Chapter 54 – Jordan My first night in our new home with Gia was truly amazing. If this was going to be life with a mate,then I could most certainly get used to it. Waking up next to her in her pack for those first days hadbeen incredible, but here in a house that I knew would be our forever home, well, it was on anotherlevel. Seeing her as I opened my eyes, brought a contentment to me and my wolf I could notdescribe. This was what I had needed, yet I had just not realized it. I snaked my arm around her waist, pulling her close to me, loving the contact of her skin againstmine. “Again?” she giggled. “Can I help it if I replace my mate irresistible?” I purred into her ear, causing her to giggle once more,making me smile. ‘Jordan need you in my office asap.’ My Dad suddenly mindlinked, and my heart dropped. Wow. Nothing like c**k- blocking your own son was there?! ‘Are you sure I am needed?’ I tried, desperately hoping he would get the message and wouldrealize I wanted some time with my mate. ‘You have all of your life to be with your mate, Jordan. Keep your mucky mitts to yourself, and get tomy office. We have this mess to deal with. Your Uncle is on his way, and we need to speak with himabout everything. My Dad linked, and I knew despite his slight joke he added in there, he wasdeathly serious. This was our only chance we would get to put this across to my 09:38 Chapter 54 Jordan 283 Wouden Uncle. And if he didn’t listen, then we would be facing the council, seeking their help on the matter.And that was the last thing we wanted. ‘On my way.’ I grumbled reluctantly, with a big sigh. “Everything okay baby?” Gia looked up at me with those beautiful eyes of hers, and I instantly hated

this mess, but I knew what I had to do. “I have to go out, I am needed at the office to deal with everything that has been going on, so asmuch as I do not want to leave you, and trust me, I cannot tell you just how much I do not want toleave you, I really need to be there.” I explained, with a sad smile. Gia smiled, her calm and caring smile. “It is fine. I will still be here when you get home. This needsdealing with, so go and deal with it.” I softly placed a kiss upon her head as I clambered from the bed and rushed to the shower, knowingif I did not rush then my Dad would be on my case, and I did not need my previously good moodcompletely ruined by him. I got to the office in record time, to replace Ellis just arriving too, and he smiled enthusiastically as hesaw me. “Your Dad disturbed your time in bed with your new mate too, by any chance?” he askedwith a grin, and I couldn’t help but smirk at him. I had heard Ellis had found his mate too, so it didn’tsurprise me that my Dad had disturbed him as well as me. “Hmm, I wonder what gave you that idea? The ever so cheerful expression on my face?” I saidsarcastically. 0938 Chapter 54 Jordan “You mean the same one I am wearing?” he grinned. “But, he is right. This does need dealing with,and Miles is passed out right. now, so no better time, right?” Of course, that would have been why my Dad was up and doing this as early as he was. Miles willbe rough today after his late night drinking session, because he continued drinking long after I lefthim last night because he was persistently mindlinking me to go and join him. I think he hadforgotten I had found my mate now and did not need to be going out to the bars to pick women uplike he was suggesting. Him being out of it gave us an opportunity to speak to my Uncle, the pack Alpha, and Miles’s fatherwithout any chance of Miles disturbing us. Offering us the opportunity to explain all that needed tobe explained to him. And, hopefully, he would see things the way we needed him to. He would see

