Chapter 16

Chapter 16 “Okay, please print them out for me,” Gracie requested. Ater taking the printed coples, they drove back to the packhouse. Since it was late, most people were already sleeping. Gracie was studying the results whiles Jason drove. “It’s the same with all the ones I saw “That is the problem,” Jason agreed. His eyes were on the road, Gracie paused as if in deep thoughts. These kinds of complications were always handled by Rowena. “If you will give me time, I will speak with Rowena. She has a special healing gift or you can use your Alpha authority to force her. Just don’t let her know that I told you,” Gracie said in a slightly guilty tone. She felt as if she was betraying her best friend slash cousin. Jaxon was glad that Gracie was on his side but his response amazed her. “I know I can but I won’t, I want her to help from her free will. Gracie smiled and responded, “You are a good man, Alpha Jaxon” She loved that Jaxon had profound respect for Rowena. “But it does not change the fact that Rowena hates my entire family because of my brother, Jason complained. He was determined to use every means, including everyone close to Rowena, to win her to his side. It was not fair for him to pay for his brother’s sins when he disapproved of it. “Give her time, Alpha. Please give her time” “But she is leaving.” Jaxon insisted. He was testing her. “She can’t leave when the old Alpha is still sick. It’s not in her nature to turn her back on a sick patient, Gracie revealed, making him sigh in relief but he was still concerned. “How will you know?” “There was a time at the hospital when we had a famous patient. Her case was an emergency and Rowena had just arrived when she was called to attend to the woman. Due to the condition, she did not have time to put on her doctor’s coat and went to examine the woman’s condition. The woman, though sick, was very proud and embarrassed Rovena. She said she wanted a different doctor to work no her so another doctor was sent.” “No one could cure her condition so after three days, she agreed for Rowena to check on her condition.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Rowena was upset because of what the woman did but still went on to do the needful. That woman was discharged the next day and later sent a thank you gift, which Rowena sent back to her with the note that kindness does not demand ghts. I learned that the woman was embarrassed but also agreed that Rowena was right. See, Rowena said those things because she was upset but until the old Alpha is well, trust me, she will not leave, Gracie said with a conviction that made Jaxon smile. “Thanks for leming me know this, I just can’t afford to lose her again.” They had gotten back to the pack house so Gracie went to see the old Alpha and said, “Alpha, the results are still the same. I will convince Rowena to come and have a look.”

The old Alpha’s lips thinned. “I will like that and if you don’t mind, you can all move to the pack house,” he said. Gracie was shocked and though it was an enticing offer, it was not in her place to accept it. “I don’t think Rowena would like that but you can let her in on the offer when she comes over “Have you found your mate yet?” Old Alpha Clinton asked her. Gracie’s cheeks were a little pink at the question, “No, Alpha but I am really not looking forward to it. I just want to marry a human and live a normal life.” Alpha Clinton’s gaze dulled. The pack doctors were all old, it would be very beneficial for them to have young doctors like this. The coffee factory was doing very well and bringing lots of profits but any time a war broke out, there were not enough doctors, “I understand but should you need anything or any kind of help, please don’t hesitate to ask” *I will remember that, Alpha. Please have a good night.” Jaxon led Gracie down the stairs but his mood was better now. Her words encouraged him greatly. When he opened the main entrance door, they both bumped into Charles and Clara. Charles’ gare darkened instantly, as his wolf, Charlie, jumped with excitement. “Our mate! Charles was fast enough to not let the word come out. Bracing himself, he walked past the two people at the doorway, Gracie stood frozen at the entrance. She was twenty six and this was the first time she heard from her woll. She did not even know the name of her wolf yet and all she said was, “Mate.

Luckily, because she had been away from the pack, it was only in her head. Clara starter Grace with anguish. This was the first time she saw Jaxon walking so close to any woman and he even had a small smile on his face. “Good evening, Alpha Clara said but Jaxon stared at her blankly and walked past her. She was the reason why he was going through what he was going through. Rowena could have endured the rejection but the egg stoning was what was unbearable for her. Clara watched as he led the woman beside him to the car. She got upset when Jaxon drove away with her. At first, she wanted to follow them but what happened eight years ago could not be forgotten in a hurry. Therefore, she chased after Charles, who had already gotten to his bedroom and locked the door. Not knowing the reason for his sudden change of attitude, Clara walked home alone. In the car, Jason noticed how Gracie’s bubbly mood had turned cold. “Are you alright?” He asked carefully. Gracie could not hold it. What she felt was strange and she could not hide it “Plaase Alpha, who is that man and woman?” “That’s y 1/2 junior brother Charles and his girlfriend, Clara, Jaxon responded nonchalantly 1129) Chapter 16 Grace’s eyes dimmed. It was now that she understood very well, what Rowena was feeling. The bond was so strong and yet, the man walked past her. Now she understood it was because he had already fallen in love with a woman who was not his mate. “Oh, he already has a girlfriend.” Javon grip lightened around the steering wheel a little. “Is he your…” *it doesn’t matter, Alpha. He rejected Rowena because of his girlfriend so he would indeed mject me too. Haha, I guess I should leave.” Jaxon could not believe that history was going to repeat itself, but then again, he had some peservations. “You just asked me who they were so how did you know their story?” He asked seriously. “Rowena told me. She mentioned the names but did not add pictures so as soon as you told me, I

could connect it.” Jason nodded his head in understanding. Then he encouraged her, “You don’t have to worry. Charles had dated Clara for nine years and they still aren’t mated. They also did not mark each other when she turned eighteen which I supposed to mean that he does not intend to.” “But…” “I know what you are about to say but eight years ago, he saw who Clara was. He did not tell me his intentions but I know it’s the reason why he has not married her Jason said. He could not reveal everything to Gracie but thought to give her hope “Has Clara found her mate?” Gracie asked from the blue “From what I heard; she was mated to an omega but rejected the poor guy who in turn left the pack from the shame. Those are all rumors and no one knows the guy involved. There are thousands of people in the pack so I can’t know everynne by name” “Lunderstand. The car stopped and Gracie was about to alight when Jaxon said, “Please convince your hiend to stay and d both of you will not regret it “Are you not coming in?” Gracie was confused and asked. Somehow, Jaxon felt that since Rowena nas in a had mood, she should be allowed to rest today. “No. But I should see you both at training tomorrow. In case you don’t know, it’s a pack rule. With the exception of those over forty, everyone else. whether guest or member, trains with us? Gracie did morning joggings but that was all there was to it. However, after Jaxon had stated that she could not disagree, she winds up using Rowena as an excuse. “I will tell Rowena about it.” “Goodnight Grace, it’s nice talking to you.” “Goodnight, Alpha” “You are Rowena’s friend so you can address me by my name. Do you have a phone?” Jason asked in a serious tone, feeling that she might refuse. “Yes Alpha….mean, Jason,”

“Good. Take my number and inform me on her decision when you tell her about training, Please don’t let her leave without my knowing” he said in a serious tone whiles dialing his number on her phane, Gracie sled and said, “Nice speaking wch you, Jaxon” When Gracie went into Alice’s house after Jaxon left, she was surprised to see that both Alice and Rowera were still awake. The c ocked meal on the dining table was a so untouched. “How did it go?” Alice asked at the same time Rowena asked, “where is the Alpha? Both Gracie and Alice were quite surprised as Gracie asked, “I thought you’d rather ask about how the old Alpha was doing” 2,2 Send Gift
