Matthew's POV.

I'm a bit nervous. I never expected to be called to the Alpha's office. Thoughts keep running through my mind.

What if he tells me I need to leave and go back to Alpha Lucas's pack? I really like this pack and I don't know if I'm ready to leave. I've got nothing else for me over there. My parents are gone and now it's just me and my mate.

I'll leave if I have to, but I'm really hoping that's not the case. As we sit down Alpha Kurt and Bète Rick share a look and by the smile I know I can relax a little.

Bète Rick turns towards me. " I have a request for you. You can say no, but I figured you would be the best pick for the job. " he said.

I tilt my head to the side in confusion. " Ok. " I said.

" You see Matthew, the title of Alpha, Bète and Gamma are usually passed down to their children and so on. My children are in different packs now. My job now is to pick someone from the pack and train them to become Bète. " says Bète Rick.

Next to me Clair gasps and grabs my hand. " I've thought long and hard about this. None of the children here are of age to start any training, but it's different with you two. " he says.

It finally starts to click in my mind of what he's saying. My eyes widen. " I've chosen you Matthew. " he says.

My jaw drops and I stutter with my words. " M-me... as B-Bète. B-but I'm nowhere near qualified. I... I don't .... I just. Oh Wow. " I say. Clair laughs beside me.

" That's an amazing offer sir, but I have a question. We're not a part of your pack, how would this work?" She asks.

" I've already talked to Alpha Lucas and he said he would be happy to let you transfer to this pack. This would be your home pack from now on if you say yes. " says Bète Rick.

" Alpha Lucas really said yes?" I ask.

" Yes he did. He knows it would be hard for you to go back right now given what happened. He doesn't want to put you under a lot of stress, which is why he hasn't ordered you to go back and requested for you to return. " says Bète Rick.

" He's very considerate that way. " says Alpha Kurt.

" Why me though?" I ask.

Bète Rick give me a soft smile. " I've seen the way you fight. I've seen the way you react when under pressure. Plus you get along well with the pack and you're just as considerate and caring as Alpha Lucas when I comes to helping out around the pack and getting work done. I couldn't think of anyone better for the job than you. "

My jaw has dropped again and I can feel the start of tears in my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. I have to be strong.

" You don't have to make the decision now if you don't want too. I understand if you want time to think it over. " said Bète Rick.

I really don't want to leave this pack. Being offered this job is like a dream come true. I just don't understand why he's want a human to take that position and not another werewolf like them.

" I'm human though. " I say.

" That doesn't make a difference to us Matthew. Human or not, you're still a good guy. Those who don't like it will come around eventually. Not everyone will be on board with it right away and that's ok. As Alpha, Bète and Gamma, we have to do what's best for the pack no matter if they disagree if not. I feel like you are the best for the job. " said Bète Rick.

Kurt smiles at me reassuringly. " He's right Matt. I've seen you helping out where you can around the pack. I feel like you're the right guy for the job too. "

" Don't let our words sway you to saying yes if you don't want to do it. I'd feel awful if we pressured you into it. This is after all still your choice. " Bète Rick said.

I lower my head a little to think. " What's  on your mind sweetie?" Asks Clair.

" This feels like a dream. " I say. They look a little confused and concerned. " I was hoping to stay in this pack because I really like it and I'm not ready to go back. Being offered this job is like a dream come true. You're giving me a chance to stay and heal from the loss of my parents. You're giving me a place to stay and now a wonderful job too. It's amazing. "

They smiled at me. I look at Clair. " It's your choice Matt. I'll support you no matter what you decide. " says Clair.

I nod before turning to look at Bète Rick. " I accept. "

Relief comes across his face. I feel relief too. I can relax. This is going to be our new pack now and I'm more excited then every before.

" Thank you Matthew. " said Bète Rick.

" When do we start training?" I ask.

He lets out a small laugh. " Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. " he said. I let out a small nervous laugh and grin. " We need to introduce you as our new pack members. "

" I was hoping to do it tonight at the pack dinner. If you guys are ok with that?" Asks Alpha Kurt.

I look at Clair and nod. She grins. " That would be amazing. Thank you both. " says Clair.

" Very well then. This is exciting. We haven't introduced anyone since Cassandra, Clayton and Connor joined the pack a while back. " says Alpha Kurt.

" Don't forget Amelia as well. " says Bète Rick.

Alpha Kurt nods solemnly. " Well, let's get started. We have some transfer paperwork to fill out and preparations to make. Are you ready?" He asks.

" Yes sir. " the two of us say.

They laugh and with that we get started on the paperwork. This day has turned out amazing. I can't wait to see what comes next.