our side. “You think your Dad will listen El?” I asked him, as we approached my Dad’s office door “Not a clue, he has a habit of not seeing any flaw in anything Miles does, so if that is what happenshere, then in truth, we are in trouble.” He says with a shrug as he knocked on the door. “Yep.” My Dad called, as Ellis opened the door, slowly sticking his head around the door. “Hey Uncle, oh hey Dad.” He smiled, as I followed him in. “Oh, why do I feel like I am being ambushed here?” My Uncle suddenly says, crossing his arms “We need to talk, and we feel the more of us here to express our concerns the more likely you areto listen.” My Dad said, and I Chapter 54-Jordan 1 suddenly felt more than a little concerned, especially, going off the angry expression upon myUncle’s face. “Oh, is that right? And what is it we are talking about? Because this does not feel right.” My Uncle’seyes darted between the three of us, and I could see his eyes were flickering between those ofhimself and his wolf, and I knew if his wolf came out we would be in trouble. “We are worried about Miles Dad.” Ellis took center stage, and the moment Miles was mentioned,Alpha Marshall stood up, his anger flaring immediately. “Yet you didn’t think it was right to have him here to defend himself?” he snapped. “Considering he is passed out because he has been drinking heavily again, that would be difficult.”My Dad said almost sarcastically, telling me he would not be taking any messing. “He has issuesMarshall, and we need them addressed, before he destroys the pack you have worked hard tomaintain.” “What the f**k do you mean he has issues? He is a young Alpha wolf enjoying life is all.” My Uncledismissed the bad behavior as nothing of concern, which did not surprise me. My Dad shook his head while Ellis suddenly walked across and stood in front of his Dad, “And whatabout attempting to kill a pack member? Is that a young Alpha wolf enjoying life?” My Uncle’s mouthdropped open and was about to speak, but Ellis continued. “Or meeting his fated mate and rejecting

her because he deemed her not good enough for him?” Once again, my Uncle’s mouth was wide open. Shock etched all across his face. “No. Not Miles.Surely not.” He muttered, Chapter 54 Jordan looking at my father as if he expected to tell him Ellis was wrong. “Did you know about this?” 1 “I only just discovered it. Why do you think I moved Bailey?” Alpha Marshall looked confused now. “Bailey? What has she to do with it?” “She was his fated mate. He treated her like s***it, Dad. Total **t for years. Then he had tried tokeep her here, for whatever reason, despite rejecting her. And then attacked a warrior she wasfriends with to the point he almost died. Had I not found. him and stopped him, I am certain that thewarrior would be dead. Had I not then taken him to the hospital, he would have been dead.” Ellissnapped. My Uncle dropped into his seat, shaking his head. “Why? No, it doesn’t make sense. That does notsound like Miles.” “It is true, Uncle, believe us. Bailey has suffered at the hands of Miles for years. Bullying and thenrejection. He did not want her working away from here, he wanted her by his side yet did not wanther. And then tried to hurt the one man that was making her smile again. We had to allow him andhis family a safe passage out of our pack. Have you ever heard of a pack having to do that beforefor an Alpha? Because I don’t think that is normal behavior?” I said, knowing I was treading a thinline in how I spoke to him, but I needed him to hear what we felt. He needed to see how dire thesituation had become. “The warrior and his family left the pack?” he murmured. “Because of Miles?” “He couldn’t be trusted not to do the same again, Dad. Do you not see that? He is **g dangerous. Ihave heard some of the Chapter 54 – Jordan things he says. Because he is the upcoming Alpha. He sees himself as untouchable. It makes him

dangerous. Harley was told to leave for his own safety. As was Bailey. Though she wanted to leave.She hasn’t been happy here for some time, and who can blame her with how Miles has treatedher?” Ellis says with some spite to his tone. “Miles deemed her not good enough and made sure allacross pack thought the same.” “Bailey wasn’t happy here?” My Uncle chewed his lower lip. “Sweet Bailey? I thought she loved herhome.” “Why do you think she wanted to study away? And then why do you think she begged to go andwork elsewhere?” I pointed out, hating that I likely played a part in that in how I had treated her too.But, I am doing my part in putting that right now. “Miles has become out of control, Marshall. He needs dealing with. He is out each night drinkingheavily. Sleeping with random. she-wolves. And being aggressive now around pack. He broke packrules in rejecting his fated mate, which is not allowed by an Alpha, not if you follow the older rules ofa pack. He has bullied and made Bailey suffer needlessly for years, yet she has kept quiet. None ofus knew, even her own f**g family! Do you know how bad that makes us feel?” My Dad yelled, andmy Uncle looked to him with wide eyes, shocked at just how angry he had got. “That boy has beengiven far too much freedom over the years and now the power has gone to his head. He feelsnothing can touch him. But, he needs pulling back into line. He needs dealing with appropriatelybefore he becomes so much out of control that there is no way back. So, the question is, are yougoing to deal with him yourself, or are you going to continue to make excuses for him like youalways have and force me to go to the werewolf council for the benefit- and safety of our pack?”
