The Secrets of The Reverence Pack

Chapter 27: Suspicion

He didn't want to have to do this. He wanted to finally relax and get some sleep now that all the chaos that was the past two weeks were over with. He had been so worried about Shiro and his wounds from those hunters that he hadn't been getting that much sleep. Surprisingly the man actually started answering his phone to him, though. They had a bunch of late-night conversations the past few days. It was calming just to hear his tired voice over the phone, even when he knew that they should both be sleeping.

It seemed like night time was best to call him. He kept himself busy throughout the day. Jett didn't like that he had still decided to work after getting those wounds. Dr. Bailey said that he needed to stay in bed for at least two days. Jett was half tempted to go over to that pack house of his and force him to stay down. But he knew he couldn't.

Which brought him back to the present. Where he was somehow supposed to convince two other Alphas to do an investigation on the pack that his mate was supposed to lead soon. It felt like he was betraying him by doing this. But he couldn't deny what Alex had said. Both Shiro and Geo were acting like they were afraid of mating. Jett could understand Shiro's reaction to it. As the next leader of his pack, they might think that he belonged to the Valor pack and then he would never gain his title. Jett didn't want that.

But Geo shouldn't have had the same reaction that Shiro had. He should have been able to accept it. They were both two betas, and seconds to their respective alphas, but that didn't mean that they were seen as a bad pairing. It was typically up to the Alphas to decide what should happen in instances like that. And, since Shiro was the one in charge of Geo directly, it would be his duty to come to an agreement with him about what should happen to their seconds.

"Alright, Jett," Roger sat down at the long table. "What's this about?"

Since this was supposed to be about the Reverence Pack, Jett decided to host the meeting at his pack house. They might be suspicious of them if they decided to use the community center again.

"I need Alpha Nir as well," Jett rubbed his face. "This isn't exactly a light topic."

"It never is when a meeting is called," Roger sighed. "Especially when it's at a packhouse rather than the community center."

Before they could say anymore, the door opened and in came Alpha Nir as well as Alex and Bree. Bree was his Luna, and he needed her for meetings like this. Alex was just the best person he could think of to convince these two that this was right. They each took their place on the long table.

"Thank you both for coming on such short notice," Bree started the meeting off. "I know that you're both really busy with all that's happened."

"It's definitely been a chaotic month," Nir sighed. "I'm assuming since Sakdah isn't here that this meeting is about the Reverence Pack?"

"Yes," Jett said, straightening his back to prepare for the chaos ahead of him. "I called this meeting because I have reason to suspect that he's either breaking, or not enforcing the laws in which we all put in place long ago."

The two other Alphas straightened when they heard that. They knew what that meant. Jett wasn't entirely sure whether these two packs were ready to deal with the potential war that it could cause. Something like this was not to be taken lightly under any circumstances.

"Which one?" Nir asked.

"I don't think they're allowing mates to accept each other," Jett said. That was the greatest law that their ancestors had made. That was the law that had caused wars and battles that almost destroyed them as well as the town. But it was crucial to them surviving. If they didn't enforce allowing mates to be with each other, then they would forever undergo the curse and their packs would grow smaller until they all but diminished.
