Alpha Grace's POV.

John has been so helpful these past few months. It's clear to see that he loves working as a Bète and that he cares for his pack.

He did as much as he could to help as he healed from his injuries. My former Bète was all but happy to give the role of Bète to John. He just wanted to retire and enjoy a peaceful life.

John still has some problems with his wrist, but other than that his injuries have healed up nicely. Today I plan on going to see the elderly pack members I have. I do this twice a week and make sure to spend a hour with each one. It takes me all day but it's more than worth it.

John sometimes joins me, but he mainly stays at the pack house to take care of everything for me while I'm gone.

John is currently helping me get things ready for breakfast for all the new pack members I have here in the pack house. The two new humans seem to be getting along just fine since moving in.

I think the girl really enjoys the unity that we have here in this pack. Being able to give that to someone who's never had it before and seeing the smile on their faces makes me the happiest person ever.

It brings me joy to bring joy to those who need it. " Did you sleep well last night?" I ask John.

" Yes I did. I slept amazingly. How did you sleep?" Asks John.

Truth is, I didn't have a good sleep last night. I dreamt of the dad things ended between my mate and I. It was a good day to finally be free of him, but the absolute agony I felt with breaking our bond nearly did me in.

I still have nightmares about the pain or about it turning out differently and me being stuck with him forever. John knows about these nightmares because it's like he can see right through me if I try to lie about them. I don't mean to lie, I just don't want to worry him.

" Had another nightmare. " I say.

" The pain of the bond breaking." He says. What he said was more of a statement than a question.

I simply nod in response. " You sure you want to go see the pack today? You usually feel the pain for about two days after if the dream is bad enough." Says John.

I've actually been thinking that over. " I'm not sure. " I say honestly looking at him.

" Then how about this, we sit and eat breakfast and then afterwards if you still feel bad then you take today off and rest up. You can't look after the pack if you don't look after yourself first. " says John.

He's got a point. This is one of the reasons I love him being my Bète so much. He's always looking after me as much as I look after him.

" Ok, that's reasonable. " I say. He nods and offers me a smile before we finally sit down and everyone gets a plate of food.

John talks to the new members as he eats a small helping of eggs. He must have eaten breakfast before arriving this morning. I don't have these nightmares that often. Maybe once every few weeks and usually they aren't as bad as the one I had last night. Maybe I should take today off and get some rest?

I look down at my hands as I'm eating to see that they are trembling. I look at John and he gives me a pointed look. I nod in response.

He seems to relax more then and continues on with his conversation. As I finish eating, I contact my Gamma and ask her if she would be willing to seethe packs elderly today for me. She agrees right away.

Now that I've settled that, I allow my self to relax more and keep up a conversation with the new human girl. " Thank you again for letting us stay. " she says.

" You are not just staying here Julia. You are a part of this pack just like everyone else and until you feel it's safe for you to go anywhere, this place will always be here to be your home. " I say.

" You're so kind. You are a truly amazing woman. " she says.

" So are you. Never forget that." I say. She grins and I feel better being able to make her smile. After we finish eating, I get up and start helping them out the dishes up when one of the workers stops me.

" It's ok Alpha Grace. John said you needed to rest up today. We have everything under control. " he says.

I smile fondly and nod. I turn and walk off towards John. " You told them on me?" I ask.

"All I said was you couldn't sleep last night and needed rest. " says John.

I huff out a small laugh. " Thank you. " I say.

"Anytime Alpha. You go rest and let me know if you need anything at all. I'll be taking care of your work today. " says John.

I nod in response and start making my way upstairs to my room. Once I'm there and I close the door, I lean back against the door and sigh in relief.

No work for me today, just time to relax. I have such wonderful people here with me. I walk overs d sit on the edge of my bed and pull out a bottle of pills.

They are specially designed pain pills for a werewolf. Since we heal fast, we burn through regular pain pills easily. So we get specially made one. This bottle was prescribed to me for me to only take when I have those dreams and need pain relief for the phantom aches.

They work amazingly. Once I take two, I go and change into my pajamas and get back in bed. John's right, I should just take this day and rest, so that's what I'm going to do.
