JOE SAID, “CASWELL IS SECURE. It’s safe, or at least as safe as it can be. I have people I trust there, people who work for the greater good. They understand the importance of pack. And while not everyone is happy about it, they’ve put their differences aside. Regardless of what else Michelle Hughes was or what she’d done, they trusted her, for the most part. She’d been their Alpha for years. They had no reason to believe she was in with Robert Livingstone.” He tapped his fingers on our father’s desk. “Some of them left. They didn’t want me as their Alpha. I didn’t stop them. They had a right to choose the life they wanted.”

We were in the office. Ox stood by the window, looking out into the trees, hands clasped behind him. Gordo sat near him, Mark on the armrest of the same chair, his hand on the back of Gordo’s head. Kelly stood near Joe, his eyes on me and Gavin, who had decided he wanted to hide behind me again. Mom was next to him, not speaking, just watching. The others were still in the house, listening, Tanner filling in Bambi and Jessie about what was being said. They’d wanted to give Gavin space.

I shook my head. “And you just let them go.”

“Yes,” Joe said. “I did. Because I never want to force anyone to be somewhere they don’t want to be. I made sure they found places with other packs, so at least they’ll have temporary bonds until they figure out what they want to do.” He rubbed a hand over his face. “I know how it sounds, Carter. But I’m not the kind of Alpha who asserts his will over everyone, their own feelings be damned. Dad taught me better than that.”

“It’s the name,” Mom said suddenly. It was the first time she’d spoken since we’d come into the office. “Bennett. Some see that as a good thing. Some don’t.”

“That’s putting it mildly,” Gordo said. “They’d rather take the chance of turning Omega than have Joe as their Alpha.”

By the way Joe sighed, it sounded like they’d had this conversation a few times before. “It’s big, being the Alpha of all. Bigger than I ever thought it would be. There’s only so much Dad could have prepared me for. It took me a long time, but I learned. At least I like to think I did. But then after everything that happened in Caswell, it was like I was starting all over again. I felt so small and big all at the same time. I wrestled with it. I could have stopped them from leaving. I could have forced them to stay. I didn’t.”

“And some already had their minds made up,” Mark said. “Regardless of what else happened, they saw Michelle as their Alpha, the man known as Ezra her witch.”

Kelly didn’t like that. “They should have known better. They saw what he did to Dale, even if they say they didn’t. He had some control over them, and they claim it’s all hazy, like they couldn’t wake up.
