn’t want tobe doing this “Well, I gave her directions.” I said with a shrug, completely disregarding my Uncle’s telling off. I hadsimply been expecting her and her wolf to have been able to replace their way here between them.Evidently not. And that was not my fault. My Uncle shook his head at me and gave me a disgusted look. “I swear your mother had to havedropped you on your head, boy. She has just moved here, so she doesn’t know the pack. You aremeant to be showing her around. Plus, he was upset because she had just said goodbye to herfather and brother. Use that little pra inside of your head that you call a brain for something otherthan thinking up ways of being an a**” Balance 134.0 1 Coins 12:19 Wed Jul 31 G. Chapter 16 Asher Finished Alpha after all. have been taught to respect him, but goddess help me, does he irritate the c*p out ofme sometimes! I don’t see how I did anything wrong. She said she would be time, so I took her ather word. If she suddenly realized she wasn’t, that was not my fault! I may be a bubbling pot of furyright now, but. Zion, however, could not be more chilled, he was once again chuckling, this time atmy Uncle giving me a hard time. Seriously, I need a new wolf, one that actually shows some loyaltyto me, not that laughs at everyone giving me s**t. “Lapologize, when Miss West said she would be okay, I assumed she would be.” I said with a darkglance in her direction, but she was now avoiding my gaze, but even from that momentary look Icould see there were tears upon her face. Heaven knows why, it wasn’t like she was leaving themforever, they were a phone call away. She wasn’t going to war, though I think I would rather go to

war than work with kids“Well, try and replace the gentleman within you, Asher, if he is still even there, and be nice. Bailey hashad a diflicult day. She is a little upset because it is never easy having to say goodbye. So, gocomplete the induction, show her around our beautiful pack, all of it, and maybe even take her todinner. Welcome her to our pack properly. We are lucky to have her here, so make sure she knowswe appreciate her being here. My Uncle says with a smile upon his face, like he believed he hadjust come up with the most wonderful of ideas. Wait… what? Take her to f**g dinner? This was sounding more like a date than an induction now. Idon’t think so. I signed up to a brief induction to pack, not a full-on, top of the range tour of the packwith me as tour guide and dimer included. And as for being lucky to have her here, how did theyknow until she actually started teaching? She could well be a terrible teacher for all they knew. If my Uncle wanted her to be treated like that, why the hell was he not doing it himself? But, in trueUncle form, he walked out of my office, that irritating smile upon his face, humming that song helikes to himself, leaving me and the new girl alone. I looked across to her awkwardly. I hope she isnot expecting all the things my Uncle just mentioned, because she would be sorely disappointed… S
